    Told a Co-worker about your channel today. He was complaining about the younger generating being lazy. After lunch he told me that you work harder in one day than he does in a week lol. Love your vids!! Thank you for showing us old folks how is done!

    My grandfather had a dairy before I was born. He sold it and went into politics a few years after that. When he retired he continued to farm until he died. He lived to be 100 years old. I believe it was working outside everyday, eating right and staying active that contributed to his longevity. My uncle now has the farm and he raises beef cows and grows hay. I must admit that when I happened upon your youtube I can't stop watching. It's relaxing for me to watch a vibrant young man working to full capacity and making it look easy as breathing. I admire your work and the relationship you have with your father. My grandfather never looked at farming as work. To him it was the best job in the world and he always thought of it as play. You make it look fun just like he did. Thank you for reminding me of him and your terrific attitude! I wish you the best and I hope you have an 11th generation that carries on the family tradition. But, I think you're going to live to be 110...easy! Jonathan

    I'm not a farmer nor do I love in the country. This channel is my favorite out of 20 other CZcamsrs. Keep up the great work and love the channel. Keep inspiring kids that have a dream to be a farmer or come up with more ideas to help on the farm!

    My grandfather had a big wheat farm in ND but my father split after HS graduation cause he didn't like farm work? To this day I feel like my destiny was ripped from my hands! I was born to farm it's in my soul! Watching your videos makes me so sad to think I could of had the life you have if my dad would of just stayed on the farm!! Love your videos keep living that wonderful way of life!! God Bless!

    Suggestion for a future video: Interaction with the milk truck - when’s it’s picked up, how and how often, etc.. and then maybe delve into some info on your relationship with whichever dairy company you sell to and how that is determined. Good vids!

Keep up the hard work and never get tired of doing what you love.

I was a teacher and I have never seen anyone work more continuously than teachers, except you. Your video skills are also first rate. Best I've seen on CZcams.

    These videos are well done. Nothing is oversold or hyped up. It’s just an honest view of a farm and it’s daily tasks. Reminds me of growing up next to my cousins farm. That was my first real job, I learned how to drive a tractor well before my license. Sometimes I miss it!
    Thanks for the video.

  • @Bigalfonduty
    @Bigalfonduty Před 4 lety

    Man when you were putting down the round bales in that barn, I had a blast from the past. My uncle used to milk about 40 head I'd say, about 10 at a time, when I was like 9 or 10. The barn we milked in literally looks the same as the one you have there. The head locks didn't work they were so old, so I would have to entice them with carrots to keep them there while being milked as well as shoveling feed to them. I enjoyed it very much and learned alot on the owners farm as well as making memories with my siblings. Always enjoy your videos my friend, I've seen all of them. Keep it up!

    @ladyinky882 Před 4 lety

    Hello from Kentucky I have been watching your videos for a few weeks and enjoy watching them very much. You are very good at visually telling your story.
    It is so interesting to see how a big Dairy Farm is run. I grew up on a farm but have not lived on a farm for many many years, so it brings back fond memories of that time of my life.
    I especially like it when you stop to watch the sunrise or take a minute to scratch a cows head. Cows are such interesting creatures of habit and they do have their own personalities or temperament. I like that you notice #485 is always first in line. (or whatever her number is)
    It is so good to see that someone your age can do so many things and can operate so many different pieces of equipment, has the work ethic to get up early and work hard every day. I don’t usually comment because I usually watch on my Roku TV but I wanted you to know what a great job I think you are doing and I think you are an amazing young man.

    Old welding trick is if you have a gap grab a bolt or anything solid metal all thread works great and tack it on the ends. Light up on the bolt hold a tight ark and weave back and forth and burn the bolt into the root or crack and go slow and let that bolt absorb most of the heat You`ll know its right when your slag peels up on its own and you can remove the slag with a bare end of a new welding rod. Your still the hardest working youngster on youtube!
