    Hi zach. I'm in high school and I think I made my decision of what to follow. I've been watching your videos since middle of 2017. Thx to you, you inspired me to pursue something I had little interest in. You taught me a lot about this stuff when I had very little experience before😀. Keep it up Zach love the videos.

    I was raised on a farm in the midwest in the 1950s. I have been watching these videos to find out how farming is done now. To say I'm amazed is an understatement. The sophistication of the mega-machines now is mind-blowing, especially the computer technology so you can know what is going on in the bowels of those machines. Of course, it is necessary to have all of the technology now in order to feed the billions more people there are now on the earth. This includes developing higher-yield grains and produce. Amazing.

    When your calibrating with the active yield activated. You can't do it with full tank. Or at least I couldn't last year. But maybe there have been a update. The scales can't weight the corn that is hanging on the sides of the tanks. But if you stay in the calibrating menu. It will tell you when to unload and weight that. It will be way more precise. Just a little help from Denmark.

    All too often we would get a heavy snow before the ground would freeze. We would have to wait for that snow to melt to get at the corn and we picked corn on top of ICE! If we ever broke through, we would bury the combine because it was goopy mud underneath.
