You should do a future farm plans video. What are your guys plans for the next 5, 10, or 20 years? Do you want to grow your equipment, land base, milking setup/parlor?

I own my great grandparents farm established in Feb 1912. I wish there were more old and progressive photos taken over time. My wife and I have been here for over 40 years. We have made made a lot of improvements in that time and we regret we didn't take enough photos also. Ok as long as you have it in your head and pass it on to next generations. Liked to hear history of your farm and family. Chris from West Michigan.
Happy birthday dad and heavenly birthday to your mom. Thank you for sharing these history of the farm videos. I really enjoyed them. Nice seeing a family that’s making it possible to keep handing it down. Any plans to change anything in the future?
Very cool history Kip! Brings back many memories of growing up on a dairy farm. Thanks!
Great video that farm really grew fast

I'm enjoying the history of the farm! Keep it up
Great video, Kip! Thanks for sharing your farm's history with us!
Love history.
Thanks for the super detailed video Kip. Most interesting going back in the farm history. Appreciate you doing this. You explaining the history gives us a better feel for your farming operation.
Happy heavenly Birthday to your mom and Happy Birthday to your dad on the 13th of February at 70 years old.
You all have done a lot of work getting the farm transferred over to you and brothers. That is really important for future generations. My compliments to all of you for doing that.
The growth of the farm buildings and operations is so interesting to hear about. Gives us a good idea of your growth for future generations.
Thanks again Kip for doing this.
You asked for comment on a part three and going over the deed books. YES that would be most interesting to hear about. So yes on that.
Thanks for everything Kip. You all take care and be safe.
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Great video
This is cool. I like to think what I was doing in the different years you mentioned since I’m just 3 years younger than you. My dad turned 74 on the 12th. My wife and I started buying my parents farm about 2 years ago.
I’m impressed with everything you guys were able to do. Those buildings and concrete aren’t cheap.
Another good video
Happy Heavenly birthday to your mom and HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAD.
CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE.
Happy birthday mom and dad, shout out to Jason in Florida. Very nice history, thank you for sharing, Kip. Best wishes onto the next 40. Interested in seeing part 3 " the land ".
I really enjoy your videos. Living about 40 mins south I drive your way to get a great steak at lucky steakhouse... My family and I were wondering when you sell the milk that you produce and it goes off in the truck where is it sold.. I try to buy Local /Michigan products..
Keep up the great work making Michigan great.
This is so awesome!! Love watching these videos!! Thank you for the backstory and history!
The stories how farms evolve over the years is fascinating to me. The history is educational for younger generations. Also it shows how far you have come. What's really sad for our family is when our barn addition and machine shed were completed in 1982 (Mom took rolls of pictures) all of those pictures were lost in a house fire in 1991. I have many memories though of all the neighbors working together. Now they are all retired and half of them have passed on. Happy birthday to your parents.
Thanks for sharing your history of your farms Very nice job.
Your Mom and Dad built the farm to what it is today, now it's turned over to the next generation to keep it going. It's interesting to see the changes that have taken place over the years, and also exciting to see the changes to come. Happy Belated Heavenly Birthday to your Mom and Happy Birthday to your Dad.
Loved the history. Happy birthday Kip’s mom and dad. The farm looks beautiful and I’ve noticed that your one of the hood farmers out there. Best of luck
Great history of the farm, it’s very interesting to see abstracts & all it says is always interesting to me.
Kip, great video on the history of the farm! So the next like you talked about. My in-law’s farming ended in 1988 when dad passed away, their farm was established in 1874, wife has the certificate of the centennial farm and the sign, thanks Dave
Thank you for this informative tour!
Happy Birthday to your Mom and Dad Kip. Very cool video. Always interesting the history of the farms and how they were built.
As a kid I remember many rides out Van Dyke to that area. My Grandma & Grandpa had quite a few friends who had farms up there and we'd go visit. Fond memories.
Very entertaining to watch the farm history! Like I have said before you guys have a first class farm!👍
What an amazing story
Great family story,You obviously have a great family,Nice to see you take on the challenge to keep the family farm going.Look forward to more videos
I love it
Great video Kip!! Keep up the awesome work on your farm and families history there's a story to tell to pass on for the next generations to learn from. I could sit for hrs listening and looking at pictures from family farms history its fascinating to see how everything changes and progress for better futures!!

Like the trip down memory lane! Brings back memories of doing hay in the summers, helping milk back in the day
Great video, Happy Birthday to your parents
Good job guys
Life hey, how short it is. This is really amazing and beautiful man. Im old now and this got me reflecting….. lots of regrets but God is good.
Youre a good man, please do the next history video and thanks for sharing
Very interesting
Man that 4640 fwa sure brings back memories. My first job, my boss had one. Pulled a Clay tanker, tillage and grain cart in the fall. They were and still are a great tractor.
Love your farm pictures and history. Thanks Kip
Thank you so much the history of your farm is very awesome great family life thank you for being a hard working farmer Paul Harvey was right about God making hard working not for huge pay God bless you and all your family.
Kip i would like to seen that 66 ford fairlane. My wife and me had a red one. It was black interior with a 390 motor. It was a GT350. The gt was agrand touring series. Sure brought back mermorys
That was in 1975
I love watching your videos I miss my farm and cows I live in Ontario Canada keep up the great work
Your farm has come a long way over the years and now on to the next generation,I take it Dad still has that 66 ford, in the 70s I had a 66 silver blue Ford Galaxie LTD,thats and era of muscle cars
That was very well done. Thank you for sharing your history with us. Here’s another idea. I was wondering about tracing the cows. A Dairy Farm is only as good as the cows that produce the milk and I was wondering if you had linage for the cows. Are you milking Great Great Great granddaughters of some of your dad’s or your grandfather cows ?
I wonder if 2010 is about the time you (I did too) started with digital cameras, and most of your pictures from then on are on a hard drive somewhere. I know I had to go through all of my old computers to extract all of the pictures, and backed them up on various "cloud' storage platforms (Google Drive, MS One Drive, Dropbox, etc...). I got my first digital camera around 2008; my first "smart" phone in 2011ish.
Look forward to vid's on how you and your brothers are going to make the farm your own. You have alluded to wanting to move away from silo's and the current parlor to tmr feed system and larger parlor. Will be interesting to see what comes next.
Guess you couldn't talk the partners into modernizing the parlor. Might interfere with the green equipment budget
It’s really cool to hear about how your family started farming and how it’s being passed on to the next generation of families. Was curious if your family still has the 4030 your dad was sitting on
You don’t know what you have until it’s gone nice video no I’m not trying to sound like a dumb person Kip but you never know when it’s your time be blessed
@23:12 6% interest was a low interest rate in 1984. There were a lot of loans over 13 % interest. Not every parent wants to do it the way your Dad did. Some want a selling price at appraisal and an interest rate the same the bank. They want to treat the off farm siblings equal to the on farm siblings. So it could end up that the off farm sibling are drawing from an employer sponsored retirement plan about the time the on farm siblings are trying to figure out how they are going to pay for a farm.
I love these videos ...ty!❤
Have a couple questions.....what made grandpa get into dairy. And how many original acres did he have ?????.. ty..God bless you ❤🙏🙏
The drone shot was awesome too ...I guess I didn't realize how big of a farm you had.!!😮😮😮 very nice!🎉
I did not have a farm to pass on. However, I do have a family history. My son gave me a Christmas present in 2021. It was called Storyworth. Every week, he had me answer a question. I emailed him back my answer. I spent a few hours per week answering the questions, complete with pictures. In 2022, it was completed. The end result was a bound book. Each of our children received a book. Family history is important to each family. Now they know, "The rest of the story."
Your dad is about 6 weeks older them I am.
I have a couple questions. Who's bicycle was that? What was the reason for the combine being out
Love knows what has become of the farm and your history this will help the next time when you, your sister, and your brothers decide to retire from the farm.
And the next generation takes over when are you going to start artificial insemination of the cows is the bull still threatening your safety on the farm when is that going to occur?
And yes, do part 3 of the farm history also would like to hear from your sibling's story as well.
Sincerely!
R.S.V.
👍👍👌👌
2010 was roughly around the time that film cameras "went away", which might account for the lack of pictures after that? Maybe a sim card lost somewhere?
Did that Galaxie have a 390?
How long does it take you to milk 150 cows in your current parlor?
I've seen one of your shorts about dividing up the family farm. My question is I'm not married and have no kids and the family farm is on me now what do I do. No woman in my area wants to marry a farmer so I'm 41 so what do I do
That’s a tough one, you still have time to have a child or marriage unless you decided against it already. If so, I’d see if you had a nephew or other family interested to teach possibly hire and go that route or a really good employee someday could even buy in to take over.
@@KipSieglerFarming1 no I'm 42 year old and no girl wants. I'm the only child dad passed away 3 years ago and I don't have no nieces or nephews so what do I do to keep my family farm going. I'm the fourth generation on this farm looks like I'm going to be the one that lets it go
