Not sure if you will see this Zach, but I used to work for a feedmill in Wisconsin and my leg got caught in an auger resulting in amputation. If he needs someone to talk to that has gone through a similar experience, I would be glad to help.

In germany a farmer lost both of his legs I think it was about 6 weeks ago. Had a blocked auger in the hopper while unloading and they were trying to clear it...he slipped and got pulled into the auger with both of his legs. Medical team had to do the amputation on site, as they could not get him out. Engine was running and auger still running, farming assistant was sitting in the cab, so the safety did not shut the engine off.

I use those predominantly as well, and they're just better than the others!

Sad to hear Zack, praying for the young man. 100% agree with all of you staying safe and I hope all of you have great success with your harvest.

Zach your Father comes across as the nicest mild tempered man you’d ever want to meet. It’s great to see 5 and 4 working together so we’ll. Here’s to a safe and prosperous harvest!

Prayers said for Travis and his family. BE SAFE EVERYONE....

That sneeze at 5:10 really got me! 😆

3 years ago in July just a week before my dad's birthday, him and my uncle that he farmed with we're cleaning out a grain bin to get ready or the upcoming crop in the fall. He went up into the grain bin and had all of his safety gear on. Unfortunately he never made it back out alive. They had to cut a hole in the side of the grain bin to empty all the green until they could find him. It just goes to show you that no matter how careful you are things can always happen. Thank you Zach for all your videos. It has definitely made me a huge advocate for grain bin safety. Although myself I will never use another one again as long as I'm farming.

Hopefully they figured out what happened to cause your father's death of which I am sorry for and someone can learn from it... I know things hurt in life but I hope that you in life learn from say for example an unfortunate fender bender car accident and become a better defensive driver instead of parking the car and never driving again... I'm sorry about your families loss i can tell you really loved him... best wishes

It amazes me how much you have to know ....about everything! Modern farming is soooo calculated. The amount of knowledge you have with all your various operating systems blows me away! Well done and much respect to you and your family!

Nice of you to share the Go Fund Me.... Donated and I hope the man does well!

Donated to Travis' gofund me, thanks for the heads up. With your platform, you can make real change. Good on you Millennial Farmer and family.

Best wishes to that injured farmer. And also all the best for a successful 2023 harvest.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the young farmer and his family! Hate to hear about stuff like that and hope when all is done he can make a great recovery and be with his family!

Thanks Zack again and again for explanaing what you do and how you do it, love the way you and your Dad get along as the best days of my life where working with my Dad, Dad has passed on and I miss him dearly so enjoy your time with Dad, be safe and we will be praying not only for the injured Farmer but for all expecially this time of year when it's so dangerous (from Canada)

Prayers for the young man and his family

All the best to the injured farmer. I hope he pulls through with as little damage as possible.

I hope you're crops improve. And I hope that young man heals and can keep farming!

Prayers and love for Travis & his loved ones.

We made a manifold for our air system filter. Amazing what running multiple filters can do! We get better airflow and the filters stay a lot cleaner.

I think that new Thunderrr trailer underlines the complexities of being a farmer. The equipment that you have to have just to support the other equipment that you have and the knowhow to use it all. My hat's off to you Zach, your family and all the other farmers out there that keep us fed and healthy. Thank you.

Good old Millennial Farmer during harvest time as appreciated for a couple of years now. Keep it up! Thank you all the way from South Africa.

How is Jim doing really miss him being on your videos. I'm really enjoy watching these videos hopefully things continue to go well during this harvest working short handed. 🏁🍻

Love seeing your dad in videos he’s a legend

Prayers for the injured man. Keeping all farmers in my prayers 💕🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing about the tragedy near you and for the GoFundMe link. It was an honor to donate and help out this young family as their life has now been changed forever.

Hope you guys have great harvest! Stay safe!

friend of mine couple years ago. walking across feeder house cleaning windows with platform running slow another man oiling gathering chains. foot slipped lost leg from knee down. one of the safest farmers i know in my 70 years. happened so fast. please one and all be carefull

Prayers for the gentleman and his family. We all need to be very very careful. Having been in a severe farm accident in the late 60’s. It happens in the blink of your eye. The Good Lord Was Not Ready For Me. God be with Us All During our stressful time of harvesting 🙏🙏🙏

I have always enjoyed watching your videos thank you for sharing

Hey Zach, always enjoy watching you. So sorry for the down corn. We did that 2 years ago. Bummer!! Also enjoy seeing Onyx. Miss watching him grow. He’s such a great kid. Best wishes! God bless 🙏🏻😀👍

Praying for him and you guys also during harvest 🙏. Just remember slow down everyone needs to go home to family safely. 🙏

Was close with the Harmless Farmer (Andy Detweiler) here in Ohio who lost both arms at a young age from a auger shaft. Not just bins, make sure safety covers are on all equipment. Quick slips are everlasting. Stay safe farming fam!

Love your harvest videos and between the rows racing even more. Racing at Humboldt which I spent many Friday nights as a spectator is awesome! Laughing at myself and the evolution of equipment, had a 7700 two wheel drive with a 6 row corn head on and the rear tires came off the ground feet every time came to a stop

I'm sorry to hear about your neighbor. Earlier this year, my neighbor lost his middle son due to a grain bin accident, he was only 42 years old. He was a volunteer firefighter for our township here in Michigan.

Please keep us informed on Travis. The video was awesome. thank you

My God Bless this Family.

I just put in a donation. Prayers for Travis and his family. What an amazing thing on gofundme, was over 92k when I last checked!!!!!

I don't think the general public realizes the peril you farmers put yourselves in, everyday when farming. The equipment, and such, all have their dangers. Keep safe!

Thoughts and prayers with him and his family

Nice way to start lunch! Watching you work...😂

Saw a couple of brand new Thundercreek trailers going down the highway Sunday, couldn’t help but say “Thundeeerrrrrrrrrr” 😂

Be safe. Yes u fortionate. Sad deal for the family. Dreams are now shattered. Thanks for participating in the program for aid.

He is very inspiring, I admire his passion

Prayers for Travis that he has a quick recovery!!!

We always ran accelerator in low speed in all crops, fed better, regurgitated less crop and split less seed!

Love you dad's gloves, My dad wore those same kind!!

Prayers for Travis and his family!!

Prayers for the man who was injured. Another thing that should be added for the non-farmers. Watch out on the road, it's harvest season, lots of farm equipment on the road, drive safely and sensibly. Give the equipment and farmers some room.

So sorry to hear about the young man, just be careful during harvest guys.

My favorite time of year is here!!MN harvest videos and deer hunting, with ice fishing and coyote hunting time coming around the corner.

Thank you, and be safe 🙏

You're a good man for sharing that gofundme. I'm sure the difference it has .ade will give that family the support they need. Best of luck on your harvest.

Hey Zach, it has been a while since I watched a MF video, just sidetracked with other stuff, but I watched this whole vid this morning, and it was like coming back home. Good to see everyone is doing well, I will be watching all your vids again from here on. Have a safe and successful 2023 harvest!

You guys got some bad ass equipment nice and clean. Keep up with the great videos.

Your a good man Zach. Appreciate your content,I'm so glad I found your Chanel,be safe.....

Getting started on harvest always seems to have its challenges. Cherish the moment working with your Dad, I've lived more of my life without him than with him. Keeping the injured person in my thoughts and prayers. Despite our best intentions and careful work habits, accidents still can happen.

Great video Zach! Be safe and update us on how Jim is doing sometime. It's not worth it getting in a hurry around equipment or bins. Anytime I hurt myself It's because I was trying to save time, cut corners and it bites me! Watch your pets around heavy machinery too! As they get older their eyes and ears aren't what they use to be.. Stay safe!

As far as safety goes, there's an old saying among truck drivers, You can go down a hill too slow a million times but you can only go down it too fast once. You might go into a grain bin a thousand times without anything bad happening but you have to remember that something bad could happen every time you go in. A man just died yesterday in Wisconsin when he was buried by corn silage. Another thing that happens in rural areas is people ignoring stop signs. I've often heard people say, "I'll stop twice for it next time." Just a week ago a woman failed to stop for a stop sign and a man on a motorcycle hit the side of the vehicle and was killed. Back in the 1960s near my grandparents farm, a woman and her daughter were on their way to church on a Sunday morning when she rolled through a stop sign in front of a milk hauler. The tank was half full so when the driver tried to turn to avoid them, the milk went to one side and the truck rolled over the car killing the mother and daughter. That has always stuck with me so I stop at every stop sign and look both ways. I am always watching at intersections to see if any approaching vehicles are going to stop.

If you need a ventilator for unloading Pits, Harbor freight has the ventilator fans and fabric vent hoses. Maybe not in the local store, but they ship well. Or transfer well. Confined space gas detectors are optional if you ventilate well and long enough.

Having many friends who are farmers, I continually pray for them.
