Happy Thanksgiving! Another Harvest for Uncle Rob

00:01 You know, we get busy, everything goes good, but sometimes you just need to take time and look after those who help mold you into, into 00:08 what you are today, holder reckon. But, uh, my father and my uncle, my grandparents always think a lot of them appreciate all land. 00:24 Uncle's had a rough year this year, so, uh, ain't nothing he's better to do. Pick one out in the combine. 00:30 It's be 81 here in a few days and he's been in the hospital about three months this year since planting season. 00:36 And uh, he can't climb into the combine. So we're gonna put him in here. We if get out there about the history of this farm 00:46 and uh, the four Uncle Rob in here. We're picking corn on the Williams Farm. How many years we been farming this farm, Rob? All my life. 01:22 You'll be 81 and four days, won't you? Yep. Would you ever dream your son would be having to use a thousand bushel cart 01:31 to tow the corn away from a combine? So you said earlier you started with a six 20 with a two row picker. 01:40 Yep. And you had a, a thrasher on the back of it. So that would be combine cellar on it. Would you ever dream you'd be picking 24 rows? 01:52 Well, much less. Would you have thought we'd be running a German machine on our farm? 01:57 No. Well, we're picking this 232 bushels right here where we at racing grounded out areas in the field. But daddy, my granddaddy, so he went to Illinois 02:09 and got started, got him some money, come home and went to farming full time. 30. Yeah. 02:35 Turning the cultivator two row cultivator. This current $2,000. They bought all that for $2,000. 02:48 Well you don't even, you know what this machine cost us? That's a million dollars with a header in the combine. 02:53 That's, you can't even buy a tractor now. No. So you went from that two row picker, then you, what did you do after that? 03:03 Well, got a 45 pound combine, then we got a 55. Was that in the corn special? Yeah. What made it a corn special? I dunno. That's a good call. 03:20 Yeah, it's a good job. Got 66 and 77 of it. Now you had the first four wheel drive 7,700 sold on this part of the United States according to John Deere. 03:40 I dunno, it was four wheel drive. Yep. That combine had 14,000 irons on it when it left here. Did you realize it had that many irons on it? 03:50 No, I didn't know how many it had. Well that's because you made me crawl up in it and weld the thing back together. 03:55 All that's how I learned how to weld on that combine. Then you went from the 7,700 to you and I went, went in, 04:04 we got us a 77 20 Titan two fixed it up. Probably one of the better combines we ever had. That was a good one. And then we got a 9,600. 04:14 When you look at all your combines, what was the biggest change you've seen improvement wise? You, you feel like going from the 55 to the 6,600 04:25 or seven, that was what you think about having Danielle out here as a fourth generation and hopefully Tim will be back. 04:42 She can get it done, can't she? Yeah, she ain't scared anyways. I feel sorry for her husband though, don't you? 04:53 Oh well I ain't, well you've been in the hospital about three months this year. Off and on altogether. Yeah. 05:06 Never thought we'd get you back in the combine at one time, did we? Well, one time. Yeah. 05:15 The good Lord had other plans for you. So you got one more harvest stand anyway. Yeah, now you gotta be here 05:22 for the grand great grandchild to come. I hope so. Reckon you and Miss Harold can spoil it. 05:33 Oh.
