- Опубліковано 6 тра 2021
- Corn planting continues and we're making a lot of progress now that we got the bugs worked out of the new John Deere Exact Emerge conversion on our 1770NT. The 9560RT wasn't as bad as we we're thinking yesterday, and we planted our field of F2F conventional seed from Farmers Business Network.

My father and I farmed together for more than 30 yrs. He’s gone now and I’m retired. Watching you interact with your father sure reminds me of my father and I working together for all those years. Cherish this time with him as life goes by so fast! Keep up the great work with your channel. Cheers from “The Great White North”.
You're lucky having Nate as a father. I love how he talks to you with respect and listens to your input. My dad just acts like I'm dumb for not being able to read his mind.
Crazy how that stuff passes down too. Zack is such a good father to Oynx because of it. The skills he lets them develop through good and patient instruction is pretty incredible to see.
Nate is a good man.
Same, and my dad's an idiot
My dad was running a locomotive in the 80s and encountered a train coming at him as he rounded a bend. He dumped the air, got out of the chair, went out the door and jumped right off the side still doing 35mph. Locomotive coming at him ended up crushing the front end of his and stopping almost perfectly on top.
Zach your dad is one of the most down to earth person around. You guys work so well together.
I was literally just telling my girlfriend how nice of a man he is, and how lucky Zach is to have him as a dad, hes done a very very good job at raising Zach and whats hes built over the years, i sure hope he reads these so he can have a smile on his face and realize what hes accomplished
Second that I love seeing him in videos
I was just thinking that. Seems like such a genuine guy.
I agree 100%! Just a genuine nice man.
While true you should of seen him when the actor who plays the millennial farmer couldn’t get the pot ash and nitrogen to mix correctly and he tools days to try and figure it out
Hey millennial farmer, I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work keeping this lockdown stuff from driving me mad. You, the welkers, the cornstars, and the Larson family are some of my favorite channels

Zach, here is my crazy experience which I have never shared. When I was a young boy, I walked from sandbar to sandbar in Lake Simcoe. I went a little too far and there was no sandbar to be found to stand on and I was alone. In a panic, I forgot that I could swim and started to take on water. I am sure I would have drowned but something pushed me back to shallower water and everything turned out OK. To this day upon reflection, I am certain that it was the hand of God that saved me.

When i was 9 yrs old, my family was going to the grocery store one evening with my newborn sister during a thunderstorm. We stopped at a intersection and as we waited to go i we saw 2 thin clouds dropped down from the storm and in a flash a full blown twister started tearing out trees and roofs. It was only bout 1/4 mile away from us at most. My dad and i got out of the car to watch, my mom flipped the frick out. Lol. When we got back home from the store we saw that the twister passed between our house and our neighbors and only took out the 80ft pole pine trees and their fence. Il never forget that. It was Awesome!!
When I was in junior high, I road the bus since I lived in the country. We would meet the Amtrak almost every morning. One winter morning the bus driver slammed on the brakes as we came to the train tracks. The bus started sliding it turned sideways. By the time the bus stopped the drivers side was within 2 feet of the amtrak as it sped by brakes locked up. I was on the driver's side in the back row closest to the train. I remember being able to see the conductor and engineer as they went by, barely missing us.
John deere owners always so positive. Its got hydraulic oil in the engine oil it's not so bad.
Am I the only one that gets super excited when a new video drops?
I do to
I do too
Same
No you're not. Lol.
literally refresh youtube on repeat until it pops
My Cousin was moving a combine, his nephew was following in a truck. Probably 25 years ago. The engine on the combine was to the right of the driver. He was crossing a train track(no lights/or barricades). The train coming from the right hit the right rear of the combine. The nephew said as each train car went by the combine was facing a different way as it spun from the impact. When the train had gone past, the nephew jumped out of the combine and said “did you see that”? Un-injured and extremely lucky.
I once saw a train hit a conversion van with 5 people inside. The train pushed that van 1 mile down the track before it could stop. The side of the van that got hit was pushed completely to the other side of the van and unfortunately everyone died on impact. I don’t mess around at train tracks when the signal is down, the van tried to go around blockades that come down when the signal is on. It’s an image that’ll never leave my mind.
My dad was a trooper for years. He responded to a car/train crash where the kid in the back seat was only about 6, the same age as me at the time. He never had really gone to the stress debriefs before for incidents but he said he showed up to that one
Had a ambulance break down while having a heart attack, that was a strange day
It’s so good to see your dad looking bright and happy you can really tell he is in less pain than this time last year
Your Dad is such a cool guy.
14 April 2019 our last trip back to Ireland before the birth of our daughter Margaret was born in the air on Aer Lingus Flight 2175 enroute to Dublin, Ireland from San Francisco. It was a nonstop flight. Margaret was born 6 weeks early. We were 2 hours outside of Dublin, Ireland . When landed emergency services were at the gate. Took mw wife Bridget and Margaret to hospital. Stayed behind for the luggage and to collect our car hire.Wife and Margaret remained in hospital for 7 days. What was going to be a 2 week holiday was extended into a six week holiday.
Would love to hear more from your dad and the early days, I really enjoyed the videos that you interviewed him before 👍👍
Thanks for the entertainment as always! As one of your loyal non-farmer viewers, I’d love to see a video sometime talking about all the variables when it comes to seed. What “XX day maturity” really means, what hybrid means, the differences in GMO and non-GMO and when all of these things are desirable or not, how you make decisions on which ones to use, etc.
Check your local/state co-operative extension ag pages. Read through any topics of interest & see 'what' links to a topic of interest. "Its all about the data" Which seed variety of hybrid corn/soybeans grows fast enough in zone 3a or3b to mature & provide yields 'worth' the inputs needed to grow to harvest? Barring bad weather or drought. ROI is one point Zach has really nailed for me by observing the investment in equipment & land improvements & harvest storage & transport. Tractors, trucks & grain bins & 1000s of acres of crops. Its a juggling act & God works the unknowns. Remember the year the damn squirrels ate all the better boys but, left the cherries alone? Scale it up but, now its high stakes poker & the pots sometimes only allow you to get enough to 'try' next season. Testing different seed varieties 'hedges your bet' if you can sell enough harvest to make back + profit on what you spent to get it too market.
The Johnsons work hard as hell & have been doing it for a long time so like the quote earlier "doing things daily". simplistic overview but, think I hit the highpoints {another non-farmer}
Hi ! My train story ! We were going to a wedding in the country . Just as we were driving over the train tracks the car stalled!! Yes ! A train was comming ! We got out in our dress clothes and pushed the car off the tracks just in time ! The train was blasting his horn and shaking his fist as he went by! I am sure he was just as scared as we were ! We all had drinks as soon as we got to the wedding to settle our nerves ! I still love trains ! Deborah. Winnipeg, Canada
As a summer farm kid, I got to drive my uncle's old pickup that he had rolled over in a bar ditch.
So folks on the road saw a kid driving a truck that the frame rails pointed straight down the road, but the body pointed into traffic...
I was a firefighter for 30 years. In my time, I've met people I'll never forget, learned things I won't forget and seen things I can't forget. Stay safe sir. Much love and respect from Gurley, Alabama.
Same here, I'm going on 36 years as a firefighter from age 14 to present. Best job in the world besides farming/ ranching.
I was hauling corn to WI and on my way back to SE MN I drove thru a tornado. LOst the tarp off the trailer and tossed me around but made it back. I could not see it, because it was rain wrapped.
Great video. Glad the tractor didn’t have head gasket problem
Good man with the Blue Diamond Almonds, appreciate the support 👊
There is something so satisfying about how you check the oil every time you start a tractor lol
The noise
I thought all farmers do that, I do.
Check oil, fill fuel and grease
Good for warranty references as well
I do that with everything I don’t use daily
My fun fact story is as such : It was late '90's and I was working for a custom green bean (snap beans) harvesting company. We used PIXALL BIG JACK harvesters, powered by deere diesels. We were on the Eastern Shore of Virginia driving on US Hwy 13 along side railroad track. There was a train going on the tracks and we passed it going the same direction. Mind you the harvesters top speed was 15mph. Not often you pass a moving train out on open tracks.
Zack i have ben watching your videos for about a year just wanted to say thank you and to all the farmer's.. Stay Safe & GOD Bless form Monroe Georgia..
I was in a car that was hit by a train and pushed 2 miles down the tracks. The coupler went through the passenger door so the car was hook onto the train and skidded on the tires down the tracks until the train could get stopped. That was the second accident the Engineer had had with a car that day. The year was 1974 and I was 4 years old, I suffered a broken collarbone as well did my mother. We were both very lucky that day.
A farming video that’s actually about farming.
One time we were coming down the mountains in north carolina and we got behind an oil tanker truck that could not stop i did not realize it until grandpa looked at me and told me he couldnt stop when he hit the runaway truck ramp the truck and trailer jacknifed on the ramp and totaled the truck and spilled oil everywhere thats something that i will never forget
Crazy lucky story. I was once following my dad with the tractor and wagons behind the combine as we were opening up a new corn field. Just as I was about 30 yards behind him, I saw a fire on the ground (burning husks). I called him and he shut down the combine and put the fire out with the fire extinguisher. We both looked at each other and counted our blessings. With the wind that day, the entire field and probably the neighbors would have been gone before the fire department could respond.
I would really enjoy having your dad on the Off the Husk and talk about marketing
I second this nomination!!!!
I too would like that. I am a new younger farmer and would appreciate advice
There’s one with him but not about marketing
Love the spring vids! I am a farmer myself and it feels good to get into the fields!!
In my teens I had the job of pulling a small sprayer behind the ATV into the pastures to spray the weeds. One summer day about 11 in the morning I parked above one bank of a ravine to spray. I didn't park quite well enough and the 4-wheeler rolled back, jackknifed the sprayer trailer hitch, broke free from the trailer and rolled to the bottom of the slope 20' below, missing me by about a foot. In that time before cellphones it was fun broadcasting my predicament to everyone on our business-band 2-way radio frequency.
Well it's very hard in North Carolina 89 degrees I think we're going to have some thunderstorms it's kind of dry here I haven't no rain lately so you're doing a good job keep up the good one God bless you👍👍👍✌🙏🙏
Craziest story I have is I sneak on to this farm in Minnesota and drain all their batteries so they are dead when they try to start stuff.
you probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last few weeks xD
@Jack Brian Yup, been using Instaflixxer for since december myself =)
Strange story? When I was around seven years old I found a fingertip in the street. Seems the local postmaster was clearing a plugged snowblower with his hand. I was crossing the street with my older brother on a paper route when I thought I saw a small stone in the snow packed street. Thinking it was a sign of spring, I picked it up. Surprise! It was soft and there was a fingernail on the other side! I showed my brother and threw it back down. Turns out I should have taken it to the doctor's office across the street as the postmaster was in there getting patched up. The Dr. said later that there would have been a chance to reattach the tip since it had been lying in the snow and was very soon after the accident. I still remember thinking a stone should not be soft. That was fifty years ago in South Dakota.
I was approaching an intersection one time - the light ahead just turned green, the car waiting at the light pulled out, and was nailed by a car coming from the left probably doing 50 mph - clearly going through the light well after it had turned red. The car ahead of me got hit in the front left fender, did a perfect 360, and was sitting exactly where it started out. The car that hit it did a 180 in midair, flew into the ditch, took out maybe a 6" tree, and landed pretty darned hard. People ran up to the car in the ditch yelling "are you okay?" and the guy inside was shaking his head no.
That's my great crash experience :)
Wow. Amazing tech.
That red semi brought back some good memories of being on a custom harvest crew 20 years ago....
Maybe that will happen again.....
In elementary school(maybe 5th grade?) my principal every month would choose 4-5 students who had good grades, AR points, good improvements etc to go have lunch in town. I was chosen one month and we decided we wanted to go to Taco Bell. As we are sitting in the corner of this Taco Bell my principal in a panic threw out his arms as to protect us and pull us away and told us to get out of the seat. As I’m quickly getting out of the booth I look out the window to see a minivan slam right into the corner of the building and into the booth we were just sitting at. Everyone was safe and the guy driving was just a little dinged up but safe to say I try to stay clear from edges or corners of restaurants that face the parking lot.
My dad said to me he was in the hospital for his 11 birthday Bc he got hit in the train and he here today thank god
Train story from about 45 yrs ago. I was supposed to be going on a blind date come the weekend but it got cancelled because my upcoming date was killed at a RR crossing. The county/RR track owners had been asked prior to her accident to improve the grading and add crossing lights and arms. They said they don’t add lighting until someone is killed there…things changed quickly after that, new crossing grading, lighting, and stop arms were added. The worrying part was several school busses crossed that unimproved crossing at least 6 times a day.
Zack, I once caught a red fox in the snapping roll on our corn head by the neck..when We reversed the head and got him out, his rabbit was laying next to him. Keep up he good work.
Keep up the great Work Zach, your dad and Jim. You've become family viewing in this UK household
Always a good day when you release new videos! Thanks for what you do!
Greetings from New Zealand, wonderful corn planter vlog , thanks for sharing have a great weekend
I never seen anything with a train but my dad did one time in a small town in Tenn. The town was on the other side of train tracks from the main road. Train speeds where 60+ so you did want to get caught on the tracks. A car drive was going through the light stop and backed up getting my dad stuck on the tracks. Dad started hearing a train horn so he had seconds to clear the tracks. Dad said he was getting ready to ram the car in front of him when they moved so he was clear of the tracks. On the same tracks a few miles from town we saw a car that was hit. It was a way down from the road on the tracks. I heard no one made it.
just wanted to let your dad know he's not alone w/ his knee i'm gettin my left done after gettin right done so good luk to us
Craziest thing I ever had was waking up at 0300 because of a warm wet feeling on my chest. Wake up and I'm covered in blood. The PICC line I had (peripherally inserted central catheter - a type of IV) had punctured itself and was oozing/squirting blood all over me. That was not a fun night, I was 15 years old.
I'm impressed with how well the lighting is on the tractor. Even on that wide planter it is covering all of the rows.
I once was camping beside a creek with some friends. At roughly 10 pm the water started rising quickly. The tent was floating as we rolled it up ( about a ten foot rise in 5-10 minutes). We were at the bottom of steep cliff but straight up we went with what we could carry. We didn’t have but one flashlight between us (6 people). Because we camped on the opposite side of the creek from our trucks we hiked a few hours trying to find a railroad bridge we knew was there. We found the railroad but again a cliff straight down to railroad but we made it. We got halfway across the bridge when we saw headlight coming and we just made before the train got there. Anyway we finally found another camping place around three o’clock but had no sleeping bags (wet).
Right when you started talking about the USDA...it gave me an ad from the Whitehouse and how much awesome things they are doing just for me...I don’t argue politics with anyone but....it’s like they “know”....creepy 🤭🤔
Zach says it was copyright, but he just didn't want us to hear him singing along to the in cab rock concert.
My dad and I drove through a tornado when I was a kid in his Pete. Wildest thing I’ve ever!
South Dakota State University when I went there 35 years ago did corn on corn for 25 years straight growing food mostly for animal units on site. Yields were always going up with new varieties being introduced every year. At the time it was easy as different departments whether insect, disease or whatever ever all did their part in keeping soil healthy and productive.
I was sitting at a RR crossing in our local town, a woman did not see the train going by and she rear ending my car and force me into the side on of a train doing 55mph, I got lucky and survive it.
Thank The Lord Almighty Larry Kluck !

In 28 years of policing I've been hit eleven times in my cruiser and four times outside of my cruiser, eight cruisers totaled and one of the times I was hit outside of my cruiser it took me ten months to recover. And I was shot at five times but hit only once all by people from outside of the Township I worked for.
By the way, walnuts are very good for your health.

I was driving next to a tractor trailer when one of his tires blew out. It sounded like somebody fired a shotgun right next to my eardrum. It was very loud and scared the crap out of me. I 'speed' past trucks now when I pass them ... has always made me nervous since it happened.
I will be sending up my prayers for God's Blessings for an amazing crop this year Zack and family.
Fun fact, about me? Almost had a building collapse on me while fighting a barn fire. Officer sounded a mayday, everyone bailed in about 15 seconds - 30 seconds later the roof fell in.
Thank the good lord you made it out🙏that just about happened to my dad he wanted to run to help our dog and horse out we held him back thank god cus 20sec"s whole front wall came down were he would have been.... Stay safe 👍
Seeing you empty those Dekalb bags brought back some memories. I think when I was a kid, Dekalb was the only brand allowed in Ohio! Those were the only signs you ever saw.
In the mid 1970's I was just minutes behind a huge train derailment just east of Portland Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge right next to I84. There were many flatcars of spanking new farm equipment and lots of boxcar loads of canned food overturned. Must have been pretty high speed because some of the cars sunk themselves half height into the loamy soil.
When I was younger, I used to travel via RR every weekend. The last 20 % of that route were a common spot for suicides. People would randomly call the office of the local RR company, proclaiming that they will comit suicide. The trains would sometimes be stuck for hours. After the police finished searching for the caller in the area, the train would slowly pass through. One of the eeriest feelings in the world.
My crazy story. I once saw two ambulances crash while carrying patients away from a car crash which caused more ambulances to be summoned.
A few years ago me and my dad we're in this intersection waiting for the light to turn and just as the light was about to turn green, someone ran a red light and was near inches from clipping us. He hit one of the lights and flipped into the ditch. He was okay though
Its so satisfying when you open a corn bag
Yes very satisfying but I must confess that I always fought to pull the right string. The majic string would always hide from me.
My brother, father and myself were in a 18 wheeler when our trailer Jack legs got stuck on a track and we got hit by the train, well the trailer did.
I was 10 or 11 riding on the back of my brothers motorcycle, we hit a deer doing 100+ mph.. rode straight thru the thing. Didn't put us down or anything.. Still can't believe we walked away.
My dad tells a story about getting caught half way across a rail bridge when a train came and had to hang off the side while the train passed.
that sounds like a hell of an experience
When I was a teenager a friend and I kinda had the same thing happen. We were fishing off a train bridge and a train came. We ran like hell and got off from it! Lol
A rv flipped on the interstate passing me and I was in a semi started to slow down once I saw the rv fishtail stopped 50 feet from hitting the rv

That calming sensation when the engine shuts off after a long day.
In the mid 60's my Uncle was one of the largest cotton and alfalfa growers in California, even did ag commercials for several equipment and suppliers on TV. A film crew was out in a hay field setting up for some filming for the day. My Uncle's neighbor was up in his ex Navy Biplane crop duster and decided to buzz the field. For some odd reason (he was laughing hard at his stunt) lost his concentration and dropped too low and hit the camera crane rig and crashed. It was all on film! Made the local and west coast TV news outlets. He had minor injuries, but his biggest pain was when the production companies insurance adjuster sued him for $100K , for damages to equipment. They settled the issue when he agreed to fly a camera rig for them for about 30 flights in the following 12 months, all on his dime. He always said it was all worth it to meet some of the actors and such. He lost his pilot license after the FAA and State officials went back and forth for 2 years about his stunt.
Crazy story - driving in the country from farm to farm, coming up to an unmarked crossing, dirt road, couldn't see around bluff of trees for trains, going pretty fast, something told me better slow down, and winter, skidded a bit, and just peered around the bluff of trees there were a train 30 yards away top speed. Skidded to a stop ten feet from the tracks. Instant thanks for Grace! Safety y'all.
As a county extension agent in Arkansas, I appreciate what you’re extra work to put in test plots. I do that regularly with farmers all over my county.
I am a locomotive engineer, about a month ago i was riding in a crew van in transport to our train, a drunk driver hit us head on at 60 mph....by the grace of god everyone involved lived
Glad you're ok.
I'm from Germany and I once found a bomb from WW2 while working with a tractor on a field which had been part of the near forest before.
Bomb squad said i should play the lottery, because I should have been blown into a thousand pieces.
I'm 6'4. I was in the backseat of my friends 98 trans am in with the LS motor doing about 140 when he tried to miss a tumbleweed. He hit the tumbleweed and lost control and only by using all my strength to hold onto the back of his seat did I not get thrown out the back as we tumbled for a couple hundred yards after hitting a culvert in reverse. Three of us were ok except some glass cuts and bruises, car wasnt... at it was an awesome car. Fireman couldn't believe we survived especially considering there were trees a hundred yard's or so before and after the crash. Everyday alive is a good day!
Having to watch all those screens in the cab now days, you need autosteer for sure. It's like it takes rwo people to operate the tractor.
Great video and another great job. 😎👍👌
Sat in school and watched a train derail. School was evacuated as 44 of the 66 cars were loaded with bombs from the Cornhusker Ammunition plant about thirty miles away.
April 1973 Ammunition train headed to Concord Naval Weapons Station east of San Francisco 21 rails cars filled with 500# bombs blew up 19 rail cars ceased to exist on a Saturday morning I was a senior and was out there Monday morning training with telephone company. No one was killed very few injuries. We lost a country store and it was a Post Office trains stopped for a couple of hours it was at south end of Roseville yard east tracks back in service later Saturday west tracks several days later
@@clearingbaffles This was March 1970, I had to look it up 33 car derailed 16 cars had 500 lb bombs included. I was setting in class about three blocks away and watched as the cars piled up with one car shooting up in a spiral about three car length in the air. Another four blocks and it would have hit propane and ammonia storage tanks along the tracks. Aurora NE
I was walking down the road. A wheel flew off the postman’s van bounced over my head just missed me. That’s my bad experience
Fun Fact:
As a kid we were riding in the back on the truck (yes in the bed, and yes I know that's not safe. We did it a long time ago when my parents and others of their generation didn't know better and let their children ride in the back of pick up trucks) when we came to a railroad intersection. The main road ran east and west, we were on the east side of the tracks on a side street that went north and south. The railroad tracks went north and south and there was a freight train headed northbound. A sheriff's deputy was headed eastbound and he was on the west side of the tracks. The deputy rammed his gas pedal trying to beat the train thru the intersection but didn't make it. He hit the side of the train engine. I remember my dad and the other guy getting out of the truck to help the deputy, I had walked the tracks north and we found his mini-14 on the tracks and someone else found his "riot" shotgun. Come to find out I went to school in a different district and was going to school with his daughter, she was two years older than me and we had Spanish class together. She told me that her dad was ok, the worst thing he had was some bruising.
I was in the Big Thompson Flood (Colorado 1976). Had to spend the night on a mountain and was close to death. Interesting story to read about.
Nate and his Handy Andy gloves are a throwback to a bygone era.
The craziest experience I’ve ever had with you was I got to do a zoom interview with you for school. How you been
Appreciate you showing how you do the test plots. Interesting flow to get it done. From a non farmer I enjoyed it.
My crazy story. Same thing that happened to you. I was at a crossing and as I was looking down to see if the end of train was near I saw the cars bouncing and leaning. I put my truck in reverse but their was a Big John Deere tractor with a 24 row corn planter right behind me. As the train cars where coming at me I woke up. Thank God!

Years ago when my dad would be harvesting potatoes on his own, he would start the tractor and trailor off down the drills in a low gear, jump out, jump into the harvester tractor and do a strip, jump out of the harvester and back into the trailor tractor at the headlands, turn and do it again!!! Im an only child , when I was 8 he had me on the harvester

I was driving down the highway when I pass a county road crew bushhog the sides of the highway. As I passed it threw a large chunk of cross tie out and it went through my windshield. To this day I get nervous to drive past them
Thank you farmer. I pray the good Lord blesses you with just the right amount of sun and rain to grow your crops. Farmers=food.
Back in the 70's I was disking a field. Stopped at the headlands to find a bathroom. All of a sudden the ground around me started bubbling up. I jumped up on the tractor and headed for the farmstead. Our neighbors were sighting in their rifles for deer season. My Dad had stern words with them, they came over and apologized and gave us some venison jerky after deer season.
Busted lip sounds like Mrs. Millennial Farmer has a good left hook.
let's just hope that none of these crazy experiences you want people to share start with something "This one time at band camp" lmao
But there was this one time at the 4-H fair ....... 💥😂
What happens at band camp, stays at band camp.
Always the best part of my day when I hear "get er" or "Morning pups"
I was at the races in Huron Sd at Dakota Statefair speedway the night you and your late model ended on top of Lorin Johnson's car. That was a first.
