Oh course we need to see part 2. It's always fun and interesting to watch "pros" at work. Well, you're darn good at what you do. If I was 800 miles closer I would have gladly rented a sod cutter and removed that nice grass for you. I would guess it's about a thousand bucks worth around here. Time for breakfast. The wife now has to wait until the Sunday morning Neil show is over. :)
Your finesse with the backhoe is incredible! Watching you pull the sod right along the radius of that curve. it can be difficult to achieve that when you take your time with a shovel but you're 15 feet away having to imagine what the opposite side of the bucket is doing back there. Great work.
I love the variety from your channel. Other channels do the same thing every video, which is fine. But you give us entertainment AND an education. 😁👍 Very cool!!!
After a little weekend trip to Chicago, I'm glad to be back home again in Indiana to enjoy your weekend video. Your skillful operation of the backhoe is quite amazing. I always love the variety of your videos you put out each week. I can't wait to see part two next weekend. Thanks for another great video Neil.
Neil, we had a small steel grain bin on our dairy farm. We used it to store cattle feed. (Bulk feed cost less than bagged.) Our neighbor used an old clay block, silo type, bin for his hog feed. Back then, there were dozens of different types of bins used for a plethora of food storage needs… I don’t know if the relentless march of technology is more to blame… or, the government/ market forces affecting farming… but, now most of those bins and silos are idle…. Or gone. Our metal grain bin serves as a pad for the current family’s grill and picnic table. As you know, there is no profitability in small dairy farming. The neighbors clay block silo sits idle with a tree growing out of its top. It’s business model, small hog operation, is a thing of the past… the farmland now has a pay-to-fish lake and cabins on it. I think a guy can get a pretty good historical read on rural America by just looking at food storage methods. From old brush filled trench silos to the latest computer controlled spiderweb of bins… each one was built to fill a need or chase a dream. I find it fascinating that so much history is contained in the stories behind those methods. Thanks for telling this one. Please continue to enlighten us on the progress of this project’s place in history. PS: nice job of feathering that boom around those curves.
Hadn't thought about the read you can get from all the old different storage solutions of yesterday. When reading this I thought of all the old corn cribs around here. WE had one at Mom and Dad's and it didn't make for very good storage with the slatted-siding design. It was great for firewood storage though as it really helped to air dry the wood. Every year we filled that thing up with wood. The Amish are the only ones around here that still use that style of corn crib. We also had a grainery at Mom and Dad's that they would supposedly fill up with dry corn. I can't imagine scooping all that out of there. Matter of fact the big old red barn in the center of of our property is a grainery as well. It still has the elevator in it and the upstairs used to accommodate over 7000 bushels. Can't imagine parkin 7 semis overhead! You're right it certainly is fascinating. Might make another interesting component to the grain bin series! Thanks for the idea Dave!
Impressive backhoe work Neil with attention to detail. Greg is lucky to have you on his team. I bet there are very few few Agronomist... backhoe operating, dump truck driving, content creating, people out there in the world.
Some nice backhoe skills. Most people think that would be easy to do. Probably the longest broom handle I have seen .definitely want to see the finished product A.
As an electrician, I have worked on two farms with grain bins/elevators the last few weeks. It is amazing what goes into just drying and storing corn. Farming is not an easy or inexpensive 'job'.
Impressive backhoe work Neil and wow there is a lot of electric conduit runs to power everything. The DIY project is progressing nicely, it's helps to have the right equipment and manpower. Can't wait for part 2. 🙂...... and another great concrete job by George, I didn't see his daughters working this pour.
That concrete jobs looks fantastic! I just had a new driveway poured, that didn’t turnout great. I understand Gregg being nervous, there is a lot of heartache and frustration when a pour doesn’t turnout right. Thank you for the video!
I just bought a used bin last year, took it down last year, and reassembled it on the new pad on our farm this year. Luckily the crew I hired to do the work was able to do everything but store the bin over the winter. The bin was originally erected in 1979, and it looks to have had a low amount of grain through it really. 27' 8 ring Bougman bin with a 2 screw stirator for $3500. it was $35000 to move it without the electric. I still have the electric to deal with. Great work. Cheers.
You know us Neil, we want to see it all, I gotta tell you, those are the right concrete guys, they make it look simple, when we all know it`s not. This is a massive project, take us till the end.
Heck yeah we want to see the rest of the project! Everyone is top notch in every way! You have found excellent concrete contractors! I love the way you keep everything aesthetically pleasing and manicured which isn’t always priority on a farm. It’s clear that you are following the example of the larger scale clients that you have worked with. 👍 ❤
It's so amazing to both watch and listen to you on this project. I love it when you get to dirt work for big projects.... You are so detail oriented ,.....I love it!
Yes part 2 please I’m not able to work anymore. and this kind of helps me cope. For some reason I was picked to have cancer so I am on some pretty heavy medication’s, that renders me unable to work
I gotta say, it was good to see you actually working for a living brother! Also good to see Greg right there giving you crap. I'm very intrigued to see this project come to fruition. You just continue to impress me Neil. As always, love home and kiss the girls for me. You hunka, hunka stud you!!!
Looks good works good, I like farmer Greg's way of executing infrastructure improvements and expansions allowing for new processes, it's investing in his family's future which is always in my opinion, a great investment and no DEI or ESG -- hooray! Ray Stormont
Looking forward to the next video on this project! There is definitely an art to concrete finish work! Looking forward to a part 2 video on the completion of this project! It would actually be very cool to see the equipment actually working afterwards. Im sure many of us here are interested in farming, would like to learn more, but have no idea of how it happens!
I grew up in eastern Iowa, Around " farms". In the sixties, way back in the 1900's😊 This term" farm" is Thrown around a lot, these days. Back in my childhood, " Farms" Had cows, chickens, pigs , maybe a sheep or six, some had horses, All had a two acre garden, five or six fruit trees, a couple of nut trees. Not only did the have corn and beans, but they had hay fields, pastures, perhaps oats or other feed crops. They knew the long term value of hedge rows on the fence lines and the 80 foot wide water ways instead of today's nine foot wide trickle strips. The people that lived on the actual property were 70% Self reliant. Today , These people in the Ag industry. Are an entirely different breed, I refuse to call them "farmers" They are industry leaders that chose agriculture. The farmers I knew are in pedestals in my memories . (Rant over)

George did a great job. I’ll be waiting to see part 2. I love watching this kind of stuff
Would love to see the whole build process.. Great content - Living vicariously through these vids :)
Let's see the whole project Neil. I love stuff like this.
“You’re killing me smalls”. Nice work. Love seeing that you show your mistakes.
I love the variety from your channel. Other channels do the same thing every video, which is fine. But you give us entertainment AND an education. 😁👍 Very cool!!!
I appreciate that!

Duuuudddee!!! Over 4,000 new subscribers in a week 👍🤠 good for you Neil
It's kinda crazy!
Seems like you tube numbers reach a certain critical mass then they kind of self support themselves, good for sustained income.
Of course, I want to see more! Keep it coming. I want to see all the way until it’s done… and maybe bonus features of it operational
Neil, you’re a man of many talents and skills. Great job!
Appreciate it Chad.
I use to assemble grain bins when I was a teenager. That is some hard work!! Your making it look easy with your backhoe work. Great work!
George poured my slab for my shop also, he’s a hard worker, definitely knows what he’s doing
I think he's poured a lot of concrete around here!
Great video Neil! As always. Greg did a fantastic job of holding his phone to his ear!
Wow! Your channel is growing fast! Nice work everyone,keep it coming Neil. Have a good week everyone. From Northwestern Vermont
Good morning Koch family! I love my Sunday morning coffee and dig drive diy ❤
It was satisfying watching you cut that’s sod. Just watching it peel out like it did. Beautiful job with that backhoe.

Yes please continue with this stuff. - cool to see
Looking forward to seeing this project progress. Looks fantastic so far.
No clean up necessary!! Nicely done guys!!👍🇺🇸
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video Neil .
Sincerely Hollandduck
Neil, I look forward to seeing your videos every Sunday. Please keep up the great content. Thank you!
You’re gonna get lucky Neil, I’ll be back for the next one
Looks good of course we need to see part 2 George and the concrete crew do awesome work
Some nice backhoe skills. Most people think that would be easy to do. Probably the longest broom handle I have seen .definitely want to see the finished product A.
It’s alway great when you walk through and explain the entire process like a narrator. Makes for a great video. Great variety in content too!
Part 2 yes. The concrete guys are fantastic. They are really masters of their trade.
Would love to see part 2. Loved how you edged out the sod before removing it. Made for a clean edge!
Absolutely want to see part 2! Nice work guys!
As an electrician, I have worked on two farms with grain bins/elevators the last few weeks. It is amazing what goes into just drying and storing corn. Farming is not an easy or inexpensive 'job'.
Yes please show us all 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love it. We want to see it all the way to finish.
Greg
Love these construction/landscaping type videos. Would like to see more.
Impressive backhoe work Neil and wow there is a lot of electric conduit runs to power everything. The DIY project is progressing nicely, it's helps to have the right equipment and manpower. Can't wait for part 2. 🙂...... and another great concrete job by George, I didn't see his daughters working this pour.
Neil! This is a big job!! Enjoying it greatly!!
As always, if you publish it, I will watch it. Always enjoy your content.
Let's see the next one guys!
Great job!
That concrete jobs looks fantastic! I just had a new driveway poured, that didn’t turnout great. I understand Gregg being nervous, there is a lot of heartache and frustration when a pour doesn’t turnout right.
Thank you for the video!
Impressive. Can't Wait to see the completed project.

I like the way you max it up. You’re always bringing us something different. Keep it up. 👍🏻
I appreciate that!
George did a great job with the concrete.
George is an artist !
Beautiful skill with the backhoe. Well done
Very cool! Destin from "Smarter Everyday" has done a few Agro episodes and building bins and how they are designed and how they work was really cool.
Great project. I'd like to see it through. Thank you
Nice build, always a pleasure watching your channel content, definitely looking forward to part 2. Thanks for your video.
Thanks Terry 👍
Great video! I’m all for seeing part 2, 3 & 4. Thanks for sharing!
I could love to see all the progress of this project!
You know us Neil, we want to see it all, I gotta tell you, those are the right concrete guys, they make it look simple, when we all know it`s not. This is a massive project, take us till the end.
For sure. Show us the rest this project. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks Neil. Great video. Show us more!!!
Great job looking great love your videos thank you keep up the great work more more
Nice work Gentleman nice work! All the best from the Netherlands.
Love the content. You are one heck of a backhoe operator. You've got to have a part 2, maybe even a part 3 and possibly a part 4. Randall in Kentucky.
Thanks Randall.
Looking forward to seeing the Part 2. Great job
Heck yeah we want to see the rest of the project! Everyone is top notch in every way! You have found excellent concrete contractors!

It’s clear that you are following the example of the larger scale clients that you have worked with. 👍 ❤
I'll be waiting for part 2
Should I order popcorn 😂.
Going to be a good series.
Great job!! Definitely would like to follow this project! And wow on the hoe operation! You're good Neil!!
Yes keep us updated on this project really enjoyed it.
Yes, love to see more of this build!!
Neil you are one heck of a backhoe operator!
Super impressive bucket skills...nice job. Definitely want to see the follow-up!
That’s awesome would love to see this all the way through
better than discovery channel, tks. rgs from Italy
That's one outstanding concrete crew!
Another good one. Interested to see the progress. Enjoyed the very end. Ha
Incredible!!! Superb job Neil.
Definably want to see the rest of this project.
I live in Mexico with dreams of one day owning a farm. Amazing work and skills on that backhoe sir 😎
Glad to watch all parts to this. I find it all very interesting.
Never be afraid to jump in with the shovel and rake. Too many folks with cab fever.
It's so amazing to both watch and listen to you on this project. I love it when you get to dirt work for big projects.... You are so detail oriented ,.....I love it!
Hallo from Denmark🇩🇰 new to the channel, great videos, say hello to the family
George and his guys did a great job.
i'm guessing this is not their first rodeo
Yes part 2 please I’m not able to work anymore. and this kind of helps me cope. For some reason I was picked to have cancer so I am on some pretty heavy medication’s, that renders me unable to work
Great video! Yes, please show all the aspects of the project!
Great video! Love how you cut out the sod. I do that and try to save it and replant it somewhere. I can't stand to see it just buried.
Very Nice. Part deux is a must.
This is a cool project. It will be cool to see this progress.
I gotta say, it was good to see you actually working for a living brother! Also good to see Greg right there giving you crap. I'm very intrigued to see this project come to fruition. You just continue to impress me Neil. As always, love home and kiss the girls for me. You hunka, hunka stud you!!!
Thanks Greg!
Yes, looking forward to more
I would love to see the progress. Great video.
Yes, I like watching stuff like this.
I love seeing things like this.
Looks good works good, I like farmer Greg's way of executing infrastructure improvements and expansions allowing for new processes, it's investing in his family's future which is always in my opinion, a great investment and no DEI or ESG -- hooray! Ray Stormont
Nice job George, eeeeeeeasy money
Many skilled men from the old days would be blown away by modern scale. Those concrete workers are amazing..yes pt2. Tam mai lak = of course
I think you and Frank (diggin ok ) are some of the most skilled operators on a backhoe. I do fair with my jcb but nothing like you guys.
It makes me look a little better being a time lapse probably! 😉
Yes, I would love to see episode 2.
You done Good George..
Great video. Keep posting on this project.
Looking forward to the next video on this project! There is definitely an art to concrete finish work! Looking forward to a part 2 video on the completion of this project! It would actually be very cool to see the equipment actually working afterwards. Im sure many of us here are interested in farming, would like to learn more, but have no idea of how it happens!
Best concrete penmanship ever😂
Great video, keep them coming..... interesting to watch
Great job, I love the digging out. Well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great job George
I grew up in eastern Iowa,
Around " farms". In the sixties, way back in the 1900's😊
This term" farm" is
Thrown around a lot, these days.
Back in my childhood, " Farms"
Had cows, chickens, pigs , maybe a sheep or six, some had horses,
All had a two acre garden, five or six fruit trees, a couple of nut trees.
Not only did the have corn and beans, but they had hay fields, pastures, perhaps oats or other feed crops.
They knew the long term value of hedge rows on the fence lines and the 80 foot wide water ways instead of today's nine foot wide trickle strips.
The people that lived on the actual property were 70%
Self reliant.
Today ,
These people in the Ag industry.
Are an entirely different breed,
I refuse to call them "farmers"
They are industry leaders that chose agriculture.
The farmers I knew are in pedestals in my memories .
(Rant over)
You’re a smooth backhoe operator!
Nice job, enjoyed it, would like to see the process!
