I really appreciate farmer Earl taking the time out and explaining some farming to me. He farms 300 acres in Washtenaw county, Michigan.
Here is a link to his tillage video earlier in the spring:

Just a good old boy doing the good old way. There are less and less of these old boys left.

I like this guy. He's very well-spoken, he sounds like a very good teacher of farming.

Great video! He reminds me of my grandfather. Always was excited to teach me how to do things and tell me stories of the good old days.

The 1240 and the 494 are great planters. I used a 494 to plant 300 acres for many years. They may not be as precise as the new equipment, but they will do a good job.

So glad you made this video; this is the last pictures we have of my brother, Earl. Sadly, he passed away December 28, 2021 from covid-pneumonia.

Elsie, my wife and I are so sorry to hear about Earl, we are praying for you and your family. Here is the video that we took of his last harvest. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrqDgbN7mrjIhHU.html That day was special and unique; days before a lot of rain occurred and there was no action but we caught Earl in action. His field was ready to be harvested and it was the best harvest he ever had-he was very happy. Earl was the only farmer we saw that day. God bless.

Great video; love Farmer Earl! Did I mention that he is my brother? We farm exactly like he does: our rows are 42” here in the south growing vegetables and love the ever popular 4020 John Deere tractors! No, he’s not nuts! We love the old ways too! We’re also in our 70’s!

Hi Elsie, I have gone by Earl's field a few times this spring but I still have not seen him in action.

@@libasan You must not have heard that Farmer Earl Klager passed away December 28, 2021 from covid. So sad; he thought he could beat it himself and waited too long to get help. We’re supposed to be renting out the land but not exactly sure about that.

This is same farmer tilling soil with caterpillar you have video on He's not old school because equipment that's 5 to10 yrs is outdated with this push for green energy and equipment manufacturers own the technology They went full circle on the planters uses places& vacuum setup What this farmer is doing is quiet time get away from all the noise ,chaos .You know what I mean
