Your custom guys seem like a well oiled machine. Helps that they were probably motivated to get home at 1am too, but still they really seem well coordinated and efficient.
Up at 4:45am and still working at 1:00am the next morning. I wish everyone had that kind of work ethic. You and your family are an American Icon along with the rest of the family farmers. Great video and let us know the results from the cutting with the two different rakes. God Bless.
How can anybody give these farmers a thumbs down? This young man was up before the sun milking cows and he's still working around 1am. How many people who gave a thumbs down put in a 20 hour workday? Amazing.
Eric have I told you lately how much I appreciate you and dad for all your hard work for feeding us well I do I hope you had a good vacation with your family I think dad missed you when you were gone
Having used the Claas before I can say it’s a great bit of kit and packs up quite small too as you can remove the arms really easily. I haven’t used the wheel rake (we call them acrobat’s here in the UK) but I’m guessing at the very least they’re more efficient in terms of fuel as you don’t have to run the PTO as Eric mentioned
The smell of fresh cut alfalfa on the 15th of June....... It's been over 30 years, yet I can smell it even now, watching someone cut hay, like it was yesterday.
You are braver than I am, there would be no way I could have climbed the silo because height and me do not get along well. I have always wanted to see inside a HARVESTORE silo. In my area, HARVESTORE silos are the top of the line over regular silos and well worth the cost. It was nice to see the Jaguar forge harvesters in action. Keep up there good work, as always you're the videos are excellent.
Awesome sunrises and sunsets, but, dang, that was a long day. Terrific view from on top of the silo. You are a brave man to go up there to fix the pin hole. And then to go back up in the dark. Please stay safe so we can see you in the next video!
Glad you are back home. Your dad did a great job while you were gone. Glad everything went well today Alfalfa Harvest. Hope your wife and little girl ,and mom are doing well. See you later and a big thank you for everything tht you do for us.
Great video today! I learned a little more about how your milk is tested and what alfalfa is supposed to look like. Its amazing how green your grass is up there right now!
Did you say "let's go hay some mow!" ? Love your stuff, thanks for sharing! As always we're all grateful for what people like you produce for the rest of us. God bless.
Welcome back - hope you had a good break - watch that weather this evening - lots of rain and some pretty harsh storms embedded - be safe & be well 👍🙏🏻🇺🇸✊
This was a great video!! Love that alfalfa field!!!! 2nd cutting was awesome. Hope your family vacation was wonderful temp wise !! Always good being with family 💗😊🙋♀️
You definitely hayed some good mow. Are you going to hay some bales or silage some blow? We are bales some round now. The growing is corned. Oh well.... its time I cowed the milk and penned the scrape. Great a have day !
Your alfalfa looks fantastic! Nothing like the small of fresh cut hay. I am expressed with your work ethic and willingness to keep farming when many are moving on.
0:28 Lest go hay some mow? Good one, replayed that 5 times,,,,,,, just to make sure that I heard you right the first time, the other 4 times were just to have a good laugh. Hope that you and your family had a great time while you were away. Nice to have you back. And now on with the rest of your video. " ACTION "
Well I’m jealous. I cut about 400 acres a crop and none of it looks that heavy a crop. We are about two weeks to go for second. We have to water everything to get a crop. We haven’t had a good rain in three months. The dry farm crops are burning up. Some won’t make grain. The grains that will make grain will produce a quarter to half of normal. Normal dry farm wheat runs about 30 Bushel per acre. So be thankful you have gotten enough rain to produce the crops you have. If I didn’t irrigate my hay it would look like a barren waste land. We rely on mountain snow to carry us through the summer. We only got about 60% of normal mountain snow pack. To make matters worse our last frost was about a week ago. Didn’t do a lot of damage but we have been colder than normal and the alfalfa would freeze and stop growing and then it would get hot for a couple of days and then freeze again. Our first crop hay is about half of normal. So I feel I have the right to be jealous. Lolo
Nice job, Eric. You have a lot of work to do in one day. Silage for the future. Let's see the new barn layout. Curious have it will be set up. Looks like one side is open. Seems strange in an area where you have winter snow and cold. Nice vid, thanks.
Love the videos!! Next time you are in the market for a mower consider a krone. Have been running one for 10 year now and I love the quick change blades. The sound of a ratchet under the hood of a mower gives me some terrible flashbacks
you could put a flex seal or another type of rubber uv resistant paint on membrane on that whole top of the silo and eliminate any of those pinholes for years to come. would save you the trips outside that safety fence.
I’ve used that same Claas Liner for a few seasons of harvest here in the UK and loved it. Not used the type you usually use though so can’t compare it personally
@@Nick-B78 thanks for your reply, we have a good neighbor friend whom moved to this area from Lambourne some 30 yes ago,name of Cannings,,he had a business of baling a lot of of straw and selling to area .
great job hard work makes life, I would love to help you everything in Farmer but I never live in farmer know nothing about it, hard work makes life, take care yourself...
Your Dad did a great job covering for you last week.
“Go hay some mow” I laughed so hard when I heard that
it's a great joke though i wonder how the hay will some mow i wonder maybe i should ask eric?
LOL🤣😂🤣
That means he is tired. I know, I do it quite often now that I'm in my middle years.

Hope ur vacation was fun and relaxing! Nothing like a nice long recharge to get you back into the swing of things!

4am to 1am thoes are some long hours! Respect to you and all farmers of America 🇺🇸🙌
Farmers worldwide bro, not just in the US 🌍
Eric have I told you lately how much I appreciate you and dad for all your hard work for feeding us well I do I hope you had a good vacation with your family I think dad missed you when you were gone
He is the most underrated TH-cam channel like his vids are the best
Yes they are the best
338K viewers is nothing to sneeze at! The mystery to me is why Farmer on the Prairie hasn't taken off? Both excellent channels IMOH.
Love your vids Eric! Happy belated Father’s Day!
He's Close But Saskdutch Kid is Madly Underrated!
Yo u are right
It's amazing how you're always so chipper so early in the morning!
Great video. We will probably do second cutting haylage next week.
I love 482. Nice to see her again!
I think she's his favorite lol
Nice video! We are planning on harvesting 2nd cutting alfalfa next week. The growing season in our area is a couple weeks behind your’s.
Northern NYS cannot grow alfalfa.
Clover is the main hay crop, and Timothy.
This guy is amazing, he can drive tractor and harvest at same time that he is recording this video. Nice vídeo Eric!
I really like your vids. They are always interesting.
I look forward to seeing the results of the feed tests and if there is any difference between the rakes.
Yea, please let us know. Would be interesting

I’m looking forward to his barn being dun thats guna be awsome
Hello from southwest Florida.
Either mowing grass or plowing snow lol .
Always something to do in the farming industry.
Nice video, glad your back from your vacation, your dad did a great job, your new barn looking great.
Just bought 2 gal of milk. It's always there in the market waiting for us. Thank you milk producers!

Happy Fathers Day, Eric !!!

Thanks for the great video Eric. Love to come along with you as you work your farm.
Man that neighbors combine sure looked like an old 510 massey my dad ran one of them for many years
Long day. you guys work hard. thank you for keeping my table full. God Bless.
Glad you are back home. Your dad did a great job while you were gone. Glad everything went well today Alfalfa Harvest. Hope your wife and little girl ,and mom are doing well. See you later and a big thank you for everything tht you do for us.
We always dumped bags of corn cobbs on top of the unloader and a big pile in the center. Never had issues with it starting. Thx for the video!!
Nice mower camera angles I really liked them
That was a long day... Eric you are a good man! Great video dude keep em coming 👍
Great video today! I learned a little more about how your milk is tested and what alfalfa is supposed to look like. Its amazing how green your grass is up there right now!
Always love the view from the top of the silo! And love watching how sychronized they are harvesting from the field.
Good to see you back on the farm. Hope you and family had a great vacation.

Late night on the farm. Nice description of the two types of rakes. Good description of the milk testing.
You definitely hayed some good mow. Are you going to hay some bales or silage some blow? We are bales some round now. The growing is corned. Oh well.... its time I cowed the milk and penned the scrape. Great a have day !

Great night time shots!!! Great video and thank you
Great video eric, i hope you had an enjoyable vacation, thanks for being a farmer
Such long hours. Great job and God Bless
Thanks for the explanation of the rotary rakes Lyft when they come around. That makes a lot of sense
Welcome back. I hope you had a relaxing vacation. Thanks for the video it was really good.
Hi Eric and dad excellent video thanks you very much and always you and your dad and families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Get to the choppa"...that is one awesome device. Always like watching it go through forage like it's not even there.
Your alfalfa looks fantastic! Nothing like the small of fresh cut hay. I am expressed with your work ethic and willingness to keep farming when many are moving on.
Up at day break and work to 1AM that's the commitment it takes to be a successful dairy farm today!
Great video. Welcome back from vacation. Your custom people know how to work fast.
Did a great job dad! This kid is becoming a serious farmer. Seems to me you could turn that farm over to him tomorrow and he would be fine.
Those are some long days of work,
Great video!
"lets go hay some mow" great vid as usual, and youre dad is good at it as well!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY ERIC
Yay I have something fun to watch with my favorite and only dairy farmer later today!! Already gave my thumbs up!! 🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄
0:28-0:30….”let’s go hay some mow”. This dude is really funny sometimes.
Some times all the time haha
0:28 Lest go hay some mow? Good one, replayed that 5 times,,,,,,, just to make sure that I heard you right the first time, the other 4 times were just to have a good laugh. Hope that you and your family had a great time while you were away. Nice to have you back.
And now on with the rest of your video. " ACTION "
Don’t forget to be working on developing the 11th generation Dairyman!
JIM

Honestly thought that rock was going to be a Mountain Dew! 😊
only difference milking cows or being in jail-after all the chores you get to go home at nite-gotta love it and a work ethic like no other-good video
Great video. Nothing like coming off of vacation and pulling a 22 hour or so shift!
Love the perspectives you captured in this video! Great job!
Hi...I hope ur vacation was 👍. Happy ur back even though ur dad did a great job keeping us up to date.
I hope you enjoyed your vacation, I always enjoyed your videos keep up the good work
You are one hard worker to be fair.. brilliant content as usual my friend.. barn is coming on very nicely too.
You are amazing. 1:00 AM and you take the time to get that spill into the silo. Quality is your middle name.
Hello from Idaho...Great video. It does make a long day.
Nice job Eric keep up the good work love from the netherlands 👨🏼🌾🚜

See ya on the next one , ATV friend from Arizona
You cut like an artist. Very accurate. Bugs =protein.
Wow worked your tail off on this video. Thank you for all you do.
Another great video. 👍🏻👍🏻
Lancaster County PA crops....
Hole different world there than here in North central hills of PA
Nice crop Eric..... 👍
Nice video Eric, we mowed 2nd cut last week on June 14 I believe. Keep up the good videos.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing your interesting and important work!
Thank you for another great video of an impressive and long workday.
Good to have you back, hope you had a good vacation!
Nice job, Eric. You have a lot of work to do in one day. Silage for the future. Let's see the new barn layout. Curious have it will be set up. Looks like one side is open. Seems strange in an area where you have winter snow and cold. Nice vid, thanks.
Eric, once again I got no postcard from your vacation time off. Just kidding, glad to see you safe and back at work. Dave did fine. Bob
Great video Eric of how you're chopping & cutting alfalfa for silage
U are 1 dedicated utuber. Excellent
Sunrise 🌅to sun set & beyond ✨. Bless all of you 🙏
Real hard work... From 4:30am to 1:00am..
Amazing...
Love the videos!! Next time you are in the market for a mower consider a krone. Have been running one for 10 year now and I love the quick change blades. The sound of a ratchet under the hood of a mower gives me some terrible flashbacks
you could put a flex seal or another type of rubber uv resistant paint on membrane on that whole top of the silo and eliminate any of those pinholes for years to come. would save you the trips outside that safety fence.
I’ve used that same Claas Liner for a few seasons of harvest here in the UK and loved it. Not used the type you usually use though so can’t compare it personally
Where in the UK Nick?, I'm in West Wales.
@@ianthomas6656 I used to work contract harvest around the Lambourn area in Berkshire but now own a livery yard with some land in Wiltshire
@@Nick-B78 thanks for your reply, we have a good neighbor friend whom moved to this area from Lambourne some 30 yes ago,name of Cannings,,he had a business of baling a lot of of straw and selling to area .
@@ianthomas6656 yeah I think I’ve heard of him. I used to work for a guy called Blaze who I bet he’d know
great job hard work makes life, I would love to help you everything in Farmer but I never live in farmer know nothing about it, hard work makes life, take care yourself...
Just gat dun silage here in Western Norway. We just have 50 sheep and 2 cutting of silage of 1,5 Acer of grass. Keep on going.
You had some beautiful alfalfa stands.
Love your videos keep up the good content
Was always a rake my part of uk 🤔 interesting to see how others do it! Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
I have great respect for you lad . You work very hard 🇬🇧
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!!!
Folks have no idea how hard dairy farmers work..............thanks!
Hope you had great holiday! Glad you are aware of burnout. Your well being is important, body and mind!
Eric how was your vacation? Hope it was great you & your dad are good hard working people and deserve a few weeks a year to get away.
