- 7 truckloads headed to the Ethanol plant. The most recent snow fall and broken truck tarp didn't make things any easier.

Nothing new in a couple weeks... Hmmm. My guess is with the super cold spell, the MF family is frozen somewhere in a field, or worse. Should we send in the Delta Squad? Some vids on how you northern people keep from dying in the winters up there would be interesting.
Will respond when thawed. Stand by.
Waiting too I just had to check to see if I was still subscribe to him 😂😂
Haha I check every day for new videos and love when there is a new one! Keep up the good work Zack!
@@MillennialFarmer Ya, nothing new for awhile. What are you doing up there, playing with your penguin? ..... Oh ya, what penguin?!
MN Millennial Farmer you are coming to the corn and soybeans growers meeting that I’m going to. Hope to say hi
I swear you farmers are so underrated y'all literally have one of the most important jobs in the world seriously I can't say this enough I appreciate what y'all do :)
growin corn to make ethanol to line their pockets is not important
Thanks for watching???? NO THANK YOU MR J for allowing us to watch, and for taking the time to make videos.... heres to a good spring 👍🏻👍🏻
I really admire the level of organization and amount of maintenance your family invested into your farm. the farm I grew up on was nowhere near this organized.
And here you were worried that you didn't have good content for the off season... This is great stuff, Zach! Loving the day to day operations of your farm, 365 days a year! 👨🌾🚜🐓
I’m so jealous of farm kids that can drive like, everything.
Whoever is the dork that disliked Zac, go find another channel. This is for the happy and grateful people that appreciate quality videos, like that quality corn he sold.
Actually, very very few people dislike his videos...you can not expect to have zero dislikes with 100k views.
Absolutely agree. I'm a retired (non farmer) American that's retired in the Philippines. It is a true pleasure to see how these men work compared to where we live now. Just imagine the hard work MF does plus the extra time and effort he puts into the great videos. I'm not there anymore but these videos help to stave off the the 15 years of homesickness I feel quite often. Keep up the great videos-they DO make a difference for good.
That's it! I'm selling all of my exercise equipment and putting a grain bin in my back yard.
Justin L. Good idea
Just go work at a elevator then you will get to climb up 120 feet worth of ladders to the bin tops
If you're in a good location you could rent the storage space out too. It might be a solid investment!
Weird
One of the great jobs of owing your own business. A lot of people don’t understand it’s all on you. 9-5 isn’t only time your on the clock
Your timing is impeccable. It's hard to believe how much we look forward for you to post. I know we ask a lot of you but it is so appreciated. Climbing the grain bend in the cold sure makes you look forward to the cab and heat of anything. Makes us appreciate how hard you work in the early and the cold and working all day. Stay healthy and safe for you and your family. You sure are good at what you do. Thank Jim for us we appreciate him as well. Thank Mrs. Johnson as well AKA Mrs. Becky
Deltaville Va
i love watching your videos. I love the part when you climbed the ladder, it was fun and ridiculous. I enjoy your subtle sense of humor that you litter from beginning to end, it's hilarious! Always happy to watch your content, and not just have it running in the background. Have an awesome day!
Thank you!
"This Thick Bristle Broom" took awhile but I mastered it and I can now say "This Thick Bristle Broom" 3 times fast!!! thanks Zach. as usual great video thanks for making it.
Hey I love the way you farm and you make my day better and I love the way that you put all the effort into recoding it thanks MN Millennial Farmer.
Yes I've been waiting for days thank you so much for posting you have no idea how fast I clicked this video
Ah, tarps.
Some success with zip ties, cut a small slice in each side of the split on the tarp, run a zip tie thru, repeat many times.
It holds for a while, kinda like sewing a tarp together.
Great video, enjoy the winter.
Always nice when you open CZcams to a MN Millennial farmer video. Hoping for a good year for you and the family. Also hoping for more videos.
Another great video to see what's new and going on ,thanks again for taking the time out day after day Zach!
Thank you farmers for feeding the world🙏🙏
Good vid Zach. Always something to do. Guess we’ll see more of you when the weather breaks. Looking forward to it.
Another gem Zach! Thanks for posting and melting away the wintertime blues. Sunday night is a great time for a video too...it kinda helps get me through the crud of another week of work. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas and New Year's. Thanks again for brightening the day with another great video! Can't wait til spring! God Bless!!
WOOHOO, a week of binge watching and I have just now watched every single MN Millennial Farmer video in order. I am now caught up and current!!
Nice!!
300k about to be here in no time! Great vid Zach always a good day when you post.
zack i have been watching you from 2017 harvest and your content is so factully correct about farming and i love that you really are getting the REAL message about farmers out to the world. and also keep making the BEST content. ::::))))))
Thanks for Sharing Zack. Look forward to more.
Can't wait for the snow to go and your harvest to resume. It so relaxing and makes my job looks too much more easy watching you do the hard work :P
Another good video love the one you did a while back when you toured the plant very informational
Great awesome video zach , it’s nice when your boss loads ur truck for u , and when I’m not feeling well I watch ur videos
Wow, hard work and cold. I admire what you and other farmers do. Thanks for the information and your "patented" humor.
I like that you work so hard but also make time for your kids
I enjoy watching these videos. I miss hauling corn so it's fun to at least to get to watch it. Thanks for the videos!
I heard a saying the other day.
“Love what you do and never work a day in your life.
Reminds me of farming/every day life.
Thanks for the January video Zach. I wish there were more things going on your farms.
“Up by Louie Larson’s right now.” That’s how we report our ETA in Minnesota! 👍
Burned out on CZcams...the true Onelonleys deserve more subs! ♡
I am a farmer in Norway and you are very good to inspire me😀
Thanks for yet another great video. Missed you. Keep them coming never a boring topic yet. 👍
MF, it is always great to have your faithful fur friend around, in good and bad weather, bless him!!!
Grew up on a farm in Northen Iowa, learned to drive with a 1963 International Loadstar, straight 6, five speed with a split rearend, 18 foot box pulled a 275 bu. gravity box. Heater crapped, made hauling in January turely fun.
Enjoy your videos. I am a retired farmer in Kansas and cannot go on without saying this. Don’t ever go into an inactive bin after a long delay without other people with you or a life line attached. I have watched you for sometime and feel you are very intelligent but I just had to put up the ⚠️
Was thinking the exact same, that half full bin looked scary from the top looking down. Climbing down into a grain bin must be incredibly dangerous if a farmer is on his own and has no help or backup if things go wrong.
@@richardwalsh1838 Whether its a grain bin or a confined space with just a huge air pig, once you break the plane of air your are commited, your partner should attempt a no entry rescue and call for help. Way points to attach and winch a life line should be put on before entry. Perhaps a safety video?
I agree with what you're saying - I worry about Zach's safety too. On the farm where my dad worked, if you had to work on a harvester (clearing blockages etc) you turned the engine off FIRST...…. NO exceptions!! Watching Zach work inside a harvester while listening to the engine running is properly scary...……...
@@tucobenedicto109 If he died we would probably have great video of what not to do! :-)

Your a hoot!!!! Thanks for the vids! Trees do look pretty!! It finally got down to 30 degrees last night in East Texas!!
I came across this channel couple weeks back, love it 👍🏻
I'm impressed with the crank to open up the slide gate in the bin, we always had a rod coming out and bent up or a piece of galvanized tubing coming out and bent up.
Awsome love the videos keep them comming. Just think less than 3 months it starts all over agin for us cant wait
"used a thick bristled broom " easy for you to say !
@R7 kelley
THANK YOU !
Ok, thanks for getting back to me. Great videos, keep them coming.
That probe reminds me of my wife when she's doing laundry. She's got her own FM meter that's attached to her eyebrows. Heaven help me if she ever finds corn!
Love the view of the frozen trees---Keep the videos coming
Man I would love that trailer, automatic tarp and automatic doors. I would think i would've died and gone to heaven, especially with the trailers that I have used.
Wait till you push the wrong button
Hello there,i’m from Bulgaria and it’s very far from Minnesota,i realy enjoy videos every time you post!!!
Thanks for the ride along
THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILS OF THE OPERATION.
Our local elevator added another dump station & it is fast. We don't have semis we have triaxle trucks. The first time I dumped in the new pit he told me to raise the box as fast as you can. That sure is nice. Averaging 3 to 4 minutes from weigh in to weigh out. That will really come in handy this fall when it gets real busy. Thanks for the video.
Smooth planned out operation.makes for good day.
looked pretty with all the frost... but cold... I guess cannot have one without the other. Another great vid, thanks for sharing with us all. Hoping you and family are all well :)
Very nice video Zach love your videos keep coming with the videos greetings from South Africa
Hello there, your videos are really cool, it's nice to see all the differences between American and Brazilian farms.
greetings from the "south", Brazil.
Love your videos Zach keep up the good work
Just joined your channel! Can’t wait to explore your videos! Thanks for inviting us along on your farming experience!
Hey, don't call out the tarp! We all know the cold causes... shrinkage.
Haha
Ha ha ha, very funny😂
BNSF Bandit hold up I did not expect you here
Why didn't they make remote control tarp rollers when I was working on the farm. I helped the son of who I worked for for 14.5 years 6 years ago and he had a remote control tarp rollers and boy that sure does save alot of time of having to jump out and crank the tarp before and after of filling the tractor plus they had the grain cart and combine full when I got back from town which was 18 miles away in one direction and I was able to keep up all day 7 - 9 except 3x they filled a 350 bushel wagon and someone else pulled that to a different town only 8 miles away. The reason I had to haul so far cuz he had it contracted.
What a fantastic video sir of what goes on in your operation and I mean you have a very big operation and have do's and don'ts thanks for your video.
This channel got me and a close friend into farming a little too much. We've been playing farming simulator nonstop and have binge-watched your videos together. We are both perfectly fine with giving up our lives to become farmers now.... the women feel otherwise.....
Great video Zach. I love that W900 KW. Sure is a sweet looking truck.
You're never to heavy till you get caught lol
It ain't loaded until you run it off three sides!!!
@@artayers2372 do that all the time I only now one way to load a hopper full
I used to drive for a reefer company...first time I pulled bananas out of Gulfport, MS. Nobody told me NOT TO FILL the tanks before I picked up the load...so, I was 80, 900. New Years Eve...heafed north avoiding interstate until in AL...at that time on I65N, no scales until the KY border...so had burned off enough fuel. Being green, I was freaked out.
Wow really. No wonder the roads in America are shot
Jerry Brandt lol if it wasn’t for all the trucking companies and owner operators paying ungodly heavy road use taxes they wouldn’t even be paved, so just be thankful.
Great vid as always. Thanks!
Love the cold starts
Great. Love the information on plant
Got a ton of homework... but now that you’ve uploaded It will have to wait😂
lol me everyday
You have a noticeably thicker Minnesota accent in the winter when you're cold :P
Hey there. Just found your channel and I myself am a fellow Minnesotan and it's nice to see what our farmers do and what it looks like. Nice video🖒
Went a bit of binge last night.Thanks for documenting your farm life.Kind of mirrors the logging story here. I don't here chainsaws like I used to, now I hear Beep, beep, beep of feller bunchers. Another millennial that gives me hope.
Great video! Nice to see how this kinda stuff works too.
Well you just made it in the Detroit Lakes paper, now your famous. Thanks for all the great videos.
It's funny how the trolls that vote thumbs down on your videos are always the first to watch them. I'm a city feller but I love your vids. I've learned a lot about agriculture. Thank you.
Hey man I just found this channel and I am really enjoying it. It is neat to see the process and all the hard work you and your family do to help feed us. Much appreciated and I subbed and tapped the bell. 👍🙏
This channel is the best I love John deer as we’ll. Btw I’m new to the channel but still every day I try to look at your videos. There amazing. So I liked subscribed and clicked the bell so I always get updated. Keep up the good work.🚜🦌
Thank you!
Same here for John Deere, also I liked your John Deere vs. Challenger video. Just that it was sad at the end, I hated seeing Challenger go.
Hey Zach, there's got to be something interesting going on since the vortex was upon you guys. Even a good family video would be great. I for one am just missing you guys!
