Our family has been in farming for generations, and as such, someone had to keep the line going, it's like a given now. My brother, took that role, as caretaker, and i went on to pursue the other side of the family in architecture. But there isn't a single day, when he's in season, that i don't fear getting "that" call from my sister in law. Because, as you can imagine, our family having been farming so many years, we've had our share of fatal accidents. Personally, i put farming up there with the two other great professions, medicine, that heals us, architecture, that houses us, and farming, that feeds us. Without these, we'd never be what we are today (Engineering too, but we never admit that, because we're petty, us architects).

This is true my dads best friend was harvesting soybeans and I don’t remember what happened but he thought he knew what he was doing and left the header on and the header grabbed him once his arm got hung he was already gone the sad thing was that his son was riding with him at the moment and he was the one who called 911

First off I am so glad you are relatively ok. Brought back some really bad memories of farm accidents for me. When my son was 15 years old he was driving the skid steer with a load of dirt down a hill with the bucket too high. When he tried to slow down the machine tipped 90 degrees forward causing him to fly forward. Luckily the shoulder harness stopped his whole body from going out but one foot ended up outside the cab (no door and he was not wearing the seat belt). Somehow his right foot got crushed between the bucket mounts and and frame. It was a long and painful recovery but he is just fine today. The second story did not end well. My dad was replacing blades on a rotary mower, had it jacked up on one side and supported with a fence post. The post slipped and crushed him. My mom found him. He was 79. Farming is inherently dangerous but slowing down and thinking things through can prevent most accidents.

Accidents happen. "Show me a guy who doesn't make any mistakes and ill show you a guy who's not working hard enough!"

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but Millennial farmer Zach just posted that his daughter Isla broke her arm too. We will keep both of you in our prayers!

Hey Scott sorry hope you get better soon looked like a horrible accident thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Glad you're ok Scott. You hate to see farm accidents like that but its the reality people need to see to realize farming isn't easy and crap happends. Best wishes to you and you're family and a speedy recovery.

If it can any comfort to you, I had the exact same injury 45 years ago. I snapped both bones in half in my left forearm. It healed back stronger than ever and I have never had any problems, pain or arthritis from the injury. Get well soon buddy.

Nick don't worry about making videos right now, family comes first. I said the same thing to the millennial farmer. His little Isla broke her arm at school. So take all the time you need. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.

Leg arms 80% strength is still 100% of most Americans. Montana Strong.

While that accident was bad it could have been so much worse. Here’s to a full recovery by spring

Scott in 2009, I rolled my 3 wheeler 185 Honda. I dislocated my right shoulder like you remove a chicken wing. I drove myself to Glasgow, they flew me to Great Falls. Dr Greg Pike fixed me up great. I hope that you get as good of recovery as I did. Leg Arms has a ways to go! I am praying that you have 100 % recovery. Do your physical therapy every time that you are supposed to do it, or more. Good luck Scott. I want to see Leg Arms in the shop. Hello from north east Montana.

Yikes, glad he's going to be ok, absolutely brutal injury, thank God he wasn't laying under that thing.

So big bud and leg arms both got some new steel plates. So glad he's doing well.

I’ve never clicked on a video recommendation so fast. Prayers for Leg Arms recovery.

As a retired diesel mechanic in the heavy duty trucking industry for 44 years, I crushed my foot after about 16 years "on the floor." It happened as fast as what you experienced, and it ended my career. (to punish me, they made me a manager for the rest of the time. . .) To anyone doing this kind of work, let me remind you all that it is SO important to keep "situational awareness," of what you're doing, because a single moment can be a monumental change. (I was also working alone in the middle of the night when my accident happened.) Scott, glad to see you've come through this, and I'm sure you know they'll be a ton of rehab to go along with it, (not to mention that security at the airport will be a challenge from now on. . .,) but thanks be to God, it could have been worse! I saw this on your Instagram much earlier than this video posting, and have been praying since then! Hope your healing time goes well!!

For Isla, for her it is a slightly different story. This is down to age and the bone growth. Isla also has more than 2 bones and her fracture is a complex break as it is on a joint. Hope both make a full recovery though

Legarms and Grandpa Millennial Farmer should do a "convalescent" show together and then have Andy Detwiler come in at the end and tell them both to "get back to work, they have mouths to feed." Do it as some form of kick start to an ag based fund for farmers hurt on the job.

“Who Broke It Better Leg Arms or Isla?! Leg Arms, no doubt!”. Scott your break is the better type to have. She really busted up her elbow.

Man, that first shot of leg arms in the hospital was rough. You could tell he was in pain. I'm glad you guys can find some humor in the situation.
