First of all, if you need to put together a grain bin, I recommend calling Danny. The man is a genius.
His email is: dannylef2 at yah00 d0t c0m
(I've typed his email address like that so webcrawlers won't detect it and spam him. If you're a farmer you're smart enough to figure that out.)

Destin spends a week with Farmers* his accent proceeds to turn up to 11*
-
"I just started working and they didn't make me go away." Literally just described how I got my first job.
-
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.
-
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
-
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'.
-
Farmers: It ain't much, but it's honest work. Farmers in memes: It ain't much, but it's honest work.
-
"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
-
" 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: 👀
-
Smart man. "I asked them what they least liked to do, and immediately started doing it." THAT is how you earn respect.
-
People: "You can't build a house from the roof down!" Grain Bin builders: "Hold my ice tea."
-
“What do you call that tool” “A punch” This killed me
-
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!
-
"So, how do you build that 30-foot-tall structure?" "From the top down." "!?"
-
Destin: “Punchers are the best” Laminar Flow: “Am I a joke to you?”
-
To all our farmers: a heartfelt thank you for what you do!
-
Always like coming back to this video. I work in grain management so it's cool to see this side of it so close up. I handle things AFTER harvest. Once the grain is in the bin, I monitor temperature and moisture and make sure fans are running (or not) when called. Trying to get the grain to target moisture for shipping or storage through the winter. Every now and then I get to go out to a site and troubleshoot the monitoring system, which is pretty cool to see, but I haven't seen much of what goes on before harvest in person. Thanks for these videos!
-
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!!!
-
Now you have to figure out how the moisture tester works
-
I love your appreciation for farmers Dan. I’m glad someone with such a large audience can express that same gratitude that I have for farmers directly to them in front of such a large audience. You and your videos are so wholesome
