@@Grumble_ I grew up in northern Alabama, Roll Tide!, on a family owned farm. I picked cotton leftovers after the combines took all the easy boles. That was an after school job for me and a lot of my friends and family. We had 40 acres, corn and soybeans. A relatively small farm. Grandma kept half an acre for herself, tomatoes, cucumbers, turnips, okra and such. It wasn't an easy life. Grandpa worked outdoors every day. We kids worked every evening after school. Mom had a job in town, a real job, with health insurance and all the other benefits. Grandpa got sick one day, had to go to tbe hospital for the first time in 40 years. He had a bad heart attack, it left him crippled. Hiring hands would cost more than the farm made. We tried to make it work, but the only way would be for one or two of us kids to drop out of school and take over the daily work Grandpa did. He sold the farm when he heard this. His reason was to keep us in school, and build a better life than he had. A few of his grandkids didn't turn out so well, a few did okay, I'm a mechanic looking to open my own shop, a niece of mine has her own cleaning buisness, there's a cousin doing good, truck driver that owns his truck.

I worked for an industrial plastics company for 45 years, I was a member of the safety team, at the start of every 12 hour shift we had a safety talk and reviewed any near misses and accidents within our plant. Surprisingly it was outside contractors having the serious accidents. Next forklifts then trucks. Safety training and awareness was top priority. Suggest a safety bulletin board and lockout tag out when working on conveying and electrical equipment. Farmers care and your family cares for all farm workers safety.

that stop sign really outdid itself there, glad that everyone is okay!

The greasy side only saw a little daylight. As long as everybody got to go home, that's all that's important

Incidents do happen, fortunately no one hurt and your lead to Safety Culture is the right way yo go. Well done!

That background sunset and lighting is just wonderful. Great timing for this content creation event ;-)

I think Glenn's needs to invest in some newer straps and clevises. Popping a strap with a fully loaded trailer might just be due to age and wear, but opening a clevis is definitely a sign of using the wrong tool for the job. Glad your getting it picked up off the ground !

Welp, things happen sometimes. My boss likes to tell me, 'if you aren't breaking something, you aren't trying anything'. While I don't take it literally, I like the sentiment.

I guess I'm gonna have to be the one to say it those recovery guys had no idea what the hell they were doing. Thank God nobody was hurt glad everybody is home safe

Zack even better is when you get up to go to the restroom and come back and someone else picks up the tab. Best analogy. Glad no one was hurt from the accident.

Safety neeting: Guys, the tires stay on the road. Meeting over.

Sticky side down Not that far down dangit

When you noticed that a lot of work got done when you were out of the picture, I thought of the time Charlie Brown was on the injured list and his team started winning baseball games. But that would mean... never mind.

I've seen chains in similar circumstances snap much more violently. Once a link snapped in half, each half going different directions at high velocity. One half got embedded in a tree trunk. No laughing matter. Anybody that doesn't think this could have been more serious hasn't been anywhere. Glad you're all safe.

Lol "were not going that far is not like we're going to rapid city" I used to live there!

The reason your dad is driving the newer fancier combine is because he said so. Dad still always has seniority rights no matter how much the son is taking over the business.

Unfortunately in trucking, especially ag related trucking, there are some really sharp turns you have to make where you lose sight line of the trailer, so you just swing as wide as you can and hope for the best. It usually goes fine, but it only takes once for everything to go south in a hurry. Maneuvering milk trucks around dairy farms at night can get especially interesting at times.

I haul grain and work on a cash crop farm. I know how interesting this time a year can get. I go to alot of tight roads and farms. The truck I drive a load is 1600 to 1700 bushels per load. This time of year is no joke. Play safe all and let's just slow down one or two notches.

That is the strongest stop sing I’ve ever seen

Love watching the relationships of all the folks involved with the farm-warm, respectful, and time tested!

The good thing about these Mondagos goes is that they can find treasures in your field that give you a flat tires.😂

We didn't hear a thud ! Good to hear there wasn't more damage to tour KW and grain trailer

I so wish Ron Pratt was near with his rotator! Felt like I was watching one of his recovery videos during the intro!

Just thankful nobody was hurt, buddy!! Gotta slow down and be safe above all!! Snowing here in Wyoming yesterday and today. Supposed to get 8-12 inches

Holy Crap.

Glad everyone is okay Zach! Nothing better than getting done with my morning college classes and coming home to a new Millennial Farmer video!

I agree, Nothing beats coming back to the table and your food is waiting for you 😂

Started watching your videos recently and love all the content. I always thought I would enjoy farming but I never had the opportunity while growing up. Got to help my uncle on different occasions cutting beans and wheat. Tilled some and pulled a cultivator. Had a blast. Those times are gone now unfortunately, in my 60's and not as agile as I once was.

This is what happens when equipment gets bigger and roads don't. Quite a lot of roads around farming areas are very narrow, makes farming vehicles manoeuvres very tricky.

@@randommaniac245 Different geography and logistics. In the U.S. trucks haul far longer distances and usually don't have to deal with difficult terrain so they are built to be more efficient and comfortable for that. You'll see Scandis and such in jobs that accent the advantages of a shorter frame or combo trailers but they are vast minority here. These trucks are second hand trucks that have hit their end of life service for road haul and thus cheap in comparison for farmers to buy to haul their own corn. Which often means they aren't day cabs but sleepers which they don't need and thus longer frame. Day cabs in the U.S. are actually a lot more expensive as they are a less commonly built truck.

@@Cragified Quite opposite,you could have bigger combos cause you have plenty of room and wide roads.Our trailers are actually longer here,than the one ditched in video..Efficient? European trucking has the efficiency far better than americans,and i disagree even in what comes to comfort,we use modern trucks in here.I had a good talk with finnish driver who drove few years in Canada and US,quote "They are stuck in old cowboy style,and not willing to move forward."

@@jackmarinagaming No he didn't have, when we see it, then yes it looks like there is a lot of room on the left hand side. However, the information from Zach shows that there was a neighbor pulling a farm implement, so unless you intend to ram him off the road, the amount of room you have is significantly less. And passing may not be as easy either, remember you cannot pull off into a field you do not own either, that is also a big no no.

No farmers want to lose acreage by donating it to always incompetent govt. Better would be to extend culverts, add base, and make wider turns as the roads allow...

It's neat to see a different perspective on farming...not that I do any of it. I'm subbed to Cole but I'm glad I found this one too. I can feel the pressure you and the team is under but the small relief when things go right. Gotta take the wins where you can get em'.

I think a shirt in Jim's honor is over due. Something like simple like " It's Jim's fault " lol, glad everyone is ok, parts can be changed, good people can't be.

I just love watching heavy machinery ❤️‍🔥 Especially Semis and 1000+ Size Harvesters and Tractors 💖
