Sir,,, thanks for the response back , I know your a busy pilot/farmer, I farm about 180 acres of mix grass put them into small bales,, all my equipment is old school ih farmall
Brain recommended your channel, glad I stopped by! Farmin and flyin, great combo. The ole 135 is getting long in the tooth for sure. But she’s still goin! I see them at different bases all of the time. Contractor based out of the 45th space wing, but I travel all over. My favorite, just because it’s busy is The Rock. I’m a Texas boy, my family grows cotton, peanuts and alfalfa. We have cow calf and run yearlings on wheat on the gain.
I've spent some time in Texas. Went to navigator training in San Antonio, then later pilot training at "Del Rio By the Sea." Great state and even greater people!
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 good ole Laughlin. That is an interesting base to work at. And lake Amistad. San Antonio, I just came back from there and the north side of Randolph. I love the river walk at Christmas time. But your neck of the woods has the coolest AFB. Wright-Pat.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I heard about you on Brian Farm videos he said that you live down there by him. I live up north by Bowling Green Ohio and grew up on a farm and I miss it every day,,, Be safe and god bless you and your family..
Don't you ever worry about the title of video, there are many UA-cam posters that put clickbait on their titles. I love your farming, flying and cattle content! Keep it up "Merica"!
Never apologize for being honest Sir you have a very good channel and don’t quit. As the word gets out your channel will grow and your content is pure America. Thank you for holding up American values.
I miss those houses with the big porches…. I am from Dayton. My dads sister had a farm in the area close to your farm. I remember going there at summer time. We ate the best lima beans, corn and tomatoes I have ever tasted…Moved to the Pacific Northwest a few years ago when Dad retired from the Ohio State Patrol. Really enjoy your videos..kinda like being back home in Ohio…from one service member to another..thank you for your service. New subscriber.
You are to kind Rod. It is your life and channel. Say what you want. If people do not understand that you do not do thing like I do. And I do not do things like you do. As long as it works and is not illegal. Then it is all good in my book.
Great hearing about your flying career. Keep it up. I was an aircrew plane captain in the navy. We flew COD C2A planes hauling jet engines and other types of cargo to the carriers off the coast of Vietnam in late 60s. Hope you have a good harvest I am an old farm boy harvesting for 65 years. This is my first harvest I've not participated in in 51 years.
Joe, I was an A-6 Intruder plane captain in VA-42, NAS Oceana, Va. Beach,Va. from 1973 to Aug. 15, 1975. I got the opportunity to get cat shot off an aircraft carrier in a C-1 Trader (COD) after our squadron finished a carrier qual. That was a real thrill. I was also flown off carriers in a CH-46 and a Huey after carrier quals. Took a ride in a TC-4C down inside the Great Cannon too. All great experiences. I was at San Diego for boot camp starting on Oct. 18, 1971. We also went on detachments to NAAS Fallon, Nv. & The Marine air base at Yuma, Az. for pilot bombing training too. GO US Navy !
I drove truck with Abbott Labs so I'd be hauling ensure from Columbus down Alta Vista Virginia and I remember driving through your neighborhood quite a few times. I would run 35 there into West by God Virginia down to Huracan and then head on over to Charleston and South
Love the farming and flying videos so in my opinion just keep doing what you're doing brother. Whatever you're willing to take the time to share is fine with me. As always thank you for your service and blessings to you and your family.
I spent my late 1960's and early 70's in Ohio and am a OSU alumni living in South Carolina. During those years I use to spend time rabbit and pheasant hunting in and around the Chillicothe area. This is curiosity question only! Is your farm(s) close to Chillicothe,as I know that area use to be a great farming and hunting area.
Thanks to Brian Brown I also found your channel, looking forward to this mixture, I think you have a lot of possibility of a good UA-cam experience. When I was a kid all I wanted to do was be a pilot but unfortunately astigmatism prevented that. I instead had a career in running heavy equipment and had a very satisfying career. Good luck.
Thanks Gary! Yeah, the military can be pretty picky when it comes to physical qualifications for pilots. Weird thing is, once you get in and they spend the money training you, there are very few things that are disqualifying.
New to the channel here. Came over from Brian’s farming videos. I’m from just north of the Chillicothe area now in Mount Sterling. Love watching the local farmers at work. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see more videos from you. Most importantly thank you for your service!!!
Hi my friend, now I also understand what you meant by your piece of land what you call island, after this video of you I watched the last one from Bryan Brown... He happened to drive just behind your land where you are working with your Case combine and then Bryan mentioned your UA-cam channel and your name and said you were neighbors... Since the Brown family also has a lot of flooding, does this have to do with each other, with your island and with their land... Greetings Michiel Lok Hollandscheveld Drenthe The Netherlands
Is you and your brothers boys going to continue farming and going to school for something in the agricultural field? I agree with you that these days farming beef cattle is a little more work than dairy. They both have their hard parts but beef is a lot less maintenance than dairy.
Great video the best equipment is equipment that’s paid for as long as it gets the job done I like the grain and cattle videos thanks for your service see you next time
I started out as a navigator on C-130s. Did that for a year, then went to pilot training. We used the T-6 and T-1 as trainers, then been flying the KC-135 ever since.
I’m dating myself but I was in when those planes were relatively new. I read somewhere new tankers were in the works? Also, I watch a lot of farming videos and a good portion also raise cattle. It does look like a lot of work.
Yes, there is a new tanker coming into service. It's called a KC-46 Pegasus. Biggest difference is that instead having a boom operator in the back, the boom operator now sits up front behind the pilots and relies on cameras to conduct the refueling operations.
Interesting video. I grew up farming on both sides of the Scioto near White Sulfur, north of Columbus. I've been farming for 40 years in central Indiana. How far south are you? That river has quite a few islands along the way though I never heard of one as big as 47 acres. Thank you for your service. Best regards from Indiana.

They are done! Lambs were sold at the county fair back in August.
They're probably lamb chops on someone's dinner plate by now!
heck. its got a beach and it gets hot and humid. counts for me. toss a few fake palms on the beach and you're set !

Hey Mark! Our farm is just east of Chillicothe by about two miles.
We don't see too many pheasants anymore. I think the hawks wipes them out!

Is the pasture and hay ground low or only good for hay.
Most of our pasture is hilly terrain.
There are patches where we could possibly raise row crops, but most of it is just too hilly for equipment.
Crybaby tunnel always went there this time of year when I was in high school.
Ha! Is your name on there somewhere? Everyone else's is!
If you could have gotten a plane ride in this video you could have called it flying corn lol. Thank you for doing what you do. Carl

Have you had the opportunity to fly other aircraft during your career? I know caring for any livestock during the winter is horrible.
