Those kids are the future backbone of this country.

next time your in iowa swing down into the ceader falls and waterloo area

I'm not from the US and I don't mean to offend anyone but those 2 boys... Holy moly, those were 2 of the most stereotypical looking bucktoothed farm boys I've ever seen.

Great show Covington la

Where it's not plastered on the ground it's pretty fd up

Zack, you really toured the Hawkeye state. I live in Eastern Iowa (Quad Cities) It was unreal the winds that came through....Over 100 mph, for over 30 minutes....Crazy times.

Any updates on the harvest? Or total loss?

My home town is Washington and I went to school with Mitchell’s brother David.

Crazy i thought we had it bad in the quadcity's. But clearly not as bad as alot of other area's

Hi

Heck ya. I live about 20 minutes west of Cedar Rapids on hwy 30.

Mater ah feckt tew yeers agew I bleew the mowter in et😂 who’s the actor that played that kid

Those KSI conveyors are made in my home town! In fact the K stands for Kaeb, my last name!

Barley and mustard in Iowa, never would have thunk it

DUMB QUESTION for a new guy. Could that downed crop be round bailed or harvested for silage?

Further South, and out West, they have longer growing seasons and can often double crop. I am Gen I, very much a new guy, and a lot of my land is wooded, rockey, on a huge hill (cliff practically),but it was cheap! After 20 years of trying different things, playing around with 50 acres of test plots while working on my own corn hybrids, I can't truly say what's best for me, yet along tell other people how they should doing it. I"m in Northern IL, land is through the roof, hence why I've focused more on developing old hunting lands into pasture and crop lands. IT'S A LOT OF WORK! I'm doing protein, row crops, and even 30 acres of market vegetables. I have nothing that comes to close to what you have in infrastructure, and am green with envy seeing your shop and bins, but in a constructive way that motivates me. I do however own or control just shy of 3k ares now in total. I've made some BIG equipment investments, an contract for organic corn that made that possible, only due to the fact that they guarantee the trucks will be waiting to take it away, because I have essentially no storage infrastructure, I'm backing my anything mechanized into self built 3 sides structures to keep them dry and parking my equipment under the open sky. We're turning a scary corner here as of late. I had a pretty high paying off farm job and with all the COVID-19 stuff, I volunteered to a very limited pay, up to 5 year extended period of time off. I didn't have to, I'm in the airline industry and everything is based on seniority. I have enough that operations would have to be pretty much shut down for me to get furloughed, but this is a big sign to jump into farming with both feet. My General Manager retired after working 5 years longer than he wanted to, and the ball is 100% in my court. If you ever make it up around Tiskilwa IL, you're more than welcome to all the food and beer you can consume, and free use of the cabin by the lake. Just let me pick your brain! God bless.

can you send me some corn befor you get wd40 on it (:

I like that Case 240 Magnum That’s a big upgrade for my Dad He has a Case JX 95 in Mexico

Culvers = love. on another note Double baco chee!!!!!!! x2 I don't even get frys. Gonna call it tht for life now. 15:35 loving the content, keep up the great work man.

I just left Tama Iowa from storm work a lot of the farmers have already turned the fields

Do you listen to Colt Ford

Did you trade motor blowing stories with the kids? Maybe the capella header from last fall would help those farmers some

Cole lives over by the fans . Lol

Einstein?

My grandpa had a Gleaner combine like that when he was a dairy farmer over 40 years ago. Which the Gleaner in the video immediately think of it. Keep making good videos. Don't work too hard!😁

If those grain bins had been full would they have stood up to the storm better?

Do you recon they made any electricity with those windmills during the storm?

the knowledge those youngsters have already at that age ,,, is a rare thing these days, impressive ,,,

u were only and hour or two from where i live

Sup

Case is sooo cute!! 😂

Okay Zach, with the combine choice you made in the video we now need you to do a Gleaner demo this fall. Just because we know it will be interesting and we all would love to see it.

You went by my road. I live a couple miles outside of Radcliffe on Zublin. It is the road before that power station

I wonder why Americans use narrow twin tires instead of just a normal wide tire. I'm sure it's less traction and more compaction - what's the benefit?

Proof once again, that farmers are some of the best people in the world. Thank you Zach.

We've got a Culver's and I've never cared to try it, but you keep showing it and now I'm intrigued!

To gather that corn use the wheat header.

Who brought Einstein back from the dead?

need a t-shirt "everything is a test plot"

I live in the Iowa City Cedar Rapids area

OMG those kids are comical 🤣🤣

Glad you got closer to where the worst damage was. Sw cedar rapids...we got hit the hardest without a doubt. Best of luck to all of us. Worst storm anyone ive talked to has ever seen.

"the buildings are on the roofs"

@9:30 your Napoleon Dynamite quote was not missed. And it was of legend. Now... Tina! Eat the food!

It's so sad to see such destruction, Myself I just hate the wind, I lost a storage shop 50 X 100 11 years ago from wind.

Juxtapose those kids @14:00 talking about farming with the entitled snowflakes smashing windows and burning businesses. Thank God for the heartland.

IT JUST BLESSES HEART TO SEE THE YOUNG KIDS SO INVOLVED IN THE FARM AND USE EQUIPMENT AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, IT WILL MAKE THEM SUCH GOOD AMERICANS!!!!!

Those kids were awesome. Thanks Zach. God Bless.

Wow! Building an electric fence is a lot easier there than the Texas Panhandle. I took two pieces of one inch square tubing, one long 12 inches and one short 4 inches and welded them together to form an L, welded two triangular one eighth inch thick flat steel in the corner to brace it, stuck a grade eight one inch diameter X 1.5 inch long bolt into the short tubing at the outside of the L and welded it in place. Then when we go to the field we get one quarter inch X 36 inch rebar, place the tool over the end and use a two pound hammer to drive them into the ground. Usually they drive in easy but there can be hard spots where you have to hit the end of the rebar pretty hard, hence the special tool that keeps your hand away from the end of the rebar. Then we hook the wire through the insulator, slide it over the pole to height and tighten the nut until it holds in place.

Allen Belgrade just letting you know KLS imp in Elrosa has a large Minneapolis Moline collection on display until labor day thought you and your dad might like to see it over 50 tractors plus lots of rare moline machines

Millennial Farmer its terrible.. i fel so sorry fore this pepole . in Sweden we have some storms . Butt not like this

Great video Zach. Have you had the race car out this summer ? Hows your sons racing going ?

Maybe they shouldn't of turned all those fans on at the same time?

i wonder if them farmers are gonna end up selling a lot of that corn for dairy farmers to chop

It was basically a 60 mile wide tornado starting 50 miles west of Des Moines and continuing East through the state. They're estimating 10 million acres of crop damage.

Oh Hi Farmer, say theres a kid named Cole around there , he needs ya to poke his grain bins to see if their OK, thanks and a Q? What do you think about American Logging Companies being considered farmers, they work on a 20 year strict rotating crop. bid for prices and hope nothing breaks.. alot like farmers and ranchers? Thoughts? thanks

Vewy vewy intawesting

Boring video.

You probably went through Mount Vernon where I grew up. Lots of devastation there.

Thanks for letting us ride along with your life. It's a welcome distraction from our daily lives. This week has been terrible, but I got a bit of time to relax and saw your post. From Southwest Louisiana, thank you for the distraction from hurricane Laura.

You should have stopped in Belle Plaine off 30 west of Cedar Rapids I’d given you a beer and shown you how the wind shifted my house off it’s foundation

@ 12:15 I had one of those mixers in a lathe, to turn a damaged bearing diameter once. It came from some food processing plant. It got pretty scary looking when I had it turning fast enough for the work I had to do. I have a very short, poor quality video clip of it spinning in the "big Monarch lathe". irmys.info/more/l2xim6eaqdWdim0/fy-lm-h-y.html

Bioreactor? They're called cat tails...they grow in every ditch and marsh...

It’s pronounced Warshington Iowa... you’re in the Midwest!

6:31 "everything's a test plot" Nice Mitch!

Belted Galloways. Oreos that supply their own milk!

MN Millennial Farmer is getting hammered on Mike Mitchells IRmys site, about being in John Deere's pocket. It would be nice to see Zach Johnson stand up for himself. Just Saying!

I live right next to Radcliffe that is so cool

stopping to look at that awful pile of green machines and driving a Chevy...son its time we had a talk

The building are on the roof. I'm going to use that one.

how in the world do you have green grass!?!?!? we've been totally brown-dry-burnt to a crisp since July 😞 try raising livestock on that

Thanks Zach again for coming to check out our farm! My brothers and I had a great time! I have seen a lot of what you have put on the video and it looks bad online but it looks worse in real life. And yes, when Tate blew the motor it was a long day! 😂 Thanks again Zach!

You were one mile from are farm

Hope you guys are alright. Farmers work to hard for this to happen.

Prayers to all the Iowa farmers 🙏 Thanks for the tour Zac so rest of country can see the devastation

I'm pretty sure I'm going to start using "oh, mustard stubble" as a way of swearing...

Is draining batteries by standing near them a super power?

🤔🤔🤔 You say that farmers may have to harvest that wind beaten, fallen over crop, in a sad way. Why is it a problem for the machinery?🤔?. Explain please. I really feel for those in that area. But, I suppose there is a bright side for some... Others may get a better price for their crop. And, maybe, if so, could donate something to those who have suffered, if someone set up some organisation/charity to get something sorted.🤔🤞😁. Just an idea 🤔🤞😁. Rich UK.

😲😲WOW😲😲.. That tower at 17:05, was just amazing 🥺🥺😭. How a wind can get SOOOOOO strong, and in such a small width, and stay that way for so long, just amazes me 😲. It's as if someone had put invisible walls up in the sky for it to follow (😲 conspiracy theorists do your best/worst😂). Awesome, and awful at the same time eh.! Let's hope this is the last for those involved for a while 🙏. Rich UK.

When you said about that crop that would have to be harvested because of insurance reasons, I would have liked it if you'd explained a bit more about it. And.. when you go to someone else's farm, I'd like to see a bit more of the equipment they use. Apart from that, LOVE the channel 🥰 🥰🥰😘 Rich UK 😘

“The big ol tool” Love your vids Zack, stay safe.

Lies, that's Geraldo Rivera. lol

Did have dyslexia, buildings are on the roof ..🤔

Random question what's push sweeper do you have?

Mitchell is Fred Savage's doppelganger.

Hello, if anyone wants to donate to the FFA (Future Farmers of America) it would help a lot. I lived in a small country county up in north GA. I took classes in school (FFA was a class to take) it helped me learn all about the culture of Farming and the cultural trait is so much different from normal society. Farmers are slowly dying off and we need to help the Future Farmers of America and make sure we have great American Farmers that wants to keep the culture going. Anything will count, Proceeds going towards the Old Time Farmers and depending on how much, were going to keep the dream alive. We appreciate everything yall can give us, thank yall. www.gofundme.com/f/24b61pv9tc

I wonder how Kassouth county IA is doing after the Duratio hit

What flavor are the oreo striped cattle? Never seen those before.

Get that man some sunglasses.

Oreo cows. My granddaughter wants to know if that is where Oreo ice cream comes from. ;)

waiting on Culvers to sponsor you.... Visit more kids, that was awesome.

I would hate to have that happen. I bet they end up using bean heads

You should try and create a fundraiser for the Iowa farmers and make a big group to spread it around like the other youtube farm channels welker farms, larson farm,...., etc.

Mini Austin powers.

@Mnmillenialfarmer what's the brand of sunglasses you wear other than your Oakley's?

belted galloway cattle, nice to see some old scots breeds out there in america 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌🏻

Was driving into story county iowa yesterday into ames via des moines and they have started to cut down a lot of corn. Most of the fields didnt have fences so cattle grazing wont be an option :/

Figured the USDA would say everything’s fine

Those young kids were awesome !!! Could make a show with those guys alone!!!

No USDA still says record Crop so it’s the opposite they think Iowa is great
