Glad to see at least one person on TH-cam that understands TH-cam is way down the priority list. Your command of the equipment at your stage of life is most impressive.
Hello Erin does your dad watch your videos it's a pity if he don't you do such a good job put a lot of effort into it all he should be proud of you 👍🇮🇪
Thanks for the farming report. Better than a Les Nessman report. SOOO glad, you put farming first over this you tube junk. Farming is # 1. Everyone is depending on our farmers. Good luck on the planting.
Erin you do what's the best for you guys to run the farm justice. We enjoy your time that you spent giving your daily life. God bless. Field in Michigan
I love watching these videos. I think back to the days when I cultivated strawberries with a 20hp Farmall Cub Tractor. I worked for a neighbor who miked 6 cows by hand and still used milk cans. He never owned a baler, all the hay was loaded on a trailer with pitch forks. The equipment you use wouldn't fit in the fields we farmed. Later I managed a vineyard and really miss working with the vines.
It really amazing how much things have changed in 50 years. I grew up on a farm in the seventies and eighties and we had a 4 row corn planter, which worked most of the time. We actually had to steer the tractor in a straight row, and make sure the seeds were into the ground. We didn't have a cab on the tractor and we didn't even have a radio until about 1980. How things have changed, truly amazing 🤔
back in the late 50's and early 60's we used a McCormick 2 row horse drawn converted to pull behind the tractor with check chains . then a 2 row Massey Ferguson 3 pt planter. what a change it is now. esp the price of seed
Good to see your not letting the haters hold you back. The only reason people leave nasty comments is because there missing something in there life. Farm young lady!!!
I get the impression that you are well aware that you are living a charmed life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Just be aware that the future has a way of sneaking up on us. It's great that your dad gets you involved in all aspects of the business, including keeping his books. It may all come in handy some day. Try to do all you can to support your dad, and relieve him of as much stress and worry as possible. You want him to stay around as long as possible.
Hi Erin, thank you so much for your channel. Like another comment I grew up in the 70s and 80s on the farm it is amazing to see what all has changed but also stayed the same. What I love about your channel is just seeing the equipment being used, the day-to-day work on the farm as well because you, your family and other farmers feed America. Please keep the content coming when you can and just know we love your channel. Thanks!!
Erin, I appreciate the effort you make to provide basic detail such as the monitor display, seed cover level of picking up NH3 tanks. Keep doing what you're doing. Best wishes for planting.
Thanks! Another entertaining and inspiring video. I must admit that just watching you on camera and listening to your voice is amazing, yup, I’m a fan. The amount of technology involved in your Farming Business is truly remarkable. Your Dad’s organization, farming knowledge and equipment maintenance really shines when it’s time to plant, maintain and harvest. Thank you for making all of that so apparent over the past season. Keep up the great work and stay safe!
I like to imagine what my grandfather, who farmed with horses and tractors with steel wheels, would think of a tractor with an air-conditioned and heated cab and three computer screens. Thanks for the great videos Erin.
Good to see planting started. Some around here are putting in small grains and a few potatoes are going in. Things probably be in full swing soon if weather warms a bit and holds
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your life on the farm. It takes me back to my few months on my buddys farm in Ohio. By the way, I think you you have an adorable personality.
my dad retired from farming about 15 years ago. and he was a massey ferguson mechanic and wow tractors have come a long way. my dad had a older tractor even then. these things are like space ship. i move back to the good old midwest to a farm town surrounded by corn here in about 11 days. i cant wait. i been living on a huge volcano in oregon with ski resorts all over. i miss the good old midwest. these videos take me back plus you are adorable and fun to listen to.
Planting in mid-April; seems early. Growing up as a boy due east of you, the farmers wouldn't get out until early May typically. Fingers crossed for a very successful crop!
Erwin, you said we should ask questions ? I would really like to have you do a sit down with your Dad and your brother and give a history of your farm, and your family farming !!!
Awesome video thanks for sharing I think your videos are perfect this isn’t Hollywood it’s not supposed to be perfect people that in my opinion is what makes you great you are telling us how it is in real life god bless you and your family
Wow, operating modern farm equipment is as complex as flying an airplane! The more I learn from these videos the more in awe I am over the dedication and skills required for this profession: botanist, bookkeeping and accounting, IT professional, project management, networking, equipment repair and fabrication, etc. It has become very obvious to me that farmers don't get near the credit they deserve.
The young lady seems to be able to do everything that needs to be done on and off the farm. Snow is coming in tomorrow evening Erin, (Tuesday April 20th) Good old Indiana weather, if you don't like it hang around and it will change in 15 minutes. Really can't complain the weather this spring has not been bad at all. It has allowed me to plant a little over 1000 acres.
Erin, saw you upside down in the planter hoppers. One trick I saw a number of years ago an implemented was to bolt a gallon sized tin can to a 2x4, long enough to reach to the bottom of the hoppers an scoop out the seed to move seed as you may need too.
Hi Erin ! I think it's pretty cool that you have auto steering ! And someone just mentioned that you can have a drone to fly you out lunch or snacks now ! How convenient ! Anyway, thanks for the early video ! Happy planting ! Be Safe ! And keep that great smile ! 💜
Erin it’s so good your learning to do and operate all the equipment your Dad is getting older heaven forbid any thing should happen it’s good to know you can step in. My best had a small farm he had sugar he got sick and he can’t work and had 4 girls and they weren’t trained and everything they tried to do they broke something.
Being of your father's generation, allow me to share a thing or two if you will. First off, I'm guessing mom and dad are very proud of you. You are a testament to their character and it is abundantly clear that you have learned much for your few years. Granted, there is much more to learn but with all that you have acquired so far, there is no doubt that you'll get that as well. Secondly, you exercised some sound judgement choosing to come home to the farm. Your family has developed a world class operation there, things done the right way with the future in mind. There is no better place to learn "how" to do things than right there. Even if you make a career change down the road, what you learn there still plays. And finally, I'm from the generation of farmers where an umbrella mounted on the fender was high living when working the field. Yep, the generation that had to rotate crops and let fields lie fallow. I would like to hear all about the GPS control of the tractor and recording of planter activity. I'm guessing you still have to make the turns at the end of the field and you probably have to set field boundaries? I'm guessing the planter is tracking seed planting and recording that as well with the GPS data? AND I have one very big question, if the GPS system went down, I'm guessing there are manual overrides to all of that so you could still plant and harvest? Keep up the good work, enjoy your documenting all of this immensely. It's a far cry from when I left the farm in 1970.
Amazing work Erin, It's amazing and very helpful in ways for how you show people all over the world how your day to day out on a farm. I would love to live on a farm cleaner air then the big cities
That is totally amazing, how your tractor, combine will tell you all that information. Really amazing, what technology is at today. Wow. You’re a sweetie.Spiders are good, they keep a lot of insects like locusts away from your crops. They love locusts. I have five inch spiders that can eat a mouse.
Can you talk about the learning curve for learning all the technology and keeping up with new innovations in farming? How long did it take to learn how to run the equipment to plant, cultivate, harvest, etc.? What do you have to do to stay on top of new seeds, fertilizer, etc.?
That auto shut off on the planter is so cool. We can’t plant corn until the last two weeks of May due to possibly of frost. The planter seems to working pretty good for just starting Erin! Keep up the great videos
Hi Erin! Thank you for sharing your fist day of planting with us! I leave you just a few questions: 1)How fast do you go when planting? I could not see the speed on the monitor 2)What's the average soybeans planting date where you crop? 3)I'm aware that main soybeans producers states have experienced low temperatures, what's the minimun soil-temperature you consider to start planting? Thanks in advance, hope you have an excellent season! Best regards from Cordoba, Argentina! (here we are in the middle of soybeans harvest and starting with corn in a couple of weeks. Happy with the results)
I had to laugh at the spider part, glad you left it in the video! Unfortunately, we have not had the best start this year trying to work out the bugs and constant issues, and slow drying. Surprised to see that you plant a 2.5 and 2.6 considering we aren’t very far from each other. I’m not sure the lowest maturity we have planted, but we mostly stick around 3.6-4.0. I’d be curious to know more about what you planting and why you chose that in particular. Hopefully the snow day we got treated you well, lol.
Great video Erin as always, and yes that was funny Big Ass Spider. Those Hot Pockets looks and sounds good going to try and make them.Stay safe Erin and everyone GOD BLESS.
I watched your cordon blue recipe made it great but I added sautéed mushrooms onions and green peppers awesome thanks great videos keep up the good work God bless u and your family oh yeah its always snack time now I want snacks oh I love the raccoons you should get a tree frog there maximum cuteness😀
Very nice channel! It's nice to see that someone of a similar age is interested in this industry. I have been interested in agriculture for years, but in Poland this sector is poorly developed. After all, I think that someday I will be able to break free from the corporation and I will have the opportunity to develop in agriculture Greetings from Poland
looks good those R series JD are nice , looks like you need to put a Jerry-can full of water with a tap so you can rinse off before getting back in the cab 👍
I could listen to you talk to me all day long. What a hard working beautiful woman you are! Keep the vids coming
Glad to see at least one person on TH-cam that understands TH-cam is way down the priority list. Your command of the equipment at your stage of life is most impressive.
Hello Erin does your dad watch your videos it's a pity if he don't you do such a good job put a lot of effort into it all he should be proud of you 👍🇮🇪
I give Erin props running heavy equipment like a boss keep farming girl u rock
My apologizes for laughing out loud when I heard "oh shit thats a big ass spider"!... 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
@TreylnOK Virgen ears I see? lmao... Oh, I apologize for lmao...
Just love the way it looks inside the tractor when it starts getting dark out. So cool :)
Thanks for the farming report. Better than a Les Nessman report. SOOO glad, you put farming first over this you tube junk. Farming is # 1. Everyone is depending on our farmers. Good luck on the planting.

How things have changed, truly amazing 🤔
Sure has! I used to plow fields with a 3-bottom plow...
back in the late 50's and early 60's we used a McCormick 2 row horse drawn converted to pull behind the tractor with check chains . then a 2 row Massey Ferguson 3 pt planter. what a change it is now. esp the price of seed
The planter has the marker disk. She could use it if the auto steer fails.
not everyone has access to this kind of machinery today, they are fortunate
Totally agree. 40 acres took all day to plant or harvest with a 6 row planter and a 6 row corn head. Had many sunburns or "farmers tan"!
Good to see your not letting the haters hold you back. The only reason people leave nasty comments is because there missing something in there life. Farm young lady!!!
young ladies of agriculture are so encouraging! You, Laura and the NY farm girls etc. are doing great jobs.
I get the impression that you are well aware that you are living a charmed life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Just be aware that the future has a way of sneaking up on us. It's great that your dad gets you involved in all aspects of the business, including keeping his books. It may all come in handy some day. Try to do all you can to support your dad, and relieve him of as much stress and worry as possible. You want him to stay around as long as possible.
A lot of people don’t know how the large farms work any more. Thank you for sharing and keep the information coming.
Hi Erin, thank you so much for your channel. Like another comment I grew up in the 70s and 80s on the farm it is amazing to see what all has changed but also stayed the same.

I “LOVED” your “Unedited Comment” about the “Big Ass Spider”.
We get what you see.
😂📽📹🎥📷🤣
she should have chopped him with her Spyderco😁
That was on par with Laura (at Laura Farms) reacting to mice in the pivot pump engine. :)
Always feels good to have the first day out of the way. Doesn't matter if you are planting or harvesting it is good to have the first one done.
Erin, I appreciate the effort you make to provide basic detail such as the monitor display, seed cover level of picking up NH3 tanks. Keep doing what you're doing. Best wishes for planting.
Thanks! Another entertaining and inspiring video. I must admit that just watching you on camera and listening to your voice is amazing, yup, I’m a fan.

I like to imagine what my grandfather, who farmed with horses and tractors with steel wheels, would think of a tractor with an air-conditioned and heated cab and three computer screens. Thanks for the great videos Erin.
"Waddya need them there TV screens for? And three of them? That ain't farming!"
My Grandfather on my Dad's side used Mules... Miss those days out in the field with him as a Kid...
Wonder how many yrs life expectancy of farmers has risen since a/c became common on tractors?
Fun to watch this new stuff I plant with a mule and a pull behind plow
Farming before youtube! Amen!
First 50 seconds - truthful reality check. Great to see you have your priorities in order! Thanks for letting us join in the farming fun!
Amazing to see the technology at work on the farm today. Nothing like we had in the 70s and 80s. Stay safe
Long hours on a tractor! Some can, some can't. You can! Pretty Awesome!
Truck drivers have longer hours.
I had no idea so much of this planting was automated. Yes, Erin, tell us everything
Yep it is I'm planting my farm in Missouri but being a country boy from Missouri I'm going turkey hunting after all this
Well done Erin! I never had that technology growing up but that's awesome!!
Very interesting Erin.... Thanks for showing this.👍
You are the best!!, Good luck on your season
Awesome video Erin !! Keep up the good work.
Good to see planting started. Some around here are putting in small grains and a few potatoes are going in. Things probably be in full swing soon if weather warms a bit and holds
Good 1st days are always great. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for another great video y'all
Got to wear your hat more
Keep bringing great video's
May God bless you to have a good planting and harvest
Thank you so much for sharing with us your farming experience :) Appreciate it
Awesome seeing how it all works, many people just don't know, thanks for showing us Erin!
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your life on the farm. It takes me back to my few months on my buddys farm in Ohio. By the way, I think you you have an adorable personality.
Yes yes, I was dying to know what you were planting today 🍀 enjoy all your videos. Happy Planting from Orange Beach Alabama 🌞
Always fascinating. Thanks for the update.
Until I started watching you I never realized the technology involved in farming and everything you go through to bring a crop to yield.
Alright, you go girl 👏, now let's see you turn the steering off and do half a field 😉, keep up the great work 👍
Y'all remember when Bloomberg said he could teach anybody to farm. 😆 sure
my dad retired from farming about 15 years ago. and he was a massey ferguson mechanic and wow tractors have come a long way. my dad had a older tractor even then. these things are like space ship. i move back to the good old midwest to a farm town surrounded by corn here in about 11 days. i cant wait. i been living on a huge volcano in oregon with ski resorts all over. i miss the good old midwest. these videos take me back plus you are adorable and fun to listen to.
You are sooooo adorable, greetings from Southern California!!!
I watched you build those pockets in your kitchen, I'll bet they hit the spot! Tractor oven is a great idea, too.
Thanks for the great video ! Look forward to yours every week
Cheers to a new and prosperous season Erin 🍷🍷 glad to see you're feeling better as well!!!!
Sooo very insightful...tks for taking us aling for the ride...!!!
Great job Erin, enjoy your candid comments 😁
Thanks for the video Erin. Nice to see your feeling better and in the fields planting.
keep the videos coming sweet girl.
Love learning how to farm thanks guys for your beautiful vlogs was great fun
Great to be back in the fields. Great video Erin as always. Have a safe planting season.
Very cool. Your dad must be proud of you!
Planting in mid-April; seems early. Growing up as a boy due east of you, the farmers wouldn't get out until early May typically. Fingers crossed for a very successful crop!

Good job Erin! Amazing what the technology does for you nowadays!
Good luck seeding and spraying your 2021 crops
You are a highly intelligent, valuable resource for your operation
I enjoy watching your videos! It’s really awesome seeing ladies operating farm equipment. Good job and watch out for them spiders😂
Wow, operating modern farm equipment is as complex as flying an airplane! The more I learn from these videos the more in awe I am over the dedication and skills required for this profession: botanist, bookkeeping and accounting, IT professional, project management, networking, equipment repair and fabrication, etc. It has become very obvious to me that farmers don't get near the credit they deserve.
The vast majority of non farmers think farmers are just ignorant backwoods hicks driving around on tractors.
@@gregjames5070 Clearly those sorts of people have never visited a farm and asked the farmer about their job.
Nice video, the part with the gigantic spider was a classic good thing you had that knife , very informative on your monitor systems
Good Monday afternoon to you all in the USA from wellington Somerset in the UK
Hello my good friend from the homeland.
Love oshit that is a big ass spider good luck in the field we are only chisel plowing in PA
The young lady seems to be able to do everything that needs to be done on and off the farm.

Thank you for the best laugh i have had all day one big ass spider nice work your doing take care and stay safe please
doing just fine, some of us can handle a lot of detail, some overwhelmed. just let us keep company with you.
Another great vid! Good luck on the planting
Erin, saw you upside down in the planter hoppers. One trick I saw a number of years ago an implemented was to bolt a gallon sized tin can to a 2x4, long enough to reach to the bottom of the hoppers an scoop out the seed to move seed as you may need too.

Big ass spider, that was a Kardashian spider😁
Thank you for bringing us along on your

Love the videos Erin, nothing like a farm girl getting her hands dirty playing in the dirt and not caring... LOL
Can you talk about the learning curve for learning all the technology and keeping up with new innovations in farming? How long did it take to learn how to run the equipment to plant, cultivate, harvest, etc.? What do you have to do to stay on top of new seeds, fertilizer, etc.?
This is truly fascinating. I know it seems second nature to you, but I love it.
You explained everything perfectly, now I have know how the planting process works. Great video thxs👌
You are always active ... I wish you luck and thank you for sharing your videos, it is interesting
Hope you have a great season
That auto shut off on the planter is so cool. We can’t plant corn until the last two weeks of May due to possibly of frost. The planter seems to working pretty good for just starting Erin! Keep up the great videos
Great first of your video for myself. I am a TH-cam farm junkie and love the technology. Blessings from Ohio

If that was me and that spider, I'd still be running.
Hey Erin this was really cool! I don't know jack about farming and I found this to be fun to watch. Thanks :)
You are amazing Erin
5:29 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was hilarious!
Awesome job
looks good those R series JD are nice , looks like you need to put a Jerry-can full of water with a tap so you can rinse off before getting back in the cab 👍
