      Glad I wasn't the only one that had the same feeling about him. He really reminds me of my grandson, he had to be next to Pops whenever I was doing any kind of work, he just wanted to learn. We are really missing this today. God Bless this family. RLTW

    So nice to see you and the family on todays farm. From the seat of an old hand-brake Allis Chalmers WC from sixty years ago, on a 100 acre pile of ledge and rocks in Massachusetts of all places, some great memories I would not trade with anyone. And having a son who wants to be where you are is hard to describe. My little boy is now over 50. The first time I heard the neighbors green and yellow model A, I fell in love with that sound, used to work for him,(40 cents an hour), but got to drive his green machines. "You can take the boy off the farm, but you cant take the farm off the boy." and so it is.

    I didn't start running machinery until I was 12. By 14 I was the hired man on Dad's farm. So I'm watching these harvest videos with great memories.
    My best advice is to make sure Onyx goes to university or Ag college after high school. It'll teach him about surviving in the outside world without mom and dad close by. He'll learn to make decisions on his own, some bad but mostly good decisions while in school. Then come home and go farming. All that he has learned, both while growing up and in post secondary school, will help Onyx be a great farmer!

    Love seeing these ultra modern combines working. At one point that your walking the field I saw whole cobbs on the ground, I thought they were ground up before they’re expelled from the machine. Watching your son I could see myself 65 years ago. 👍👍

    Tip for Onyx: Don't ever leave home. His life was mine growing up. Exactly doing what he is doing. My father ran about 3500 acres growing up, part his and part custom combining and drilling. Mom delivering our bologna lunch every day to dad and me and his hired hands.
    I left after I graduated. Biggest regret of my life. Stay at home kid. Take over that family farm. Just watching this brings back that smell. The sounds and sights of being out in the middle of nowhere at night harvesting, combining, cultivating and discing.

      Solid and ~relate-able~ comment my dude. I didn't grow up on a farm, but I love seeing Onyx get after it. Reminds me of my upbringing... just with more Deere! I'm sure ZJ's gonna get that kid a quality education, but I hope he finds his way home to carry on the family tradition!

      @@jackbook8400 Thanks my man. I joined the Army straight outta High School. Not ashamed of that, I just wish I had stayed on the farm. Dad doesn't farm near as much anymore. He has about 1000 acres crop and arohnd 160 head of cattle. Not sure exact how much pasture.

    It's great seeing the kid drive the tractor. I was probably a bit older when I started driving by myself, for like an hour with the plow. Now I'm 16 and I operate our mower, rake, round baler, plow (in case we do), cultivators, disc harrow, roller, stuff with the front end loader and sometimes the combine. The only operations I don't do are seeding, spraying, spreading fertiliser and driving the trucks
