Eric i have watched with some regularity all the medium to large farm channels. You outwork every single one of those other farmers hands down. Taking care of a dairy herd properly is only for the strongest smartest & most motivated among us. No question in my mind. Not to belittle or take away from ANY of our GREAT FARMERS (I thank God every day for all of them)- it is just that animals require 24/7 on call and caring. You and your dad are truly amazing men. Thank you for providing us with our best in the world dairy products.
I totally agree with you. There is a farmer on CZcams I follow who is an equivalent. His channel is: I farm you farm. He is a one-man operation with a much smaller farm and fewer cows. He is also a hard worker, and he maintains his farm, equipment, and animals with a dedication very similar to Eric and his dad.
I don’t think this post was really necessary. I grew up around farmers and ranchers, my parents came from ranching backgrounds. It’s very, very, rare to see a lazy person in that field. 99.9% of them are hard working folks. They have to be creative problem solvers, know about a plethora of everything in order to do maintenance, how to manage their ranches/farms in every situation, plus know how to manage finances and prioritize how to spend their money and time. For you to single out one of the many to declare that they’re the hardest working is insensitive, insulting, and unkind. You only see a very small part of these people’s lives, and only what they want to put in their vids. To come to such a ridiculous conclusion on a pinhead of information is absurd. I think you should rethink your post....

Working on submarines I learned a lot about welding. If you bevel the edges of what you’re welding you get much better penetration, for a much stronger weld. Keep up the great videos!! I watch everyone one. I too grew up on a dairy farm.
If you also know anything about welding pipelines, they join with a large v- groove bevel which gets welded round and round until the v is filled - same principle, I think.
Pretty nice welding! Maybe a bit cold? Would have loved to see the heat transfer on the other side. But what do I know, I haven't used an ARC welder since like 1993, migs and tigs for me. A scrap piece of angle iron makes a nice jig for that type of fitment. Love your vids, straight forward and down to business! Kudos to your parents!
Love watching you and your dad and others work on the farm. There's a lot of work to do on any farm, as you know, but with the new technologies it does help increase efficiencies and reduce work time. Thanks for sharing, have a great week.
I like your shirt you are wearing today...Ephesians 3:20. I have been following you for the past 2 years and I always thought you were probably a born again Christian....Now I know. Thanks for your good testimony on CZcams.
Great video! Looks like Megan was busy in the calf barn. Always impressed with the cleanliness throughout the farm. Happy Memorial Day to you, your family, and your employees!
I have binge watch your channel and I have noticed your farm really cares for the livestock health through its improvements. I really enjoy the content.
It's just great to see you & Dad always working together. Makes me feel good! Have you ever drilled your beans instead of row cropping? I'm not judging, I'm just trying to learn. Thanks for another entertaining video and by the way, those calves in the calf barn look so comfortable, I'm thinking of moving into the calf barn myself. 😉
Great video as always Eric. You are always working, repairing and taking care of your heard. Thank you to you and your dad for all you do. God bless you all.
Thank you for sharing your hard work. I worked on a small dairy in the summers in High school. Wow I do not know how you and your Dad do it. God bless your family.
Hello and thanks for your videos from Texas! I have an old family farm in Oklahoma my dad grew up working on. It’s so fun to see it in action from the perspectives you offer. Anyway, my sister is a Dr of veterinarian medicine and I thought it would be cool if sometime you could show some of how doctors come care for your livestock and help with their nutrition and stuff. A behind the scenes sort of thing for those often unsung heroes! Sorry if this already exists in an older film I missed/haven’t gotten to yet. Have fun and stay safe out there.
Great looking welds Eric. Getting better each time you do it.Always enjot your videos and see what goes into providing us with food. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us your work.
Eric, I'm an old timer that has done my share of maintenance welding. 6010 dc rod is my go-to for most repairs. Dirty and rusty metal is less likely to affect the weld and being a quick freeze rod, vertical(can weld downhill)horizontal and overhead welding is much easier and gaps fill well. Doesn't make gorgeous beads, so if appearance and maximum strength is required, grind and cap with 7018. Most folks don't keep their 7018 rod dry enough to work well. 6010 is not effected by moisture. It's called "dirt rod", "farmer rod" or "gap rod" for a reason. On another note, I appreciate your no bs videos. Don't go the "Cole The Corn Star" route. His goofy clickbait bs and made up drama gets old.
@@johnbaskett2309 We used to watch Cornstar but his channel went WAY downhill over the last year. He seemed to like totally loose control of it. 10th Gen really has a great channel. They are humble folks.
Another good video Eric. I enjoy watching you & your dad work together. Cherish that time Eric. I lost my dad shortly after I turned 23 & newly married for 3 1/2 moms. Don’t let your differences of view get in the way of a relationship.
You all should be hitting the like button for Eric’s bicep commercial today …. Great vid Eric, hope the family is doing great. 400k right around the corner.
Might I reccomend a $30 laminator from Walmart? Works great for paperwork that is prone to get dirty. I bake so my recipes are lamented plus all the kiddo's school stuff. I buy my lamenting sheets in quantity from ebay. Also think kids photos, school papers, award certificates artwork, etc. I love mine!
Did you get a new camera? This video looks overly clear for some reason if you didn't. Amazing quality and such good information for us "city folk". Love every minute of it.
Britain is going all Royalist, as the Queen will soon have reigned for 70 years, so loads of silly celebrations coming up - called the platinum jubilee.
Is the yellow hue of the 'claws' i think you called them their manufactured color or do they turn that over use and time? To the unknowing bystander theyd look dirty I imagine but they're perfectly clean as demonstrated in the video.
Sry to say that, but the engineering on this planter drives me crazy. Couldnt come up with a worse construction than this XD. Anyways nice video as always
Ok, please explain this to me. You clean the milking components, then toss them up on the platform that the cows stand on during milking and where the manure is very clearly visible. Not a criticism, you know what’s going on more than I do, but this really caught my attention and just couldn’t figure out why it’s done this way!
Do ya Ever Use Delimer to cut the Milk Stone? I serviced McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines and About every Month Ya Soaked the Machine in Eco Lab De Limer and it was like new Again!
hi I am Peter from Sweden. I follow your videos and think you're doing a great job. I'm just wondering if your animals never graze freely out in the summer?

Hey Eric, your arms are really looking good. Keep lifting that heavy stuff. 😉
I guess time does fly because it doesn't seem that long since you replaced them!
Keep them videos coming. From the imperial co California.
Love the vids keep up the amazing work.
The skid loader tires are wearing well. Better value with that set.
Hey brother Eric I liked that blue shirt u were wearing before u started welding

You guys keep shipping the milk and I will pay the price, I love my milk. Good job all.
I love watching the cows jump around.
Love your videos was wondering if you guys still have the Massey Ferguson
Happy Memorial Day!!
i'm always amazed that the big plastic bag gives up its contents so easily
awesome
Y'all have got a nice, clean looking milking parlor.
Is it time to buy Dennis a camera? LOL
Thanks for sharing.
Hope things dry out so you can spread manure and get the rest of your corn planted.

I see a vortex pump in the background!

Is the yellow hue of the 'claws' i think you called them their manufactured color or do they turn that over use and time? To the unknowing bystander theyd look dirty I imagine but they're perfectly clean as demonstrated in the video.
That is their manufactured color
Taper the end of your flat stock before welding
Why do you add graphite in the seeds? Does it help you know when the hopper is empty?
You need to give that poor skid steer a good bath it could not hurt and it would look so much better
I LOVE your calf setup, do you have any issues with them suckling on eachother when using buckets?
Sry to say that, but the engineering on this planter drives me crazy. Couldnt come up with a worse construction than this XD. Anyways nice video as always

How many of the Monty breed do you have and how do you like them

Probably protein residue being cleaned out by hand and the whole system put through a wash cycle before use.
