  • We got to take a tour of our local Oakdale Turkey Farm just before thanksgiving! We got to experience some of the jobs they do on a daily basis to care for their birds and maintain a successful farm.

    Watching this 2 years later and thinking about Onyx currently with the Covid makes me sad. He's such a precious child, I know you are proud of him and love him very much! The girls are so sweet, too! You are such good parents. Prayers are with you all. Get well soon Onyx!

    I went from never having heard of MN Millenial Farmer, to now getting instant alerts on my phone whenever a new video is posted. I truly appreciate the diversity of topics you produce. In fact it was the ethanol plant video that I stumbled onto initially, and then got sucked into the farming videos from there. This turkey farm video is just yet another fascinating topic that helps me stay informed about other parts of the country that most of us aren't regularly exposed to. Love it!

    Zach I think this is really smart the way you do this. As an adult we're always so busy and forget all the work, and the things that other people have to do so that we eat good healthy food. Thank you, for taking the time to show us where how this all works!

    Thanks Zach and Oakdale Turkey Farm! Interesting, my father raised chickens for many years. Was at one time had been growing chickens for Gold'n Plump longer than any other grower. When he started it was all about cleanliness between flocks. Toward the end it was the opposite where they figured there were more immunities in an established building and they would actually buy our chicken manure and take it to brand new barns and spread it on everything inside a new barn before the first flock arrived. We would just add another 6 inches of sawdust between flocks, clean up any wet areas, and only do a complete clean-out once a year. Broilers have a lot shorter cycle on the farm, 8 weeks to grow them, and 10-14 days to get ready for the next batch.

    I would like to honestly say thank you. Thank you for bringing these great, quality videos to us. The effort and work you guys put into these shows. The educational aspect combined with the light humor makes these a joy to watch. These are the kind of good hearted, honest videos I can watch with my daughters to educate them on what I see as important topics in today’s hectic world. 🤔 also, I think I need a job in agriculture, the girls all seem to be cute (🤫 don’t tell my wife I said that).

    By showing other types of farming this is a learning experience for us all. Onyx is getting what most other children dream about, the best way to learn is to be a part of the operation. At being close to 70, it’s wonderful to see that you have a rarity, a loving, intact family. Something a lot of people dream about.
