Moving to the family farm in North Dakota
มุมมอง 38K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
We packed up and left upstate NY to move to the family farm in North Dakota. It was a busy first week trying to unpack, start a garden, and get the cows some kind of pasture fenced. We can't wait to see what we can accomplish here.

    This is not hate, everyone starts somewhere but two pieces of advise. DO NOT EVER for any reason reach under the deck of a running lawn mower, if that PTO malfunctioned, slipped or was bumped your going at the minimum loose whatever limb is under the deck. Also never run a tiller in flip flops, especially a rear tine where your feet are so close to the tines. don't let one bad decision be the reason you life/limbs are altered forever

    The landscape there looks like Red River valley country. It's quite a bit more open further west. Located about an hour NW of Jamestown. Your garden is short on nitrogen and would probably benefit with a side dressed fertilizer application.

    If you shove the lever that comes through the back of the hood over the tines, shove that lever down and it will give you more control while it is digging. there are individual notches in it to set the depth.

    • @BackseatFarming
      @BackseatFarming 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The pigs are raised out on pasture or in the woods except when they’re first brought home. When we first bring them home and they’re in a smaller area we usually just scoop and compost their poop and the bedding. When they’re out on pasture we don’t do anything with it, nature takes care of it. If you’re going to have a permanent pen you can also use wood chips to cover wherever they poop and it’ll help speed up the process of breaking down.

    Hello, I did a video analysis based on the words found in the video. Video Title suggestion: Upstate Homestead: 8 Months of Projects & Lessons Learned Long-Tail Keywords ideas: - Upstate New York homesteading vlog with family and animals - Seasonal challenges and adapting projects to the environment - Building a chicken coop, repurposing old barn materials - Raising meat chickens, butchering process, and expanding production - Planting an orchard and battling deer with fencing solutions - Garden struggles and successes, learning from failures - Raising pigs, rotating hot wire for grazing, and butchering - Building a chicken tractor, 2.0 version for easier maneuvering - Trimming property with a brush hog, first-time tractor experience - Impulsively acquiring Jersey calves, bottle feeding, and escape attempts - Building a shelter and permanent fencing for the growing calves - Reflecting on accomplishments, lessons learned, and future plans - Family-friendly homesteading, appreciating progress and challenges Additional Notes: - The video title is informative and engaging, capturing the location and key theme. - The keywords are diverse, covering various DIY projects, animal care, and seasonal experiences. - The keywords use specific terms like "hot wire netting," "Jersey calves," and "chicken tractor," appealing to viewers with similar interests. - The keywords highlight the unique aspects of the video, like the impulsive calf acquisitions and the tractor adventure. Overall: - The long-tail keywords effectively capture the essence of the video and provide valuable information to potential viewers. By using these keywords strategically, you cancan increase the video's visibility and reach a wider audience interested in homesteading, DIY projects, and animal care in Upstate New York. Additional Analysis: - The video could be segmented into smaller clips focusing on specific projects like "Building the Chicken Coop" or "Bottle-Feeding Our Calves." - Using captions with the keywords could further improve searchability. - Your video needs video tags that reflect what is being actively talked about in the video. Your channel also needs Channel Tags, a longer video description, a High Res Thumbnail, and an End Screen. - Adding text overlays or voice narration explaining the thought processes and decision-making behind the projects could be helpful for viewers. - Engaging with viewers in the comments who have questions or share their own homesteading experiences could build a community. I hope this analysis helps! Good luck on your TH-cam journey.
