Video: Case IH Grain Drill Assembly: Extra Hands Required

its time to put things back together on the International 5100 grain drill. I reassemble all the row units back together and then try to install it back on the drill by myself. But that proved to be more challenging than I figured. So I enlist some help from Logans. It was so much fun having my son's help with farm projects. Its truly takes family to help make farming successful.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
