    I grew up norh of Aberdeen SD, west of Hecla SD. I remember when I was about 11 or 12, dad put me on an AC WD, (with a hand clutch) and a flat bed trl. It was my job to pick the rock in the field. I moved on to a IH 450 with a farm hand on the front and this was an improvement. But when I was nearly 16, dad finally bought a mechanical rock picker which made me so very happy. No more getting off the tractor to push the rock into the bucket. I agree that it is important to get them off the field and it is necessary that it be done. As much as I bitched about it, I have to thank my dad for making me work so hard. The work ethic I learned from the hard work still is with me to this day, even at the age of 72.

    It is easy to like this video. I can not bring myself to click the like button on the last few videos showing the storm damage. It is good everyone was safe. The insurance can take care of the things.
    The rock picker is quite a machine. It does what it was built to do. It saves a lot of time stopping the equipment to pick them up by hand.
    Your soil conservation basins look like they are very effective solutions to the erosion that would happen in any field without improvements. Kudos for your fine land management.
    Your daughter is so sweet and smart. Within a few years she will be pulling the rock picker for you. Her experience riding in the side saddle will make her very proficient very quickly.
    Thanks for sharing. When things are good and even when they are not.
    Blessings, Don

    My father in law lost his dairy barn to fire, lightening strike, in the 60s. He rebuilt bigger and better, more efficient, also had the first milking parlor in the county. It was definitely to the better. Sometimes these natural disaster/ incidents are just the nudge you need to continue to improve/grow. Best wishes and happy planting.

      Virginia. I grew up the oldest son on my family’s small dairy farm. My parents decided to sell out in 1983 during one of the dairy buyouts due to my father’s failing health. Best decision they ever made because my father passed in 1997 at the age of 56. I have now outlived my father as I’m now 57 and have had my own welding business for 21 years. Wish my daddy could have lived to see me do it. Most people close to me thought I’d lost my mind but he would have understood.

    I know how it feels to start planting with a very wet spring. Back in 1972 , I was the first to start paying cash rent for farm ground in SW Ia, which I thought it was going to be a lost cause, but it turned out to be the best crop that was produced for that year. only to realize the next 2 years I had 30 bushel corn. But thats what farming is all about. Good Luck and it will turn out to be another of working for the Almighty.

    Your dad was bound and determined to get the tractor in the field! Good for him. Hope all goes well with the rebuilding. Never fun but hopefully you can be better in the end. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for another great video Zach. It was interesting and interesting as always.
    I am surprised your ground is as dry as it is except for the wet spots. Do agree with you and your dad, give it a go and see how it goes. Will take some time anyway getting the planter settings done.
    Go get em. Try it.
    New building comment. Would build bigger if the budget allows. Always need the space. Would also suggest doors on each end. Put into the new building what you want now the opportunity is here.
    Glad you got the moline going. The loader might be handy with cleanup.
    Lots of cleanup yet. Can do that when time allows.
    The rock picker. Enjoy seeing that work. Never seen one before. Here in central Iowa we do not have to do that. Might have an occasional rock but no need for a machine. Neat picker you have.
    Good to see the kids helping with the cleanup. Good community service for them. Neat to see onyx running the moline.
    I send my best wishes to you for a good planter start. Am hoping you will start without too many issues.
    Thanks to you and your dad for the way you are handling all of these issues. My compliments to you both. You both hold my respect.
    Looking forward to the next video.
    You both take care and be safe.
    Thanks for everything Zach.
    The Iowa farm boy.

    I sit on council for our municipality. the roads have just took an absolutley beating this year. we haven't been able to pull the shoulders yet just because it gives you a day or two of actually dry working than you get an inch of rain..., or as yesterday you get an inch of rain and a coating of snow! the grain guys in my area are starting to get nervous now.

    I feel your Dad was correct run what you can it's getting late. So at least you can hopefully get some crop going. Prayers for your family and looking forward to bigger and better items coming to the farm at some point since the damage it left.

    Waste of money? If its paid for, its not a waste of money. Its a handy tool waiting for its time.
    The building being down may have been a blessing in disguise. Better use of space and design. At least, that seems to be how it works out when you get down the road a few years.

    Those grass strips are really neat. The amount of crop land lost is tiny but you get a lot of runoff control.
