I am a faithful watcher of farm and homesteader video's and I have yet to get a reply on any of them. I really love the workings on farm life as well as the animals. As I said before you have the best videos showing how a farm really should be. I love the interactions you have with your animals and the love you have for each one. I never knew how affectionate farm animals can be. Also, I enjoy the gardens Jason plants and Brooke showing us how to use the vegetables in different recipes and freeze drying. You are just full of information on everything. I learn from you something new every time. Keep up the good works. With love. ❤
Same here. The original owners of our home had fake French Drains. Nice, but not functional. So, I hired someone to put in real French drains. I did my research on how they are done, etc. I had 4 different people come by to give me an estimate and had them explain what they were going to do and how. Since 1) I am a woman so how would I understand what had to be done, 2) I am an older woman so I probably wouldn’t understand or know what ‘he’ was talking about…I truly hate men like that! I grew up in the South and dealt with that a lot. I grew up in the country and we did not call a repair person to fix things…we fixed things ourselves. Hell, I had grandparents AND parents that lived/grew up through the depression. Well I finally found one gentleman that explained what I needed, did not try to gouge me because where I live, and respected that I asked questions and had him explain. If I ask you a question, I already know what the answer should be. Ugh! Ok, that was a rant! French drain….
Mr. Gregg is the man. I had an irrigation guy put french drains around my house because my patio would turn into a swimming pool. The house was built in 1950 and I bought it in 2003 and no one did anything about the patio flooding! So the drainage guy did his thing and problem solved. I was so happy! No more flooding. I'm starting to let clover take over my lawn this year and I'm going to have to plant more of it. I read about clover and you only have to mow it after it flowers! So I told my gardener to leave it alone until it flowers and he thought it was a good idea. It looks really nice. So we are having a clover experiment here at the house. Oh and the squirrels and birds love the clover too. Also, thanks for the soap tip for cast iron. I was always nervous about using soap. I re-season after every wash.
I already did! Can't imagine how I got through all these years without adding that to my repertoire... You also have my permission to adopt "tougher than woodpecker lips"😂😂
Hi Jason and Brooke, l like Mr Greg’s idea, smart move. What you have done to your farm since moving in is astonishing. You and Brooke have a beautiful property and gorgeous home. Love your videos!! ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦
Loved this video! I'm glad you and the animals are staying warm! Great idea to consult Mr. Greg about the water pooling in the front yard. Mootilda is looking goooood!
Hi, Jason back in the day. All we had was cast iron to this day. I still do I love it, but my great Grandma told me you wanna resee's in the PAN every time you use it, but you want to do it when it's hot. Because that's when the pores of the metal is open. It absorbs more of that oil and builds that non stick coating better. Don't know if it's true, but that's what I was told so I thought I'd share it. Cause I'm old older than you guys, but I love your channel.Keep it coming thanks❤
My Mother ALWAYS Put her iron pan back in the oven to dry it out I put mine on top gas stove turn it on whip crisco in it then after turn fire off I rewhip it out dry. Never had a problem..
Pocket's blanket hooks are supposed to be crossed underneath. The back hook to the front hook and the front hook to the back , like an X under her belly
Bad info is everywhere. After boiling water in the pan, scrape with a hard plastic scraper, rinse with clear water, then dry. Sit pan on top of the stove, med heat, for a few minutes for all the moisture to be evaporated. Let the pan cool enough so you won't burn yourself and wipe a thin layer of oil on with a paper towel. If seasoning for the first time, heat, cool, oil 2 more times. Now you're good to go. Most important when using regularly, is heating briefly to evaporate all the moisture. Cool a bit and re-oil. Also, heat skillets well before adding foods.
Mr. Greg has the right idea with the area in front yard!!! Putting topsoil down will solve your issues real fast..💝🙏🏻 Growing up anytime I was in the woods, I washed up with our Lye Soap so I wouldn't have an issue with poison ivy or oak.
Ive used cast iron my whole life. I season while its hot. The pores are open to recieve the oil. I wash my pan set it on the heat for a quick time and then put a thin layer of oil. When I first find a old pan I put that thing in my wood smoker and set a big fire and let r cook. Lol Welcome to the cast iron family. You thought the birding family was something....you aint seen nothing yet! The cast iron community is vast!!❤❤❤❤
Good morning. Jason, your grandfather would be so very proud of you. He'll be watching you work on his tractor and there with you when you take it for the first drive when you finish the rebuild. What a treasure it is💙. OXOXO to you and all your family and animals ❣️
Hey Jason and Brooke, I had the same problem on the side of my house with flooding. So I had a French drain placed, which is what Mr. Greg recommends. It is the best thing ever! The grates sit a little below the sod and are hardly noticeable. I think you will like it once some grass has grown in. One thing, if you decide to go that route, I would recommend to not go over the grates/drain with the tractor. Use your push mower. Good luck! Stay warm and keep your babies safe and warm! I am northeast of Atlanta. We are getting the same weather as y’all!
I am in Western Ky. We just got a Dustin of snow but ice under it. More snow coming in this afternoon, off and on till this Sunday. So no telling what we will have when it’s over unless it goes a little north of us. I just heard that this cold covers across the US. Oh, we haven’t been above 30’ day and night for the last 4 days‼️ Just how long will it last❓🙏🙏🙏🙏. 👵🏻
Good Morning Jason and Brooke thank you for thawing out our Frozen Smiles and Making our Hearts Glow with Warmth. Even on the coldest days the Warmth you show to each other and to all the Two Legged / Four Legged in the pasture community is wonderful and Love is there Photobombing in your every encounter. Jason the Cast Iron Pans is going to spark a smile every time you use them because you have brought them back to life with your passion. Grandaddy’s Tractor will breathe life into Cog Hill and Harvest memories of your Wonderful Grandad, who we all got to Love. 😀👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰
What Mr Greg said is exactly what I was thinking for drainage, now!!! If anyone comes near my field cast iron skillet with soap better say their prayers 🤭 It isn’t necessary to use soap and most of the time it isn’t necessary to use water in it, I mostly use mine for eggs and it just get wiped out with paper towel. Now on occasion I’ve cooked something in it that required using water and a mesh metal scrubber I have and even then I don’t use soap but after I’m done cleaning it I put it on the burner to dry it good and while it’s still somewhat hot I rub oil back in it , mostly I just use bacon grease.
Hope y'all get that front yard area fixed with Mr Greg's help and also, hope you find some good Dutch Oven recipes from Cowboy Kent Rollins. Have a blessed day...IJN Amen.
They've been faithful with the physical therapy and that makes all the difference. Sometimes it's hard to do it because it's not necessarily comfortable. So they are to be commended.
Good morning Cog Squad, it is a bit nippy this morning. 🥶 that snow is not looking good, feeling bad for the animals and Brooke knowing how she hates the cold. ❤️❤️
My grandma showed me a little hack years ago before it was called “hack” After I wash my pan and before I wipe it with a smidge of crisco ,I set my pan on a warm electric burner (not hot or on) to let it dry while I finish up the dishes. I have a electric range . But if you used your gas oven for meal time you could stick it in your still warm oven too.. All this is after you have dried off your pans and skillets .I haven’t had a bit of rust or sticking drying out this way. Then I wipe with a tad of crisco.
That's what I was taught to do with my cast iron set that I had back when I was 18. I had to leave them behind when I left Texas to go back to Colorado on Greyhound bus. A mistake I wished that I hadn't made, it was several years before I stopped the mistakes. I plan on retiring to that area eventually.
The field above our house was draining into my backyard and pooling close to my back door. A french drain installed about 10 years ago has stopped the pooling. It will no doubt work as well for you.❤
Jason that tractor brings back loving memories of your grandaddy looking forward to seeing you using the tractor on your farm every time you use it you will have a great big smile on your face remembering him 🏩🏩🏩🏩
It got down to 5 degrees last night, but high up to 18 today. We have 8 inches of snow on the ground here in South Central IL. I know you all are cold too! We used to live in Dothan. Wish I was in Alabama now. 😃 Hope this doesn't last long. I am ready for SPRING!! Have a good one and stay warm!!😃
Mr Greg had good idea about the front yard ! Mootilda seems to be doing better and better everyday ! Gus and Loretta sure love the pumpkins ! God Bless ❤
Are y'all still thinkin of havin a pipe run to the pond from your well? That way, you'll have a way to fill it up when it gets low. Mootilda sure is a pretty little thang. Y'all are workin on her leg, and hopefully, it will be better than anyone would have expected. I pray she will someday be able to go in with the rest of the cows. 🙏🏼❤️ I am so happy you have decided to switch your tractor so you will be able to use it. Whether it's an antique or not, I think it's pretty, and it has sentimental value, which makes it more valuable than anything out there. I think your grandaddy would have been proud that you got the ole girl running again, and she has a little more giddyup in her hitch! I can't wait to see you drivin and workin her in the fields! Nice job on the all the cast iron! They look amazing! I'm like you in that I also wash my pan and after I wash it I put a little oil in it with a paper towel then stick it back in the oven while it's hot and let it sit in there til next use. Love your channels. God bless.😊❤
Prayers for California wildfires. It is horrendous! Late last night they put out "All hands on deck for any or all fire protection personnel. No matter how much or little fire experience you have" one site was pulling people onto the street to get the elder residents & aides from the burning building. They had no where to take them, but couldn't leave them in place. They have lost multiple fire apparatus and homes in The area. They've had to pull out and not even attempting to fight the fire. Only saving lives. Winds expected to reach as high 100mph overnight, haven't heard any more this morning. They A.L.L need our prayers and support.
I live in Los Angeles. I haven’t had to evacuate-yet. But friends have. Seeing the embers fly shows how vulnerable we are. It’s scary. I’m praying for all effected by the fires. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey Jason a French drain would definitely work there in front of your house. It’s a simple fix for your problem. We did it on our property and no more standing water.
I’ve been using cast iron to cook with for a long time. My Grandmother taught me things back years ago that stands true today with everything we are learning. I only cook with Avocado oil, Ghee, Beef Tallow, organic pure extra virgin olive oil,pure grass fed butter and on occasion organic coconut oil. People would be amazed with their blood work if they stopped all seed oils. I challenge friends and family all the time to have blood work done, stop seed oils and cook with cast iron for 6 months then have blood work done again. Needless to say I have some healthy friends and family now thanking me. Hope your New year is going well!
Jason…. How about a French drain. We had to do that on the side of our house because the house next door was higher up on that side of our property and the French drain worked. Oh, and water did get into our front bedroom from the water draining from their property down onto our home until we put the French drain in and it solve the problem. It’s not hard to do, but it will solve the problem and you won’t have that mess in front of your house and you don’t have to dig a ditch in front of your home.Just a suggestion. Love y’all blessings and thank you for the videos.❤
Great job Jason! I used Evapo-Rust to clean back to bare metal on over 100 pieces of cast iron. Then after proper wash, dry….I put no more than a tsp of Barlean’s fresh organic pure and unrefined Flax Oil, wipe it all over your cast iron making sure it covers all of it and it is wiped ‘clean.’ Since I have double ovens I could do up to 12 items at a time, and ‘baked’ it at 500 (not self cleaning). I did this process 4-5 times for each pan. LOVE MY CAST IRON!
I use mine all the time, clean it as necessary, dry it off, put it on the stove to fully dry then use a paper towel to put a light coat of hard shortening or lard all I er the pan and turn off stove and let it cool. Wipe again with a towel and it's ready for next use. Do this every time unless you don't need to wash it but can just wipe it out after use. So easy to care for.
I'm so glad that you are able to use your granddads tractor 👍 Was glad to see you work on the skillet 👍Stay warm and be safe 👍 God Bless the Cog Hill Farm 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing cast iron seasoning advice. I've got a skillet I bought several years ago that I worked on but it's still sticky so I'll try your method and hope I can fix it. I look so forward to watching your journey with your grandpa's tractor and seeing how you're able to work with it! My dad was a mechanic who worked on many different tractors and even though he's gone now, we still have a few of his old tractors and I hope our son will be able to have one when our mom is no longer with us.
Jason, get back inside, your making me cold haha!!! Praying that the animals stay warm!! Turn on a movie read a book take rest of the week off on me. Peaches will understand, stay warm and safe everyone ❤❤
That makes a lot of sense on the lye in the soap. I’ve got a Dutch oven pan with the lid, I pulled from an old Homestead. It’s a big rusty looking mess. I’m planning on doing it this Spring. But now I’m wanting to go on and start on it lol..
Just look at Moooooootilda using that leg! Keep it up girl.
Thanking Brooke and Jason for not letting nugget sit on those eggs especially with the cold front that you have right now there.
So is nugget lol 😆

I love Matilda’s little black freckles on her pink nose.
I had the same problem on my property and I ended up putting in what is called a "French Drain" and it has solved the problem completely
Best route to take.
Yes, French drains really work.
Jason what is a French Drain?👵🏻
@raymabradshaw5087 Google "French Drain." It explains... awesome little system.

Healthiest chicken flock I've ever seen
Aren't they beautiful!
Grandpa would be proud of how you are taking care of his tractor, i don't think he would have a problem with the conversion!❤❤❤
Grandpa had a work tractor & would want it to be the best work tractor 🚜 that it can be
Honey looks so much better than she did when you got her. I was worried about her back then. Thank you for your care of her.
Mootilda is looking and walking so much better!!! Can't wait to see Grand Dad's tractor up and running...y'all stay warm and safe
"hanging on there like hair in a biscuit" you guys crack me up

I look forward to seeing you using your late Grandaddy's tractor. It is such a fine homage to such a fine person. Stay warm and safe you all.
Glad to see your animals are able to get in out of the weather. Your barn is perfect for the need.
"...like a hair in a biscuit...." that one cracked me up.
🤣🤣🤣
me too 🤣
Yep Im stealing that! 😂
I already did! Can't imagine how I got through all these years without adding that to my repertoire...
You also have my permission to adopt "tougher than woodpecker lips"😂😂
@@siddie27 OK that one is VERY descriptive...gotta find an excuse to use that in the next few days for sure.
I have also added a French drain to the front of my property to Aid in overflow drainage issues. It did the trick
Hi Jason and Brooke, l like Mr Greg’s idea, smart move. What you have done to your farm since moving in is astonishing. You and Brooke have a beautiful property and gorgeous home. Love your videos!! ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦

Jason,thank you for showing us how to clean and season the cast Iron. I plan to get a few pieces and start using them.
I am rooting for you and the tractor.
Mr.Graig knows best like you said Jason.....can't wait to see end result.❤❤❤❤
Love you guys so much! You make me, and a lot of other people, happy. Take care.
Mr Greg is absolutely right.!!
Go for it Jason.!!
I'm with you Brooke. I don't like cold weather. I'm a spring/fall baby myself.
Wonderful video this morning, all the bright faces, and Mootilda scampering! Scampering! Love getting updates on so many projects too. Thank you!
I really appreciate the extra details on the cast iron seasoning.
Incredibly helpful info, thank you 🕊🇬🇧
Jason you have a great community of people who are there to support you in your tractor journey.
Hi, Jason back in the day. All we had was cast iron to this day. I still do I love it, but my great Grandma told me you wanna resee's in the PAN every time you use it, but you want to do it when it's hot. Because that's when the pores of the metal is open.

My Mother ALWAYS Put her iron pan back in the oven to dry it out I put mine on top gas stove turn it on whip crisco in it then after turn fire off I rewhip it out dry. Never had a problem..
That’s what I’ve always done.
My favorite farm babies look fantastic! All those beautiful faces! Makes me smile!
I think you have the sweetest fur babies ever. Hugh personalities. That baby Matilda has stolen my heart!
I hope Mootilda gets 99% but I feel the cold will affect her knee,leg. 😢 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Love her freckles.
I'm looking forward to seeing granddaddy's tractor working on the farm!! Stay warm Brooke!!!!
Pocket's blanket hooks are supposed to be crossed underneath. The back hook to the front hook and the front hook to the back , like an X under her belly
That's how my elderly mare needs her strapping to be. She just doesn't have the bulk to keep the blanket in place like my younger mare.
Yes,other wise it’s hanging side ways by morning.😊
That's awesome that the community has given you some great advice. 👏
Can't wait to see Granddaddy's tractor running 😍
I always think you have the best looking chickens around! 🐓❤🐓❤🐓
Bad info is everywhere. After boiling water in the pan, scrape with a hard plastic scraper, rinse with clear water, then dry.

Also, heat skillets well before adding foods.
That's what my daddy did back in the 1960s 1970s and so on.
Mr. Greg is absolutely right! Great idea!
That’s my favorite cornbread pan cause you get the crispy crust all over each piece 😋
Jason, you and Brooke give so much and deserve to receive. May God continue to bless you all. Thank you so much! ❤
Mr. Greg has the right idea with the area in front yard!!! Putting topsoil down will solve your issues real fast..💝🙏🏻

Hope y'all get that front yard area fixed with Mr Greg's help and also, hope you find some good Dutch Oven recipes from Cowboy Kent Rollins. Have a blessed day...IJN Amen.
Sending warm good mornings to my favorite channel. All the animals are looking so good. Especially Mootilda. Ya have done a miracle on that girl.❤😊
They've been faithful with the physical therapy and that makes all the difference. Sometimes it's hard to do it because it's not necessarily comfortable. So they are to be commended.
I'm with her, can't stand this weather.
Just love Cog Hill Farm. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The field above our house was draining into my backyard and pooling close to my back door. A french drain installed about 10 years ago has stopped the pooling. It will no doubt work as well for you.❤
Good morning to my favorite family! :) watching from VA
Another good video that was so sweet seeing Honey, and Jessie loving on each other ❤
Morning y'all, it's 930am & temp finally up to 33* here in Onalaska Tx, stay warm
❤watching the video ❤
Jason that tractor brings back loving memories of your grandaddy looking forward to seeing you using the tractor on your farm every time you use it you will have a great big smile on your face remembering him 🏩🏩🏩🏩
You need a french drain up there in front.
I was going to say the very same thing.
It got down to 5 degrees last night, but high up to 18 today. We have 8 inches of snow on the ground here in South Central IL. I know you all are cold too! We used to live in Dothan. Wish I was in Alabama now. 😃 Hope this doesn't last long. I am ready for SPRING!! Have a good one and stay warm!!😃
Jason, I just love your and Brooke’s Videos. And thank you for showing us how you season them.
Jason, for jobs like that with tight corners, I use a small grout cleaning (detail) brush with stiff bristles. It works great!
Good morning y’all. Keeping y’all and the babies in my thoughts and prayers in this weather. ❤❤
This was such a great video! A bit of everything! Much love to you all!!
Mr Greg had good idea about the front yard ! Mootilda seems to be doing better and better everyday ! Gus and Loretta sure love the pumpkins ! God Bless ❤

I love the pumpkiny blazer on You Jason, . Awesome combo with grey scarf and hat .
Me too. Gorgeous jacket.

We had a runoff pond and had the same problem
I will pray for everyone to be relocated to safe. Including pets and livestock !

Hey Jason a French drain would definitely work there in front of your house. It’s a simple fix for your problem. We did it on our property and no more standing water.
Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers always. Love and Blessings.

Good Morning. Great information Jason, thank you. Stay safe in this crazy weather, fires in the west, cold,snow, and ice in much of the rest.
Hi Cog Hill, the cold front just goes on and on.
Take care and stay warm
I’ve been using cast iron to cook with for a long time. My Grandmother taught me things back years ago that stands true today with everything we are learning. I only cook with Avocado oil, Ghee, Beef Tallow, organic pure extra virgin olive oil,pure grass fed butter and on occasion organic coconut oil. People would be amazed with their blood work if they stopped all seed oils. I challenge friends and family all the time to have blood work done, stop seed oils and cook with cast iron for 6 months then have blood work done again. Needless to say I have some healthy friends and family now thanking me. Hope your New year is going well!
Sending WARM good morning wishes to y'all! It's crazy you have to break up iced water! Stay cozy & safe!
Thanks for sharing! Stay warm!
Hello hope y'all are staying warm we got 17 inches of snow here in Kentucky
Jason…. How about a French drain. We had to do that on the side of our house because the house next door was higher up on that side of our property and the French drain worked. Oh, and water did get into our front bedroom from the water draining from their property down onto our home until we put the French drain in and it solve the problem. It’s not hard to do, but it will solve the problem and you won’t have that mess in front of your house and you don’t have to dig a ditch in front of your home.Just a suggestion. Love y’all blessings and thank you for the videos.❤
Great job Jason! I used Evapo-Rust to clean back to bare metal on over 100 pieces of cast iron. Then after proper wash, dry….I put no more than a tsp of Barlean’s fresh organic pure and unrefined Flax Oil, wipe it all over your cast iron making sure it covers all of it and it is wiped ‘clean.’ Since I have double ovens I could do up to 12 items at a time, and ‘baked’ it at 500 (not self cleaning). I did this process 4-5 times for each pan. LOVE MY CAST IRON!
Thanks for the video, stay warm.
I use mine all the time, clean it as necessary, dry it off, put it on the stove to fully dry then use a paper towel to put a light coat of hard shortening or lard all I er the pan and turn off stove and let it cool. Wipe again with a towel and it's ready for next use. Do this every time unless you don't need to wash it but can just wipe it out after use. So easy to care for.
Another great video. I loved 'when Papa tells you something, you listen". For Sure!❤❤
As always loving the cog Hill farm life and all each of you bring with your farm and family. ❤
I'm so glad that you are able to use your granddads tractor 👍 Was glad to see you work on the skillet 👍Stay warm and be safe 👍 God Bless the Cog Hill Farm 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing cast iron seasoning advice. I've got a skillet I bought several years ago that I worked on but it's still sticky so I'll try your method and hope I can fix it. I look so forward to watching your journey with your grandpa's tractor and seeing how you're able to work with it! My dad was a mechanic who worked on many different tractors and even though he's gone now, we still have a few of his old tractors and I hope our son will be able to have one when our mom is no longer with us.
Jason, get back inside, your making me cold haha!!! Praying that the animals stay warm!! Turn on a movie read a book take rest of the week off on me. Peaches will understand, stay warm and safe everyone ❤❤
Good morning Jason Brooke, and all the farm babies. I always enjoy your videos. 😊
That makes a lot of sense on the lye in the soap. I’ve got a Dutch oven pan with the lid, I pulled from an old Homestead. It’s a big rusty looking mess. I’m planning on doing it this Spring. But now I’m wanting to go on and start on it lol..
Jason, have you tried the metal dish cloths? I think they’re wonderful. They make cleaning so much easier and they don’t really cost that much.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
