How and why is the water so clean? Not only does soil capture water, but soil also filters water. Water that moves into and through soil is cleaned by physical, chemical, and biological processes. When pollutants carried by water get caught in the small pores of the soil, they get physically cleaned. After draining, the soil has more pore volume available for water infiltration during the next rain because of the larger volume of empty pores.
Consequently, more infiltration and less runoff may occur with an artificially drained soil compared to a poorly drained soil, depending on the next rain’s nature and timing. A very intense rain may not produce much infiltration in either case.

Love the Bloomberg reference. "You dig a hole, you put a tractor in, you put dirt on top, you add water, up comes corn."
Hopefully Bloomberg won't float though.
@@gungadinn His term as mayor is wrapping up. Maybe he'll have time now to come out to MN to offer his expertise.
Bloomberg thinks that food grows magically. All this dirt should scare him.
Dig a hole, plant a Bloomberg and consider it fertilizer??
He’s got more bullshit than a PBR work championship
I didn't know that Jim works on more than one farm.
YYYYOOOO I'm dead. Good one.
He been on vacation
🤣🤣
That was a good one 😂😂
@@langelfarms1104 yep
I called Bloomberg for you. He said that if you would pave that field then you wouldn't have a mud problem and then the combine wouldn't get stuck...genius
That sounds about right!😂😂
Every working word in the book was used during this recovery. And new ones made im sure.
"Michael Bloomberg.."; brilliantly ironic sarcasm, even for a grand master such as you!!!!
I've got to admit, building the ripper right into the quad track is a pretty neat tillage solution by Case.
Get a woven Coir/ sisal rope doormat in the bed of the defender. Hose off after use.
He has a great personality, I enjoy his videos
Thanks Zack, great video. The drain tile and control structure installation reminded me of my Master's research project 40 years ago in eastern N.C. We were looking at losses of N and P from surface and subsurface agricultural drainage systems. We referred to the control structures as "flash board risers". And just as you explained, we added or removed flash boards to control the depth to the water table in the field.
The character who plays Randy is such a good actor! Defo my fave character in the series
wow. I feel like Jim needs to step up his game when comes to getting the tractor stuck!! 😂😂😂
I know right Jim gettting stuck is nothing compared to getting the quadtrack stuck 😂😂
I guess that they hired Jim 😂
He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights
I was stressed just watching that extraction. Amazed at the amount of ground water flowing through that control. Good coverage Zach.
When the header started dragging mud, worried for farmer. Heck of a clean up job ahead
Sure was when I dumped my 99 ranger in a drainage mud pit. I wanted to get the tires dirty, road dicintigrated and thought it was going to roll over, had to climb out the passenger window. Steering wheel in the water. Good thing the air box is on the passenger side, the whole left side mirror fully in. 🤦♂️
Laugh about it now but freaking out then. Had to take my pants off to get wet and find the tow hook. Heck of mess, I'm just glad I didn't break a boot.
If my math is right he said it drains a section. An inch of rain on a section is about 17 million gallons. Those clouds hold alot of water. How do they float?
Somewhere hereabouts there's a WWII-era training video on getting tanks unstuck from mud. As I recall, the trick is to take a good-sized tree trunk and tie it to the tracks. Then, as the tank tries to move the tracks, the tree trunk sticks in the mud, spreads the weight out, and stays in place, letting the tank move.
The tracks on a tank are wide open. Fenders and other close parts on the tractor prevent the method you mentioned.
Tank tracks are made of extremely strong steel while tractor tracks are mostly a rubber composit and would be damaged by this method
Randy is one heck of an operator!
He is very inspiring, I admire his passion
20:30 so would I be correct in assuming the proper depth is "Balls deep" when laying pipe?
Perhaps 🤣
🤣
I have some fishing weights, they are called BALLS DEEP🤣
🤣🤣
This comment needs to be pinned! 😂
LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND. THANKS FOR CARING FOR OTHERS, IT WILL ALWAYS COME BACK TO YOU, ZACH. NOT MANY PEOPLE LEFTLIKE YOU.
GOBBLES BORTHER
See anyone YELLING here?
Lots of work to get that equipment out of the soft ground. I burried FMC-979 Fieldmaster in Belle Plain one day. It was a real show getting it out. local farmer brought in the biggest articulated I'd ever seen, hooked up and proceeded to burry it to the fenders, then climbed up on the piles he made, tightened the chains and drove back into the holes. it was amazing, my harvester slid right out.
I’m amazed at the amount of water that’s moving into the drains. Wow
"Did they try just backing out?" Ohhhh that got me
They have to pu it out
@@ayuniieeshizumi...7479 what the heck going on
Looks like that farmer may be Randy's next customer!! Good grief that's wet under that bine
Holy cow. It looks like the quadtrac could have actually been buried. Never seen anything that buried. Thanks for posting it.
AWESOME video Zach.....thought of you today while I was helping my uncle apply anhydrous. Great conditions here...was sealing really good. Thanks again for the awesome video.
The whole time I was waiting for someone pulling out a yellow yankum rope while saying we'll get em out
The banana would’ve pulled it out.
Good to see Randy the Master pipe layer in action 👍
A moist sticky situation. Yup, the master pipe layer is totally in his element here.
That’s weeping tile, excellent show!
Man, someone’s 17 year old is going to be pissed when he wakes up and they tell him he’s gotta wash the machines…
if it was my luck id have just washed and waxed them yesterday
I wouldn’t 😂
It’s always interesting to see that much iron in one field
Unfortunately for the farmer two of them were dozers and excavators.
I am always amazed at the resilience and attitude of the American farmers even in a challenging situation.
He has a great personality, I enjoy his videos
Coming from a farming family, I am getting a huge kick out of this video . Farmers and ranchers are the best .
I thought I had mud, THIS is mud. Just damn.
Almost 40 years ago, I led a platoon of four tanks across a 4 foot concrete culvert 6-8 feet of dirt and gravel above. As the last tank was crossing the land beneath his right track fell away and there was nothing but air beneath four of the seven road wheels. The tank was listing to starboard and looked like it might flip over. My company commander was there in minutes, soon the battalion commander and then the brigade commander arrived by helicopter. For a long time, they discussed holding the tank level with a chinook helicopter while winching it forward. Finally, the company commander, a previous Battalion Maintenance Officer, said, “Let’s just winch it out the way it went in, that’s always the rule.” In minutes the tank was free. I never forgot the lesson. By the way, in those days we never downloaded our main gun ammunition.
They seriously looked at hooking the chinook? Ok 40 years ago? So it’s lift is @30k lbs? M1 is @55 TONS? Maybe still a Patton? It’s @ 48 tons? So if it fell. It could take copter with it. (It sounds like over 10’ to fall? Then roll?
I hope the pilot told the Brigade Commander.
BTW never click on porn adds. Report them. If they fail to get business. They will quit spamming. If you want porn. I am sure you can find it.
@JESSICA Readers- don't forget to report "JESSICA", "XANGEL" and any other bots out there so U-tube can clear them out.
@@wssides we have been fighting for this Spam Bot for weeks, over 1,000 has been reported. "U-tube" doesn't do anything or Bot keep changing IP addresses and still continue spamming! (Hint: it's UA-cam, not U-tube)
@Howard I had to look it up. 114,000 lbs. 36,000 lbs payload…. It could help of course. Danger would be much less. Pulling a stuck item you increase force till you decide to stop, something breaks, limits out.
But you hook onto something half unsupported, that could drop @10’, then roll that’s @3 times your max payload? I have only been up in one copter. “Parts flying in close formations, looking for chance to break, 2 hours maintenance per hour of flight”. We’re some comments I recall.
It never came to that. It was an M60A3. We were in Germany and a Chinook could get there faster with lift than anything else. The thought was just to hold the tank level while pulling forward with a tank recovery vehicle. I don't think anybody truly wanted to try that but it always rains in Germany and it was time to do something. .

What I love about farmers is even tho they are competitors they are always there for each other!!!
You got that right!!!
Zach, this is one of the BEST! I've gotten tractors stuck in the field (Nebraska), way back in the 1960's. Great of you to help your neighbors!
I live in north central Kansas about am hr south of Beatrice and in the late 80s early 90s I split an Allis Chalmers 7050 in half discing our bottom ground hit a wet spot stopped didn't want to get dad and listen to him yell so I raised the disc and tried backing out got about 5 ft pulled ahead locked the differential threw it in reverse dumped the clutch and threw the throttle wide open and the transmission case blew apart dad unhooked the disc pulled it out of the way pulled the sheetmetal off the tractor pulled the rear end and cab out to the edge of the field then the nose and engine and the shop winched them on the lowboy and I wished I had taken the yelling for not paying attention and getting stuck that was an expensive mistake
@@davidwoermansr , thanks for reply. What a story. One of times I got stuck was a 4020 John Deere. I drove it down in a low spot where the Center Pivot water was pooled up. I was so embarrassed. My boss was rightfully angry. We got it out with less calamity than your story, though. This was south of Ogallala Nebraska.
@@lennissytsma5503 I've run derbys and dirt track in that neck of the woods a few times before my accident that had me in a wheelchair for over a year and back hobbling around farming with my kids I lost track how many surgeries I've had but have a few more coming up soon airport security and people in line behind me get a little worked up when I step in the scanner and have to explain what is in my body and show scars to prove some has been there 20 years
Nice clean water coming out of the tiles
The joys of farming. We never had that size of equipment, but I remember many days like that...
Thanks for another great video. This video was absolutely one of the best I have seen. Appreciate your work Zach filming all of this.
The equipment that was stuck was really stressful just watching it let along owning the equipment. Wow. That is the worse I have seen equipment stuck in the mud. No bottom to it. Good for people to see that do not farm to see what a farmer goes thru trying to harvest. We have been stuck before but nothing anyway close to this. Wow. The combine came out easier that the tractor. Just unbelievable to see this. Heartfelt thanks Zach for showing this to us. My heart goes out to the farmer that had that equipment stuck. Hard to take.
Now to Randy’s equipment. I find his operation really interesting. The big piece he operates is quite the machine. Wow. Really interesting how they lay that pipe and the crew that follows Randy’s big piece. They all know what to do and how it all fits to. My compliments to Randy and his crew of people. Thanks Zach for filming his operation. Found it most interesting.
The stuck equipment and Randy’s operation made for a absolutely great video. Thanks for all of your work. The Polaris machine you are using seems to be a handy unit.
About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. Great video Zach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Zack, I just found this video that was posted one year ago. I am so glad you showed us the segment on pulling equipment out of the mud and then explaining the installation of field tile. I also loved you showing us the post. Now I know what a post looks like. ha ha
No offense Zach, love seeing Randy The Master Pipe Layer. Thank you very much!
Always enjoy when you go out with Randy on these jobs. Thanks.
Growing up on a farm in a desert area, when I heard “laying pipe”, I assumed it was irrigation pipe. It never crossed my mind that some areas needed help with drainage.
Around here in Switzerland its a common thing now for gardens especialy built over a underground fundament or garage etc. to allow the water to go somewhere in case of heavy rains including some big grooves where the water will collect to be able to slowly sink in tha groudn water again later in case the ground gets satrated.
i lay a fat pipe each and ever morn:D
It's a shame there isn't way to get the water from where they have too much to where they don't have enough.
laying pipe just means banging moms

Spending a year in the german army working on the old heavy trucks i fell in love with everything disel powerd and wheels the hight of a small car. the idea of working with these vehicles is slowly growing on me.
He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights
His passion is very inspiring, I admire him
I just want to thank you for all you do!!!
Your hard work, dedication, and support for your fellow farmers give me hope in such crazy times... Sending blessings as Elijah's mom and my kidlets 🖤💚💛
He is very creative, I like his style
He is very inspiring, I admire his passion
that bloomberg theory was my first thouhgt! Plant it and it grows. I was thinking a long plank of wood or rig mats, but theose ties helped. Glad they got it out. That was a lot of water!
Thanks for all the Q & A's, didn't understand half of it but the fact that you both tried to inform us is so cool. This was a great opportunity for a video Thanks to all.🤗👏👏
Minnesota mornings hit different
The Bloomberg comment, now that was precious!
This is the kind of stuff that used to give my dad nightmares on the farm. Should be harvesting instead mudding around
The last time I saw a quad that bogged we had to lift it out .... just couldn't stop it submarining with half the rail sleepers going g down too. Did a bunch of damage to the running and steering gear as well 😒 Glad you got them out OK....Great vid too!!
That quadtrac is a beast!!! I can’t believe how bad that ground is there! Hopefully they can get the rest of the corn picked!
He has a great personality, I enjoy his videos
His passion is very inspiring, I admire him
Amazing on how that works laying pipe. Those machines were stuck. Glad you were able to help get them out. I love the idea to dig a big hole and put the big red tractor in the ground. Good place. 😍😍😍
We used to call ground like that "Too thick to drink, too thin to farm!"
I like all of Randy's heavy equipment him putting in that title work looks so cool and neat how it all works together
farming definitly has many interesting facets.. not a farmer myself, but I like big toys, and seeing where my food, and my foods food comes from..
"You can tell it's a post by the way it is..." Always love the one-liners.
After fighting with your strip tiller / deep bander I think you had a good day watching these guys😂
"I will say watching someone unearth a Quad Trac and combine makes me feel better about my step tiller and anhydrous project"- The Actor who plays Zack Johnson The Millennial Farmer.
I’m glad they got all of that equipment out, what a stress it must have been! Any chance of a follow up video on the clearing up of the field they were stuck in? I do like the idea of the water flow regulator

His passion is very inspiring, I admire him
Hurts just to watch! Thanks for the laughs afterwards with that depth measuring set up!
Modern farming practices at its finest!
Zach it’s randy I already know this video is going to be great!!! Ur the best!!
Hey! Those peanuts ain't gonna pick theselves!
Holy sh.. That was some recovery 😬 great to see good people doing good work 👍
In all you video's I see the 3 liftmaster remotes on the visor and you can easily simplify that. If the truck has a built in homelink transmitter you can program each button to replace one remote if you are using each remote to operate a single opener. As long as each remote is only being used for one gate or one door you can consolidate those remotes into one remote. Each liftmaster remote can operate 3 separate doors.
“Consult with Bloomberg” 🤣 lol that killed me
Always enjoy a day with the tiling crew. Cool videos. Someone is going to need a fire hose bath!
Hey, at least now all they need is some tiles, trench already started
Outstanding video!!! Never saw this on scale that large. Keep up the good work.
Looks like a good place to build a watering pond for drought season
His insights are very appreciated, he is very knowledgeable
Here in Australia we have what we call swamp mats they are a whole lot of logs tied or strapped together, a little wider than a excavator, we use them in wet or swampy condition's and helps keeping machines afloat and used for rescuing bogged / stuck machines like these one, I guess you have something like that over there. A pity you didn't have some on hand for this lot.
Yeah we have them also. More used by power companies servicing and running lines in swamps around me.
Zack,
I really enjoy your videos and your commitment to educating the public of food safety and the good life of living on the farm. I’m a fourth generation farmer and a retired State Executive Director with the Farm Service Agency /USDA and I have the greatest respect for your messaging. I always said, a farmer has so many challenges from worrying about securing financing for land acquisitions (ownership or leasing), raising cost of seed and fertilizer as well as equipment cost, then if you get a crop planted, will the good Lord provide favorable growing conditions to make a crop, and if a crop is made will there be a strong market to be able to meet your financial obligations.
I wish you a belated Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2022 farming year. God bless you and your family and “keep it between the rows”.
Tim
I really enjoyed this video! I have never really seen how they put the tile in the ground up close. Thanks for sharing!!!
I grew up on a ranch in SE Colorado, where the earth is packed mostly sandy clay (high desert) and it was easy to get machinery around…UNTIL…that 1/2 inch rain would fall and turn those dirt roads into greasy mess where vehicles would slide off into ditch and some would be stuck for several days…amazing what a little moisture can do. Cheers dudes. Nice work.
Wow that was a lot of water flow, amazing how that tile does.
He is very creative, I like his style
Yep, Bloomberg is the genius, just put the seed in the ground and let it grow. How hard is that. LOL
I bought a Ranger midsize last March. It amazes me how useful it is.
Great video Zach. Great lesson on tiling. That stuck quad trac reminds of idea that the more technology keeps equipment from getting stuck, the more it takes to get equipment unstuck.
I was wondering do those things have anything like a car or pickup traction control system where it starts cutting power to the engine when they start spinning
@@davidwoermansr John Deere does and I'd guess others do too. ua-cam.com/video/WShKwr-9-ic/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JohnDeereUKIE
Ya just gotta say, “Thank God it’s not me”. Damn they sunk that Quad and combine. I remember one old farmer back in the late 70s sunk his tractor and just walked away after a D6 Cat couldn’t get it out. Came back after it dried off some and dug it out with a backhoe, about a month later.
Sometimes that is the best way
Laying pipe, pulling out... Congrats on the double entendre. 😁👍✌❤
Millennial Farmer I am also a resident of MN and I discovered your channel on a news article and I think that’s great. I am very interested in farming in spite of not living on a farm myself, I have always had relatives who did growing up. Winters so harsh where we live and it’s coming.
I am a new subscriber.
😆”If you look closely, you’ll notice that this here is a post - you can tell that it’s a post ‘cause of the way it is.”🤣
You nut, GO WARM UP!!! - and, thanks for sharing!
😂👍🙏🏻🇺🇸💪🌽
AND that's why we follow him - one hell of a whacky sense of humour.
40 years in the heavy duty recovery business ..... number 1 rule, do not spin the tires/tread on the stuck unit being winched out, just maintain rotation with ground movement, or you will be there all day as the unit digs down rather than climbs out. Randy stated as much after the fact ...too bad he did not school the drivers in the stuck units.
Nothing like a winch and 2 part line folks……👌👌👌😯
This is the glamour of farming that people don't understand !!!
The “depth” gauge is awesome! 😂
Yep it’s the deep
I know that farmers run into wet spots in the field and get stuck from time to time. I’ve had my share of getting stuck. But I’ve never buried a piece of equipment that bad. When you’re stuck you’re stuck, don’t make it worse. My father taught me to stop spinning the tires and burying the equipment early on.
WCCO Saw your story on local WCCO news report yesterday and was a nice piece. Nice they included a pic of your whole family. Looks like you are a local baby star! :)
Very good video! I couldn't turn it off! Seriously!
Love the video your soils are extremely interesting.
I can't believe the mud! What a mess. I didn't know about the higher ph in that water yall been drinking. I ordered some. I too have heart burn/ indigestion. I can't wait to try this out. Thanks Zach!
He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights
Awesome subtle humor, makes for a good chuckle
so grateful to the people who made these amazing machines
I respect his work, he always delivers quality content
Great video….. Hopefully the owners headache and BP went back to normal after everything was washed and checked over.. y’all stay safe…
Does Randy ever get riled up? He appears to be so easy going…
He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights
Very interesting. Loved the recovery but really enjoyed laying the tile.
Love the Bloomberg comment!!!
Just one more shot to your redhood neighbor... he really should consider going no till, lol.
I'm sure he appreciates all the good help you gave him...he couldn't have done it without you, great video.
In the military when you do this to your tank you cut down logs or branches about 3-5 inches in diameter and about 4 feet in length and put them under the track as its moving one after the other about every foot and this spreads out the traction and ground pressure and helps elevate the track.
When you were in the service did you tell the commander-in-chief to f-off???
Go ahead and support the draft-dodging lying traitor Trump,,,if you like losers that is.
F-Trump the draft dodging lying traitor!!!!
Yep my dad said my grandpa got our d6c absolutely SUNK in the bush and that’s how they got it out. Dad said it was so miserable to do hes been scared ever since to take it in a questionable spot lol
TDS is real. Let’s go Brandon
@@larrythompson8630 LOL..nice to know I can trigger a Liberal without trying.
Great vid-- question-- does anybody know if the dozer has more flotation than the case quad? I appears so but i may not be comparing apples to apples when you consider weight etc. thxs
Beautiful soil structure for a conventional monoculture farm
Wow, when you get machinery stuck on your farms you do it properly!
Pressure washing vid for the quadtrac when?
Great videos Zach , your video shows the every day problems & good days of farming life, man those machines were really bogged, I though it was wonderful how every one helped to get all the gear out, that drainage system is fantastic, thank you for this great video, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.Biloela Central Qld Australia.

Thanks foi the words about the Norther Water. Going to try some.
“ You can tell it’s a post because of the way it is” you and Rodney would get along good. 😀
What a muddy mess…. Love the drainage rig. It’s amazing how it works. Bought 2 cases of the water to have my daughter try and see if she notices any difference like you have. Thanks for the discount code
