I mean if we all donate a dollar that 600k raised for a good cause.

I remember doing this when I was a kid. But I didn't have a respirator to keep the dust and mold out of my lungs

Don't use the impact guns . Use a drill. You'll bust allot less hex heads.

Fantastic

God Bless You and Becky

Just found your channel and I'm hooked!

Hope you did good on raising money for bin safety . That rod broke one's while I was in the bin my dad went out to disengage the sweep and with out knowing put it drag anger on and let's just say I'm still alive the sweep stripped me in seconds and it wasn't nice thanks for your videos

I'm wondering if can we install a microphone and system where if you shout a word like "call" it will contact the fire dept (or others) through a radio or a cell phone? Another idea is to install a voice activated trap door, letting the grain out. To help people who were caught by the augers, why can't we have a wristband with a button that stops the augers from moving, it seems like a simple device to make. If not a wristband, we could install the button on a commonly used tool. We could even make it voice activated too. So if someone yells "help"/"stop" the auger will turn off. Would any devices like these be useful? Or is the issue mostly that people suffocating from the pressures of the grain and help cannot arrive fast enough? As a engineering student from a city, (who knows nothing about farms and is learning how to build devices like these) I feel like there has to be some better tools/systems/devices that farmers can use to help mitigate accidents

New subscriber here love this channel

Comment as requested :-)

That is good

Nice job.

Your douters very cute voice is very very cute

It’s very simple I see MN millennial farmer video I click faster that John Deere combine

#MillennialFarmer2020

I like your farming i am indian farmer best of luck

Andy from the uk . Zack you are spot on and the dog’s are happy to

WHAT MN FARMING

REEEEE SPECKS ON LENS

Is this channel anyone else out for Covid BS

Bing on a volunteer fire department that is great of you for doing this

Could you weld a handle on those rods? That wouldn’t fix the rust. Spray it before you fill the bin?

That chain is dicked. Wayy too tight

Awesomeness

Love the content. Wish I could stop in and give you a hand some day.

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

thanks

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

Quite the beetle at 11:15, I would imagine the amount of protein that one gave you would hold you over until dinner.

Just subscribed, like the videos and what you are doing to help with emergency rescue.

Had both my knees done 15 years ago ,best thing I ever did. Thank you for your videos ,they are very informative to us "city folk"

Your house back yard is like a public highway can you do a video of how you keep your children safe.You showed how you stopped your dog from going under unstable trailer.

My mother is going for her second knee replacement

Great channel.

Hi Zach

God bless you and your lovely family for doing what you do e Rey day.

You missed the Clarkthapian Thamawapper.

thats great hope the support builds up fast cuz my late farmer step dad always said over and over how dangerous the augers in the bin area were, so good work .that was North Dakota, Sargent county, too.

Such a great thing you two are doing. I am on the Palo Fire Department just north of Cedar Rapids Iowa. We are waiting on our rescue equipment and we are really happy to have this on hand. Thank you for all the great content and thank you for your support.

“Holding that trailer in place?” 😂😂😂i use it with my guys when they hold a wall in place” I guess it works on all fields. Priceless.

great video

Good job

11:19 - Did you pretend to 'Eat The Cockroach'? ;-)

Hi I am a paramedic here in Minnesota and would love to visit about grain bin rescue. Thank you so much for all you are doing.

Hey

@Millenial Farmer - If you read this, I'm a tech entrepreneur based in Florida, and I'm wondering what your opinion is on what sort of technology could be used to increase safety in grain bins? Why do accidents happen? Is it that someone gets stuck and no one finds out in time, and therefore would monitoring technology improve safety, or is it more a question of prevention?

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.

The thing i hate most about farming is going in the bin. But on our farm we have preached bin safety for over 20 years we never go in the bin with grain in it unless there's someone at the door and if the bin is turned on we try not to go in either if we do go in the bin we always take a shovel with because a shovel is replaceable a person is not.

Love watching you farm

I have been caught in a grain bin and it's the scariest thing I have ever bin through (see what I did there?) It was like quicksand. The more I struggled, the deeper I went. Luckily my cousin was there and he was able to get a shovel stretched out to me and pulled me out. It scarred me for life. I would not go back into a grain bin again after that if if was over 3 feet deep.

hey onyx does the same thing i do fix small engines

you say the millennial farm giving back, yet now your begging for donations, that is not millennial and his wife giving back at all.

Dumbest thing I have watched! You didn’t even put the hammer back inline with the others! Hahaha long time watcher short time commenter love the channel keep it up!

I’m wondering why grain bins can’t be cleaned out with a pneumatic system. I’ve seen too many blocked/broken bin augers.

When it comes to fixing shit some times you have to fix it your self

Hello Bro How are you doing?

Love the channel. Love your videos. Thank you for all the good work you continue to do. Personally I’ve been looking for a similar channel for a long time, so when I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago I was the happiest.

What you are doing is absolutely amazing!! Keep the videos up👍🙂

hi

That so awesome on what you are doing. Being from a small volunteer department in Central Illinois , it the generosity of people like you that help volunteer departments survive. Keep up the good work!!!

that chain hasn't been oiled in a while! farmers make work for themselves.

Thanks for sharing. The money is going towards reactive situation. Let’s put money toward prevention. Education to farmers in lock out tag out. Confined space entry with harness and life line. Hole watch attendant outside. Teaching children not to enter grain bins. I appreciate tools for reaction but we can do more with being proactive instead of reactive. Retired firefighter. Current safety mgr large grain company.

We love your channel! We aren’t farmers but love watching. Keep up the good work 🙌🏻

Keep up the good content buddy 👍

Don't forget children. Many climb to the top and fall in and suffocate in the grain. That needs addressing. Good job Millennial Farmer!

Hey good video keep it going

Do the people who enter a bin wear a rescue harness and retrieval rope? If it is tied off a person may be able to pull them selves to the surface or a rescue team can get to you.

Just subbed great channel from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Man this awesome what yal are doing for helping with grain bin casualties.

Good on you zach and Becky for donating your money!

Oh ok

What

You've got dust on your sensor .. shows up bottom centre, so it's actually top centre.

you could cut a plastic 55-gallon drum in half to make a koffer type dam around the area your working on

first time viewer and i am now subscribed.love the channel.

Y’all gonna vote for trump

Grain bin safety is a big issue. Thanks for helping out!

Apparently commenting is a good idea. Blessings from Australia.

I lost a brother in a grain bin accident...I want to thank you...I just subscribed

Off the subject but how are you liking your mandako storm ? Guy here in mb told me you guys got one.

Great content your channel will continue to grow

That bug you "ate" at 11:15 was a bad example for all Everyone knows that with this virus you don't just pop it in your mouth without licking it off first.

Sup

As long as you brought up "Safety", here's another area you might think about: Seat belts! Sure, you aren't usually moving real fast but I bet even that Go-Cart has a seat belt! Here's a link to what can happen when not wearing one in a COMBINE!!! irmys.info/more/i2Wjg6phZammimk/fy-lm-h-y.html

The training is some states is provided by the state fire academy. The some of the equipment is expensive simply because it is specialized.

That dry chain looks like the perfect chance for a WD40 commercial!

We use vacuum trucks to suck up earth to make deep holes. Can a vac truck suck up dry grain? It might work pretty good, and you can lose the crappy auger design. Meh, it's probably been tried.

Nice to see you guys giving back.

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!

Please....Please....Please.... put your guards on the auger motors and belts. Little kids, dogs, yourself, whoever, need to be safe at all times. You can prevent an accident now by putting on all the guards. Please.

Done! I got you fam! Love the map on FS19

I lost it when you “ate the bug”😂

I have been to the class for grain bin rescue it is a good thing for you to know I'm on the Ovoun County Rescue Squad down here in northwest Tennessee we have the equipment to do the rescue and thankfully we have not had to use it. Sorry for the long post I was just glad to here you talk about it

Having been a medic and firefighter I can say this cause will help your area first responders tremendously!! Thank you for your heart felt help to first responders.

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!
