- On this special video the two bosses walk us through the history of the farm from before its beginning in 1936 all the way through the present. Full of old pictures and videos with a tractor tour through time with the aid of all the toy tractors and combines on the shelf in the office.
Quote in the opening frame belongs to Sir Issac Newton..... I think
Ivers farms is a family run farm located in Southeastern Illinois and southwest Indiana. Established in 1936 with a traceable lineage to potato farming in Ireland in the 1500’s
Feel free to ride along with us as we continue the family tradition.
Reese what a great video. Thank you for making it! Love your family stories.
You are part of a very respectable family I think. Love watching All your videos.
that was an awesome super video from beginning to the end
This one is my favorite
You guys should make this a down time or rain day thing, history and stories with the Ivers. I wish this video was longer
I have talked about doing a live with everyone sitting around the table talking
It was a quick 38 minutes, wasn't it??!!
I really like this show to know how the farm got started did a great job i like the picture of m with the picker dad had one of them.
This one is my favorite
Family is everything
Thank you for your service Morris and his father and now your cousin. Semper fi tough dudes. Awesome to see a family farm/business be successful and through generations. Family is hard to work with ha! The videos and pictures are amazing to have and for those times. Can’t erase history. Good video keep making them
This is one I’ll rewatch for years
Awesome video Reese, great to hear the stories of your Dad and Uncle George building the farm to what it is today, many tks for this history of your operation 👍💖
Reese, thanks for this! I only wish it were longer, I could listen to your dad and uncle all day long, what memories. The flash back pictures and film remind me of my grandfather and my dad farming when I was a kid in the 60's. The equipment of today is amazing. We never had a cab on either the combine, swather or tractor, ate a lot of bugs and dust. Keep the videos coming.
It could of went for hours but my self imposed deadline of today kept it to 38 minutes.
I don’t know if I could of handled the combine without a cab
Always good to know where started. The joys of increase grain price everything else goes up so voids the increase grain price.
You got one year to make the most of it
@@iversfarms I still think it's funny when we had $7 corn. seed price tripled salesman said because of market, than price dropped to $4 seed price stayed same. Knew we'd pay or not grow any crops
Love the family history !!
Lots of cool history there, thanks for sharing. Those guys have earned themselves a Bush Light!
Don’t get bossman started that he didn’t get any of the corn beers
@@reeseivers9963 WOW!! A entire skid, and he never had one??? That Bearded Duck!!!
Thank you for taking time to tell your families story. That was absolutely fascinating! I used to help out on my uncle’s farm during harvest when I was younger. One day he hooked the stock chopper up to a International 1206 and put me on it for a whole day. He wanted me to appreciate today’s cabbed tractors. I lost count of how many times corn cobs hit me in the head. That said it was the greatest day of farming I have ever had. Love your channel and keep up the great work.
Thanks
I really enjoy the few days replanting in the open cab in the 6 rows. Makes you feel connected to the past but too many of those leaves me wanting for the luxuries I’ve become accustom to
This video is a treasure for your family... my take away from it is that most very successful grain farmers talk about how they used to milk cows and guys that milk cows talk about they can’t pick up any dirt 🤔
😂😂😂 yeah this one is for me and I’ll watch it for years and years.
Really enjoyed the history!
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the history of your family farm. Nice job Reeses!!👍👍
Anybody doing anything in your area?
@@iversfarms No not yet. We'll be spraying our 500 acres of wheat soon hopefully and planting about 100 acres of oats end of March beginning of April if the weather cooperates? Story of our lives huh?? Lol
I found you just a few months back, say august 2022. I was wondering about exactly this. Thank you.
It's important that our friends that are not familiar with agriculture are enlightened with how humble the beginnings of the farm were only a few years ago. Keep up the good work and looking forward to a sequel in the future.
A lot of worked put in it, especially a few generations back
This was a great interview...
I thank the "Bosses" for giving your channel context and clarity. What an amazing family story that is part of the American fabric. They not only explains your family's history in farming, but also explains why American farming is the most productive in the world--hard work, blood, sweat, and tears--along with the willingness to embrace changes in technology and methodology over the decades.
The American farmer is a special breed. Especially the ones that came before
It was really interesting to hear you guys talk about how you guys got started, like how my Dad and Grandpa started in the slaughter house business!
Being well aware of how much effort it takes to put together a video like this with all the inserted photos and clips, I really appreciate this video,,, and your family will for generations to come,, I hope :)
You boys have definitely earned everything you have and it sounds like the future is bright also. Thanks for your service and keep doing what you’re doing because it’s obviously working.
I just started viewing your videos last month February 2022. You guys are very hard workers, The fact that you all get along is amazing. I have watched numerous videos so far and have not heard one cuss word, that is AWESOME
Great video. Not only for us to get to watch and learn some of the history of the farm but also for your kids and family to have and be able to watch later. A lot of stories and history gets lost in time, good way to preserve them.
That’s the main reason I wanted to do this one
Thanks for sharing , you have alot to be proud of.
Yes sir
Loved seeing all the history! I remember your dad well, he had a great sense of humor just like you guys! He was a very hard worker, as you are today, and that is what makes you successful. You know I love you like family!
And we love you
I can see that Ivers farm getting wiser and wiser , more and more red equipment 😍beautiful video . Norwegian sheep farmer 🐑🇳🇴
😂 that’s one way of looking at it. How are the sheep?
What an amazing video! I can't thank you enough. My grandparents fled Italy after their farm was seized, and my grandpa fought in the Pacific as a Marine also. Personally, I have a 26 year history with the Marine Corps as well.
Documenting this is priceless. So many truth's spoken!
Your story sounds incredible to hear. Thanks for your service and this video is my personal favorite
Awesome vid! Enjoyed the 'old' footage! Crazy the technology advancement of farm machinery!!
Gpa wouldn’t believe it
Man I wanted to be a farm kid so bad and be in the generation before me I would love it
Simply an OUTSTANDING video !!!!
Recently found the channel. Love it already. Always love hearing how other farms history
You make me proud to be American! Thak you !
Super cool Reese. This was awesome to watch!! Something to treasure for years to come.
Thanks lance, this one is my favorite
Love the history of the family and farm. A lot of different equipment through out years. I liked the part about hiring from the old folks home . Dennis is two years older than me, I just retired from trucking after 47 years. Keep up the great work.
Great video! I really enjoy the history.
Could watch & listen to you 2 gentlemen for ever not many people can grab your attention like you do wish i could have lived in your area hope you can do something like this again hats off to both of you.
What an amazing family life story!!!
Really good video I like herring how your family farm got started and see the toy collection very nice thank you
👍 👍 👍 Very cool to tell how you got started going back to grandpa. I bet he have some stories from WW11 I'm glad he made it home. I kinda wondered how and where you first started was in Indiana then moved to IL. Great content Ivers Farms Thank you taking the time to tell this.
Yeah, we’ve been split between the two states since the beginning.
I always rode with gpa in the combine instead of dad just to hear them. That and I got snicker bars
@@iversfarms Really enjoyed this vlog. Yeah good ole days lol. Really is something to see such changes in equipment since our grandpas era to now.
Just fabulous to listen to, love the history of farming and how your family kept up on technology, I worked on my uncles farm in western MN in the 80's and never got out of the 60's and sold off in 88 the worst of times for farmers,been in construction for 34 hrs now but still a kid at heart for farming love all the u tubers makes me smile 😃
80’s were a terrible time for sure
Hey all amazing history
I started watching, I'm guessing 18 months ago with the new episodes. This just showed up. What an awesome candid view of a family that works together, plays together stays together. Thank you so much 😀
I'm a fairly new subscriber and i was thinking it would be nice to learn about the family and growth of the farm. I'm glad I found this. Thank you for your service George and welcome home.
Love this video glad you recorded it, I've had these kind of conversations with my grandpa and dad wish I had them on video now thattheyare gone because you forget things, used to see you guys running around when I went to Lincoln trail for College back in the early 2000s
That's about when I learned how to drive tractors, around 8-9 years old. Started out on a Ford 8N loader tractor, Allis Chalmers WC, and the Farmall M was our "Big" tractor. How times have changed. Wonderful history video Reese.
Great video 👍
awesome video
Very cool video love the history
This brought great memories I was born raised in Knox county Illinois. And we farmed until 1974 when our landlord had died and my dad said he was too old to keep going and I was too young. I was born Feb.18 1956. went to ROVA high school in Oneida,Illinois. Great video
Excellent video and great history!
Awesome video thank you and thank you George for your service .
Interesting video. Farm history is so fascinating!
This is a GEM!!!! My sister is big in genealogy and history of our family. I will show this to her and she will say "YES that's exactly what I want you to do for us". It is good to have a record of that for future generations and for them to see where we came from and what we went thru. Reece keep up the good work and I look forward to the next glimpse into your lives. It is VERY entertaining and good to know the struggles are shared. It is good to be reminded that we are not alone out here in the fields of America. We have brothers in the struggle.
Yes, this is one I’ll watch for years and you should do the same. A lot of common stories across the heartland
Great video! One nit picky correction though. Instead of a CaseIH Cyclone planter, it's an International Cyclo planter. You "youngsters" don't remember those planters. I say that jokingly, as I'm about 11 years older than you.
The first planter I remember was an IH 400, 6RN, planter, behind an IH Formal 656 gas tractor. We later had a couple 8RN 400's. One of them had Yetter row units, which were copied from the Deere 7000 series row units. The 656 is the tractor I learned to drive on, along with the Cub Cadet lawn mower. There's a picture of me mowing the sweetcorn down, with the 656 and a Woods Cadet 84 mower, when I was 7 or so.
Nice catch
And that’s real interesting
That is interesting my dad was the the winner of the corn shocking contest at his high school in Indiana. There wasn't anybody in Vermillion County that could even come close to his record. Somewhere I have some of his metals or pins he got
I found an article when I was looking for stuff about Gpa and some of his brothers going up to Iowa in the early 80s competing for fun as old men.
I wonder if they still do that?
Excellent,enjoyed the history and the toys!
Very interesting. Like how you have toy equipment displayed to represent equipment you have owned over the years
I really enjoyed this video. Family farm History is always something I'm curious about. Thanks for taking the time to make
I thoroughly enjoyed the story of the Ivers family!!!!
Reese, this was a great video! I knew all about the grade B milk. Bordens and Kraft bought it for making cheese. I love hearing farm history. I am in Dennis and George’s age group. I rode a lot of miles in a corn wagon behind the picker. Thanks again for sharing the Ivers Farms history.
Great video I wish more of the CZcams farm channels would do this.
I love all kinds of history
I think I missed this adventure/video. Glad you mentioned it in todays video.
You have a great hard working family. You should be proud. You earned what you have. And you mention being a God fearing man. Even better.
I enjoy watching your family adventures. God Bless you all.
Amazing video and history lesson. This will be really great for future Ivers generations.
This is a lot of history sitting at the table lots of priceless information
George that’s a famous Chesty Puller quote. Welcome home brother!!
This was so great to hear about your farm history.
Enjoyed the video and hearing about y'all history. The general yall talked about was chesty puller, he's from my home town and buried at the church across from my house. The marines do a 60 mile run every year to his grave. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you! Great video
Impressive story, thru all the difficult times with war , your family never give up. Always keep the head up and still going on. That’s the way to come to success. And you realy deserve your success. I wish you all luck for the future that many generations of Ivers go ahead and still successful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 And sure I hope to see more of your vids . Nice job and I love to see them. Thx for sharing your history
Bought a new 2150 16 row planter 3 weeks ago, was told if it hit dealer lot it was 3 to 5% higher when it hit the dealer ship, and yes stuff don't come back down machinery wise, glad to have thr new planter but dang expensive
They are outrageously high
Well done real enjoyed watching your farms history keep them coming 👍
Really enjoyed that
Wow just catching up on all y’all videos always like hearing the stories behind the farms amazing and thank you

Love the all the videos next time I'm around vincennes working for the railroad I wanna come tour the farm!!
Thank you. I really enjoyed the videography and photography footage you inserted.
Great video love all the pics and video with the history.
Wow great video. Amazing you had all those old clips
Reese thank you for sharing you family's farming history it was really cool hearing your dad and uncle talk about it. by the way I am close in age to your dad.
Great video, really enjoy hearing how your farm has evolved over the years. Good that you made the film when they were still here to tell the history.
So many times people say we should do that and something happens and it’s to late.
One of my favorite farm Chanel’s to watch. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I’m very happy we got this one done for that reason
My brother farms and has been very green for years but has ran red combines for the las 10 or 12 years.
Your transformation from green to red, is it based on dealer service, quality of equipment today. Just curious.
@@StarrMan1961 we are fortunate enough to have good dealers for both pretty close to us.
It was just price this time around. We prefer the red combine because of grain quality
Really enjoyed the Ivers Farm history lesson 👍
Thanks for sharing the great content.
So interesting! Thanks for sharing this with us. I always enjoy your videos.
Nice videos. Greetings from Turkey
Enjoy hearing from the other side of the world, thanks for watching
Awesome story of your family
I remember Stevens had a 2 track cat.. Don't remember y'all having one.. Can't believe y'all never had any masseys with Abels being in bridgeport.. We had pretty good luck with the massey combines.. I really enjoyed that video.. I went to school with Kelly..
I remember you saying that. I didn’t know Stevens had a cat. That was the first tractor my brother Garrett got to drive and I was so jealous
Very interesting, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍✌️
Great video. Thanks for sharing your farm history. It’s always interesting to here how it started and who is caring it on.
Great video- really love the history. I farm in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and your story really reminded of my own family and the history we have. Keep up the good work- found your channel a couple months ago and have really enjoyed it
Very interesting story loved it
I just recently found your channel and the first video I came across was the one you said there may not be a season 3 and I hope that's not the case been watching through the videos and came across this one really cool hearing your family's history. Our family farms in Ohio
Great job Reese i enjoy watching your videos and passing your trucks on the highway hauling grain as i work Haase Frams in Mt.Carmel i always hear David Haase talk abkut you guys lol but here is to plant21 guys be safe and keep up the great vidjas
Good luck to you guys
@@iversfarms and to you guys as well
This was awesome to watch!
Just watched it was great👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very cool and interesting video. Thanks for sharing!
I live in Louisville Kentucky I deliver up there Evansville I was coming down 61 and noticed your maroon Volvo who's the black headed guy with glasses that drives a maroon Volvo I got a picture out the side window of my van I thought it was pretty cool
What day? George has been driving it the last couple I believe
Absolutely fantastic! I was looking forward to this one for many months. I could've sat through a 5-hour one of these easy enough. I've always enjoyed your dad and uncle on your videos. That's neat the way you have the toys arranged. I never picked up on that from previous wide shots. How do you go up from here? I'm sure you'll find a way. Well done, Ivers! 👍 God's richest blessings to you all.
It could of been a lot longer but you got to stop somewhere.
Who knows got to peak somewhere and hopefully this isn’t it
Excellent
Very cool!
Enjoyed your video mimics my history. I farm with brother and father In east central IN and went to VU and remember trips over the bridge and levees. Good stuff in the mid 70s.
Hi I'm new to this channel. I love the sharing of your family farms history. And also want to say. Wauw do you guys run a neat place. I love it.
Very interesting.
Thanks Reese
