Taking My 13yr Old Brother On A 'Field Trip' (Corn Harvest 101)

When You’re Farming Everyday is a “Field Trip”

My Brother Avery is Learning the Ropes in the John Deere 8R today. Teachin’ em’ young…

My name is Elijah and I'm 15, 4th Generation Farmer. We farm 2000 acres of corn and soybeans in central Virginia. I run the Grain Cart with a John Deere 8235R and Corn Planter with a John Deere 7530. I mow during the summers with a John Deere Z960M Zero Turn.

Have a blessed day y'all!

Matthew 6:34 ESV
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Hello Elijah good to see you again. That is one bumpy field. Looks like you are having fun with your brother stay safe my friend.

Good job again. I was born in Washington State, where we are known for our corn, wheat & seafood. I think you guys are awesome. Hard workers. You should be proud for what you guys are doing to help provide food for our country. Never driven a tractor, you guys are experts. God bless all of you. Wish I had the hands on experience you all have.

Ok I'm hooked. It's amazing what you can do over time. It appears to be completely natural. I have to watch all videos and catch up!

[gschallert]

You boys are awesome. Your parents are proud for raising such responsible children. Have as much fun as you can. Nice to see you treat your younger with respect.

Big respect….Sense of responsibility at young age. Big help in his family… my brother next to me did the same things. He managed our family business and becomes like a father to me. Now he is struggling with cancer and I’m taking good care of him, (financially)love him very much… hoping for his fast recovery and become cancer free…

[eichfelder]

You lads run those tractors and trucks like I used to run on the railroad. "Uphill slow, and downhill fast, tonnage first, and safety last!"

[patricksmith]

I have watched this twice now and I just figured out you have 2 brothers (levi & Avery). Won't be long you will be teaching the little one too. I love the dynamic among you and them, I only just figured it out: thought there was only 1 brother and couldn't figure how one grew so much!!! I do enjoy farming videos cause it's deja vu for me but I don't want to work like that now. Y'all have a blessed Sunday and good week to come. :). Those mountains I saw yesterday ( forgot which show) looked like Skyline drive which I loved going through when I lived up North.

[positive]

Very impressive fellows. You guys are doing stuff I always dreams of doing when I was your age. Keep up the good work. :)

[northalaska]

You boys are AWSOME ! Great teamwork and such responsibility for young men. Your parents have raised and taught you well. Elijah you are a great mentor and big brother. Guys, I have great respect for your skills and maturity. PLEASE, be careful operating that machine and don’t take any chances. Thanks for your video and showing us City folks how product is harvested and the hard work behind it all.
