    McKenzie, you have learned almost every machine on the farm. Just practice, although the drama is great to watch.I know you can do it!! Yes, I want to see you run the chopper

    I hope your kids know how lucky they are to have mom like you. I’m 52 and my mom left when I was 6. It was tough growing up without a mom. However, not having a mom, has made me a better parent and appreciate the mom my wife has been. That was just God’s plan. You remind me of my wife of 30 years. She has been a great mom to our kids. Moms are truly a blessing from God.

    Wow what a strong young women. She stuck with it and drove a semi. Most teenagers would have run away and given up. You did great Kenzie. Give yourself some credit. You have seen and done more things than most teenagers do in the suburbs. Someday you'll thank the Lord for all these life experiences on the farm. God bless you and your family

    I'll be chopping corn on Monday. Right now I'm chopping corn on my friends. Some maize so high that in the field you can see the chaff tube.
    I wish you trouble-free chopping. 🛠

    McKenzie here is a tip for u when u back up u always wanna turn the wheel the opposite direction we’re u want the trailer to go then then follow the trailer when u are to the spot u want to stop and unload sometimes u gotta pull forward but that’s ok and when u turn corners turn wide until u clear the obstacle u will get better at it it takes time

    • @Adam_Poirier
      @Adam_Poirier Před 3 lety

      This is super good advice. First time I ever backed a semi truck, a guy told me to turn the steering wheel towards the mirror that you want the trailer to get out of. Now I’m in my 30s and I still do it that way

  • @rdyardie
    @rdyardie Před 3 lety +6

    I can appreciate your frustration Kenzie. You are doing well. I was about 12 when I was driving "old Beulah" on grandpa's farm. It was a flathead 3 ton grain truck. It even had mechanical brakes. I had to stand on the brake pedal to get enough force to slow the truck down. I did not go fast. I filled in when I was needed. I felt uncomfortable driving it but I coped alright. You show your feelings well. It is good to express your feelings. Forgive us for enjoying what you do. It is most likely that we empathize with you because we have been there at one time. Your mother is very patient. You will look back with fond memories when you get older. . . . It happens.

    if people didn’t know and just saw you they would never believe you have a grown family, you are a beautiful person inside and out! Blessings for a great fall on the homestead.

  • @keylargo2001
    @keylargo2001 Před 3 lety +1

    Rhonda just a little professional advise for you all. When you are off roading in a truck. Never place your thumb inside the steering wheel. Tuck it back so it touches your index finger. If for some reason your front wheels hit a hole, a rock, stump or what ever. That steering wheel can get ripped out of your hands quicker then lightning. If it happens you risk dislocating your thumb or worst. They are both doing a great job learning.

    farm kids never fail to amuse and impress. farmers and ranchers are just built different. much respect to yall. this was my second vid of yalls that i watched and as someone who loves driving stick shift, i can say one thing for Kenzie. it is incredibly nerve racking, yes, but with patience and a bit of practice, you can get it down and it will be like riding a bike. i know that im commenting this when the vid is a couple years old, so i hope that you have got it Kenzie and didn't give up after this.

    Tell Miss McKenzie she did great driving the Volvo. Like you told her, practice. It won't take long and she will want to drive it all the time. She is a great source of laughter which, we can all use some these days. Must have been hard not to laugh a few times, you did great holding back.

  • @stepark3437

    i have 2 sons and then 4 girls . The boys could always find the wet spot in the field . The girls seemed to end up crying and would make a wet spot. The fun of trying to teach and get something done. Know I have grand kid , Watching your family bring so many good memories back. My adult kids tell me that there memories are a lot different.They all have turned out fine and are busy raising there own families,and one is raising her kids on a dairy farm. One out of 6 ain't bad . For today.

  • @randyr.parker2698
    @randyr.parker2698 Před 2 lety +1

    You two kids need to realize how lucky you are. By learning to do the tasks involved with living on a farm, you're MILES ahead of other kids. You'll be smarter and MUCH more prepared for life, and the world. I grew up on a farm in the 1970's and 80's and there's nothing I can't do. When you grow up on a farm you learn a LOT about life. You're both doing great, keep up the great job! :)

    Nothing like being thrown in to a rig you never driven. Consider yourself lucky, I remember when I got thrown into an old Mack with 2 gear sticks, and nobody showed me how to drive it. Then drive it to the dump site. It was fun to learn the hard way.

      We call those neckin' knobs. Anything without power steering had them - which was most cars at one time - so that way when dating, girls sitting next to boys driving, boys had one arm free to put over their girls' shoulder. My tractor still has one. No buddy seat so no neckin' going on.

    The "Trials & Tribulations of Mackenzie!" The daily life of youth is a crucible, for their maturation process, that hopefully solidifies into a competent, well-rounded adult! Remember, mannerisms (are a very loud silence) that may reveal far more than had been intended!

    That look at 28.11 is worth admission that you could charge for. it was so great we were dying laughing. And Miss Mac don't feel bad at all we've all been there to some degree and got beyond it. It is so hard to operate or drive something when you're being watched with pressure on that's tough duty. I rate this video way up high close to the top if not. This will be watched multiple times. Cheers to all.

    Kenzie, you can do anything you put your mind to. Remember when you started driving the tandem, that seemed impossible and now you prefer that truck. You can do it, it'll just take some more practice. Keep that air conditioner blasting if that helps you keep calm.
