🚜 Farming Mishaps and Misadventures
The video script begins with the host introducing their new, massive farm combine, humorously noting the industry's self-interest in its invention. As harvest season approaches, the host shares a comical anecdote about an internet search mishap for 'corn' leading to images of babies. The narrative takes a darker turn with a cautionary tale about a cousin's fatal accident involving a combine. The host and a companion, Cody, engage in a series of mishaps and miscommunications while attempting to operate the combine, including a dangerous moment where the host nearly gets crushed. They also discuss the challenges of farming, hint at the host's lack of experience, and receive a note from a fan, all while dealing with mechanical issues and the absence of brakes on the combine.
🌽 The Struggle with Farm Equipment and Strategy
In this paragraph, the host and Cody continue to grapple with the complexities of operating the farm equipment. They mistakenly use a bean head instead of a corn head, leading to a failed attempt at harvesting corn. After switching attachments and dealing with soil clogging, they manage to get the machine working, albeit with some trepidation about its longevity. The host reflects on their farming roots, humorously claiming their corn is 10 years old and comparing it to the film 'Interstellar.' The goal is to sell the corn to recoup costs, but the host also discusses their apparel company, Monster Max, emphasizing quality and American-made products, and their new, more affordable line sourced from China.
🔥 Combining Passion with Practicality
The host discusses the balance between passion and practicality in farming, mentioning a childhood memory of playing hide-and-seek around a combine. They address concerns about the combine catching fire due to static and recount a hydraulic line issue from the previous night. The host also emphasizes the importance of maintaining the farm equipment, especially the air filter, for optimal performance. Despite the challenges, the host remains determined to continue farming, even after a significant rainfall makes conditions difficult. The paragraph ends with the host's ambitious goal to feed America, a nod to their dedication to farming despite the setbacks.
💸 The Financial Reality of Farming
In the final paragraph, the host takes the combine to the grain elevator to sell their harvested corn, expecting a substantial payday. However, the journey is fraught with obstacles, including a power outage and navigating through difficult terrain. Upon arrival, the host optimistically unloads the corn, only to be met with a disappointing payment of $21 for their efforts, far less than anticipated. This leads to a humorous interaction with the property owner after accidentally driving into a field. The host concludes by revealing they will not destroy the combine as previously suggested, but instead, they will continue farming, marking a new beginning for their agricultural endeavors.

about that I don't know stop get some
help I'm literally trying to promote the
longevity of my equipment and you're
trying to talk me down out of it I don't

it yes we're doing
it yeah let's go
[Music]
baby oh dud this Corn's nice I love this

it does oh yeah it's eating good dud yes
oh
yeah there lushous socks come with me my
friends I am your father you will now
live in cans holy look at all the f I
can't imagine a more beautiful thing
being a farmer is a lot like being a
veteran you can demand respect and
attention
oh no I think the Corn's coming out of
the
hopper what's going on I think you
forgot to plug something dude all coming
out right down there I see it it's just
coming out the whole time we've just
been dumping everything stop it stop it
well we're going to lose this corn
anyways there's no reason to holding up
there we're going to have to pick that
corn up it's not good leaking things out
of vehicles and not picking it up we're
missing two PL that's just how they
clean it up for winter it's those two
plates in the cab I think are you
serious oh my are you genuinely
facilitating this just cost me hundreds
of
[Music]
sense over the last 2 years I started my
apparel company monster Max which is
basically a higher standard of workware
items that don't shrink they fit
properly they're oneoff custom built for
people like you and me that don't want
to deal with issues with your clothes I
also wanted it to be made and sourced in
America it's a super high quality
standard but as a result they cost a lot
more our margins are very small and yet
people still think that they're too
expensive but I also want to serve the
people that don't have the money for
stuff like this so that's why we are
launching whistling diesel.com
this shirt's literally 4 in tall I don't
know why we made it how much it I'm
going to make a bunch of crazy dumb
stuff on there I'm wearing one of them
right now we planned ahead a long time
for this this has been a long time in
the making didn't um so these shirts are
a hundredth of the price so the only way
that you're going to get the cheap price
is if it's made in China so we got China
baby and we got America I have no
warranty on these this is the same China
blank that every other YouTuber sells we
have the all time classic I got to lie
I'm really impressed I'm not building an
armored bulldozer in my garage over the
course of 18 months baiden sourced in
America Maiden sourced wherever they're
blanks shirts are 29 bucks very very
cheap prices compared to the MX stuff
are we even profiting from those shirts
I don't think we're profiting from any
of this
a lot of people think I'm dumb sometimes
which is
understandable stop it what are you
laughing at I may be dumb but I'm not
dumber than you cuz nobody else would
have thought of this static builds up in
this when it gets hot and dry and it
will literally just start a fire but my
grandpa had one was on there for like 30
Years cuz this the first owner put on
there the links on the end were like
paper thin you could just break them in
half cuz they're just dragging on the
ground that long that's probably my
biggest concern though is just catching
on fire yeah any little spark or
anything who would not watch a 200 74
part series on this
com said have to destroy no no no no no
this is Passion you can't profit off a
passion when I was younger and this is
not a joke everybody thinks I'm joking
all the time I only joke like 72.4% of
the time my cousins and I would
literally play hide-and-seek around the
barn and my grandpa's combine is parked
in there it was very similar to this as
a 9-year-old kid I would climb up in
here all the blades all the knives are
up in there you just literally hope that
he doesn't start the combine this is
where I play
hide-and-seek legit nobody started okay
YY somewhere in here I blew a hydraulic
line and I was worried about catching on
fire last night cuz I was picking till
midnight so I left it outside and it
rained very hard I've kind of dug down
there to check it there's a good 6 in of
just like wet musty corn on top
no Taylor put in the be explosion is it
true if you like stepped in that you
would fall down like in the silos and
like you couldn't get out you don't
actually believe that do
you no what this looks like the air
filter can we order a new one
immediately please I want to take much
better care of this thing how are we
supposed to operate the world's most
Flawless farm when we have particulates
in our filters if we can get a good wax
and wash tonight no all right so let's
see if our hydraulic line fixed work yes
okay nice all right right up look at all
that oh my God that all came out of this
machine this core thing we fixed it
that's what this is all about guys it's
awfully muddy outside do you think we
can be farming in this yeah no we just
got a foot of rain it's perfect
condition it's
not all right well we're going to keep
on
picking I ain't really getting much well
there ain't much on the ground budy this
is not meant to be doing this right now
at all actually are we getting good far
oh my gosh honey we're full
wow it's almost there my goal is to feed
America okay I can't stop I I literally
can't stop dude stop I can't stop I
can't stop what was that noise there's
no brakes I couldn't stop I pulled back
and it's just going I'm
like I'm going to pull some stunts up
here watch
this I don't know if it looks cool or
not I I'm going to go off the driveway
to where it goes up the hill yeah this
be
fun oh no what the heck no can I fit
through there wo w w hey hey hey hey hey
[Music]

hell part of being a harvester I must
return my food to those who deserve it
