Growing up, I learned when mom or dad asked 'Do you want to go [do something]?' that the answer is always yes. I also learned 'Do you have your shoes on?' is a lead up to a very busy day.
There's a hilarious old YT video called "How To Talk Minnesotan" that covers a lot of quirks. When I moved away my coworkers could never figure out how "oh not too bad" was a positive and cheerful response to "how's it going?"
I love your Dad asking the question when he was actually suggesting. When I grew up in Connecticut my Dad would say, 'Do you want to clean out the chicken coop?' when he was actually expecting it to be done. Of course I always wanted to say, 'Well, No, I don't WANT to clean out the chicken coop.' Some people have no sense of humor.
I never noticed those types of questions/Midwestern lingo until I had some friends and family over from the East coast and they thought it was rude the way we talked to each other 😂. Honestly I thought us folks from Wisconsin were some of the nicest people.
Folks from Wisconsin are some of the nicest people. Born in Columbus, still have family in Madison area and elsewhere. Grew up in southern Michigan, now I live in Indiana. Midwestern all the way through. "Fly over" is where the people are that keep the country from going completely off the rails - and they feed us to while they're at it!
As a professional mechanic, I will always say, if you see an engineer design something there is a mechanic somewhere using working words wondering why & how they designed that way.
My friend the engineer would shake his head how one of his equals became and engineer and didn't know what angle iron was. (I initially misspelled angle as angel, now that would have got you wondering) For those of you still wondering it has nothing to do with the PGA.
Thanks Zack for the dad explanation. This is my favorite MF video yet. You are still your dad's son. That's a gift. My dad just passed. I did very important work, yet I was still my dad's son.
I TOTALLY understand when someone wants you to do something by asking a question. My wife is totally that way. The other day I walked into our bedroom and there was my wife...looking at a pair of my underwear that were laying on the floor. She wanted me to put them in the clothes hamper. So...what does she do? She asks me a question, "Are these yours?" Which meant, I found out later, I needed to pick them up and put 'em in the hamper. But that would have been direct and to the point. 3 words...Put These Away". Again she asked me if the underwear were mine and I replied, "I certainly hope so...because if they aren't I've got a few questions of my own." Thanks for the video Zach. Take care and be safe.
Yeah I was raised in Minnesota, literally about 20 miles north of you, and when my dad said, “do you want to go clean out the barn?” That wasn’t a question of whether I want to do it or not, that was kind of an order! 🥴😎
I grew up in southern Manitoba only 5.5 miles North of the 49th with pretty much the same set of rules and suggestions. I only made the mistake of saying no one time when Dad said "would you like to"!
Yup. He is not telling you. He is asking if your going to do the obvious. Did you ever say no? I did... That next look you get speaks volumes. Completely non verbal, but your next words. " Ohhh yea no I am going to do that next.
I'm from the Nordics and we all do those "questions". We grow up with them. It's the same in all Nordic countries. Your parents do it as a way to say "you dolt, why are you just sitting there, can't you figure it out yourself that you should...". Adults do it to one another as well, but it's really seen as passive aggression and won't go down well outside of close family or friend circles.
That order disguised as a question is a really good boss technique even here in the Northeast. I always would ask my cops “can you do me a favor?” But it was really “do this”. But the subordinates understand what it really is, but prefer it that way rather than as an order. The boss gets along better with them too! Always worked for me!
I'm from Iowa and my family is very Scandinavian. Until you said something I never really noticed that my parents/grandparents do the same exact thing when they want us to go do something. I wouldn't say it's passive aggressive, it's just the culture from which your family grew up in and are used to saying/doing. It's actually pretty interesting now that you've brought it to my attention
Back in the day we had three JD 8820 combines, all three were short on power, we took the fuel pumps off and sent them to Sun Prairie Wisconsin to get calibrated and set at John Deere’s highest specs. What a huge difference it made, probably gained 75 HP. It was like running a whole new machine. Well worth the time and money. Also they started much better in cold weather.
Great awesome video zach , Nate , Jim , that’s a change you finishing beans that quickly in the season , I think zach will be getting a honey bee header in the future . Very impressed with your comments plus up in Canada in Saskatchewan they use them on new Holland combines lots .
Hey Zach! I really love your videos and I really want to say that you inspire me to be a farmer just like you. I started working with my grandparents at the farm with harvest this season. Thanks for inspiring me! Also I’m from Nebraska
Geez Zach …. Your insight to the senior speak the passive aggressive Directions To You To Do …. Very very insightful to getting along with Dad who’s STILL BOSS!!! You honored him and his instructions with your acceptance and actions 🙏🙏
I grew up in MI, and have now lived in OR for the last 20 years but still do the midwestern questions, my kids are starting to catch on and are starting to do it to my wife now, she doesn't appreciate it much, lol.
Zach you are all so blessed great family and friends getting it done. Thanks for all you guys and girls do. Stay healthy and safe from Ponoka Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I also totally caught that question because I grew up in Minnesota and lived on my uncle's Farm in South Dakota and that is exactly how we talked all the time
I'm not Midwestern and my family isn't but growing up and even now its the same way. Another good one is "if your bored, you can do ____" or even "if your not busy can you..." Translations: You're going to do this and why haven't you done so already and I want this done right now so get on it
By your name i can presume you have some east european ancestry and they also do questions as orders. At least around Baltic Sea (but of course it's old Swedish territory in 1600s)
Glad you said, "Thunderrrr". I noticed it wasn't included a few times recently and I was oddly disappointed. Don't know why, but I was looking for it. So, thank you.
"What if...?" - Midwestern style! Also right up there with being volun-told what to do. Someone volunteers you for a job, and then tells you about it later.
If he hasn't already, I think Jim would be a great guest to talk to on "off the husk". For the little bit I've seen him in videos he seems like a helluva good guy.
Just throwing this out there. Years ago we had two different deere mechanics say it's not necessary to change the accelerator speed or feeder house clearance. We've left them the same ever since without issue. Makes switching between corn and beans much easier.
I thought of you when I was on the road today: Passed two trucks each pulling a 9870 STS with the wheels off. Couldn’t count them to see if they were single or dual fronts.
I didn't realize until you pointed it out but I do the same thing with the Midwest lingo. Used it frequently as a Ag mechanic with coworkers & customers at times.
My new favorite channel! Are there no snakes? Do you ever find arrowheads or other Indian artifacts? What part of Minnesota (or Wisconsin) are these farms? I bet it gets cold af there!
My Dad was born and raised in rural farm country in CA, he was half scottish and half trish, 2nd generation immigrant blood. He did the same thing to me, "do you think you could...." Country folk are the same everywhere. When he didn't "suggest" like that was very but puckering... if you know what I mean. LOL
In Michigans "Thumb" we're still a week out or more from starting Corn and Soy harvest. Sugar Beets are maybe 15% in but the warm weather will slow down the beet harvest as the sugar factory only accepts enough to keep the plant running in these temps. They don't rot in the ground. Michigan Sugar....Caro Mi. Oldest operating Sugar Beet Processing Plant in the U.S.
I have thinned sugar beets on a church farm, starting 50 years ago. My mom and sister and me, plus lots of other people. Sugar plant maybe closed down around here. Growing alfalfa and corn on church ground this year one of the spots I work.
I would be interested it you could do a video talking about what your practices are in regards to tillage. I am sure it is not as interesting as corn or soy beas harvesting, but I have been trying to piece together what is common out there. In New Jersey, our farm had too many rocks, sometimes it seemed we were just going out and stiring them around. Thanks!
I didn't think anything of the Mid-West question. You started explaining and I thought, "well yea, he wants you to get going and he'll finish up." I guess I didn't realize other people don't talk like that. lol
I’ve noticed that people from some parts of Northern Ireland do the ‘non-questions’ thing as well, I’m Scottish but mum is a northern irishwoman and she does it all the time, apparently it’s common in County Derry.
Our corn bu wt is 60.5 at 18.5 % moisture. I like it at 62 when at 16%. Our 10 degree above normal September gave us a light weight corn crop on the High Plains. 55 is hard to sell to the feedlots!
4:13 You're wearing my sweatshirt! :-) Got it for Christmas last year. Unfortunately, it hasn't been nearly cool enough yet here in central PA (Hershey chocolate bar area) to even think about wearing a hoodie. Stay safe up there, beanin'... cornin'.... racin'....
I appreciated your clip on the high low speed belt change over. We have lost much skin to pinched finger's trying to get the belt change over. Yes getting the shield back on was always my job for by that time Johnny was used up on his patience 🤪
I here you talking about dust on your windows. Stacyic electric cause the dust to stick on windows put a chain on the back axle and drag it on the ground and it help cut the dust from sticking on your windows on the combine
You bring back some good memory's for me. I worked for a farmer some 35 years ago and he would send me to the field with his biggest JD pulling a 40ft field cultivator and a peanut butter jar full of sunflower seeds (sunflower seeds = no smoking in tractor). You couldn't see the other 3 sides of the field so I knew Id be there for a while. Good tunes and A/C so I had it made. Oh and if the A/C quit, the tractor sat till it was fixed because you didn't get dust in his tractor. I learned so much working for him. Onyx has a great life in front of him and a great teacher to show him the way. Love your channel by the way.
I finally figured it out. I had my 11 year old son driving the 1952 Farmall H the other day, pulling the old township grader. We were grading the rock on our driveway and he couldn't keep the H going straight. I had seen Onyx driving tractors on UA-cam so I figured my son could do it too. What I now realize is that we need to install Autosteer on the H. That way the next generation of farm kids can keep the tractor going straight on the driveway. Thanks UA-cam!
Onyx going full race spec with the mullet now lol. That camera system mite come in handy keeping the girls away from him now lol. Cheers n beer's from New Zealand guy's 👍👍🍻🍻👨🔧🚜🇳🇿
how many acres of beans despite the drought no rain or summer did the beans do pretty good thanks for taken time and sharing your farming experience with us
Isn't PA a part of the old settlement of now three new states and was called New Sweden in the 1600s?!? Can't you also see along Hwy 40 a place called Vineland which is the name of a place where the Scandinavian Vikings came to at about year 1000 Ad, 500 years before some italian bloke tried to get to India? You see it works even here with questions! LOL
I’m a farmer in Iowa, i just started again after my grandparents passed. They used to have a farm and I worked there as a kid and I dropped my welding job to go on a farm and carry them on! I’dlove to come check out the millennial farms some day and do a day of work! My name is Jake, feel free to ever reach out I’ve been thinking about starting a channel myself!
Dad was a full blooded Dane, born in the US. He didn't ask. I learned early on "I don't know" is not an answer to anything. I spent a month with relatives in upstate Wis when I was young. we lived in the NE. I came home with the Ah & Ahbout and it dove mom mad.
The great thing about this kind of passive conversation, is that you can just play dumb until they outright ask. Most people who use this approach with me usually have no problem, and I will do the suggestion. The people who do this with no appreciation for my time, or the fact that I am disabled, and would be putting myself at risk, I just act like I never heard what was said, or didn't get the hint, and then they have to ask for my help, at which point I either help, or give a speech on why not, and they finally do some self reflection. I am to old for this stuff anymore i guess. God bless.
My Swedish (Johnson), male, mentors,did not mince words, no passive/aggressive. I spent a summer working with my grandfather when I was 14 in 1960. I got an earful from him.
Greetings from Germany. The passive agressive questions are a big thing in my Family too. Never thought about it either until you mentioned it. Its a thing to be nice while giving commands :).
I'm rather far from the midwestern US. I learned to speak English in Ontario, and yet, the way that he asked you that question felt rather natural. You describe it as being passive agressive, but I would describe it as being a suggestion, but also a statement to the fact that it needs to be taken care of. My first language is French. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Zach, born and raised out here in Maryland, and family lines go back a long way in this area. We do the same with with the "command question". Lol, i hate it so much, i try not to do it...
Keep filling those trucks...that's what we like to see!!!!! AND be safe!!!!!
Growing up, I learned when mom or dad asked 'Do you want to go [do something]?' that the answer is always yes. I also learned 'Do you have your shoes on?' is a lead up to a very busy day.
The shoe question is a fact.

We are!
Onyx missed a perfect “we’ve been trying to reach you about your extended warranty” moment.
Lmao 🤣 🤣
Replace car with tractor.
His response was very much like his dad though 😂
Seems like Onyx has really taken to farming a lot more lately, thats awesome
On a sukup dyer I think u can swivel the vapor ring closer or farther to the burner that might help cool it
Love it! Stay with the farm work young man. You'll never regret it. These are some of the very best times you'll ever have.
As a professional mechanic, I will always say, if you see an engineer design something there is a mechanic somewhere using working words wondering why & how they designed that way.
My father was an engineer and he was always cursing out other engineers who were not mechanics first. They have no practical experience.
So true.. when you spend your life fixing machinery you soon realise those that design machinery...dont fix machinery :)
Wait till you have to work with a architect or interior decorator.
After working those people. You will happy there are bars.
To ad, when you see an engineer that used to be a great mechanic you have a top notch engineer.
My friend the engineer would shake his head how one of his equals became and engineer and didn't know what angle iron was. (I initially misspelled angle as angel, now that would have got you wondering) For those of you still wondering it has nothing to do with the PGA.

"What if...?" - Midwestern style! Also right up there with being volun-told what to do. Someone volunteers you for a job, and then tells you about it later.

What I now realize is that we need to install Autosteer on the H. That way the next generation of farm kids can keep the tractor going straight on the driveway. Thanks UA-cam!
I'm picking up what your putting down lmao. I'm from southern Michigan and the Boss says stuff like that all the time.
Nice.
What your Pop did is common here too.
Very nice.
Onyx going full race spec with the mullet now lol. That camera system mite come in handy keeping the girls away from him now lol. Cheers n beer's from New Zealand guy's 👍👍🍻🍻👨🔧🚜🇳🇿
Would you say that header was 'the bee's knees', couldn't resist the dad joke!
how many acres of beans despite the drought no rain or summer did the beans do pretty good thanks for taken time and sharing your farming experience with us
I love watching the farmers videos cause they mostly all have dogs love a farmer and their dogs
I didn’t even know that was a thing! I’m from Wisconsin, so we also do that “what if” kinda talk. I thought that was just.. English 😂
Starting a sentence with “what if” when telling someone to do something is the only way 😂
“what if”, and “why don’t “ we’re common in Western Pennsylvania where I grew up.
Isn't PA a part of the old settlement of now three new states and was called New Sweden in the 1600s?!? Can't you also see along Hwy 40 a place called Vineland which is the name of a place where the Scandinavian Vikings came to at about year 1000 Ad, 500 years before some italian bloke tried to get to India? You see it works even here with questions! LOL
It's true. That's a scandinavian thing :) Greetings from Norway :) :)
I’m a farmer in Iowa, i just started again after my grandparents passed. They used to have a farm and I worked there as a kid and I dropped my welding job to go on a farm and carry them on! I’dlove to come check out the millennial farms some day and do a day of work! My name is Jake, feel free to ever reach out I’ve been thinking about starting a channel myself!
Central Wisconsin boy here, can confirm that wasn’t a question.
Yep!
😂😂😂
as a Norwegian, 2:00 is so tru, always "interesting" when mom or dad come later and ask if you did that...
Love seeing the kids following in there parents footsteps 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻keep the great content coming. God Bless and Stay Safe
When the question is actually an order it also happens on the fishing boats in Ireland as well
Dad was a full blooded Dane, born in the US. He didn't ask. I learned early on "I don't know" is not an answer to anything. I spent a month with relatives in upstate Wis when I was young. we lived in the NE. I came home with the Ah & Ahbout and it dove mom mad.
The great thing about this kind of passive conversation, is that you can just play dumb until they outright ask. Most people who use this approach with me usually have no problem, and I will do the suggestion. The people who do this with no appreciation for my time, or the fact that I am disabled, and would be putting myself at risk, I just act like I never heard what was said, or didn't get the hint, and then they have to ask for my help, at which point I either help, or give a speech on why not, and they finally do some self reflection. I am to old for this stuff anymore i guess. God bless.
Zach, did you say the honey bee header was a real honey? Looking good getting beans harvested.
My Swedish (Johnson), male, mentors,did not mince words, no passive/aggressive. I spent a summer working with my grandfather when I was 14 in 1960. I got an earful from him.
I am of Scandinavian descent and grew up in SD so I understand your monikers 100% .
Greetings from Germany. The passive agressive questions are a big thing in my Family too. Never thought about it either until you mentioned it. Its a thing to be nice while giving commands :).
I'm rather far from the midwestern US. I learned to speak English in Ontario, and yet, the way that he asked you that question felt rather natural. You describe it as being passive agressive, but I would describe it as being a suggestion, but also a statement to the fact that it needs to be taken care of. My first language is French. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Zach, born and raised out here in Maryland, and family lines go back a long way in this area. We do the same with with the "command question". Lol, i hate it so much, i try not to do it...
