First of all, if you need to put together a grain bin, I recommend calling Danny. The man is a genius.

"I just started working and they didn't make me go away."

Literally just described how I got my first job.

Coming from a former grain bin assembler now engineer, you did an excellent job at explaing how something so over looked is so intriguing to build!!!

As someone who comes from an agricultural background, more cattle ranching than farming though, it just puts a giant smile on my face to see videos like this and the amount of respect this brilliant man has for farmers

7:15 - no wonder the whole right to repair is so so important. I it's not just about the principles (as important as they are), but that's significant time and money lost if John Deere takes that away.

Now you have to figure out how the moisture tester works

As a farmer who has a Master's degree, thanks for showing farming in a positive light and showing the science behind it. So many suburbanites look down on farmers as dumb, but to run a farm today requires both scientific and business knowledge, as well as work ethic and a lot of common sense.

"There's no job like this anywhere in America is there?"

"Iunno, I stay on the farm!'

What a humble guy, great answer. I think he is a lot smarter than he lets on

[beemer]

Smart man.
"I asked them what they least liked to do, and immediately started doing it."
THAT is how you earn respect.

[robertharaway]

7:15 This is so important. We need to support right to repair laws.

" When a farmer has a mechanical problem, they don't wait for help. They know their equipment inside and out, and they wrap a wrench or a tool, and they just start taking things apart, and fixing it immediately. "


John Deer: 👀

As a farmer I appreciate the accuracy of the info presented. Good work!

[DaWolf]

My favorite part is how you can hear his accent come out the more he talks to some of these guys. It's like he hits a button and activates 'Southern Mode'.

[JonJaded]

Farmers: It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Farmers in memes: It ain't much, but it's honest work.

To all our farmers: a heartfelt thank you for what you do!

[GovernmentAcid]

fun fact - the moisture tester at 11:20 is actually just a capacitor, with one plate on the underside of the lid, and one plate at the bottom of the canister. when the canister is filled, the grain acts as a dielectric, and all other necessary info remaining constant (distance between the plates, type of grain used, etc.), water's presence changes the extent to which a given grain acts as a dielectric within the capacitor, which is how you get the moisture readout 🌺

A farmer is a man who's outstanding in his field!

[mallows]

Honestly, farmers are the most underrated professionals.

Love it! Thanks for showcasing the Ag industry. Small world, that guy building the bin, built our 58ft bin in Illinois with his brother. Most efficient crew I’ve seen. Wasn’t expecting to see anyone I knew!
