Us dairy farmers have done a full day before most people even think of getting up.....that’s why farming is done for the love of it, it can never be just a job as no one would stick the crazy hours and work ethic needed.
I remember when those tire scrapers first started coming out, in Canada. I believe they started around 1985. They were a welcome alternative to steel blade scrapers that had a tendency to catch uneven parts of the cement floors and stop the tractor dead.. The first ones hooked up to the 3 point hitch. Some farmers were making use of their old worn out tractor tires.
Out of all the free stalls I've seen you keep the cow's and barn very clean and should be proud of your work, really enjoy the videos of you and your family
Lesson #1 - Never start a feud with a neighbor who has loads of manure and the equipment to spread it. You may find your house, your yard and your vehicles buried in tons of muck. :) I enjoy your videos...
Way to enterprise a story Jan, and you have a natural talent to make the whole story compelling. I've always wondered how far you walked during the day, and I'm sure most others have as well. You should have promoted "How many steps do I take during the day" instead of the ditch - although that was a good segment too. It was also fun to see a little more of "the day in the life beyond the farm" as well. And, thanks for staying up to edit : it's amazing how much more value segments have when they are timely. Great work; hard work, well done as always...
Hey Jan, me and my dad thought that the stepcounter wasn’t right to but after some further “investigations” we figured out we really made those steps so I only want to say that you probably made those 23000 steps. We didn’t believe it our selves to but a farmer works harder than he even knows himself💪🏼😂😂
Back in my day, we saved money by not drinking coffee. We drank milk. I milked cows by hand. We didn't get electricity on our farm until about 1952. I farmed with horses. You know that horses and mules on farms out numbered tractors until 1954. Can you imagine watering cows without electricity? Best to you. Eaglegards...
That's a long day Jan! An afternoon nap would be good whenever you can fit one in! I guess spring time is a bit busier with seeding, but in the winter there is snow and freezing issues........ Busy!!
Manure in the ditch, what a win-win solution. Here in California we would require multiple permits, high paid consultants, environmental impact studies, multiple protests, chemical analysis of your manure, … then maybe you could spread, …maybe. Blessings!
You got that right Tim. They study the Salton Sea to death, wondering how to save it. California is know for studying thing to long. Many, many times, like the high speed rail. Starts out costing 10m and by the time the study is done it cost 50-75 million.
Here in switzerland you will go in the jail if you not observe a certain distance with the ditch. And all the neibourghs will kill you... So many people who wake up only to annoying other people
@@pochonjulien1501 The neighbor will kill you for getting to close to a ditch? That sounds pretty harsh, especially for Switzerland. I've always thought of Switzerland as a peaceful place to live in the beautiful Alps Mountains. A lot of Euro countries allowed to many middle eastern refugees into their country several years ago and it created problems. Is this what happened to Switzerland?
The problem is not the refugees. It’s the people who live in the city, and then they will live in the country for « calm and fresh air ». And then they see farmers with manure and pesticides, earth on the road... And then they think that the farmers are bad and cause the most pollution. And at the same time, they buy new phones, cosmetics, medics, big cars and chemicals to wash the clothe and the house. At the 13. Juni, we will vote about 2 things : 1. No more subvention for the farmers they use pesticide, they buy fodder (soja too) to feed the animals and use antibiotica 2 . Interdiction of use pesticide in the switzerland, to import foof that used pesticide to peoduce it, and the using of biocide in the transformation of food. In Switzerland the citizens can suggest a text and then we all vote. Next year we will vote about a limitation of the Numbers of animals on a farm. At the moment we have the most restriction with welfare of the world, but some citizen of switzerland think that’s not enough
Those watches actually count every time your arm swings. So everytime you turned the steering wheel , used a broom or shovel, and put the miller’s on the cows it counted it as a step. I use to have one and was doing a sit down job sorting, and it said I did 8,000 steps for the day 😂😂
Jan awesome video. No wonder you wear out a lot of boots 😜. I hope you mixed in some Lavender with the manure for the sensitive neighbors! Real dry there, I like the solution! Nice work! 👍👍
I'll say one thing for the Kielstra parents, they sure do a great job of raising kids. Little sis looks like another great worker. Such is the life of a Dutch kid.
Its good that you did this I was just saying on Cole The Corn Stars Video that everyone should get fit bits or just track their days! Always enjoy your videos!
During a normal workday that is 8h(9 with lunch), i get to around 16-18k steps. But the area i work in is super tiny, takes like max 1min to walk from one side to the other, around 5min to walk along the edges inside around the warehouse(where we actually got stuff that we pick). We got a ton of orders to pick for several places each day so we walk a few kilometers in such a tiny area. We only pick mostly one time use items like gloves/aprons/hand sanitizer/paper/facemasks+shields etc. Pretty much everything thats not medicine or specialty stuff thats used in all the different deparments in a hospital and health centers we got it in that tiny space. But its still a big amount of stuff that each place goes through in a week, especially now during covid.
Young , we build a big bin and dump our manure bedding in it it’s much easier to then dumping it right on the ground and have to pipe holes on the bottom in each corner to drain in case if it rains . Like the video little different.
I really want to quit my job operating equipment in the city and work out on a farm. I'm so envious of what you get to do. The variety and such. I managed to get a bit of time one season working fields in our tree nursery but now I am back in the city.
JK, the work you do in a day, PLUS trying to record, edit, etc., for this show, (which I, and a lot of others LOVE), it's just amazing. Anyway, thanks for the look into a life I've never known much about. DB PS: your choice of background music is very enjoyable. So is the overhead drone views. Just saying...
That's a ;lot of miles ( aprox 37 ) in an average work week. Certainly keeps you in good shape. I think you said your commute to work was 30 SECINDS... if it is in the Cal Barn, I certainly hope you have good layer of straw to sleep on. LoL Very interesting vlog 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜 🚜
Your cinematic skills are growing by leaps and bounds there young dairy farmer. You are seriously good at this and getting better every video. It’s very noticeable since I’ve been binge watching from the beginning. I bet you’re learning about video production the same way I’m learning about dairy farming. 😎👍🏻
manure not only prevents soil from blowing it also provides fertilizer to soil for crop growth # Sun is never out before i wakeup in the morning , wonderful control over UR timing #
Hi Jan: You know it is so interesting to see your barns and milking parlor so nice and clean compared to most of the other farms. Really nice and bright as well. 2.5 miles waling in the morning? Well that will wake you up a bit. Great drone shots, Jan, You really have good eye for shots. Are you going to repair the old sprayed? That would be a bargain. Pitter-Patter??? Really. You're funny, Jan. Wind erosion is serious, just takes the topsoil away to some other lucky farmer. Thanks for the post, Jan.
Where I grew up in South Australia had light grey Mallee loam soils with sand hills it would blow bad and drift. When it is dry and windy it drifts so bad and forms major severe dust storms by. To weeks ago it was so bad on the Wednesday that people on the roads couldn't see in front of them and they had multi car pile ups and some were killed.
Dairy Farmer gets up at 4am to Milk cows..365 days a year .. thats when the Rowcrop Farmer turns around a second tim and complains that he has to get up at 7am...
Another hard working job young man you and your sister your doing a good job as pretty interesting I remember back in 62 Ed who own the Darien South El Monte California Healy had 12 acres what I see all the acres you guys got my goodness yes a lot of work so you guys must be dead tired thing of the day so papa Guido again praying for you have a great day Union family and the Hong account wait to see the next one I am very interested because I still believe there is still my blood after over 58 years
12000 steps to morning milkings end was my average. Pasture grazing herd. After a couple of weeks recording I didn't bother as 10000 steps per day was the goal
Yes, you are doing awesome job and I am so honored to get to watch you guys almost everyday like I am there and of course love your sweet ladies as well!!!!! :))
Nothing worse than missing my nap 😞 messes up the whole day. But a really cold glass of milk and some home made chocolate chip cookies usually helps before I go to bed.
Kinda seems young lady likes to sit in the tractor and get the fields ready. Thank God you have her
I wish I could “like” this 10 times. What a hard worker you are Jan.
You literally do more before 9 am than I do all day. Most people would exaggerate the amount of steps or work done where you played it down.
I work in a farm, i have 10k steps by the 8 o clock
Us dairy farmers have done a full day before most people even think of getting up.....that’s why farming is done for the love of it, it can never be just a job as no one would stick the crazy hours and work ethic needed.
@Someone Random You have never spoken to anyone in residential framing, have you lmao
FYI this guy is in Canada.
Amazing film Jan. You never fail to inform, amuse and cover something new to us. Now you have two sisters working alongside you and your parents.
I remember when those tire scrapers first started coming out, in Canada. I believe they started around 1985.

I LOVED the part where you went through an entire milking session. Wowzers, you guys have that down to a fine art!!
That seatbelt ding at 1:20 is the song of us Saskatchewan people.
You guys are great dairymen and awesome land stewards . What ever it takes , your there to get it done .
Thanks Jan .
Out of all the free stalls I've seen you keep the cow's and barn very clean and should be proud of your work, really enjoy the videos of you and your family

Or has a slurry pit .. and the wind blows in your direction and he starts mixing that pit ... :D

Your going way-back-when. I was only 5 y/o in the mid 50's long time ago, but I like it. Good point
Your content and quality is amazing...Thank you! Ask your sister to post more, her videos are great too!
Very impressing lesson in soil management.
Got to give it a thumbs up when you start the video pouring coffee. A morning must for me.
Please keep them coming you make us Canadians proud.
Wow !! Another great video .... love the morning start-up for the day. Bless You and the family , Stay ... safe and healthy
🙋♀️ Hi from windy North Battleford. Praying for rain for you and all farmers in our wonderful province 🙏
Jan you are awesome buddy you are doing a awesome job on your farm taking care of your animals on the farm
That's a long day Jan! An afternoon nap would be good whenever you can fit one in! I guess spring time is a bit busier with seeding, but in the winter there is snow and freezing issues........ Busy!!
Love the opening segment!! And hey, you've got my shirt on. 😁 I'm enjoying the shirt. . .very comfortable cloth. Great idea for an insightful video.
I get tired just watching you work, that’s a lot of steps. Take care.
No matter what you want to take off. This one heck of a healthy lifestyle.
3:46am?! You slept in Jan. Ha H ha . Thx for the upload
Great placement of the camera on the spreader...when shit hits the fan 😂😂
Also I joined your sister's channel. "Dairy on the prairie"
Jan, now we know why you are in such great shape with all of the exercise you get every day. Great and interesting video. Thanks.

Those environmental protections with manure and fertilizer saved the Chesapeake bay here in Virginia, just saying
Everybody busy - never a dull moment around a farm in the summertime. Enjoyed the video.
I really think the ladies are happy to see you in the morning!!
;)
Agree, some go into a run!
👍👌🇨🇦❤, another Sask boy, me too
Love to see a young lady in a tractor!! 👍🚜
You are too humble! Hard working man!
I just got to say you are coming up on 150K subscribers. That is well deserved as your content is always entertaining and informative.
" wel te rusten " after a very busy day. You are really up with the latest showing what you had done. Cheerio from Australia
That’s very cool to track your steps on the farm
Beautiful sunrise .. alleys do look good agree the tire scraper seems to be doing its job . Liken it
Those watches actually count every time your arm swings. So everytime you turned the steering wheel , used a broom or shovel, and put the miller’s on the cows it counted it as a step. I use to have one and was doing a sit down job sorting, and it said I did 8,000 steps for the day 😂😂
Ur a busy guy my hat goes off to u
Great informative video. Always makes my day when you upload, Thank you❤️
Great video! Your weather looks better there than here in Ontario...thanks for sharing!🇨🇦

Thank you for sharing how much work is farmers do in a day!! Great video!!
Very cinematic start, looks cool!
I'll say one thing for the Kielstra parents, they sure do a great job of raising kids. Little sis looks like another great worker. Such is the life of a Dutch kid.

Having a nap after lunch, I should be a dairy farmer, just razzing you my little brother, you’re a damn hard worker and Miriam rules

Another great video! You are getting better and better the more you video. You are so comfortable in front of the camera now!
Morning all at the farm, another great video of life on your family farm. Looking forward to seeing your next video soon. 🇮🇪
Young , we build a big bin and dump our manure bedding in it it’s much easier to then dumping it right on the ground and have to pipe holes on the bottom in each corner to drain in case if it rains .

Plant some pollinating native seeds in those ditches. It helps with native and honey bees. There may be a local program that will supply the seeds.

Awesome and informative vlog on e again. It's nice that the whole family works together. Thankyou for sharing. God bless.
Excellent young man

Hay Jan, only bakers and confectioners get up so early in Germany, farmers only from 5-6 a.m. That speaks for your Holland diligence.
