So I’ve figured out how to “rip” content from DVD’s and save them in digital format.
I would like to do this to all of our past years and will share the highlights to give you a better idea of harvest past.
Today’s segment begins on 6/7/88 and ends on 6/9/88.

WHOA! Thank you so much for your very kind words. I’ve had so much fun sharing our way of life. When I look back and think about how many years harvest has been a part of my life…I’m amazed. Amazed because the years seem to have gone so quickly. At the time, not so much. I have seen quite a change in the equipment!!

I love this!!! So glad you are doing this and we have the opportunity to watch from the "beginning" and how you have progressed over the years with changes in machinery, technology and even how you guys look!!! I was born in 1961 so I'm about the same age as you and I got married in 1987. I have lived almost all of my life in Oklahoma and have to say I've never heard of Dacoma, Oklahoma, that's a new one for me. But I looked it up on Maps and found it to be north of where I grew up. I am going to enjoy "catching up" with all these newfound videos. My brother actually watches you too and told me about them as they weren't showing up on my phone. Thank you for taking us along for the ride over the years.

Absolutely love this old video! Sure brought back lots of good memories! I live in a little town of Lisbon IL that had a Massey Harris dealer then turned into a Massey Ferguson dealership! Lots and lots of combines were sold here and a few still around until John Deere took over the combine market. I've run quite a few 410s and 510s and really liked them except changing over to corn ! Quick attach heads was great invention!! I'm retired now but still run my neighbors combine for the entire harvest. Yes it's a John Deere 😂.

What a fine tribute to your past and the families involved. The whole "road show" reminds me of when I was a crew chief on a seismic "shot hole" drilling crew in the 1970s. Lots of lowboys toting buggy mounted shot hole drill rigs and water buggies. Lots of groups of hungry guys entering small town diners. Lots of hoods raised, and a fair amount of head-scratching. I really enjoy your work and have learned a lot about what I've seen on vacation road trips across Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana. I didn't grow up around farming or ranching so it's very informative to get a sense of what's going on during the harvest side of things. You and Jim are excellent teachers. Hoping for the best for the ZCrew in 2022.
