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.

Great Job Kids!!! ❤️
Welcome to North Dakota!! Just stumbled onto your channel and live in ND also. Was wondering what part of the state your family moved to. We are in the north central part and love it here. Born and raised. Take care
@@brentknoepfle7932 thank you! We are in the NE corner not too far from Canada, we are really loving it here so far. Beautiful country and loving the quiet and privacy.
The children will love the swing for years to come. I know because we do and did!
Dahlia's will not overwinter in your garden zone. I struggled with them in Cheyenne.
@@MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead I’m digging them up in the fall to split the tubers and store them through the winter. That way I have many more to plant next spring 😊
We almost moved to North Dakota. Instead, we ended up in northern Missouri. We moved from Cheyenne WY.
Use steeltoe shoes both of you unless you want to lose your feet and legs. Your really city people
Welcome to North Dakota! I live in eastern ND. We have some of the richest black soil you will find anywhere. Hope you have warm coats! Beautiful farm. 😊
@@janicehanson8688 thank you! Planting the garden has been a joy, the soil is so lovely!
A lot of your subscribers who are looking out for you have somesound advice, better clothes for protection in case of accidents. Better to be safe than sorry
Hello from across the border in Minnesota
Great Job guys!😇!😇!
Hi, if it was me, on that pole barn, id be thinking how to close it for those cold snowy North Dakota winters.
We’re considering it especially knowing the blizzards ND can get.
Please get some SHOES on...no flip flops PLEASE. The tiller will eat toes!
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
As an amputee who had the luxury of consultation and plenty of warning about my limb having to come off I’d have to agree with you, don’t let one dopey moment end up ruining your lives, no disrespect but check the manufacturers terms of liability, ithink you’ll find if your not wearing safety gloves or boots and glasses then if the machine malfunctions and starts chopping you up like meat pate I believe I’m right in saying you’ll be crap out of luck matey.
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.
Thank you for the advice, I was hoping it was mostly transplant shock but I’ll fertilize and see how it looks in a week or so. And yes we are close to that area, it’s beautiful country out here!
I like the videos but u should really wear proper protective dress for work with machinery-
Get proper farm footwear
Who tethers cows? Make that fence a priority over strawberries and what not.
Watch the rest of the video 😎
I'm looking forward to seeing how you all make it your own! Only thing that really jumped out at me, is please protect those toes! haha.
Where in ND please.
Moving to this somewhat remote area took a lot of courage and fortitude. It is a lovely place - thank you for sharing.
Saludos desde Indianapolis Indiana US para donde SE mudaron
Hi 👋 there. I'm Rogerio from Ancaster in canada 🇨🇦. I just started watching your video. I was born in Brazil, but been here in Canada for about 36 years. That's is dream, going Baca and becoming a farmer. Nothing big, just to be a self-sufficient. Love the country side, love the animals, and the form of living. I hope everything will be good to all your family. You know nothing comes easy in life, but keep fighting, keep strong. If you a God's belief most important is keep your faith. Gid will strengthen you when you down. I will keeping watching you guys. God bless you'll. Rogerio 🇨🇦
Hello 👋🤗
Excited to follow your journey ❤
What part of North Dakota? We spent 9yrs in grand forks county….❤
@@jef8528 we’re in Pembina County, about 1.5 hrs from Grand Forks 😊
very good work, i follow you from north africa (algeria)
Lovely rich soil.
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.
Thank you for the advice! First time using a rear tine tiller, let alone one that big and it really takes off with you 😅
Operating heavy equipment in crocs and flipflops , what can gobwrong? Definitely tuning in..
That garden soil looks great. No rocks!!! That really helps out.
You have done a lot from having to break the soil and start the garden way to go !!!
Crocks! Really? Bog guy on rider little gal trying to hold down a tiller. Good luck to yah there. You will be moving again.
Great job, can you grow potatoes there
Yes we can but I think it’s too late in the season, next year we will get them in early!
Huddle in the garage if the power goes out to keep warm. I don't see anything right with that as you have a family to think about as well as the adults. Why would you not install the wood fired stove in the house.??
I see you have alot of leaves on the ground. Couldn't you mulch the leaves up and cover your garlic beds with them during the winter. Just a thought.
You don't have to burn old wood ya know. You could use it in your garden beads as it will rot down and help the soil you are creating for the long haul. A thought as you continue your journey.
This can be a great channel. Just work on smooth transition from one thing to another. 🥰
Very nice family.❤️❤️❤️ love from Bangladesh
Three little piggies went to market....
Love the Farm Hands ❤️ The Toad was the star 😉
You crack me up “you make bad choices” 😂😂 you always bring home chickens or ducks 🤪😘
My self control has been amazing this past year 😂 I haven’t bought any animals that didn’t serve a purpose…until the ducks right before we move. Who doesn’t like moving with super messy ducks 🥴😂
Colt is such a good Boy! ❤️ You are Amazing Tab. Love you guys..More Video's 😉
Love you ❤️
So happy for you guys!! I'm sure you are gonna love it and the boys will be outside playing all day long without the worry of cars going by too fast.
Hi, we want to raise a couple of pigs for food for our family. Can you please share with me how you dispose of pig poo? Please and thank you.
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.
Great work
Love seeing the snow & the boys and all the fun Adventures to come this spring ❤️ Love You guys!❤️
I’ve never seen anyone cut the ev off like that ???
Yeah, they should have either A) went straight up through the roof from the inside instead of out the wall or B) used a lateral extension outside before going up
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.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this! This is a big help.
My goodness you guys have done great. Wish I could buy some of your chickens.
The cardboard will work very nice if you let it rot during the winter months. It helps the soil so roots can penetrate deeper. You still may have some weeds but it needs to rot before you plant over it.
Thank you! We’re going to invest a lot more time on the garden next season.
