    Wow!! That is so very nice that your Mom brings out lunch and sets it all up nice for you to eat. She seems like a wonderful woman. Taking care of the calves and the rest of family as well. My hats off to you ma'am. YOU are the love that keeps it all together!! Let's also shout out to Mirjam since it seems she was helping out greatly!!

    I’m a 60 year old woman and I just really enjoy watching yourself an sisters videos. Growing up we had a pig farm and out of my 3 sisters no brothers I think I enjoyed the farm and all the work way more then my sisters. I had a chart when the pigs got bred and when they would give birth. I really enjoyed being on the farm. I love the way you all work together I’m sure there is disagreements and I have to chuckle when you asked your sister who is telling boss man because my cousin would say you tell grandpa he won’t yell at you. Different things bring back such good memories.

    So just had a content idea for you Jon. Just watching your Mother put out the spread for lunch , TACOs. Maybe a behind the scenes video of your Mom and what it takes to feed the crew !?
    And while your at it. How about an interview with Mom and Dad and how farming started in Canada 🇨🇦 ?

    Another great video. Thanks for sharing! One never understands the volume and diversity of work involved in farming. I am sure all the moo-moo ladies enjoy and appreciate the hard work and look forward to feeding time and show their appreciation by good yields of that white gold. Many farmers are truly outstanding in their field. The work seems to never be done. Some have dairy farms, some have poultry farms but dairy farming is the most exciting and busy I think. (I never have liked chicken that much because it leaves a foul taste in my mouth)

    Jan, Another awesome video, I think whenever you have any type of machinery you have problems with wear and tear, you guys look after machines really well with greasing them regularly and keeping them clean . I used to work in a woodworking shop and the time lost with problems with computers on machines not reading problems and machines breaking down , even though they were serviced regularly. Just part of working life. Take care and stay safe 👍

    Well done to Brent for getting the swather fixed so quickly.
    Nice to get more than you were expecting. How deep is the water table, does the alfalfa regrow quickly, how long between cuts and how many cuts per year. How long does the alfalfa live? Do you have dew in the mornings even if it does not rain, how many hours of dew do you have? Your night time temperatures are lower then mine at the moment.

    While I have never smelt newly chopped Alfalfa I do love the smell when you break open a second cut bale. If you could somehow capture that it would make a great car air freshener. Way better than the little pine trees. Nice to hear that it yielded better than expected and as a bonus it got a little rain to kick start the growth cycle to help insure a good freeze down.

    The alfalfa field below my house was cut yesterday, and we got a heavy rain tonight, so the swamp cooler is bringing in the wet alfalfa smell as I watch this, it's like smell-o-vision.

    • @MellowYe77ow
      @MellowYe77ow Před 11 měsíci +1

      They need so much silage, because they have around 1,000 head of cattle to feed. Jan has said that they feed 2 truck loads of silage per day. That's 730 truck loads per year.

    Technically, tacos are made using corn tortillas. On flour tortillas, while sorta-similar, are called 'burritos'. The flour tortilla's taste and texture leans the stuffing to a more savory ingredients. It doesnt really matter much, but I was surprised and happy to see that. My respects to your mom.
