Hey thanks for watching the video!
Jeff here, retired E-9, veteran and dairy farmer from Pennsylvania...I actually milked this morning and I am the greatest "FAN" of Jan, here on TH-cam!!!
Thank you for your service.
Thanks for your service sergeant and also your ability to farm and supply the public with good food! Army Vet here as well. Full respect to you!!
This Wisconsin Dairy Farm is 35 minutes drive from us. Great people doing fantastic work. Awesome video. Well done Kid.
That was pretty awesome Jan its always so interesting when you do a tour of different farm's. It's incredible the way technologies are changing in the dairy industry
Really enjoyed the video as always looking forward to the next one
Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮
Thank you for sharing. It’s nice to see how others operate
Great job Jan! As I watched this video I kept thinking it was a Dairy Farm documentary from National Geographic. The featured farm owners and their farm property was amazing and this Canadian likes them and approves. I was in Wisconsin for a short time in the late 1980s and all I can remember of them was their friendliness, pride and work ethic (and that because of the state's role in dairy they were known collectively as 'Cheese Heads'.
Impressed over The new milking parlor! And Impressed how calm cows and heffers beeing, and so clean shiny all animals be on this farm....
Thanks for sharing Jan , and thank Jeff for letting uses see how you do things on your farm . Hope maybe Jeff and his wife would start their own video’s. That is almost like the biggest milking dairy farm here in Indiana they milk 900 head or more . Never got to go see them do any of their milking all machine operated .
Thanks for sharing, Jan. Welcome to the US.
Great post, Jan! Jeff, the DeLaval guy, did a good job of explaining their new parlor and milk handling systems. Patty seemed downright 'giddy' right at first, to have the famous Jan Kielstra at the farm. 😄Their system for housing the youngest calves seems a bit inelegant compared to your calf barn, but I'm aware it's a common method for calf care.
Might have to do with the difference in weather between these locations.
Thanks for the farm tour, interesting. Great people. I think you should tour a dairy farm in every province and every state.
Including Alaska? Yulon? Nunavut? Might be hard to find many dairy farms in some of those places.
True, but you never know..gotta squeeze Hawaii in there too.
@@timothymbonham4453There are no commercial dairy farms in YK/NT/NU. There is only one in Alaska; 30 cows on a Lely robot.
Great tour , just amazing , thank you for sharing, explained well , take care !
Thank you.....great family farm
Interesting tour. Having lived in the city for 82 years, I did not see any difference (except double 16 vs double 12) in this milking operation from the Kielstra Farm. The cows still have to be herded into the milking parlor and the milkers connected individually by hand. However, I always enjoy seeing how others operate their farms.

Do you watch big travels because I’ve seen your comments on his video is it you or different person
Wisconsin, my home state. All my friends growing up were dairy farmers. A lot has changed in dairy farming since 1970.
Great Video, When I was milking cows we had just upgraded the shed to a 28 aside and we milked 500 cows, the majority herds of 500 cows plus would be milked in a Rotary now days! much more efficient! Thanks for sharing
This Canadian loved your farm!! From the parlour to the mini free stalls! And everything in between!! Would love to work on a farm like that.
Thanks for all you do to show us none farmers how it is done and thanks to the folks that let you in to show us the ropes.
Jan, this is such a great video showing new technology. I’ve milked thousands of cows in milking parlors, but never learned to put 4 teat cups on at once. The milking crew is adept at that. The cows are in great condition and act content. Such a great calf program. Your drone shots are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you friend for sharing another great experience during the visit to a new dairy in the US. Amazing.✌✌
Great look at a modern Wisconsin Dairy farm. Jan you do a great job explaining everything considering its not your farm.
Your farm tours are excellent Jan!
Very interesting seeing this collaboration in the making as a dairy farmer in the Netherlands!
Christoper from Minnesota here, Glade you had a chance to check out Wisconsin. We are now getting our first freeze here, I'm sure that the hard freeze is not to far away here.
Blessings for this farm and its owners ❤
Jan it might have been at the point in the process of milking but I noticed that their milking area is not as clean as you guys keep your milking area. I am sure it is clean as it needs to be for healthy safe milk production. Enjoyed seeing other milking operations. Cheers from Regina.
I have to say your parlour looks to be cleaner. I’m sure they clean as well but it was just 1st impression. It’s very interesting seeing how different farms operate. I wasn’t aware until later in the video how big this farm was.
Jan, I like the way you take care of your calves at your farm a LOT better. Love that they’re inside not exposed to the elements. That said, hope the extensions on the calf barns gets done quickly !! As you said, winter’s getting ready to settle in. Any word as to when they’ll be completed ?
Wow i am from the UK England love your set up the cow 🐄🐮🐄🐮 look so happy thanks for showing your farm we'll family farm god bless America
I thought it was a very nice and well organized dairy farm.
How ever, I was disappointed in how unclean the milking parlor was.
You milking parlor is spotless in comparison. Thanks for the tour.
Glad to see elegance and sophistication gainfully making dairy profitable and high level managed!
Welcome to Wisconsin I luve about 20 minutes away from Lake Mills my best friend lives in Lake Mills
I like the cleanliness of your home farm in Saskatchewan
1:59 Silly girl is chewing on her pen mate’s tail. Yummy! Tastes like manure! 🤤 😂
I love that Miss Patty wears makeup and earrings to work! Very classy touch, m’lady!
Great video, Jan. Very informative.
Thank you very interesting video it was good to see another Dairy too with new stuff going on thank you for taking the time did you go specially down there to just film this Farm
Great Video thanks for sharing.
Interesting video. Jan, I would love it if you setup a tour of D Dutchman Dairy in Sicamous, BC. Very interesting business where they produce cheese and ice cream that they sell right on the farm. Would love to see a “behind the scenes” tour of that place. Best ice cream ever!

I had the fortune to visit dairy farms in wisconsin from the uk, back almost 30 yrs ago. Most of the herds were 60-80 v high yielding cows, superb genetics, lived in tied stalls, ate, slept, crapped and milked at the same spot, in small barns, mainly because of the severe cold temps in the winter, especially near green bay etc, cows teats, ears would get frost bite if it was v cold. We saw a few herds in cubicles, blowing warm air into the sheds in winter. Was an excellent trip.
Welcome to america‘s dairyland! Although California Tops Wisconsin in production now. The once mom and pop farms that dotted the landscape are being replaced by the mega farm. Time changes everything. Enjoyed👍
You may want to come to Oklahoma to see the Braun's complete operations. Dairy, stores, milk operations.
Check out New Chester Dairy in Wisconsin, it was like 10,000 cows being milked in two Boumatic 80 stall Rotory platforms. It was impressive when I visited it in 2017
Welcome to the US Jan. Beautiful farm layout. Great video
great tour thanks
The germans like it also 😁👍
We're about 3 hours from that great farm thanks for sharing nice farm and parlor
Parlour would get some getting used to 😂 Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
The mini stalls are so cute
thank you, excellent
Very cool! Nice tour, Dolphs! Fun to see your parlor since I haven't seen it in person yet, looks great!
Love your trips to others farms to see different ways of operating.Thanks for a great video.
Always useful to see somebody else's way of doing a similar task.
One thing I have always wondered about the direct load. The milk goes in the tank at 34 F, and sits depending how long it takes to fill a trailer which I believe is insulated but not cooled. Then depending how far it is shipped to the plants, how much average temperature gain is there as apposed to going in the truck at 34 F and shipping right away? Not saying there is anything wrong with this method but it is just something I have always wondered. Great tour, excellent operation. Thanks to everyone that made it happen. Isn’t Wisconsin know for it’s cheese?
Thanks for feeding AMERICA. How many gallons of milk do you get from 500 milking cows ? Keep up the good work. Thanks again
Great video brother from the imperial county ca 🇺🇲
what fun to go on another farm, and check it out! Thx, Rob
nice farm folks on a nice farm
Thank you for sharing. Very informative.
Have a look at Farming, Fixing and Fabricating ... they are installing à rotating parlour ... huge
Jan has toured some farms with rotary parlors. That's their plan to upgrade sometime in the distant future.
This place is only 20 miles from my home farm. Neat to see someone close by in a video
Thank you
awesome large dairy farm 👍# always inform in which lactation the milking cows are & how much milk they are producing in 24 hours # dont allow dog to stand on silage since it will get pathgen contamination # 👍🇵🇰
interesting in that i am sure they would be mind blown by your calf barns and you would also have to be envious or their mini free stalls.. their arrangement for girls that are due looks incredibly labor intensive but as you said.. it also shows their commitment to ensuring the new mothers are attended to during and after the entire birthing process.. gotta admire that.. might have a straw customer there Jan lol.. that can be the only explanation for how rigid they are in terms of use of free stalls.. lack of available straw.....NOT lack of caring.. clearly
They would need an awfully big straw pack area, if they did it the way Jan does.
This was a fantastic video! thank you for sharing it with us
Jan real interesting video. Like to see other farms! 👍👍
Good stuff
Beautiful documentary. Pretty neat and amazing too.
Very interesting!!! Ty for sharing!!❤️🙏🇺🇲
HELLO from Minnesota! You should come to Minnesota sometime! 😊😊😊
Loved your Farm ❤
AWESOME!
Awesome video . thank you so much
Love the video bro cool stuff 😊
You should go to New York and do a tour of Hourigan family dairy sometime.
Andy has a good show but if you go north a few hours to Lowville there's a farm there that milks 10,000.
@@jefffraser6666 10000 incredible
Great video!!
Awesome farm !!!!
Thanks guys love your work ❤
Very cool, this farm is 27 mins from my front door, going to do a drive by next time I’m out that way. 🐄
Awesome! Love those cool soon to be new homeless shelters!
Great video tour
How do you choose which other farms to feature?
Always like when you tour other farms. Still watch the newmars farm video.
We make hydraulic hoses for Dolph dairy at HDM , get to see Chet's dad Don a couple times a week, sometimes a couple times a day
Love the farm tours!
Be interesting to hear the farms opinion of the state moving to eliminate illegal immigrants from working at dairy farms. Big story today about the workers. Milking cows is a difficult job that doesn’t pay well and some farms say they cannot survive if labor costs go up.
US is agriculturally blessed.. There are very few countries where one can find a regular farmer with such an operation. I personally have never seen a 1,100 acre farm here in Kenya. They are few and owned by rich companies...
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
These little dairys are cute. Im from yakima county. We had 2 double 50s
Thank God I didn't see any Green Bay Packer propaganda! LOL. Im from Minnesota. Great video as always.
that parlour central computer is more powerful than NASA's comps at days of Apollo missions
Awesome video
Hey just Lake Michigan between you and me in Northern Michigan
Thank you for sharing
Jan, this was a good farm but I have to say that I can see they miss the dutch roots. You should do a farm tour at Piet van Bedaf in North Dakota. They milk I believe 650 holstein cattle. Its a very clean farm and I believe they milk two double milktrucks a day. You probably know them already. His sister makes Gouda cheese and ice cream in a creamery nearby. Would also be nice for Miriam to visit them.
Awesome! I live in Wisconsin and I am a former milker.
Wow nice farm
How soon after birth are the bull calves shipped off the property?
Should have come to kaukana WI, theres a farm with over 5k cows, i used to work there years ago
The calf can walk around. LMAO
Very cool.
I would really like to know if their farm has benefited from the new trade deal that allows American dairy into Canada.
I’m from WI there is definitely a lot of large dairy’s, you should check out vandergess Dairy
