I have helped out with different education programs in my area. It amazed me that kids had NEVER seen a cow, even though you can't leave my county without passing a pasture. People are too far removed from farming now. 40 years ago, parents would tell their kids about their Grandad's farm. 2 generations have passed since then. The closest High School's football field is where my uncle milked cows until he passed in 1984. Keep taking the time to educate the people who are your customers!
thats awesome, when I got home from the navy, my mom was working for an elderly daycare place, I would take calves to visit the people, they all grew up on dairy farms here in Vermont, some of the best times of my life, their eyes lit up to see a calf and to have it suck on their fingers
That’s awesome! There was a tradition when we were seniors we all drove our tractors to school. That was pretty interesting there was everything from lawn mowers to big ones. Our area never really got the up to date technology so most of the big stuff was 1066-1566 and 4020-4440s (everyone made sure the duals were on for that day too) but it was memorable. Your kid will remember this for the rest of your life
Mornin'. I have to agree with you Brian, kids need to know how food gets on their tables, cool program. When our kids were in school they had a drive a tractor to school day, kinda along the same lines. Their favorite was our old 1456, everyone enjoyed seeing an old classic.
It's great to see kids interested in & learning about farming. To many people are disconnected & have no clue where their food comes from & what it takes to get it to their table. We had a family that lived next to one of our fields that had three young boys. They always came out & rode in the tractor. It was great to see how excited they were to be in the tractor & the combine.
Glad you could show those kids some machinery. Looking at the yellow stripes on the hood of the 8400, it's probably more like a 97 or 98 year model. 95 and 96 had black lines through the yellow.
Thanks for this video Brian. It was interesting and informative and enjoyable. My compliments to the Brown Family for taking the time away from the farm to help educate the young people at the school. It was obvious that the young people really enjoyed the farm machinery and able to ask questions and take pictures. Great experience for the young people and for the farmers also. Proud of you all for doing that. Oops to your dad for unhooking the tillage machine without a tongue jack. Oh well, will be fun getting it hooked again. About it I guess. You all take care and be safe. Thanks for everything Brian. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
You did a great thing Brian just think 15 years from now a kid may walk up to you and say this is why I got into farming because of what you did that day
Our school district had drive your tractor to school day this past Friday for the 6-12 kids( only 11&12 drove to school) and the kids loved it. And there were some nice older tractors too. None had government juice 😂
Great job, Brian. I think it’s great what you did. How else are they gonna learn. Thumbs up to the Brown family farm!! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!!
When our kids were at school i did it also a couple times, helps out two ways for sure, its fun for us and gives a little better understanding about the Ag machines in general,thanks Brian greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
This is really cool. Growing up in Central Florida where believe it or not there is farms for produce, and meat never was exposed much to farming until I worked at a farm that grew sweet corn,cabbage,cucumbers lettuce and sod. Might of changed my career trajectory had farming been more in my life as opposed to being a diesel technician. Very cool video
A loooong time ago when I was in elementary school, my Mom came to school and churned butter for my brother's third grade class. It was an interesting time. Back then, there was a whole lot more agriculture in the area, not so much any more. When I was in college, I would lead farm tours to the various campus livestock areas. Here it was mostly "city" kids. There were some great moments... being asked if the brown cows gave chocolate milk (no)... Kids getting all excited when the cows in the dairy barn pooped or peed (kids fascinated, adults revolted)... One of the very best times was when the farm manager at the sheep/ hogs and beef barns brought out this enormous Angus bull and he stood by, calm as can be while the kids petted him all over. I was concerned because my experience was with dairy bulls who are not known for their calm demeanor. The farm manager said, beef bulls have a completely different personality than a diary bull. I know the kids while maybe not learning a lot, discovered farm animals in a way they never would have in their neighborhood.
Nifty experience for elementary age children. Some schools in the area have a drive your tractor to school for FFA week. With the percentage of the population no longer involved in agriculture, education at any age is a plus!!! Thanks for sharing the experience.
Just had an idea... since you are so close to the school how about setting up a demonstration "field" not something very big, but grow something the kids would find interesting like pop corn. Demonstrate planting, might have to figure out some way to use a smaller planted... during the summer, the kids could stop by the school and watch it develop. IN the fall harvest it. If a decent amount could be produced the kids could sell if and learn the older kids could learn about what goes into producing and selling a crop.
😳😳😳 hopefully they leave knowing just how much it costs to farm and the fact that you guys aren't getting rich and they need everybody and every voter out there in the future to support making sure you guys get what you deserve in the future🎉🎉🎉🎉🎆🇺🇸🎇🇺🇸🎆🇺🇸🎇 just like any political tell you the key to success is to educate those voters early😋😋😜😜😜
Ya brian my son said they did that at Hillsdale schools in ashland county ohio too if I got rim yet for our tractor I would of done it for my son our allis chalmers wd45 tractor has calcium filled tires ate one of back spin out rims out ours now since grandpa passed always in barn grandpa used to farm with it since it was brand new till my dad was 12 when last pig or cow was sold to market now the family that farms it been farming it for 4 generations now 96 acers 7 fields 10 acers we mow with bushog rest woods rest yard
28 years my dream worked to bring my siblings together and farm all together and grow each year too my question when is your dad's choice to retire you and your brother and yours and his kids farm together as one farm too or what? i am 15 years younger them my siblings most of them are now in their late 60s to the early 80s the talk never come up about retirement they just started to fight again among themself
Your spoiled with your machinery. Our tractors are out all the time rain or snow only thing gets shedded ud feedwagon truck and payloader. Anything else unless its accidently inside for maintenance or implement behind. Combine and corn planters are shedded when not in season
I can remember back in the day for FFA we had tractor day so you could drive your tractor to school. That would of been late 80s early 90s the memories
Brian,Farming is the Back Bone of Every Country, there should be more Showing of Farm Machinery & Farm Animals to let the young People where their Food Comes From, Good One Brian,Regards & Best Wishes Trevor.W. Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.👍🐕🐎🦄🦌🐂🐃🐄🐖🐗🐏🐐🐨🐨🐨🐨🦘🦘🦘🦘🦃🐔🐓🦆🦢🦋🏵🏵🌺🌺🌻🍌🍍🥥🥑🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
Educate the kids is probably the best thing they have seen til now

Giving those kids a chance to see Farm machinery, and ask questions goes a long way in fostering a respect for the industry.
thats awesome, when I got home from the navy, my mom was working for an elderly daycare place, I would take calves to visit the people, they all grew up on dairy farms here in Vermont, some of the best times of my life, their eyes lit up to see a calf and to have it suck on their fingers
Great to take the time to pass on the knowledge to the next generation Brian. Many people have no clew how their food gets in the plastic packages.
That’s awesome! There was a tradition when we were seniors we all drove our tractors to school. That was pretty interesting there was everything from lawn mowers to big ones.

Man I do miss the old intro! But y’all have come a long ways. That 8400 was the bell of the ball!

Great Video Brian, I agree completely with exposing the kids to Agri, thanks for sharing
What a great way to show everyone, this great line -up, of equipment.
Great day for the kids ! Awesome job farmers for taking the time
Very cool for you to take the tractor and planter to school!!
Glad you could show those kids some machinery. Looking at the yellow stripes on the hood of the 8400, it's probably more like a 97 or 98 year model. 95 and 96 had black lines through the yellow.

It's awesome that you were able to show some of your equipment to the kids!
Tractor days and trade days are how we encourage the future farmers and tradesmen to look into a career in those work fields.
You did a great thing Brian just think 15 years from now a kid may walk up to you and say this is why I got into farming because of what you did that day
Great that you are involved with your kids school.
Our school district had drive your tractor to school day this past Friday for the 6-12 kids( only 11&12 drove to school) and the kids loved it. And there were some nice older tractors too. None had government juice 😂
Great video. Nice that all three of you drove a tractor to school.
I think that's great Brian kids needs to know how food is planted and how it gets to the table
Great video. Always good to help educate the kids.
Yes, thanks
Very exciting for the kids! Well done!
I agree Brian!! You made those kids day! Hell, I wish I coild have been there!
Great job, Brian. I think it’s great what you did. How else are they gonna learn. Thumbs up to the Brown family farm!! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!!
Good video educating youth of America!
Too many people think, we don't need farmers we get our food from the store. Education is important and necessary for farm survival!
Educate the children is key. Thank you for sharing. Awesome video as always. Catchya at the next one!!
Thank you for sharing knowledge
Awesome video. Thank you
Big thumbs up 👍 to everyone that participated. You're exactly right about more agriculture education for everyone. Stay safe
When our kids were at school i did it also a couple times, helps out two ways for sure, its fun for us and gives a little better understanding about the Ag machines in general,thanks Brian greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Way to go Brian, Bob and BJ!
This school visit was a good thing. Thank you Brown Family.
I bet the kids would have loved it if you could have unfolded that planter! Nice!
Great job Brian. Very neat experience.
Cool video Brian how cool for the kids
I always have respect for farmers on the road
Just so you know, 1996 was a great year. Tell Dad to keep on keeping on!
This is really cool. Growing up in Central Florida where believe it or not there is farms for produce, and meat never was exposed much to farming until I worked at a farm that grew sweet corn,cabbage,cucumbers lettuce and sod.

Lake Township (just SE of Toledo) would ask the seniors to drive a tractor to school for a few days.
A loooong time ago when I was in elementary school, my Mom came to school and churned butter for my brother's third grade class. It was an interesting time. Back then, there was a whole lot more agriculture in the area, not so much any more.

I know the kids while maybe not learning a lot, discovered farm animals in a way they never would have in their neighborhood.
I do have to say that as a 43 yo man I would enjoy a tractor parade!
Thanks young man!!
Hats off to all of you!
Brian. You have that parade wave down. 🎉🎉🎉
Nifty experience for elementary age children. Some schools in the area have a drive your tractor to school for FFA week. With the percentage of the population no longer involved in agriculture, education at any age is a plus!!! Thanks for sharing the experience.
Thanks for watching
The kids need to take a field trip out to visit you while you finish planting so they can see how it all works
Our elementary schools do something similar. No parade, but they bring one tractor in along with some smaller animals for the kids to look at.
Mornin 😂. It was so wonderful that you made the display for the students.
Happy subscriber 😊!
Absolutely brilliant we do this in the uk 🇬🇧 and also zoom calls from the classroom to the farmer. Lincolnshire Boston uk 🇬🇧
Great job teaching the next generation.
my dad has done the same 3 point hitch thing....especially when he was in his 70's
There's nothing to it but to do it!😂
Good stuff.
They need a right to Repair week. 😊 2:36
Thanks for the video.
Sure looks like a NICE school facility!!
It’s fairly new. It is pretty nice
Very nice that your family participated!
My youngest grandson had his Farmall tractor over there.
Cool
A great thing for a farming community. Why not all the way up to high school?
Difference in principals and what they allow the students to participate in.
Combine decided it wasn't "IDEAL" 😂

We have a field right next to the school. The kids see all that stuff while at recess
In my county at the only high school the kids in FFA they have drive your tractor to school around the end of the school year.
😳😳😳 hopefully they leave knowing just how much it costs to farm and the fact that you guys aren't getting rich and they need everybody and every voter out there in the future to support making sure you guys get what you deserve in the future🎉🎉🎉🎉🎆🇺🇸🎇🇺🇸🎆🇺🇸🎇 just like any political tell you the key to success is to educate those voters early😋😋😜😜😜

Good job guys

Should have left disc hooked up

Unfortunately the Weather didn't play along.... 🤔😑🌧️
How many asked for a ride
1:12
Should’ve went by and got George to ride with you through the parade
At least your dirty tractor looked like it had been working.
Think mine was the only one sleeping in a shop during the rain storm
We have a community college with an Agricultural track nearby, you may have heard of Los Angeles Pierce College. 😊 8:14
Hello!
Yours and BJs kids asked about the planter?
what do you think abt what idaho just did to their farmers
That's the school by a prison?
You forgot the candy
28 years my dream worked to bring my siblings together and farm all together and grow each year too
my question when is your dad's choice to retire you and your brother and yours and his kids farm together as one farm too or what?
i am 15 years younger them my siblings most of them are now in their late 60s to the early 80s the talk never come up about retirement they just started to fight again among themself
How do you already need new batteries for the Fendt combine? You haven't even used it yet. 0:48
maybe Fendt will warranty the batteries
Just don’t squash a kid , that’s a downer during a parade.
Parade's are hateful to drive in. You have to be on full alert every second. It's worth it, but stressful.
Your spoiled with your machinery. Our tractors are out all the time rain or snow only thing gets shedded ud feedwagon truck and payloader. Anything else unless its accidently inside for maintenance or implement behind. Combine and corn planters are shedded when not in season
We could never do anything like that parade here. It would be labelled as promoting sexual stereotypes and excess hostility toward soil.
I can remember back in the day for FFA we had tractor day so you could drive your tractor to school. That would of been late 80s early 90s the memories
