I think it’s a great idea setting aside 20 acres, and a tractor for your kids to run as an agribusiness. Great way to learn and prep for eventually running the family business. Even if they decide they don’t want to be farmers, they will learn how to budget their time. Farming work is never finished.

unfortunately they don't have the important safety things, that younger people don't think about ......Having done this sort of thing the last forty years , I have grown to appreciate the tractor immediately tuning off once the seat has dislodged the rider......other than the safety factor I totally agree with this learning experience Tony

Why wouldn't they want to be farmers? It's genetically in them! I think the hard part will be going from the great big stuff to the small stuff.

Your pops not getting the 2024 reference but then adding “I think it’ll go both ways” is just amazing

I LOVE the idea of having the old planter for the kids to farm with. Learning experience. Plus, I bet non of us would complain about anything ever again if we had to farm a few days a year with horses.

Exactly, I love the idea. I hope they will find one to push through with the plan.

As a non-farmer all I can say is “Much respect for farmers.” Unbelievable how many things you have to be good at to run the operation. Enjoyable when your kids are included in the work and watching how they participate. Great work ethic.

My late Uncle Art had 13 living children. 1 went into the Army and returned to Floridia to become the state leader rug supplier. The other children were farmers - milk cows and feed. Art was a large producer of Milk and Cream. His brother drove the milk trucks. The kids and Dad formed a Co-Op and all helped each other for equipment. They rotated on who buys what when. So no one had old gear unless as a utility use. Now all retired and the youngest is still working I remember her as a baby.

I enjoy your dad. I like seeing and hearing from him also.

Zach, climbing into the hard to get to places is what Onyx is for, that's why we had our kids and if they don't, they're out of the will. 😁

Your content has always been top notch that’s why I subscribe but the idea of the kids running the old equipment may be your best idea yet! I can’t wait to see it!! I always enjoy watching you and your dad working together too. I miss that with my dad and grandpa and it brings a lot of memories for me.

Glad to see y’all got some Sun ☀️… Dogs look like they’re getting back to normal! All the best for the rest of the Season!

Warms my heart to see those dogs are back to normal.

PERFECT audio track for that time-lapse!!! 😂😂😂

You are the best for the homeschooling comment about planting and farming with Minnie tractor. Keep rocking!

thanks to you, I have now gained interest in farming with my grandpa again. Thank you for everything you do and for everyone else. Im sure I'm not the only one, but you have influenced so many people. Keep it up!!!!

Zach I think setting the land aside for your kids is great, if you are gonna do it maybe also get them a disc for the Moline so they have to learn tillage on the old tractor also

The dogs rasslin always makes me grin and smile. Good to see them out and about being dogs.

Really love the kids farming idea. Great pratice.

Thst idea with the moline and your kids farming their own acres is the best idea I've heard in a while. Well done good sir

As always great job!! I look forward to every video! Many thanks !!

Time laps yard video! I'll go ahead and take creative credit for that idea and send an invoice. I'll take Coors light as payment.

Use that four row for planting sweet corn. Definitely get the kids to use it. Maybe more than corn. Whatever other vegetable crops that grow best in your area.

Hey Zach and Rebecky! Thanks for the video and letting your personality come out!

Loved the purse holder!😂

time laps music was great so are you and the family god bless😄😄😄🎼🎵🎶

Congrats on hitting the first Million mark.. may there be many more.. Much love and Thanks so much for Sharing

Small people mock what they dont understand. Bigger people seek to understand and move on, staying quiet and end up wiser for the time. It’s a great big world with all kinds of people. You don’t have to agree with them but it’s best to accept what they are and then try to get along with them rather than insulting what they stand for.

Thanks for another great video Zach and Becky. It was interesting and informative and entertaining. Wow. The old grain dryer is sold and taken apart and on the ground waiting for the new owner. Done deal. Glad you got it sold. Believe you said the new owner is coming with axles to move the old dryer in two pieces. Will be interesting seeing it moved. New dryer is going up-yeah. Will be a great new addition to the farm operation. Good luck finding that old planter you want for the moline tractor. If I had one you could have it for the kids project. Great idea to let them have some ground to grow and harvest a crop and see how it all works. Hopefully this will be an educational experience for them. Hopefully they end up with a profit. Great learning experience. Busy time doing this and that while waiting for the ground to dry for planting. Anxious to plant I know. Been there done that before. Anxious to see your new dryer setup!!!!!! Like the new shirt with the dogs on it. Will be a good seller I bet. Glad both dogs are doing better now!!!!!!! About it I guess. You all take care and be safe. Thanks for everything Zach and Becky. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

I love all your farm life content... but gosh... your dogs are so stinking cute.

I often smile when someone says they will pull a huge, heavy piece of farm equipment with a pickup. I think, “Good heavens, it isn’t the pulling, it’s the stopping that counts.” Just like the automakers touting towing capacity, and not even hint at stopping ability. In the late ‘50s my dad drove a fair distance pulling a rented trailer (not U-Haul and no brakes) to pick up our new barn cleaner , heavy chain and gear box with a 5 hp electric motor. There was a big downhill on the way home. About halfway down he realized that he couldn’t stop at the intersection at the bottom. He laid on the horn and swept through without hitting anyone. Brakes smoking. Stopping ability was important to me thereafter.

Thank you for sharing your life with us.J.Au-en

You forgot "elevens - 11am" or thereabouts - a drink (usually coffee) and tea in the field about 4-5pm -tea, coffee or pop to drink plus sandwiches and cake or biscuits to keep you going till supper time.

Great idea on the open tractor with a four row planter. They will learn to appreciate what they will have in the future more

I am really amazed of how well you and your dad are working together. No nagging comments or getting mad at each other, no conflicts whatsoever...on camera anyways. :) My son is 21 now and sometimes or lots of time unfortunately I catch my self getting loud at him when he doesn't understand something or did something wrong.

Bro has such a interesting sense of humor 😂😂 he’s all chill lol

I love the Timelapse music!

Makes my day one you post!

The thing about the Moline and the older stuff like that, is it will work if the stuff hits the fan. Hate to be gloom and doom, but it is one banana peel slip from where we are right now. A lot of farmers are restoring the old stuff to have on hand. If nothing else it is great for parades.

Coming from a retired crane operator awsome video.

Thank You Zach & Family for keep producing our food supply, don't quit, we are counting on Ya'll.

That’s such a good idea for the kids! Been wanting to see more videos with the old moline

Well that was the best time lapse music and it also fits you.

Do you ever have mustgo's for supper? My great grandparents were corn farmers in Slayton, MN (southwest corner) during WW2 and through the late 70's, they also raised sheep. I was born in Kansas in 72' but moved to Louisian in 79' and have been there ever since. We used to go visit them every couple years. While we were there, my grandma told us that we were having mustgo's for supper. I asked her what kind of animal is a mustgo and she said no silly, everything in the refrigerator "must go". We all had a laugh and I told her where we come from they're called left overs. I was just wondering if that is a common saying way up there in the Land of 10,000 lakes or is this just something she came up with? Anyway, I enjoy your channel and keep on keeping on!
