Hey thanks for watching the video!
With all the craziness in the world, watching your farm videos just helps to remind me regular farm work still goes on, thanks for sharing
Lucky to have spare tractors! Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
Man what a great job/life you have. I really wish I stayed on my grandparents farm at times. It really is a job that at the end of the day, you actually feel like you accomplished something.
Equipment, My Dad and Grampa always stress to treat it like it was on the verge of breaking. Be extra careful operating and over maintain it. Also to give every new machine a chance to break in befor operating at full capacity when possible. I think it's saved me tons of time and money.
I like the way you say "we" a lot. It shows you think of your farm as a team effort. I also like that you can switch gears easily from one job to the next without complaining. Thumbs up!
awesome video Jan. Thank you very much
hey Jan,great job you did with the help from your sisters,good you had a other tractor to finsch your work.i almost can smell the silage,i love that smell.
Excellent drone footage!
Cloudy all weekend in Saskatoon and not a drop of rain. Looks like this weekend we are back in bake mode. Looking forward to a nice day of gentle rain.
2:51 that is a sick angle, absolutely love it!
It seems like it’s been awhile since we have seen you.
Great to see your sisters helping. Love your work ethic, always hard working, and doing it well.
I remember helping with silage at a local feedlot. They were spraying water on the silage in the pit while packing it. It was dry!
I definitely recommend using a 4wd tractor for pushing and do a lot more compacting on the pit I have been doing it for 35 years and we produce beautiful silage
Great to see you working together as a family. Keep the vlogs coming Jan. ;-)
Andy over at farm, fix, frabicate will spray water on the crop just in front of the chopper
As usual, thanks so much for sharing your day to day lives! 🇨🇦
All the work that goes into a gallon of milk at the store is staggering & totally amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Love the Canadian Home Depot buckets. That is a nice looking load of silage. Great video and thanks or sharing.
Great job!! I think it is great to see your sister working right alongside and throwing those tires just like any other farm hand. Running a milking operation is hard work, which us city slickers just don't appreciate enough. I hope you get a chance to take some time off over the summer. Cheers.
Just awesome drone shots
Great video, always enjoy the drone shots. Thanks.
Good job everyone excellent video
Awesome video.
I always enjoy and like definitely worth the watch
Thanks for the great video 🤠
The mighty Magnum saves the day again!
And remember Jan,, when the sun's out,, let the 6uns out, the ladies love that...
Silage looks good it so good to see young people working on the farm together. Keep up the good work young man
Thank you. More Dema interviews please!
Dry here in Manitoba’s Interlake as well. Hay is no heck but hoping for corn.
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
Awesome Video!!!
Two big tractors down. Ouch. Looks like it may be time to talk dad into that new Fendt!
Good video Jan!
good camera stuff !
Nice work we have a dairy farm to. It's a lot of work. 👍
Great vid Jan, Looks like it's time to call your friend @FullLineAustin, he can probably hook you up.
Get yourself set up in a new Fendt and put it on autopilot, you won't have to strain your neck looking back - LOL
I was wondering why you don’t run the plastic down the sides and over to stop leakage on the sides like The 10th generation farmer just wondering why by the way keep up the good work God bless stay healthy stay safe
Great awesome video Jan
Almost *150k* Cool , pretty lit
It’s always great to see different views of the work being done. Thanks for your efforts. 🏍🇺🇸🎒
Awesome shots Jan, the tip truck was great
You got some good angles on the vlog today. Hav a good nite guys 🌛
That looks like work!
That’s great drone footage. Thanks Naline/Nalene. Jan, have you seen Tom Pemberton’s hired guys who’ve got train wheels to pack down silage? It’s cool.
I'm of a good video young man from PA PA Guido here in California keep up the good work God-bless you guys you want a good job
Good video! Hope the breakdown isn't serious. Love the way you just do a quick fix and contiunueon.
Awesome vid Jan. Maybe you guys should demoa new versatile!
Question, what inoculate do you use? When you say expensive, guess per liter?
Not sure if your magnum has the same seat as ours, but the seats in our 7230s swivel. All we have to do is push a plastic lever on the left front of the seat down and then the seat is free to swivel.
you seem to be having some bad look with your tractors at the moment firs the MX285 now the Versatile i hope you get them back running soon would be cool if you could do a video of the MX285 been put back together again that would be a awesome video i really enjoy Silage time on the farm it is one of the times of year when the whole family comes together to help out so nice at the end to see family mucking in on sheeting up the pit looks a good crop lets hope 2nd cut is even better keep up the good work Jan from the U.K
That fendt you had there last would be nice to now lol if max lottery would just come in lol I'm have tractor troubles myself had fix the starter on mf 255 and know chain on wobble box on haybine broke jammed itself against wobble box and frame always when you need them dang things never brake sit there only when you need them
Another superb video - well done. Of general interest, how many 'cuts' would you get from each Alfalfa field ?
You should put the Kielstra Farms shirt in the merchandise selection. 🚜 🚜 🚜 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🚜 🚜 🚜
Yes
I second that thought. Have Kielstra Holsteins and SaskDutchKid merchandise would be awesome. I mentioned quite a ways back when I first discovered this site after following Eric Weaver (10th Generation Dairyman in western Pennsylvania) for the longest time. My favorite TH-camrs are The Weavers in Pennsylvania, USA, Jan the SaskDutchKid in Azquith, Saskatchewan, Canada, and Graeme Parker the Hoof GP in southwest Scotland. They always put quality videos out there and I learn something from each of them every time!!
I want one. 👍🏻
I do enjoy a good Canadian farm video, as a fellow Canadian I can relate. I hear you may be in for a bit of a heat wave in the next week 🥵
I love your intro
Does stacking the tires against the silage deter deer from climbing on top of the plastic? If more tires are better I wonder if you could fabricobble tire mats, and use the loader to move the mats rather than individual tires by hand?
To bad about the hydrolics -- with 2 tractors down, hope you don't have any more go down, you could run short
Can u do a farm/equipment tour? That would be awesome!!!
Excellent video Jan - I love to see the big machines in action.
Always love your videos!
How is the manure pit project going?
Lucky the 7130 was there never good having breakdowns in the middle of silage and especially as the versatile was the back up in the first place
👍
When it's dry you have to do a night shift let the dew set in "if you have any" keeps all the good stuff from being blown away.
Thank you
You are due for some more rain , as the forecast is for a very hot 🥵 week coming up
The scary thing is... I'm starting to know the layout of the farm.
❤
Great video. How worried do you get having your gopro on the ground with the truck so close. Looking forward to the next video.
Great video Jan!
You might have answered this in other videos. Where is the house, you show the barns,shops and silos. But no house. Just wondering. Love the videos, keep up the great work.
liked the video
Hey, if the alfalpha was so dry and struggling to blow out of the spout, surely slowing down would've helped- looked to be the shear amount of dry bulk going up the spout was the problem, losing the blow factor from the chopper? Seen wet silage struggle to blow, never dry like that?
Nice Video as always!
👍👌🇨🇦❤, another Sask boy, me too
Hi. Summer is defiantly the best time of the year
How much do you get paid???? I know, 100 bucks an hour!!! Hard work my friend!! Peace from SW Florida 🤗🤗🤗!!
Do you punch holes to the tires so they don't create an environment for mosquitoes/flies? Good video.
I like your farm your video is awesome Jan
Yeah Kid Dutch back in the house 👍 been watching another farm channel called Laura Farms check it out she’s pretty good and entertaining.
Who's dog was that? Looks like a happy chappie
Everything is so time -sensitive. Were I to try farming I'd crack up the first day.
Awesome video Jan! Is the inoculant like salad dressing for the cows? 👍👍👍
No, they
e mostly gone by the time the cows eat the silage. It's more likened to yeast in bread dough or starter in sourdough -- it affects the bacteria that will fermenting the silage, to produce the most/best feed for the coes.
Cows are going to love that fresh cut Alfalfa. Anybody can answer this, Will Jan start feeding this fresh cut alfalfa immediately to the cows or let it ferment under the plastic a few weeks before using?
Usually it stays under the sheets for a while. Only in an emergency situation when theres no other feed left we'll open it up early.
When are you going to show us the small forest that you can see in the intro? haha
Thank you bro I live for India
Really enjoy seeing how you guys dairy in Canada! Do you guys have any trouble with wheel loader transmissions pushing solve with them?
Magnum 4 ever 🚜
Love from India 🇳🇪❤️
What is that expensive green stuff you put in the bucket? What does it do? How does it work?
Mooie video weer👌💪 alfalfa is toch gewoon luzerne?
good alpha alpha grass silage preparation # but U have not pressed properly silage in the bunker before covering it with plastic sheets #
U got same problems as we do on our farm, machinery just doesn’t want to work lol
How come you don't use a high dump to save fuel on running the trucks?
we also did silage today but we did second cut
Nice video by the way that girl has massief arms greetings from a dutch farmer boy love you viedios
2:50 looks like a farming simulator view 😂
Is there an advantage to using bunker silos versus tower silos?
I expect a poured concrete bunker will last for decades, more than a tower silo.
Good morning
Sounds like the pump is going ?
today a wild one here there loved it. granny90
