    It boggles my mind when someone from an urban environment moves to a rural / agricultural area and falls in love with farms and farming because so many people don't appreciate the lifestyle. I think it's fantastic that you do. 🤠

      My daddy was from the East Coast major city and my mama was from the mid Midwest about as different as could be.
      They eventually moved back to the mid Midwest. He did not go in the farming like his brother in laws but Did own Couple of hundred acres. This was in the 50s.

      @@JojoSnow01I grew up in Euless (you will know exactly where that is). My wife also grew up in Euless. Week 2 of COVID we decided to buy a small farm. Our kids built houses on this property. My in-laws built a house, here. Now, we are looking at more land (200+ acres). Not flat land. More like Texarkana region. I am more interested in farming lumber than food. Going from being a computer systems engineer to a farmer, I know what you are talking about.

    I’m from small town Texas. I had two young boys. Met my wife. She loved doing the outdoors things that I loved doing. I raised cattle and when it came to pinning cattle she would saddle up with me and pin and work cattle too. That’s been 30 something years ago. We had a son of our own. All the boys are grown. Now we have grandkids. Country living has been good to us. There’s no way we could live the city life. Thanks for sharing your story.

    Great story 💃❤️ I am a country girl and love living the peaceful life. I’m now 66 years old and lost my husband 8 years ago to cancer. I still live on the farm alone but have 3 adult children and 8 grandchildren that help me out all the time. They love staying here with me and we always have a lot of fun. I only have chickens now but still cut the hay and sell it to help out keep the farm up. I’m never going to move out of here and I know that my kids and grandkids will take this over. I love it here and always will.💃❤️💞😊

    Grew up in western Kansas; I know some people say it's only electrical poles and corn fields, but there's nothing like a western Kansas sunset; the sound, smell, and excitement of harvest; the irrigation motors humming as you slide into sleep; the straight green rows of corn that are blessedly cool to drive by on a hot summer day; and the amazing people that live with strength, tenacity, and kindness in the middle of all that.
    I moved to an area of the Ozarks from the plains; it was an absolutely beautiful area, but way too many hills and trees. I can tell anyone that wonders exactly where on what roads a person can find the "long views", the views where you can see across several miles of country so that, for a few short seconds, you lose the claustrophobic feeling and can breathe deep and easy.
    I lived there long enough to learn to love the area, but always felt most at home where I could see across the miles. Ended up moving to a valley that I can see out of that is surrounded by mountains; it's the best of both worlds! Also involves farming, which I really missed when I was gone from the farm.
    Biggest problem is missing the people that inhabited both former communities...

    This is a good story to hear, as I’m friends with 3 women right now who have recently lost their husbands. One guy passed away just one week after a picnic weekend at their house. He went to bed and didn’t wake up.
    And you two finish one another’s sentences as if only one of you were speaking. I so appreciate both male and female friends who I’m able to communicate with in a give and take. Too often insecure personalities are offended or threatened by another dominant personality. That doesn’t have to be, and you two are proof.
    Jo-Jo, sorry for your loss, but Zach, you have a precious heart to hold and care for now. Be that honorable man and step up to the plate.
    Thanks for sharing your story and being open and honest. You’ll go far if you remain on the path you’re on.

    You're not alone. I keep a running tally of the days since our 21-year-old daughter died, 7-years ago, and the grief never goes away, you just absorb it into your life. I allow myself to drop into what I call "the manhole" for a couple of hours on "prime number days". They are randomly spread out in the tally of days, and between those days I can manage stay in the light. Even after 7-years the darkness pulls every minute. As I'm sure you know. You have such clarity in your eyes. That's something that your Soul has given you, to help to fill the hole in your heart. That is strange, isn't it. Thank you for making these videos.

    Losing someone, to me is like a huge burning hole right through our souls. As time goes by, the burning subsides and the hole closes some, but always remains. Life however is like a quilt, made up of patches of people who come into your life and bind you together to make a family, friends, and the people they bring with them. When you lose one of those patches, the other patches become closer and the quilt gets a little smaller… You two are young and still building your quilts! Let God be the thread that binds your quilts so that it can only be made smaller by loss, not the unraveling of worldly wear and tear.

    Thank you for this video!! I am a new subscriber within the last few days and it is nice to hear how you both met. I have been watching your grief videos because I lost my mom 5 years ago at age 54. My mom grew up a farm girl but moved to the city with my dad so she always felt out of place. I am 37 and married and I always thought my mom would there for me while my kids grew up. I have two daughters and my oldest is 20 and my youngest is 6. I cried so hard when my oldest graduated high school because I know my mom would be so proud of her. My oldest daughter was the first grandchild so my mom loved her so much and loved being a grandma and my youngest was only 1 when my mom died so it has been hard explaining my mom to her since she didn't get to know her. Anyway I would love to work with my husband someday. My husband and I do everything together and have so much fun with each other. You both have a special bond!! I hope you always have that bond and keep the communication open always!! 💕

    Born and raised in South Central Kansas. When I spent a month in Los Angeles I felt really anxious and couldn’t figure out why cause I was there with friends and we were having fun.

      Agree! Not too much talking--- not for listeners like me. How do you relate?
      My wife and I met the year we both turned 26. We dreamed of living on a farm, so that she could grow a garden, and I could build a woodworking business serving the Urban area 50 miles, or so, away.
      I believe that greater forces put us together. I have ample evidence at my age of 71. We have suffered many catastrophes created by the modern world's demand for control and the lack of appreciation for people like these two.

Speaking of isolation, that makes you depend on each other more which is good for both of you. I was raised on a small farm in Va. and wanted to get away but the older I got the more I wanted to go back to that life style.

    My wife grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. She didn't know anything about farming needless to say. She was an incredibly intelligent woman and like a sponge when it came to learning. From accounting, operating combines, tractors, driving school bus, She did it all. And raised our son and daughter. Came to depend on her for so much.
    She was 5'0", 5'1" if she was mad at something (may or may have been me,,,occasionally.)

    When you talked about visiting the parents in Texas, hubby talked of the virtual claustrophobia of the trees and hills. I know exactly how you felt. I’m from regional Queensland in Australia where the countryside is burned dry by the hot sun so green grass and broadleaf trees are just not about. My first trip to New Zealand where everything is lush and green and hilly had me homesick almost immediately for the flat dry sunburnt land. Two weeks in New Zealand was almost torture that first time. I’m glad to say I outgrew that first reaction and have since enjoyed my subsequent visits to New Zealand. The other mind blowing experience was my first visit to Hong Kong. Having lived all my life where average population was less than 1 person per square mile, landing in tiny Hong Kong (where the airport was in the middle of he city) where average population was over 750 persons per square mile, I was super claustrophobic. Don’t get me wrong, I grew to love my two week work trips there but it was a shock the first time! But isn’t that what those experiences give us to enjoy and grow from?😊

    I came across your site today, and I can identify with the grief. Not personally, but through a friend in California who lost her son in a roadside murder. Her grief was everything you experienced, I'm sure. It was over a year before he was found, so you can imagine that heartache. It has now been four years and in the last two she found the love of her life and a rock.😊 She is a writer so her blogs were riveting and she has come so far! Anyway what really got my attention with you is I love ice baths!🥶 I look forward to seeing you again.

Remembering is always good. But hope for the future is the only way to keep going. Thx for sharing.

    A lovely interesting story, I stumbled across your channel cos I’m interested in farming, I follow Laura Farms, millennial farmer, welker farms, and now you. I’m not a farmer, just a pensioner living in Germany,and happy to watch anything to do with agriculture. I know I’m going to enjoy watching your channel. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

    The interaction between you two is so amazing. Glad to see others have found what I found in my wife all those years ago. This a great video! Finding what you want at a young age is the key. Congrats to you both. Heart-warming ❤❤❤

    That us an incredible love story. I could actually see it made into movie. A beautiful young wife experiences such a tragedy, thinks she'll never find a love again. And through choices and and a chance meeting, discovers a whole a new life and a man who gets her. One could that her deceased husband did not go through life a "crazy cat lady" and found Zack for you so you could have a joyful life! 😊❤

      Exactly! Being along for the amount of time I was after Kale was gone really messed with my head and anyone that says differently in my situation at my age, is lying. It’s not easy taking over a life you shared with someone after they pass.

  • @walkerdb84
    @walkerdb84 Před 9 měsíci +16

    Thanks for sharing your story! The 3rd "date" with my wife was chiseling ground at night in a Deere 4555. I knew we were going to do just fine. I went on harvest the next summer because that was a passion of mine, and she waited for me. That was 18 years ago. Now we have 5 kids, and it just keeps getting better.
    If you read this, great job on the editing. It's perfect to me. I love shooting video but it's so hard to set aside the time and edit. Keep up the good work!!

  • @johnellis1952
    @johnellis1952 Před 9 měsíci +7

    You 2 are so lucky. As time goes on you will appreciate your life choices even more. It's great that you each have some 'city' life to compare to because that will help you overcome the 'what if's'.
    Life generally is not easy but when you live life by contributing to your own existence (creating something tangible) instead of 'pushing paper' or 'climbing the corporate ladder', when you look back years from now you will appreciate the decisions you've made. You are living a life where having a 'partner' means something...continue to recognize that....treat each other well and never give up on it. I wish you all the best.

    Girl, you do you. Don't let anybody tell you that you talk too much. You are adorable and amazing and folks do not need to watch your videos if they are going to be jealous or nasty. I just started watching your videos for a few weeks now and your smile and light really cheer up my day. You rock!

  • @gregorytoews8316

    I grew up on a dairy and grain farm in Manitoba, so I don't intuitively grasp what a transition from city to farm is like. We farmer types think our lifestyle is just normal, so are baffled that people could be freaked out about leaving the city. We had city relatives who turned up their noses at drinking raw milk. I love hearing your joy in the transition to farm life. Finally, someone gets it!
    Manitoba is at least as flat as Kansas, though we may have more trees. In 1992 I drove a CaseIH 1680 for a custom harvester. We started in Frederick, OK in May, and finished in Veregin, SK in October. The biggest factory headers were 30', and some custom outfits were running 36' aftermarket draper headers. We had 3 combines, and a JD4450 on a 650bu grain cart (a 4450 is too small, even for 650bu). No one on our crew was under as much pressure as the grain cart driver. When the boss (on the lead combine) is impatient and short-tempered, the language on the 2-way radio can be very colourful. (Jim! For f**k's sake, get that cart over here! My tank is full!) 🤯
    In Kansas we combined around Bucklin, Scott City, and St. Francis.
    Neufeld Bros. from Inman, KS (JD 9600s) were a bigger outfit, as was Ray Taylor (CaseIH 1680s) from Lethbridge, AB.
    Keep up the charming and delightful content. Don't lose your warm, approachable style.

    Just wanted to tell you guys, when I was 18yrs I drove threw dallas on a road trip around the states, Dc is so flat and treeless that one day after hundreds of miles driving way in the distance I spotted a lonely tree. When I got close enough to it I took a photo and still have it to this day. Iam 66yrs old now and think of those great days often. You guys love each other every single day and always keep smiling. Great vid tks for sharing. Love from Northern Ireland. ❤

    Love your vids! I have a lot of catching up to do, tho. Had family up by Oberlin and have done my share of throwing hay and driving tractors and trucks. Loved every minute of it and totally relate to your farming experience. Lost my son 2 weeks after his 13th birthday in 1998 and still think of him every day. Never do get over it. Just learn to deal with it day by day. JoJo, I must declare that you prove the claim that the prettiest girls do come from Texas. So happy for you two! Keep the vids coming. And you could never talk too much! LoL

    Both of you are Awesome…….. it’s so refreshing to hear and see a young love not only growing but most importantly flourishing. Plus to have you do all that you all are doing for so SO many people, it’s just amazing.
    To be honest with you all there is way to many Americans that take Farming and all that Farming does for us all for granted.
    At my age I am enjoying your channel very much.
    Thanks again for all that both of you do and thanks for the awesome content!

    I can totally understand zakk, i'm orginally from above the artic circle and it was really really hard to get used to people when i went living in to town at the first time.

    Wow, @Jojonico01 - thank you both for sharing your stories of meeting/dating/'relationing'... It appears to be serendipity at least - and perhaps providence - that you even met under those rural circumstances - and then to be compatible, as well! Very blessed, indeed! I saw your channel in my feed maybe an hour ago and gave it a whirl; I am addicted to your natural/internal joy! Your videos lift my spirits, AND they remind this suburban boy of my time growing up visiting and working summers on my aunts and uncles farms in southern Minnesota. So. Many. Wonderful. Memories. Of. Farm. Life. Today, this chapter of your lives have you working on a farm. Tomorrow, who knows. But keep things simple, not too fast, full of wonder, gratitude, and joy! Thanks for sharing your experiences. CMA ~
