- Last week we picked rocks, watched an awesome storm (as it rolled on by), celebrated the 4th of July and added a work mule to the farm. All-in-all, a good week. Thanks for being here!

Austin looks just like you! Your children will appreciate the life that you gave them out there. My boys are both grown now and they have both told me that the farm helped shape them into hard working men. Take care ! Hope you get some rain soon!Chuck
I just love your outlook on things. You are a joy and you show the true American spirit.
gate getta My dad who's the best champion gate opener when out on a huntin rabbit fishing weekend 60s 70s when we were kids 🙋♂️🚜😅
Our house was like the Waltons on sunday lunch b4 we head out on a fishing wood cutting or rabbitting day sometimes we did it all 1.2.3. country life was fun back then
Your You Tube video titles are in a league all their own and reflect what a creative person resides behind that great sense of humor, well done as always!
When I lived in Virginia I could not believe the heat and humidity. I also lived in Greenville South Carolina which seemed cooler that VA. North Carolina may be a little warmer than VA. All that hard manual work you folks do is keeping your bodies trim and in shape. That is how I look at manual labor, I love it. It is work + exercise at the same time.
The humidity is a BEAR :P And yes, the work counts as exercise for me usually haha
I DID THE SAME THING WHEN I WAS A KID , YEARS AGO AT MY PAPA FARM , MAYBE THAT WHY I LIKE AN WATCH YA'LL SO MUCH , HEY THANK YOU ,,, THANK YOU ,,,,,FOR ALL YOUR TIME TO DO THIS ,,,,,LOVE YA'LL SHOW
My son and I love watching your farm videos and you are hilarious
I've never seen you look nothing but beautiful Meredith.makeup or no makeup.the bernards are a beautiful family.
She does look good when she cleans up!
Hope you get some rain to keep the top end of the yield on that corn. It's looking great so far. Just gotta get those beans up with a shower and started. I bet you guys will love that mule. Wish I had one. Our county seat had "Confederate Railroad" play on our square for the 4th. I didn't make it but everyone said the place was jam packed. Happy birthday America! Thanks for the video and sharing your farm.
1. You never look gross 2. You always are beautiful 3. Rock picking is great exercise. 4. Now we know why you and the kids are in such great shape. 5. Hope the corn makes 6. Love your videos
I like that Bonnie is family. We all know how dogs imbed themselves into whatever activity is going on around them. She has position and status. It is good. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful video it's nice to see your family work together to get the job done your kids are hard workers
I love this country too Meredith! We are really lucky compared to a bunch of other countries. I also appreciate all the men and women that have and are fighting for us to have the freedom that we have! Hope you and your family have a great day!
Always have a lovely crop of rocks, they grow better than anything else round here. I must have picked a million tons. Your hubby is a lucky man, around here if you say the word rocks people actually disappear, strangest thing!
haha..I can see why!
Thanks for another very enjoyable video Meredith.
Love your channel, your enthusiasm, and your very nice smile and accent!! You do a very good job with your commenting and videos! PS. Love your patriotism!!
What, she has an accent?
I just bought a 2014 Mule for our farm. I got it from a couple that were retiring and moving abroad. They had put just 52 hours on it in 5 years, I’ve put 12 hours on it in 2 weeks. Y’all will get a lot of work and enjoyment from your Mule. Hope y’all had a great 4th. 🇺🇸
Awesome! This one is a 2008 and has low miles too. Really excited about having it :)
you sure have some nice red soil there, good stuff. A guy from Kentucky told me that our dirt near Fargo ND is so black when it rains, that he once walked out into a field to touch it, make sure it wasn't coal. I would use those rocks in softs spots, make existing roads and trails more solid, fill in with gravel
Gorgeous countryside Your farm is AMAZINGLY beautiful😊
Your video ended with "thanks for being here" but I think me saying to you Thanks For Being Here is well earned and most appropriate since it is your time invested, your thoughts shared creating the place called here where 'your real' is such a great joy for me to be a part of through your vlog. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your part of our state with all who have found your channel. best 2U and all your family Mrs. B.
You're so kind. Thank YOU! Really appreciate your words. I need to go catch up on your videos. Hope things are well down east.
@@ThisFarmWife_ - the 6/10ths of an inch of rain here on the 4th saved the beans in the sandy locations. another 1/10th on the 5th just made it better. nothing would please me more than to see your husband's crops do well and for this reason I am asking and believing by the measure of faith in me that my Father The Lord God Almighty will put exactly what is needed on the fields your husband has planted. in faith, believe with me, please.
I just love watching you family. Even though we’re half a country away, it makes me proud to see the American farming family working so hard for what they believe in.......and no you never look gross. Thanks again for sharing your stories with us.
Thanks Meredith for another wonderful video 🤠 God Bless You and the family always...
Thank you!
Another grade A video... Rock on Merdi, and all I can smell is Lemon and Honey! (ok and a hint of diesel fuel). 🤗
Thank you for the wonderful visit to your world ❤️.
LOL, always the smell of fuel on me. Thanks Len!
@@ThisFarmWife_ you're very welcome🌞
Awesome video, definitely one for the archives. Such quality. Brings back memories. We picked thousands of rocks back in the day, threw them into a trailer, then got to throw them out into the pile. You have a beautiful family. The scenery is priceless. The storm, life on the porch, life in the field, the anticipation for a nice steady day of rain. You can't "make" this quality up, it has to be lived. Thanks for bringing it into our homes. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for being here and saying so! I kind of see this vlog as a diary for my kids to have to look back on. Hopefully in a good way :)
Rock pickin is how I learned to drive a stick shift truck when I was young. Made it a little more fun. 😊
As we look across the farm field in indiana there are plenty of rock to gather as the mood swings your way, thru younger years we did the task with fun and excitement throwing small dirt clods to stir the fun pot. In later years I cant wait to get back to the dirt and pick up a LOAD of rock and find a precious treasure in a beautiful ARROWHEAD. And then you see the beautiful crystalite white stone that makes the effort all worth while ,AND get that metal detector out for the additional treasure lost years ago like a horse shoe or adjustable wrench or equipment part with tools of all sorts lost from old farm equipment....I think I will go rock picking right now....KEEP PICKING FUN GOING....
Like your new mule. Your son will get a lot of use doing chores etc. Your corn looks good. Hope you all get some rain. Enjoyed seeing the farmer along with the family and more of the farm. Thanks for the update. Jim, TN
Don't worry about the way you look. You can never take a bad camera shot........... Picked up my share of roots and rocks. Had an old 4020 we used to tie the steering wheel and put it in 2nd gear. Get to the other end and start back........I bought a mule new and kept it for 10 years. Never had any trouble out of it with proper maintenence.There tough machines. Sold it last year and bought a new 825 Gator. Hope it lasts as long and does as good. Hope yall had a great fourth. Me not so much. I spent 4 hours in the ER last Fri. with a pinched nerve in my lower back. Too many years of picking up stuff I should have left alone. Give them hard working young ones a hug.
Oh no, so sorry about your pinched nerve. :( Hope you feel better soon. And that's good to hear about your mule experience! I hope this one lasts as long :)
Labas,Taip tenka ir man tuos akmenis parinkti buria renkant nenobodu pajuokaudami apsidirbam.Grazu prie jusu viskas kila derlius matau puikus.Taip nuotraukas moki dariti pagauni geriausia momenta.Geras tas kavasaki masiniukas ir pavesti galima ka nors isimetes nereikia lauzit automobilio.☺Jega 🙌❤👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Aciu patiko.
Good to see youngins working. Bailing hay n picking rock builds character
I agree! And a back ache haha
You are HILARIOUS! Thanks for sharing your daily life!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Meridith , the rain we've had this year....... Have a great day!!!
Thanks Jeff! We've finally gotten some rain now.
@@ThisFarmWife_ almost 14,000 subs !!!
I remember picking rocks at his same way when I was a kid. I had 7 brothers, my Dad would drive the tractor, and we kids would fan out and pick up rocks and throw them in the bucket on front of tractor.
That's a chore you were jumping up and down to do. Hope you get some rain. Fireworks are banned, but the city puts on a display. Got suspicious when you said it had a liquid diet. Used to drool over those. If I could drive it on the street, I get one. Nice to have on the farm. Thanks for sharing.
Meredith, you are delightful.
I was 6 years old and my brother 8 picking rocks when my father said we have to smoke cigars while doing the job. Thinking that would be cool we obliged. LOL.Thank you dad, Lesson learned. Never smoked again the rest of my life.
Imagine what the MSM news would do to yer daddy today if they heard that story !!
@@StephenMortimer, Or CNN ! Lookout !
@@augustreil
could start a #KIDSTOO movement of outrage
I have to say I don't know what it is about you? But I truly enjoy listening to you! I find you seem to just exude friendliness and happiness! Thanks for your uplifting manner!
Donald Howard that’s so nice to hear! Thank you! I appreciate you being here. ☺️
I love farming life and your life as well growing up thay all I did was work on farm's I miss it so much but seeing your beautiful family and story's bring back those good old days when I was doing it I should have gotten my own and lived that life but I couldn't find someone like you to share that kind of like lol thank you keep them coming Meredith
Aw, well I'm glad it brings back good memories. Thanks for watching!
It is always a pleasant day for me when you put up a video Meredith! Thanks!
Aw thanks!
You are so right-we are so blessed to live in Canada as well. When you think of the big world population and the small population here....we are extemely blessed. God bless
Ahhh picking rocks on the pineapple farm. We would put the little old tractor in creeper gear and turn in a tight circle and start throwing into the scoop. Geez the dog even looks worn out . Love the green look of your place and the way the cattle follow you so well. Keep smiling in NC . From Emu Park Australia
Thanks Jeff! We were all worn out lol.
Thanks for the video , enjoyed the Mule !!!
I hope you had a great 4th too. Stay beautiful and healthy and happy.
Always loved picking rocks (NOT) 😣. Your dry and here it keeps raining. First cutting hay still standing. 😫
So I thought I was the only farmer left in the US that picked rocks by hand you're doing a nice job
On 2 of our farms, we only had to pick some rocks in a few areas (like maybe a flat hay rack full). But our 3rd farm ... UFFDA ... KILLER! We had one 10 acre field that yielded 10-12 hay racks full of rocks! It was a family event. My dad handled the loader tractor, big rocks & dumping the rocks ... my mom, aunt, a couple cousins & 3 sisters picked rocks. Luckily, I was the one who had the "chore" of seeding oats & grass seed mostly because we had to load the oats via bushel baskets and it would take 2 of them to lift and it was too high as well.
Sounds like you got the better end of the deal! :D
Mom and son having a good time together also like seeing Bonnie
Good looking field. No rocks there!
I love your positive outlook on everything you do Meredith, great video keep them coming.
Thanks Ellis!
That's how we roll here in NC... Rule #1: A gentleman never has a lady open a gate after she's spent the day fishing boulders out of the field.. ;p
We farmed some new ground in the late 60s it was also in what was called the St. Francis Sunken lands subject to flooding every year. We had to pick up chunks every year and a combine header does not like a wood chunk nor does a set of duals on a 4520 john Deere tractor
Up here in Minnesota we always called them winter potatoes! Never ever did they fail to produce! Nice video Merideth!,
Well Meredith, I was up your way yesterday afternoon and thought about you and Lawrence as I was riding up thru caswell co especially when I got close to the river. I had to run from Burlington to Danville and back.
I’m worried about my crops too, but I raise produce and I’ve got record numbers of cantaloupe this year and they are ok size but should be 30% bigger than they are but I can’t get enough water to them and the tomatoes and everything else. This is our income for the entire year so it does wear on ya.
We will pray that your crops and cattle have good yields this year so we can put worry away till next year.
Beautiful video young lady!! Well done, thank you!!
Patriotic family, love it, God bless America
Thanks!
Congratulations on your new mule, that will make trips to the creek easier
Thanks Dale!
I remember doing this as a youngster,my dad driving the tractor and me doing the work.
hey farm wife i know its hot pickin up them rocks. at least you did not have to rope'em.I will pray for rain for yall.we finally got a good storm last night here in hartwell ga and we need'ed it bad.ill do a rain dance for you even though i cant dance.i am going to end it here. and dance.dance.dance.hope you get good rain.cant wait for the next video
I had to do this as a boy for my mom and dad. Thank God you did it after dinner when the heat of the day was done.
I worked on Mules all the time at the tractor dealer. I liked the diesel powered Mules best.
I love your channel. Your depth of understanding of this world, and how important the small things are is awe inspiring. God Bless You and your entire family!
Thank you for saying that. Means a lot to me!
Your corn looks good! Like the new mule. We're in the process of looking for a UTV for the homestead.
Big job, big load, Wes is such a good kid.
Great video and like the scenery. Hope you and the family had a safe and relaxing 4th of July.
We did! Hope you did, as well.
Thanks for taking us along 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for being here!
Thank you for sharing hun you guys be safe out there 🚜✌️
Thank you! Will do
Where ever you drop those rocks. Throw a few blackberries on the pile. You will have a blackberry rockpile. They grow quite well on a rockpile.
You had me going twice Merdie. First I thought I heard you say the rolled corn leaves was good? I learned the corn rolled its leaves, held its head, the tassels high, and raised its arms, the rolled leaves, to the sky pleading for rain. Honest!!! Then the new mule on a liquid diet? I thought; what's that girl talking about? Then I saw the decal on the side of the Kawasaki and I understood. You keep me going and laughing; Love your videos because they remind me so much of my childhood, growing up in West ByGosh Virginia!!! Even picking rock out of the pastures to fill the mudholes in the right-of-way road to the old homeplace! Good on ya, y'all!!!
Hahaha...glad you figured it out. :P Thanks for being here! Love your lingo :)
smiles ......... find a tire shop that fills the the gator an Mule tires with epoxy foam ...... you will never have a flat again ...... you can also do all of your implement tires as well ..... ask your tire shop about the epoxy foam for tires .....
Great idea!Thanks!
Mrs. Meredith you are getting so good in all aspects of making videos on the farm. It's magic. You and your family farm and your videos are a God Sent. We Just recently got 2-3 inches of rain and all is new now. I will continue to pray for your Farm to Prosper this year. About when do you think silage and Second cutting hay will start. Please video those if you can.
Thank you Mr. Bernard.

Deltaville,Va
Thank you George! I appreciate that so much. We did get some timely rain!! :D Hope to be able to cut hay again possibly next week!
I am convinced that rocks can swim through dirt and come to the surface. Lol, every time I bush hog I wind up chucking big rocks into the bucket loader.
I am a farmer in Iowa, corn looks good. Thanks for your videos.
Rock picking old school been picking rocks here since I was 10 61 now still haven't got them all lol
You and your family are truly blessed the rain will come and it will all work out i always hated picking rocks done it for years i swear they grow over night lol ! Great video thanks Meredith
Thank you!
@@ThisFarmWife_ YOU ARE VERY WELCOME
When I was young & on the farm , I loved rock picking. I would have my eyes focused on looking for Indian Artifacts. Always found Arrowheads near any stream or creek. Love You & Your Family's Lifestyle. Thanks for sharing.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh yeah, hubs has found lots of arrowheads over the years. I'll have to find and show some of his collection sometime :)
Yes, to this day I still like walking afresh plowed field after a good rain. They just laying on the ground shining in the light. Always loved that when I worked on my neighbors farm.❤️❤️
13:55 come next birthday ya gotta give yer girl the GIFT of GAB !!
You never look "gross". 😁 . Funny how picking rocks is never fun. Kinda like pulling weeds. Ha ha. Nice Mule. Have a great day and I hope you get that rain!
You remind of a close friend of mine, she makes herself laugh all the time. Cracks me up every time you do it. And your kids are both cute as can be. Your son is really a handsome little fella, he'll have to throw rocks at the girls to keep them away.
I think I'd like your friend! And I'm thinking the same about my boy, he's growing up too fast!
Love your videos! Hope you get the rain it looks like you desperately need!
We have! THank you!
"Rock Pickin' and Mule Ridin'" - I think that was an Allman Brothers album title back in the early '70's.....!!!! LOL! ;-)
If not, it should have been!
Get a rock rake when crop is off the field hook it up on tractor and rake them up. hope you had a good 4th I went to bed early had hay on ground so we baled hay lol. his beans will come out of it if it rains corn looked good. nice ride
You have another new subscriber. I like Ur attitude & Your vlog. I'm an old timer that was raised on a farm & ranch in Montana. One of my many summer jobs was picking rock. Thx for the memories...wayne
Thanks for subbing and being here! :D
@@ThisFarmWife_ Your welcome.
Way back when I did this, we used a wagon to throw the rocks on. Many years later, when I was an adult, I would go stay with my cousin for a couple of days to go squirrel huntin, and he would be the one to wake me up, and sometimes he would just say... its too windy to haul rocks....lol So I was confused, but later remembered the rock gathering we did and figured, well... if its that windy, we will never find a squirrel...lol
🤣
I sue miss the Carolinas and southern Va. Great video, but that is easy to do with such a great family . As a retired Navy guy, thank you and all the other farmers fo what you do.
No thanks needed here, but thank you for your service!
@@ThisFarmWife_ jj
I have that same gator and it has served me well also. A very tough and dependable ride. Thanks for the fun. God bless.
Your videos keep getting better and better! The captions, graphics and music really add to them. We celebrated Canada Day 🇨🇦🍻🍁🎆 a few days before you guys.
Thanks Keith! Happy belated Canada day to you! I gave a shout out on my IG stories to all of y'all :D
Very cool! I just got a JD Gator! Love it.
Good! Ours has been a pretty good one!
We used to take those rocks and plant them in potholes. Sure made a few driveways better.
Now you are bringing back my childhood memories! Lol picking up rocks in fields!
Good job, work will not hurt anyone start them young so they learn
WHAT A GREAT HUBBY AND KIDS. BONNIE APPRECIATE THIS. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA
That's about 5ft worth of rocks in some of our fields (the joys of farming around a quarry) we no-till everything or minimum till with a disk, deep tilling just brings them up quicker. Congrats on the new mule, looks like it's in pretty good shape. Glad you guys had a great 4th. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video.
Oh yeah, I know this wasn't a huge amount. He already got a bunch out, but you know they just keep coming lol. The mule seems to be in great shape for it's age and hasn't been used much. Happy to have it now!
@@ThisFarmWife_ that's for sure, it seems like for every one you pick up 2 more take it's place.
the mule will be a good worker. and the kids will have fun.
Your farm is a beautiful place .
Thank you. I love it.
Every Memorial Day, Patrick Swayze and His Wife would have a " ROCK FESTIVAL " at Their Ranch.
It was Open To Anyone That Wanted To Go, With No Charge.
WHAT The " ROCK FESTIVAL " Consisted Of Was You Could Come And Hang Out And
Help Pick Up ROCKS Out Of The Pastures, lol Great Idea.
Maybe Y'all Could Give It A Try....
ROCK ON!!!!

GENIUS!!!
We're gettin to much rain here in southeast Ky. , everyday lol. It's amazing cause we're not really that far apart. Hope you get the moisture you need. Thanks for showing..
The weather is so crazy - we have neighbors that have gotten several inches and we got none. :P
Sitting here shucking beans watching you pick up rocks. As much as I hate shucking I would not trade jobs with ya. LOL. That was a pile of rocks y'all got! We got an inch of rain finally. Yes Mam welcome it with open arms at my place! Very nice corn! Love the new ride! I was expecting to see a real mule. LOL. Dang toot'n its hot! These 100 degree temps is kicking my butt! Have a great week!
Haha...I hate shucking beans, too! Been so hot lately! Now I need to find a real mule to ride. :P Thanks for being here! Take care
Great video, although I'm always so jealous when I see others picking rocks( maximum sarcasm), an always necessary and unpleasant job for sure, like that mule, always great to visit, if only for a short time, thanks
Prayers for you and your family. Pray you have good crops!
You are all hard workers! Even "Dad" impresses me how hard he works!! God Bless?
LOL, He works hardest of all, all day every day
I’m exhausted from picking up all those rocks...wheeeeeew
