Jim laughing at every problem is the reason he's gonna outlive us all.

I bet you learned just as much from Jim as Onyx is learning from Jim. Jim is a real treasure. Love seeing him back in the videos!

Good to see Jim’s smiling face again, now we know harvest is coming soon

the farmer life, 49 percent farming, 51 percent keeping a positive attitude!! you guys are true STUDS!!

The more I watch these the more curious I am about the economics behind an operation like this. Viability and long-therm strategy seem embedded in everything you do. Great content, even for an non-farmer.

Sending prayers your way guys, appreciate everything you and all farmers go through to put food on our tables, from the bottom of my heart thank you!

Zack is a real man! You can tell cause when he pick's up heavy stuff, like all men he uses his back, cause you gotta save them knee's!!!! xD

In Denmark, we use something called "læ-bælter" which translates to shelterbelts. It's trees! Rows of trees between the fields. The purpose is exactly to keep the summer thunderstorms from ruining the crop. Most farmers maintain them with machines and keep the cut to about 3m in height. And some are just wild-growing trees. It is used more as you get to the sandy soil of western Jutland. Also, they plant less wind sensitive crops like potatoes. Also, the choppings from cutting the belts are chipped and used for heating.

JIM!!!!!! Glad to see him back. Very sorry to see the condition of the fields. Prayers sent to the family that lost so much on their farm.

Love seeing Jim in videos, reminds me of my grandpa who I miss dearly. Jim, your one hell of a guy! Prolly taught Zach everything he knows and now teaching Onyx. Great person

Really sorry to see how the storm affected your crops. Praying for all you farmers because we need you more and more. The videos are always good, thank you.

Glad you're all safe and weren't hit worse by the storm. Jim's back, woohooooo!!!

Reason very-large-number to like Millenial Farmer. You teach your kids to safely and confidently handle guns. I love farmers. Seriously, there are no better people on Earth.

All you can do is prepare for the worst and pray for the best. I admire your positive attitude regardless of what's happening. Best wishes from NW Ohio

Our weather here in germany was like exactly the opposite: a really rainy summer and now in the first week of september we finally got sunshine and 80°F.

So sorry to see all that damage for you folks that was always good to see you and you too kids all right y'all have a beautiful night and hope to see you guys again later

Hell , you need to just hook the planter up behind this rig, what’s 1 more attachment . It’s not that I don’t have faith in Zack but if this thing works like he wants it will be a miracle!

Farmers persevere. That is why we all tune in. ;) God bless our farmers!

Prevent water from getting into your shop by gluing a rubber profile to the cement floor where it contacts the overhead door. Works very well. About $8 Canadian per foot. Available from your overhead door company.

All the tech you use in your operation is incredible!! prayers out to your Nabors

Haven't seen your Dad lately. I guess he is having surgery on his knee. Wishing him a successful and painless recovery. Good luck on the painless recovery.

I remember my grandfather back in the 1960s saying that he wanted short cornstalks because they didn't go down in the wind so easy. These days it isn't so much the wind but it is combined with heavy rain so it's like pouring water out of a bucket that knocks the corn down. At least back in my grandfather's time, they had animals to feed so they could chop downed corn for feed and silage. That doesn't work so well for a cash crop.

Hey, I am sorry to see that you have so much damage in the fields this year. The weather extremes are getting more and more. I am a farmer from Germany, we produce corn, wheat, some soybeans and mostly we produce hybrid corn seeds. We had record dry and hot summers for 3 years and this year was the opposite.......the coldest and most wet year I can remember. I feel with you and your family and your neighbors who had even more damage.....there will come better times.....good luck for the future!

MR MILLENNIUM You are inspired and hope you can keep positive spirits. Know tough crop year and praying for best.

I'm looking forward to seeing this train, with anhydrous tank in rear!

Family target practicing is the best. Teach them young and safety first. Sorry about the crops. Prayers for your neighbors.

Watching Jim working with Zach; then I imagined Jim as Zach and Zach as Onyx ten years from now. Nvm.

How would you ever cope without jim and his care to share his wisdom

I like seeing you hang out with all the kids together.

Damn Zach. When I see that corn layover I remember when it happened to us over the years. Hopefully, you can get what you can without wrecking the picker. Considering how you're neighbors got hit-- you got lucky. Looks like a "Count your blessings, kinda' week."

Onyx: “You hit the barn roof” 😂😂🤣

can i request a day where jim just has the camera all day. even when he leaves. he's low key hilarious and just the man.

You can't catch a break with the wind hopefully some of it can be salvaged

Anhydrous ammonia work brings back memories. Used to custom apply it for our local fertilizer company. First year with a 4850 Front wheel assist I did 22,000 acres. Definitely got tired of the smell Crying shame about the crops in your area. Keep you in my prayers 🙏 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸

You should buy a hand thrower for the clays, they do a good job lofting them into the air... or even go all out and get one of the nice pull cord ones.

At least the skeet harvest looks promising.

Sorry to see that corn laying down. Good job And good to see Jim.

They make a rubber floor gasket for the garage door that does a great job of sealing out the wind blown water.

Remember less corn = less grain bins to sweep out

Hoping you can salvage enough to cover some of your expenses. Looks like a rough year all around. And I hope your neighbors rebound from the storm. We lost our largest dairy farm in NJ two weeks ago to tornadoes. Tough times.

You could possibly use something like a bin fan to pressurize your building and prevent rain blowing into the building. Consult an engineer to make sure the building can withstand it.

Great to see you spending time with your family ❤️

Praying for a miracle for your fields and all the other farmers out there with crop damage.

Zach did your grove around the farm help you from damage to the bldgs and the bins vs your neighbors. Just sick fighting the drought and then now the winds and hail finishing the crop now. That different number of corn planted around the outside of the field, maybe you should keep track of it and maybe plant more of it next year. Praying for you to be able to get the crop harvested along with all the other farmers facing mother nature's damage. Have a safe harvest !

Its nice seeing jim again.

You are very lucky to even get that kind of weather. Here in California I can only watch your videos to see rain.

Our thoughts and prayers for you family and your neighbors

I'll never forget my senior year in HS back in NW Iowa when our PhysEd teacher had us shooting clay pigeons. Nothing out of the ordinary in farm country, right? Right and wrong. What he failed to do was load us up and take us out side city limits to shoot said clay pigeons. Granted, our high school sat on the edge of town and there weren't any residences in our line of fire but we were still within the city limits and somebody turned us/him in for shooting guns in town. Some of us were hunters, myself included, and some of us had never even held a gun much less fired a live round. Since the school didn't have any guns of their own, and what school did back then, we were allowed to bring one or more from home to use. I brought my 12 gauge, there were a couple 16's and probably a .410 or two and one kid brought a Heckler. Back to the fact that some kids had never even held a gun...one of the girls could hardly hold a 12 gauge up to her shoulder so when she yelled "PULL!", she accidentally pulled the trigger when attempting to do so and....hit the damn clay pigeon. Edit: fixed spelling

You should look into getting a battery tender system to help keep those batteries from going dead. There are super easy to install and work great for me.

Flag wire in a drill makes quick work on clearing the steel lines out, might have to make a slight bend at the tip of the wire to get them completely cleaned out

My kiddo had a Chipmunk also. He loved it, they are a great little pew pew.

FYI there is a hand launcher for clay targets which launch the targets just fine or go with a ground mount launcher that is manually reloaded and cocked. Or you could go all out with a self cocking automatic reloading launcher which uses either a rope or cable with a push button to launch a bird and swings back and forth so you never know where the bird will be launched. Food for thought

Sorry to see the wind damage. We didn't get any here but about 10 miles south of us it starts & there are some tough looking fields. Hopefully the weather stays good now so at least there won't be any more damage.

Sorry, about all the crop issues. Hope all goes better next year.

Zack, you should mount the fourth camera on the anhydrous tank to watch the gauges

Good to see Jim back. So sorry about all the damage to you and the neighbors.

Put some old garden hose inside your door seal.. it helps when the seals flatten out from use....

Glad you're getting some rain you just didn't need the storm that came with it

I love what you are doing, I would have loved to grow up on your operation farm!!!! Keep on keeping on 🙄

The word is broken. I am sorry to see what you have experienced. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your business and your life.

A drone would save a lot of climbing up and down. Glad your family is safe. Hope the neighbors are ok .

Check your wire to your dome light. Ours wasn’t killing power to it when door was shut was draining the batteries

You should try grinding a slot for the garage door to seal in. And place a lip just inside the door. If I make it out your way next year I would at least be able to draw out what I am trying to explain.

When Jim Wheezes :) Very sorry to see the state of your Crop and hear of the Damage your Neighbours have had.

I am so sorry about you and your farm i hope its the last one . Im happy there is no damage . Keep going 👑👑

Great Millennial Farmer Video, thanks for sharing

Sorry about your loss

"I found one of the cats we've been missing" I could smell that......

Hey Big Jim!!!!!!!! Sorry bout the crop Zach!!!! That Clay scene with the young ones was an accident waiting to happen. Zoinks!!!!!

That down corn is a bear. At least the ears are still on. Our area had a situation like this several years ago where the standing corn stood because the ears shook while the downed corn still had the ears attached.

I'm really like the lighting in the big clean shop.

Dam that just sucks to see your crop. Glad to see you hanging out with the kiddos. I bet Jim is just a blast to work with. Great video,

Looks like the new to you combine is going to get a workout this harvest. Hopefully the corn pops back up or you get a corn reel to help. Getting flashbacks to the Larsen Farms harvest 2 years ago with all their blown over corn

Great video sorry about corn loved the wrenching keep it up thank you for sharing and your time

You bring a realism to us "City Slickers" of just what you, and the rest of the farmers, go through. From good to bad and back again. I can hear the frustration in your voice as you look over the damage. You have enabled us to see first hand what it takes to get the crop in the ground, how you care for it, and then harvest it. You bring a whole picture to the community that watches of what it takes to make it in farming, the good the bad and the ugly (the missing cat). How did you dispose of the corpse? Anyway, I am looking forward, with some sadness, of just how this harvest is going to go. Yes, it is nice to see Jim again got to love that laugh!!

You gotta be more like Jim. Laugh at the problems. In the grand scheme of life they are all little problems that are easily solved. Nice too see some family time at the end. And your corn looks great. It's just short for less wind damage now!

Man that crop.. :( fellow farmer feels the pain... But did you see/hear, OLF said just get a grain header, with that youll get most of it. With cornheader you end up just in the mentalhospital after a day trying to get that mess in with it.. Glad that everyone is safe from the storm, if you have to drive those big cars of the road in cover you know there have been "Windy"... Terrible this year all around it seems, in FIN we had total dry for the most part like there, Welkers had it too etc. We had rain, but it did came in few days the whole summers amount so that didnt help either.. yields were very poor.

Really sorry to hear of your crop loss. Stay safe.

Zack it's allways great to see Jim god bless now know harvest is coming .

hockey stick and a half sheet of plywood elevated works great for skeets!!!!

I am so sorry about your crop my dad used to take me and my brothers ski shooting too that's pretty cool brings back good memories God bless🙏🚜 take care

Zack if you take a string and stretch it out for your length of that hose and then measure the string you will get an Easier measurement and it’s true. I sure hope the crops are better then expected.

Hello Johnson family, I'm glad everyone survived the storms even if your vehicles may have been bruised. I'm sorry for your crop damage. As you said, it didn't seem like there was going to be much yield anyway. Best of luck with whatever you can salvage out of a very dry, difficult year. I've enjoyed your 'Between the Rows' videos very much and look forward to more as the hunting season comes up. ---- Night Sky Watch ---- At Sunset the bright 'evening star' just above the western horizon is the planet Venus. It will be joined by the slim crescent Moon on Thursday September 9th, again just after sunset, until they both set as twilight ends. Venus will be in the western evening sky until after the end of the year. Once a month, the crescent Moon will be along side Venus just a few days after New Moon phase. (Oct 8th & 9th, Nov 7th and Dec 6th when Venus will reach its' 'greatest brilliancy'.) Saturn and Jupiter are just a month or so past opposition. They are still very bright and rise in the east right around SunSET. They traverse the sky all night long and set in the west just before SunRISE in the early morning. The Moon passes 4 degrees north of Saturn on September 17, 2021. The Moon passes 4 degrees north of Jupiter on September 18, 2021. In 2021, the Northern Hemisphere autumnal equinox comes on September 22nd. The Full Moon falls less than two days earlier, on September 20th. Thus, for the Northern Hemisphere, this upcoming Full Moon on the 20th - the full moon closest to our autumn equinox - is the 2021 Harvest Moon. (Hunter's Moon on the 20th of October will be a few days after the moon has passed Saturn (Oct 14th) and Jupiter (Oct 15th). As the year progresses, Saturn and Jupiter move toward the evening sky and right at Christmas time, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter will all be lined up in the western sky just after Sunset. Follow along on clear nights as the seasons progress and change between now and then, and watch as the evening crescent moon moves from Venus to Saturn to Jupiter on December 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th. Might make a good view in a video if you happen to catch it. Best wishes for good weather and clear skies for the remainder of the 2021 season.

Very sorry to hear about the storm damage. This last season we had two cyclones and then a very heavy 30 minute storm late in the season. It all stood up after the cyclones, although leaning then the heavy storm gave it the last knock out. Luckily not all the fields were flat. Anyhow. We finish hand harvesting today. It rained a little last night, still dark outside as I make my coffee before roll call. 300 people reaping every day $$$$$. I wish you all the best. As the Old farmer's saying goes, "Next year will be better"!

Zach if the tube is big enough, use a cleaning rod and small wire brush from a gun cleaning kit, attach to a drill and polish up the tube inside.

Call the county agent and see if there is a flyway location close - sell or donate the blown down corn if you can't harvest it. Birds would love it. It also would be good silage for someone with livestock. Just a thought. Doing great.

It’s been a very difficult year for many farmers across the US and Canada. Hope for the best for everybody.

Zach, from all of us here in Iowa we are so sorry and just sick to see your crops. We will be praying for you all. God bless you all

12:30 Rest in peace, cat. You will be remembered in honor.

Welcome back Jim!! That corn looks terrible, gonna be a pain to harvest that. We had some down but not like that. Our chopper has had a hard time picking it up. Good luck with harvest.

I think its the same storm by the way it sounds like it was moving, but I was at school when it happened, weather rain on a radar goes from green to pink, green being light, pink being heavy, my town went through pink, we had up to 70mph winds, lots of rain and some almost baseball sized hail, lots of leaves and trees down, our school went into a tornado warning.. glad everyone was okay

I’d like to see more family target practice it’s a great way to end a day

Must have been the same storm that hit us here in Michigan, although it looks to have been much stronger where you're at. Prayers for your harvest!

Hey Bud, you should be buying whichever child is having the next birthday a mechanical skeet thrower. They need the time to zone in and hit it. Sorry about the corn, but as you said at least the farm is undamaged. Stay safe!

For clays a thrower makes a huge difference. Even those red plastic ones. You wind was worse then over here. But like you I figure 2 bins will not be used this year. Unless I keep soybeans. Then part of one. Good move getting extra safety. I recall starting to drive tillage tractor in swamp when I saw tornado as kid. Thinking if stuck the tornado couldn’t lift it.

When you siad your nabor lost sed I had flash back to when we had to be contin wood fall over last year wish best of luck to them

My daughter had that same Cricket rifle when she was little. She upgraded to a Ruger American (with pink 'Muddy Girl' camo') when she was a bit older. She's one hell of a shot now 😊

Sad to hear about ur neighbors I hope they can recover and sucks about ur crops I wish u the best

Good to see Jim back on the job.

Well Bro my thoughts are with ya at harvest time.. Been there plenty of times here in Wisconsin
