Yeah, I knew as soon as he come on the scene because that's when Gleaner, one of them, was wanting to do that Combine giveaway. When he passed me, I'm like, well, you better get to handing him out because it's going to happen quick.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
He's going to flex on you. I get the opposite with Gleaner. It's open and they close it when I come through.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
You reminded me of myself at that age. When I was that age, I was a little more shy, if you can believe that. You're very articulate and can just lay it out there. I think it's neat.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
It would have been with his cousin, I remember. Yeah, she's your cousin, right? Yep. Not aunt?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet

Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
him walking through something talking and it's a nine-year-old going on 68 i just thought it was cool i think that video might have been the one where i was talking about the 112 and i fired it up that one actually you're exactly right it was the one where you guys were outside and you're talking about the garden tractors and you went there's kind of a lean-to on the shed there and that's exactly what it was that's exactly what it was so you were that articulate tony or that interested in tractors at nine years oh yeah eight slept and drank it i mean to the 10th power
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
but you know of course back then you didn't have a platform for anybody to see that on and like i say i wasn't probably as i probably wasn't as knowledgeable as he is as far as the wide variety like the machinery that we had i could tell you everything about it but when you start branching out into other stuff you know that wasn't my jam so the same for me like i don't know a lot about fan or agco not not much about that i know more about alice chalmers that kind of stuff yeah
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet

Farm4Profit Podcast

Okay, you come to my place.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Wow. I've never played farm center. Have you? Nope, I haven't either. I might have a long, long time because my boy has it, but I've never sat down and actually played it. I just drove around for five minutes just to see what it was like.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
That's the number one question. It just goes right for the Jake. No, 1,700.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Yep. In our area, by today's standards, that's not a lot anymore. You know, it's enough for us. What kind of crops are you raising this year? Corn and soybeans. And I had some wheat with double crop beans in behind it.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Done really good. 100 bushel an acre. Wow. Got really good crops coming on for this fall. I don't know if it's going to be a record, but it's going to be really good.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Okay, so now you asked me a question, so I'm going to ask you a question. So you're from northern Indiana. Did you migrate there from Mississippi or Tennessee or somewhere? Because you don't have the northern accent.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Okay, just checking, just checking.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Perfect, perfect. Yep. Is that going to ruin that? So what's the one thing here at the show that you are bound and determined to look at before you leave?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
The John Deere booth. Just everything John Deere.
Farm4Profit Podcast

Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
brand of farm equipment yes so when it comes to farm equipment do you like the new stuff more than the old stuff or would you rather if you had a like a really nice older john deere combine from the 80s or 90s would you rather get in that or would you rather get in one of these sitting right here get in the old machine get the old machine yep i don't blame you do you get help on the farm very much sometimes sometimes because your your cousin and your grandpa farm correct yes yep
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
So what's the one tractor that you're going to own someday? Like everybody says, you know, someday when I can afford it, I'm going to buy a 4020, a 1206, whatever. Or do you already have it?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Six by 12. All right. That sounds big until you start setting it up, and then you run out of room pretty quick, don't you?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
So what is that?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
But could we go bigger if we could find somebody to donate an enclosed trailer?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
I need to dig through my stuff. My kids have outgrown that. I got grain bins and legs, and I need to just box it up and just send it all to you. I've got all that stuff. It's actually pretty nice stuff. Look at that.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
That's a good score. We'll fix him up on that. It's a big enough grain setup. You're probably going to have to have another sheet of plywood just for the grain section, so...
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
So you had a gleaner on display?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Yep, and think of all the ideas you guys could bounce off of each other back and forth. It's like, hey, I hadn't thought of that. That's...
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Yeah, I knew as soon as he come on the scene because that's when Gleaner, one of them, was wanting to do that combine giveaway. When he passed me, I'm like, well, you better get to handing him out because it's going to happen quick. That's crazy.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Well, you see, you're nine, so come back in nine years and we'll watch one.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Have you got to tour the combine factory in Moline yet? I know at one time there was some age limits, but I didn't know if we're shutting museums down and bringing them in, if we could get around that.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Oh, is that right? Well, good. Yep, that came out of my personal collection. I just pulled it off the shelf, a little Steiger tractor, and then it ain't really a precision 1066, but it's not just out of the box from Ertl.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
My manager. How much does she charge? Do you got to pay her quite a bit?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
She don't charge?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Hey, do you want to be our manager too?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
I didn't realize. So were you able to kind of understand how that worked? Like since you're not on TikTok scrolling like with your own account, like did your mom come in and say, well, hey, you've got 10,000 followers. Now you've got 20.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Give you the daily update.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Some of those numbers got pretty big pretty fast.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Or two springs ago? Last spring, yeah, a year ago in like May or sometime in that, yeah. How did that go? It went excellent. We was able to raise $4,500 for a trade school, not a college, not a junior college, an actual trade school. And we decided that nowadays $1,000 –
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
doesn't really go very far anymore so we gave the whole 4500 to one kid he was out in wyoming going to go to wyotech be a diesel mechanic and yeah he was very thankful to get it and i was glad to help him and we tried to sift through as best we could and give it to somebody who needs it you know Anybody can hide things on paper for tax reasons.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
You know, I didn't make any money, but I own 5,000 acres and everything. You know, so we tried to sift through that and give it to somebody who actually could use the money. And I think we hit it.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Yeah, figuring on it. Yep. And I don't know what we'll do this time to raise money. I mean, it'll be something totally different.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
And look, you turned out all right. Yeah, turned out fine. Yep, exactly. So, yeah, I don't know. Nowadays, I see too many kids that go to college, and then their job has nothing to do with what they went to college for. And so that was one of the reasons I didn't go. But then, B, that's another reason why we chose a trade school, because most of those people generally –
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
One of the things that I always try to tell people when they talk about social media, or they'll come up to me at a show like this, like, man, you know, I really love what you're doing, and I would love to do that, but I'm no good on camera or whatever. And I encourage most people to try to get past that just from the relationships alone that I've made.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
And would have never had those had I not been on social media. And the thing that I like a lot is you'll talk to you guys a lot through text or phone calls or whatever. And you can actually talk farming and talk about real problems. And it's not from a guy two miles down the road that's going to listen to your problems and shake his head and then go call your landlord two days later.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
You know, so it's... It's pretty neat.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
I think it was a way it finally connected us. I think it's always been there. Yeah.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
That's the same thing in my podcast room I've done and they're just... Good collection.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Keep them clean. I've seen the other day you were on like a 1025R or something thereabouts. Is that yours now, or was you just somewhere driving it?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Okay. Yeah, that was going to be mine. Probably history. It would be a toss-up between history and science.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Never knew that was an option.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
My grandpa and grandma had a 110 when I was a little kid, so it's been early 80s. I don't hardly remember it running, but I remember they had one.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Probably, yeah.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
So you got a snow blade or snow blower or anything for either one?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
That's the same here. Same here. Yeah.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
The one I started out, it was just like the one Forrest Gump had when he was mowing the field. Yep. Same thing. Pull started from behind.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
With the twills.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Oh, that's how I am. I'd rather take a beat than mow the yard. My wife loves to mow, so that's your department.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
He'll mow the ditches and stuff with it. Okay.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Yep, pulling the old 1066. Yep. How'd he do? I think he finished middle of the pack somewhere-ish.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
First time ever going down the track. Yep. Done good. Real good. Very nice.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Oh, man. Talk about embarrassing. Yeah, extremely. I mean, I legit feel bad for the guy. I mean, what's the odds?
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Yeah. And depending on what class, like Nick, who does my podcast with me, they had a pro stock and, you know, they was over 5,000 horse on theirs. So I'm going to say the pro stock just because of the cut tires and the wheel speed and running.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
32 mile an hour, you know, versus. But how much do those weigh? Anywhere from, once again, on the class, anywhere from 10,000 to, I don't know if they go up to 12 or 12,500, something like that. Because that 8RX is probably pushing 30-some thousand.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Now, don't tip your head too far back. You know, I can see them. They got you. Yeah. Play that off a little bit.
Farm4Profit Podcast

Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
I'm going into the right lane. If you want to hit me with your King Ranch, I don't care about my vehicle. I'm going to the right lane. And half the time, they'll stop, and away you go.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Yeah. Yep. I have it, too, for on the farm. You know, it's a $300 car, so if you've got to move a piece of machinery down here to go get something, you just drive it down here. If somebody steals it, backs over it, whatever, get out, just go buy another $300 one, and away you go. Yeah.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
No, nope. You probably got tractors worth more than that.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
Nice. You got one already? Has your mom ever showed you my 78 Ford F-250? I'll have to show you a picture of that sometime.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
For the most part, yep. The wife's getting a little perturbed on everything, so I've had to move it to the shop, and yeah. And it's funny. It's just random. You know, one day I flew off the handle over pump-up sprayers, just... Because they're junk. Yeah.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
And yeah, like a week later, I've got 19 sprayers in the mail from battery pack to battery, or from backpack to battery powered to pump up to stainless steel. I got every sprayer.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
No, but when they show up in the mail, it's just like you just start. So if you ever need a sprayer.
Farm4Profit Podcast
F4F - Just a Jackson Thing and Tony Reed - Breaking the Internet
