Old man is in heaven watching the yield monitor on the combine... 70+.. he had to come back! 👍👍
I do believe you are correct. It is bliss.
Yes
I know you hate grain bins, but I love watching grain bun videos. I don’t know why it so satisfying watching a grain bin be emptied or filled
Hey! I'm a Paramedic, watching from Eastern Canada. We don't have a lot of agriculture in this area that utilizes storage bins. Little to no grain, but lots of root crop. I just wanted to say, I think your giving back and providing rescue training or equipment is an amazing thing to do. I've been a subscriber for a couple of years, and this is by far my favourite video!! A huge thumbs up, and I hope you get that training out there to everyone who needs it!
Marcel Warford nice to see another Canadian watching, I’m from B.C.
Eastern Ontario here too, well said my friend.
Vancouver Island, BC says hello and stay safe to Zach and my fellow Canucks!
Central Ontario Canada here.
From Surrey , British Columbia.
Not all small town emergency responders can afford the equipment for grain bin rescue but they should have it, so that is awesome that you guys are doing this for the emergency responders!!
Those old farmers are tougher than a $2 steak. Glad your dad is doing good keep on keeping on and stay safe.
Thank you our local white river coop just donated a grain tube this summer for grain bin rescues to Taylor fire Dept which I’m cheif of. We have three tubes in Greene County indiana now. Pioneer seed put on training a couple year ago. It’s good to have folks who recognize the need for rescue equipment. Thank you
My uncle fell off a grain bin about 6 years ago. He broke his hip and had several surgeries. Thank you very much for addressing grain bin safety. That’s why you are the best channel on UA-cam.
Don't forget children. Many climb to the top and fall in and suffocate in the grain. That needs addressing. Good job Millennial Farmer!
As a first responder in Michigan myself and growing up and being around farms my entire life, I must say you guys are absolutely amazing! These volunteers who will be lucky enough to be chosen must really feel lucky! As always y’all stay safe!
Gotta say as a first responder in a heavy farmed area seeing them want to help that way means alot
We recently had a farmer fall in to a silo. He was 40 years old with 4 kids.. stay safe everyone our family’s need us
Man, I don't know of anybody in AG that doesn't know someone that died from grain bin/silo mishaps. I'm thankful and blessed it's not been a family member but we've lost 4 family friends in my millennial life, most recently about 3 years ago. As farmers we have to remember nothing is ever so important that we don't have time to be safe. Thanks for always highlighting this important issue. Be safe, everyone.
My husband reminds you that
once this bin is empty PLEASE FIX THAT AUGER & DRAG. I know you will.
Great cause & effort.
ZACH, you are such a GREAT advocate for the farming industry - and like it or not, it IS an "industry". You are intelligent, well-spoken, humorous (eg. "eating" the dead bug ) and moderately handsome. Farmers need advocates such as you. Your videos are always well done - well edited (thank you Becki) and always have an excellent (or at the very least interesting/informative) message. The average consumer has no idea what it takes to put food on their table or the clothes on their back - whether it comes from an ear of corn, a pod of soybeans, a boll of cotton, a half of beef, a side of pork, a gallon of milk, or carton of eggs, or a pint of cream, a stick of butter, a head of caulifower, a package of strawberries, a bag of almonds, a bag of potato chips....etc etc etc. But I (and many, many others) appreciate you and your peers (the "industry" of farming). High tech sometimes - yet sometimes mucking out a grain bin (or hog pen or chicken house). Most Americans look down on farmers as "hayseeds". They have NO idea the critical importance you play in our daily lives. I know I am going on and on here. But believe me when I say you are NEEDED. Your VOICE. Your PERSPECTIVE. It is an important and useful thing you are doing.....so THANK YOU. And God bless the American farmer and the American cattleman and pork producer and cotton producer et.al............
Our local fire department bought a grain bin entrapment tool and they had its 3 days and weren’t even trained on it yet and they had to use it the lady made it because of the tool
YOU'RE REALLY GREAT. OUR FAMERS LIFES ARE THE MOST VALUABLE. THE WORLD WOULD DIE WITHOUT THEM.
You hit a chord, Zack. I have been away from my farm roots for a lifetime but can name entrapment victims from the 1950s onward in an all too long list. I am a retired rural Wisconsin sheriff's sergeant and have always called our almost totally volunteer responders and fire fighters "America's modern Minute Men". Thanks for the opportunity to do something for both groups!
Thanks for helping other farmers by helping first responders.
My department has the equipment for grain bin and silo rescue and I am certified in grain bin and silo rescue.. we are as far as I know the only department in the area that has the set up
is the equipment fairly generic and interchangeable between brands? Is thre one manufacturer more popular than another-- looking to see if small locals can band together for larger issues..
@@michaelowen1750 that im not entirely sure of .. the premise of the system is to cocoon the victim inside of the system and use a corded drill powered auger to empty the grain out from around the victim to allow them to be freed .. its a system of curved metal sections that slide together and make a circluar shelter around the victim
I figured it was something like that, but thought a shop vac type approach... Until you think static electricity...but a battery drill and mini augur work too....
You can take the Farmer out of the Combine but you can't take the Heart out of the Farmer. Plus getting to work with is son and what you've become you can tell he is proud.
Back in the day the rule was it was a two man job to work in the grain bins. One man inside and other man on the outside...even working in corn cribs with ear corn!!
Bill Smith That’s absolutely how we did it, Bill. We didn’t know that much about entrapment. In our area of western PA most confined space deaths have been from gasses in silos. But always, always, it was a two man operation.
Cheers!

just makes sense to always have a buddy system in place when working in dangerous places.
Pretty much every industry works that way.
Hey, I'm a retired bricklayer (because of disability, bad back) Who started out life on a very small family farm. One of the things I remember most from those years is my grandfather having me picking up rooster eggs. I comment on that very often...maybe too often. The farms down here in Southern Ohio are not even near the size you have up there but they work very hard just the same. I really enjoy watching your videos and look forward to looking in on the operation up there. Keep up the good work and above all stay safe! God bless and keep those kids praying (you too), Greg
It’s “KOBE!” 😂
I commend you for giving back to those communities where training funds are limited and the department members foot there own way!
Not a farmer myself, but come from a family of farmers. Grain bins aren't the most safe thing on the farm, but of course, what is? Gladly donate if my money will help save someone's life.
Sorry for any loss from grain bin deaths, Thanks for giving everyone a wake up call!!!
Ex-firefighter I think it's amazing that you guys are getting back to volunteers firefighter .thank you
Dad: I’ll take the combine back, you go back in the bin”
Zach: “No really, you rest your leg some more”
Dad: “No, I’m good”
Zach: “Doh!”
😂
Fantastic idea Zack, on giving back to the grain bin rescue first responders, I’m sure down the road this will save a farmers life working their grain bins. Another thing you might think about is having a “Grain Bin Rescue Training Day” , where you have your local Fire Department set up rescue training on one of your bins so various Departments could train. This could be a 2 fold payback, 1 - it helps all first responders on what’s needed and the correct set up for a grain bin rescue operation and 2nd God forbid, the training would be great on your bins if in fact the first responders were ever needed at your farm, they would have first hand knowledge on your grain bin operations. Just a thought. Plus a great video opportunity.
Our department got grain bin rescue equipment recently within the last few years we are lucky to have it seeing incidents happening in the neighboring districts, lucky to have it
It’s hard to keep farmers down. My dad had a surgery this summer. They said he would be out 2 weeks, he waited 4 days and he was back on a tractor. Keep up the good work. Just attempt the keep him healthy and safe!
I hope a certain Green Machine and red machine manufacturers get involved in this cause. Be safe!
Hey, Thanks for helping the local first responders. The subject of grain bin entrapment is not widely known and I believe your campaign will assist in helping agencies to be better prepared. God Bless and Thanks for what you do!
Your dad seems like such a nice man. Reminds me of my dad. He always loved being in the combine. I miss him so much!! Enjoy every minute with your dad!! Take care and God bless!!
Hi millennial farmer my name is Adam Painter and I’m from southern Illinois.I have been watching your channel now for a year now. I’m not a farmer but I am a volunteer firefighter and I put some of the stuff you talk about to use on Incidences involving anything on a farm I think it’s great that you are donating that money to fire and rescue departments. My department just got grain bin rescue equipment and training a couple years ago and we train 3 or 4 times a year with it. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there
Your a good man Zach giving back. People helping people that’s how we should live our lives.
South Dakota military family currently serving in the UK. We watch every day that you post, thanks for what you do and what you do for your community! Cheers, Alan and Andrea Place.
Your an amazing guy for what you do. Im from alberta Canada and a couple years ago we had a tragic accident where a customer of our lost his 3 young daughters due to getting suffocated in a grain truck. It was news that had our whole farming community in tears. Keep up the awesome work and being a strong voice for farmers. Don't matter what country your from, farmers are farmers.
What you are doing is pretty thoughtful in the current craziness in the US. Without the first responders or the Cops things would be a lot worse. God Bless the US and all!
"Thank you" is never enough to say, but I hope it shows how much you and Mrs. Millennial farmer are appreciated for all you do. Givingback is such a great support to the local EMS personnel that risk their lives, just like farmers do everyday going out to work their farms. I am a subscriber, and also a firefighter and former EMT, and truly appreciate how much you are helping us out, the equipment and training are an extremely important to us and as you may know, it is costly to the departments to purchase and upkeep the equipment and training. Thank you for your continued support.
I just wanted to say thank you for doing this, Many people don't understand how small some departments budgets are, especially volunteer departments. So receiving donated equipment that is vital to the area you serve is a huge relief to those departments! Also don't hesitate to check with your local FD to see if they need volunteers, Many of the old timers are retiring and we aren't seeing enough new blood wanting to come in and fill the boots, so recruitment is down nationwide!
love to see money go to fire departments to help the farmers, Im 19 and on a fire department in eastern Nebraska and this Saturday we have a grain bin rescue class that i hope we never have to use but im glad we are having it incase we need to.
I lost a brother in a grain bin accident...I want to thank you...I just subscribed
The company I work for Grain Systems Inc (GSI) have a thing called a ResQ to save someone in a bin when trapped. We have a team that travel around the US teaching fire departments how to use them.
I'm a landscaper contractor in Arizona was raised in Tennessee love to watch these videos an old farmer told me one time he said I quote if you talk about farmers don't talk with your mouth full bless you guys keep up the good work
I'm currently working on a senior design project at the University of Kentucky designing a harness and device to prevent entrapment caused by grain collapse or an auger being turned on.
Thank you for all that you do for the farming community!!! You are an excellent example of what a man should be like!
“You just holding that trailer in place”?
“Yea I don’t want it to roll away” that had me dying 🤣🤣
Algorithm boosted!
Instead of 2.0, he should now be known as wheel chock
We need more of 2.0
Thank you for spearheading this campaign. It's a great cause.
Thanks for giving back, I did alot of how do I say, "if ee" jobs growing up on the farm. But grain bins always scared me. I could stand on top of a silo or barn without concern. But crawling into that bin to level it out always made hair stand up on my neck. Couldn't wait to get out of it.
Thanks for giving
Your a good man Mr. Farmer. You’ve given a lot of dollar dollar bills to lots of people. Your always protecting their necks and such
Wu Tang Forever
Well done Zach you are doing our community proud! 👏🏻
I watch you, welkers and larson farms religiously and makes me wish I could buy my grandfathers land and get the farm going again and yall are awsome and amazing content
Donated to the cause! We don't have bins on our family farm but anything to help first responders the equipment and training needed to help farmers is well worth it!
You should do a video with MPL showing how they go into a bin to rescue from a bin.
Fund raising was over before I found your channel.
Videos like these serve this country well....a lot of people can see the handoff from one generation to the next off hard working farmers that make up the heart of our country and keep it moving forward, even when the rest of us are caught up in petty arguments.
Hello MMF,
Your are a breath of fresh air during these crazy times.
A big thanks to you and your family for thinking of how your family can help out a great cause. Most of these tragic accidents are avoidable. If people could slow down and think through their processes and have a plan in place for confined spaces.
Good luck on your plan to help. God's speed to your 2020 harvest. Boe
Online best practises for grain bin confined space maintenance work & trouble shooting augers? Do the ag schools have classes? I picture a safety harness that could pull you out of the grain with a powered winch from overhead & a panic button activation on the harness. I guess an avalanche is somewhat close. Don't rescue vest that give you a breathing zone exist for that case? Tons of grain & small openings to get someone out not positive situation. Safety engineers could look at grain bin design & perhaps save some lives.
2 weeks ago I had a relative died in a bin accident. It is a serious problem. Thank you for doing this.
Many years ago when working on a farm in Scotland cleaning an empty silo/bin I ended up with "Farmers lung" the fungus spores started to grow in my lungs horrible not being able to breath PLEASE use good dust masks or respirator been lucky no more lasting issues
My father got the same thing from hay. We had a dairy farm. The doctor advised him to retire, and stay out of the barn. He passed at 89 years of age.
As a firefighter in rural northern Illinois I thank you for what you are doing i have never had to respond to a grain bin accident but its good to be ready and have knowledge on what to do in those situations
When he pretended to eat that bug he's so funny😂😂
What do you mean? It was delicious.
Already flattened and crisp, what could be more better snack :P
My 20 yo son is working at grain elevator that cuts corners and uses temp staff without experience, your videos have helped me nag him into better practices but as an old nurse it scares me when he has to get the sweep going. I do appreciate all you do on and off farm. My best to gimpy dad.
U should put a camera in the cab of the combine for some footage when ur not driving it
Or give Jim or his dad the camera
That's so kind of Zach & Becky! I know in Indiana we lose farmers every year due to this issue. Let's help out or even design a safety device for this cause.
It looks like a beautiful corn harvest this year ... two weeks of sunshine and summerly temperatures ahead for you.
Have you seen his Instagram story? 40 degrees and misting
I was referring to today’s Wetter report for the week starting Monday :) you are right, the last couple of days looked nasty
@@_lucas_1k_ still not that bad lol
Great cause! A local farmer from up the road got trapped in a grain bin and sadly passed last year
Welllll, I was waiting for it, because I know you got some handy-dandy wd40 panther piss that'll free up those gears and shifters and linkages... lol
BRAVO!!! On setting up the first responder fund!!!! Volunteer department's DEFINITELY need ALL the help they can get for funding for equipment and training!!!! THANK YOU!!! AND STAY SAFE!!!
There’s nothing better than watching Millennial Farmer and playing Fas19 at the same time
So my grand dad raised up two boy's to take over the farm for him and he passed on the torch over for all the hard work but till he was 80 years old he did almost all the combining it got to a point were he would force his son's to lift him up using the skid steer into the combine so he could run it.
Got a nickel your old man will do the same.
This is something that every rural fire department should have training and/or tools and equipment for. Happens way more than it should.
If me or any of the friend's that help's us work in the Grain Bin's. We always have a spotter watching them. Cause year's ago i was in a caved in on one of our corn bin's. Lucky my daughter was watching me when it happened. And she took off to the garage where my dad and a friend was working on one of the Semi's. And my daughter ran in screaming. And my dad knew what happened since my daughter ran in screaming daddy's hurt. Lucky i manage to stand up and get out without no injury's. We now always carry walkie talkie's and say where we are at and what we are going to do. My daughter was happy i was ok. The device ur trying to fix our's was kinda like what ur's is doing. So we use a vac like what u did in ur last video. Cause it's easier to do and it's quicker. My daughter chewed me out when i got out. We had to get all the corn out to the plant that day. And the device kept clogging up. So i just said to hell with it i will just go in and just shove it in the middle. And bam got covered up good. I am 6'5" and i stood up and my wife yell's his head is right there. Friend's and my dad was like u lucky son of a %$#@!. We got it all out and taking to the plant. One of the plant worker's say's hey (Daughter's Name) she just goes hi. And he goes why are u mad. She goes i am mad at daddy for falling in the ben. I explained what happened he goes $#@! i said hell we had to deliver the rest 2 load's. That's cool u guy's are helping people. A lady at the Cafe where we always eat out all the time. She lost her truck in a accident. And her insurance company only give her $500.00 so what i did was give her one of the shop truck's so she would not have to walk in the cold or in the snow. And she was happy. And she help's us when it's hay season. And she help's my mom and wife cooking meal's when it's time to load up the hay off the field.
Grain bin safety is so important it can’t be stressed enough
Siledge gases, leveling off corn siledge is definitely the most nerve wrecking job on the dairy. Knowing it's up there but u have hungry cows
I have come out of a freshly filled silo, with a massive headache. The gases were real. We always left the silo filler blower in place for about a week after filling a silo. We would run the blower prior to getting into the silo, and the entire time we were up in there, as a precaution.
Zac, Becky. Yours is possibly the best channel of all. Safe working should apply to everyone and in all situations so please, please, please fit some guards to your bin unloading augers. I go cold every time I see them running unguarded. On your recommendation, I watched the “Armless Farmer” who lost both arms in an auger accident at 2 years old. Don’t let that happen to your kids. You can replace guards but not children! Keep up the great work.
Millennial Farmer is probably the most generous farmer alive! Let's get him to 600k subscribers!
Most farmers are generous in the support of charities/not for profit/ that support farmers and farming families after a tragedy, from giving money to using their machines and time to either sow and/or reap crops. And expect nothing in return, except that if it happened to them, the community would do the same for them.
@@michaelrussell6661 I understand that but he donated 5,000 when he got to 500,000 subscribers so if he gives more that's about 10,000 dollars this year
Being in farming is 3 times more dangerous and being in law enforcement.
Working together is a great way to improve these odds.
Farmers are true American Heroes
I'm disappointed that it took you 9 minutes to get the wd 40.
I live in KY and we have an 80 acre farm behind our house. The farmer alternates soy and corn, this year is soy. My oldest son is fascinated with all farm equipment machinery and loves to watch the farmer work. We enjoy watching your videos as well. Thanks for sharing with us!
Let’s get this awesome man to 1 million
Thanks for helping out the volunteers and rescue squads.
Every time I hear your "Are you alright? You okay?" Line I absolutely die. Love your content!
We are from Eastern Iowa a Fire Department and we have a rescue tube and training on Grain Bin Rescue!!! This an awesome cause!!!
U should weld handles on those shifter rods
I watched a You Tube video last year about a young man who went into the top of grain bin for some reason and got trapped in the grain. Biggest thing pointed out was that he did not tell anyone where he was going, nor did he leave a note. Lucky for him the guy bringing in a load of grain didn't see him around and started looking for him; he was rescued in time after a big process.
Need to train the farmer too. inform someone you are going in, use a tether line, and like Bernie said below; ALL electrical equipment should have a tag/lock out. One more safety tip; never approach a tractor from the rear; let the operator see you because it only takes a second to get tangled up in the PTO if you slip and fall (It happened to a neighbor when I was in high school). A PTO or auger only needs to go around once to really screw you up.
If I had to go into a grain bin, I would want to be wearing a safety harness hooked to an electric winch/hoist at the top of the bin, with a remote control strapped to my chest to hoist myself up as soon as the grain started burying me.
5150lane sadly you weigh over 4 times as much when trapped under grain it’s a very fast thing happens in less than 10 seconds
My sister was playing in an overhead oats bin, while my dad was emptying some into his truck. This was a basic gravity system. When her leg came out the chute, ha raced up and puller out. No Mechanical parts, just a slide door in the bottom of the bin.
You are absolutely the best. I don't subscribe to cable tv or any national tv for that matter. You and youtube channels like you are my television. I personally would like to see longer episodes of the Minnesota millennial farmer.
Need to thread the end of those slides so I can screw a handle on
Where I live we have a lot of crop agriculture. We are lucky and we don't have a lot of incidents but one of the local farmers purchased two sets of grain rescue tubes with auger and all the other nice tools for grain bin rescues. We are grateful for the farmers and for them looking out for the other farmers and themselves for providing that rescue equipment. What your doing is great and will benefit everybody.
My cousin died in a grain bin last month, be careful
beergutbandit that’s sad
I’m sorry to here that
Im sorry for your lost
Sorry to hear about ur loss🙏 beergut
Sorry to hear that buddy
I am a Fire Chief in South Central Minnesota and can't say enough about training and working with other fire departments when this sort of thing happens. Multiple departments and agencies are needed due to the amount of grain involved and equipment needed. A great source of training is your local Technical College or a private training source such as SASCS. Everyone stay safe!
Do you have a "TAG OUT or LOCK OUT" procedure that everyone ( Jim, kids, dad etc. ) on site knows about? Like what if you powered off the bin motors and went in side the bin and someone for some crazy reason powered up the auger and other motors and you got hurt because they didn't know someone was in the bin.
Came here to ask the same question. If you don't already do it, lock that equipment out! Stay safe, folks.
Yes please tag and lock out
Look up New Ulm grain bin accident from 2018. I’m relatively close with his grandfather (long story). He was stuck in there for three hours until rescued, and his brother died from a grain bin accident 17 years prior. Scary stuff. Stay safe out there...it’s great to see a man like you giving back.

Nate's question at 0:56 umm most of them
Thanks for raising awareness of grain bin safety. Been part of two tragic bin rescues in my years. neither turned out well. Our local grain elevator manager also died two weeks ago in a 330.000 bushel bin. It was apparently a fall into a nearly empty bin. I will be donating ....
Near my house in Indiana the farmers soybeans r ready but still hasn’t harvested 🤔
Grain bin entrapment is real and no joke, thanks for bringing this to light. You should also do a segment on combine head entrapment. Our little F.D. went to a seminar on it years ago, I saw grown men pass out at the sight of the damage to the human body that farm equipment can do. Be careful.
I subscribed over a year ago. I’m just smart though. 😀
