So the way I was taught by my grandfather about why the rocks keep reappearing every year is due to the fact that the land on the prairies is constantly settling since it was created by the glaciers of the last ice age and the rocks settle at a slower rate than the surrounding land and that's why we used to have to keep rock picking (by hand and stone boat) the same fields every year.......don't know for sure, just saying, LOL.

i was watching Bloomberg channel, how did I get here? lol. Anyway interesting channel, I've been watching and learning for a while.

I know or at least I think your doing all the camera work and it's fantastic all the different angles and such. Your interaction with your kids is precious. Hey I also started watching the farmers wife from Canada Riding in Cabs with Farmers or something like that she's just getting started with this and is fun to watch not many viewers yet. You ought to evite her down to meet your wife to get the ladies view here. I think that would be a fun video. And lastly I find myself watching you and several others rather than the regular TV.

The diesel trailer from farming sim at the end of the video like, "sup y'all know who I am" Also that seed tender is sweet, wish the one in fs19 worked the same way with the ability to adjust the auger position.

Use small charges of dynamite !

I realize this will never be seen but, here in western NC which used to be tobacco country, we had an old man who would plow with an old 9n ford. He would hide a mason jar somewhere at the end of his field, after each row he'd stop and "act" like he was taking a leak, but we all knew he was taking a pull off that mason jar ;-) Love your channel sir :-)

A patch or two is gonna be needed on that tire.. maybe some duct tape and zipties as well

Paint those rocks a bright orange so easy to find when ready to dig’em

You have a handsome family Z... Onyx running that tractor & grain cart ,solo (in a different video ) impressed every single viewer. Well, at least everyone who didnt grow up on a farm.

Glasiers picked up rocks on their way south & sprinkled those rocks throughout the midwest as they melted... Well, thats what my teacher told me 40 yrs ago.

That tractor has some serious lights on it ...wow !!!! must be easy to work at night with it !

Those rocks are everywhere the glaciers were. But you wanna see bad rocks go to wear the glaciers ended. The fields are all rock.

We had bought some ground next to an old rock quarry, we did not have a machine. Dad had us kids, 2 loads on the back of a 3 point hauler every day. He could tell when we had a load because the tractor would be doing a wheelie. Good times, Hahahaha

I was raised on a farm .50 60 s best people come from farms . They appreciate things nothing is free . They know this .

glad you stopped to let her go potty see was kinda giving you the stink eye trust me i know what the stink eye is many times

I loved riding in the cab with my dad when I was a kid. We didn’t have buddy seats back then though.

are they filled with water the land rollers? have a great Halloween with the youngins and be safe folks..GB

Love that John deer gps sound miss it 😂💚

6:51 😁

8:43Sunsets that change it from *YT to PH*

TRUMP eliminated the DEATH TAX so your kids can now have your farm free of tax.

Here's how vegetation and worms can cover concrete runways over time. In about 46 years since last use the plants are changing from mosses to grasses and weeds and that process will accelerate as birds and mice coming for seeds will drop fertiliser to feed the plants. www.remotelondon.com/wisley-airfield-an-abandoned-runway-in-surrey/ I've been watching a single alder tree and rough spiky grass growing on the solid shale of a railway embankment for about 65 years now. It was s stunted tree in a patch about 3 feet across as teh shale has little nutrient value but now the tree is about 20 feet and the patch about ten feet across and now has some soft grass and flowering weeds. I think it would take 1000 years for the patch to spread all over the level top of the banking but it may never colonise the 45 degree sloping sides.

Those big rocks were left there by The Flood 4,350 years ago. All the nice topsoil that almost covers them is what worms and plants have made since then. Worms and roots make topsoil at the rate of one inch per five years but our post-Flood weather blows and washes most of that soil downhill and away in the rivers to make the deltas - or perhaps fill the wet depressions around the land that were once lakes? About 58 years ago I went to look at a small old mill dam here in UK. About ten years ago I went again and the dam was amost half filled with sediment and grassed over. In another 20 years it will be pasture. It's how GOD intended us to have lovely productive land to feed us and TRex and all the other animals.

My first official job, was raking rocks. In Southwest Missouri, there are rocks everywhere. Just the other day, I was raking and seeding. So great. 45 years later and I'm still raking.

You guys are hilarious!!! Thanks for doing these videos!

Man..I hope You know how lucky You are. With a wife like that You can conquer whatever comes your way. Good for you all. Greetings

4 mouths a go you where planting

My dad's combination cotonfire.

Ms. M F 'r seems to be a pretty cool lady.

Dexpan will solve the issues with bigger rocks

WHY NOT PUT A MARKER POLE UP BESIDE THE ROCK.

"stop looking at us, swans!"

Great video and love the humour. You would fit in well here in N. Ireland👍

My dad invented the first vertically folding roller (at least in our area, but I believe anywhere). This design is an interesting take as well, but it looks like it may not be as wide? Not sure.

The soil I'm used to seeing farmed with huge fields has soil up to 1/2 mile deep (Willamette Valley in Oregon) you very seldom see rocks coming up in it.

@ 6.52 was a respectful entry but denied 🤣

the billy maddison reference was mint haha

Here in the south we use land rollers at times to help seal in moisture ahead of the planters and drills

Wow...does she light up the scene.

Great equipment to work with!

excavator, or some crazy Welkers with some BOOM power lol

Doggy

Zach, are you sure there isn't some rock seed that has snuck in with some of your soybean seed???

E

All this machinery must of cost a fortune.

can she make more babies?...........YEEHAAA! /No disrespect intended.

11:05 I thought she said she didn't know any sailors?

Lol ladies room on the right’

Why didn't you use the bucket to dig around it anf then get it out ? Then just put some dirt and back blade it and hit with the roller to pack it

Man. Somebody's in debt.

So thankful for technology and advancements that let more farms stay in family hands.

Zack, you mentioned the large rocks you have in your fields. May I suggest, there is a polymer expanding product on the market that I used many times in construction. By using a compressor and a 90 pound jack hammer drill a few holes down in the rocks about a foot apart and deep enough to get the rock well below the surface. Mix up the polymer and pour it in the holes. When you come back the next day the rock will have split and fractured enough to dig it out. Good luck. (Dexpan)

No you Grow them.... The Fairy sneaks out every year and plants Rocks for you...

I've watched a handful of your videos now and this has to be the funniest one I've seen.

Our farm had its fair share of rocks. Every spring we would hand pick the rocks. There was a large rock my dad wanted to remove. He took the Oliver 66, a length of chain, and a hay hook. The hook was part of the old style hay hooks that ran along the top of the barn and dumped loose hay in different mows. He and the hired man, attached the chain to the front of the tractor, and the hay hook was driven in behind and under the rock. They started pulling, and at some point, the hook slipped off the rock, flew thru the air and imbedded itself in the hood of the tractor, about three feet from the seat. The 66 was his pride and joy, and he was pissed.

A rock is Gods way of saying "don't plant stuff here "

1:00 - Time to call the demolition contractor!

“Oh I see the problem it’s got a hole right here’” 😂🤣😂🤣 I know he was joking but that’s totally me 🙁

DYNAMITE

There is a copy of you and your wife on the island of Rügen in Germany and the crass thing is that they also have a giant farm with 920 hectares of fields and mainly work with John Deere agricultural machinery ... that was 7 years ago when I was there on vacation. The family is called Reuter ... Extreme the similarity and parallel you have :-)

I dig out a lot of rocks from fields with an excavator and man some of them rocks are almost to big for a 200 deere

Any sailors around that could confirm the saying?

0:48 I saw what you did there

Rocks and stones grow as a kid I know

Dad used to farm a place that would grow a 1/2 dozen+ beer keg size rocks, plus a ton of small bowling balls every year.

Did anyone else find an editing/recording problem at 0:50 he started to say something but it was overlapped by the same thing ?

We have a degelman rock picker

3:50 Like a child getting a new toy :-)

LOL you dont know what real rocks are

all the latest in farm machinery

you know, if you 2 are always ridin in the tractor together, everyone knows you're toe curlin in there buds, just sayin eh ;)

need to rent a bobcat 850 high flow with the rock spike and bust those up, then hit it with the rock roller.

6.15...That my Airbus 320...nose landing gear....

May be these ROCKS planted by your neighbor farm boys ????

I like your Spaceship..:)

I'm surprised you don't have a John Deere loader/ backhoe

6:48 Wow, talk about wholesome and efficient --- getting to enjoy some quality "bonding time" wif Daddy, and keeping up with his math and English lessons at da same time :)

5:20 You can tell dat Little Son totally trusts Daddy to keep him safe on Da Big Machine, if he yawns casually while riding in da jump-seat :D

4:06 ANY machinery video is worth watching when ya include a moment of da cute little ones' adorable innocent antics of liking to spend quality time wif Daddy. :D

Look up a product called Dexpan to solve your rock problems. You drill holes Pour it in. Come back tomorrow Rock is cracked Now you can remove it! Best part is You can re hydrate it and use it again!!

Imagine they used to actually work....and do it all with just animals and a plow

I guess you are also growing rocks😏

greetings from holland

Use dynamite on them rocks!

You couldn't seriously picked that small rock up?

Me and my co worker were swathing canola last year and we both lost our grease guns in the swaths somewhere before we noticed so when we were combining we were praying we werent gunna eat them haha

I love your humor on the ladies and men's rooms!

Sooooo much green, I gotta watch some Welker re-runs for encouragement... lol. 😜😜

Remember also that in Minn, all our land used to be Lake Agassi millennia ago and before that, it was a glacier. That glacier DROPPED all those rocks on us as it retreated back.

The Rocks, I know how to make explosives, we drilled them and used you know what,what they blew up the Merl building- when i heard about that, I knew how they did it

Now that's cheating- I farmed with old JD's A, B,60,620!two row corn planter, an Allis Chalmers xt190 for plowing with a 5 bottom 16" IH! AND didn't have the comforts- it was like riding an ole mule all day!!

MN was covered in glaciers in the last ice age. When they receded glacial till was left to cover the ground including the rocks all farmers hate. Mother Nature loves to leave all presents to keep us humble.

Tylyn I'm a subscriber to and I wanted to know what you guys do every day besides road

change your hat

I just finished watching an old 8mm black n white film of my father plowing with a mule. Can you imagine how times have changed since then?

You, Master Piplayer and case of whiteclaw could take care of those rocks

do you guys treat beans? It seemed as if your beans were really dusty has they went into hopper?

love how the kids get involved best farm Chanel there is keep it up

Damn good thing you're not ranching. Horses don't like technical controls up their butts!

As kids, there were way too many flat racks of stones picked & dumped by hand. Most fields just have smaller areas of stones. However, we have some large rocks that need to be picked/dug up via the tractor loader. AND there are several very large boulders which would cause an excavator to snort!
