I am always impressed with how methodical you are and how organized you are when you head into a project. Great job!!!!! Indeed, a one man show on this project!
The never ending battle for truth, justice, and the American Way. Jason tackling Superman tasks and doing a fine job. If it was easy, everyone would do it. I remember my grandfather and a thousand acre farm. In it's hay day it needed all fifteen kids to keep up with the chores. By the time I knew him it was down to one man from four am to to about six pm daily seven days a week. Three milk cows, five pigs, about fifty steer plus hay fields, timber stands and pasture. That was a lot less than at it's peak. Granny had the truck garden, egg layers and berry stands plus nut trees to keep up with besides the household. They did not even notice the Great Depression since everything they needed was on the farm except flour, baking powder, and salt. All of which they traded for at the store with their butter that was hand churned from their milk cows. When they got electricity in the early sixties life got easier. Loved their rural electric co-op. They could stop pumping water by hand and get indoor plumbing. Had outhouse until mid sixties.
You are doing a great job, Jason. That high tunnel is coming along just fine. I don't think I have ever seen any one else do this solo. I know Lorraine and Penelope helped getting the poles in the ground and the hoops up. But since then you've been on your own. Shows that this product is well designed to be put together easily. Y'all have a Blessed day.
That high tunnel is huge. Going to be exciting to see what all you grow in it. Best wishes for a great growing season. ❤️😁🌹
I am so AMAZED with you and how you go,go,go. I so wish my husband and I had your kind of energy of getting things done 20 years ago. It's gonna be GREAT when it is all done. Awesome work Jason. 🙏🙏
Jason! You’re putting in sweat 😅 equity into your investment to grow more food for the family and cut those dang animals feed cost down. Jason you’re doing great.
Everything taked time. Dont worry! Happy new yeat, youre doing grest!
I needed this today. Had a rough day and y’all’s videos are always a relief for the mind. Thank you
I just realized your greenhouse is the size of my entire garden! That's crazy and awesome. Hopefully my family can buy property in the near future around the size of your property and all our garden dreams and animals dreams can come true!
Great work out 😊
Yes it was!
Looking good Jason! Almost done with the high tunnel! Awesome!
I like the way you show the method in detail, before you time-lapse. Good for us newbies!
The high tunnel is looking great!
Good progress there. 😊
Thanks! 😊
great video like your approach you and your family work together and achieve great results your place improves each day nice to see pride in everything you do
do u know why i watch u and many other like u
well I am a man of 75 who has lived and worked a farm all his life
I love watching u kids try to do what I did at 10 and having troubles doing them
At 75 my Kids and Gkids do most of the work (but then they have been doing that while their mother and i have taken our leisure for the last 30 yr). Today I can do about 3 hr of real work a day. Just enough to keep me fit and term. Have PAD so pain keeps me siting 12 hr a day so have lots of time to watch u kids while I sow. Yes a man who sows it was my father mother who taught me as she did all32 of her Gkids boy or girl. She said any man who could not make and mend his own cloths was useless to a woman. We learn how to cook her way to. On a wood burning stove with no measuring spoons or cups. It was a few pinches of this a handful of that...
@user-zk4vi5hw6x I love your comment. God bless you.
Our Kune gilt just had 6 piglets. Of course, right before the coldest week of the month so far. Off to get more straw!
Jason, I hope you all survived that wind and rain storm. We had it pretty bad here in Charlotte. There were tornado sightings just up the road from us and the creek behind us came over the top. Second time that’s happened in the 30 years we have been here!
Jason. I saw somewhere on line where you can hoist your tote up and put a tool in the bottom so you can open and close it to use only what you need. No unloading the whole thing.
How's you guys are ok with the storms coming your way.
Huge project solo! ❤
Jason you make it look almost effortless building the high tunnel. 😅 I’m sure it’s a job. I know you will totally love having it & reap many years of bountiful harvest!
I want to tell you that I absolutely LOVE the pigs🐷❤ I would love love love to have them as pets because there would be no way I could eat them 😂 They are just way too cute! They would be great playmates for my 2 French Bulldogs 😂🐷🐶 Actually they kind of favor- ears & appetite 😂😂😂
Please put some heat lamps for night time. I’m so worried they might get cold. Even for Zeke & Elvira. 🤷♀️ I know I’m a crazy fur baby mama. 😂😂😂
You are moving on!
howdy, I hope everyone is doing good ❤❤🙏🙏
when you lift the bags of feed you can cut the bottom and put the barrels under the bags
Jason perfection takes time and skill. You will get it done
Jason i did see somewhere that you can get a tool that punctures the bottom of the bag when hoisted so it can gravity feed into your barrels.i think its a farming tool.
Jason your pigs are beautiful and very good looking. Sure someday will be very good tasting, too. 😅 I was surprised about the pineapple top, they ate it!! I said to myself " plant" that pineapple top, you will be a proud papa of a pineapple plant 😊. Try it next time. That greenhouse is getting there, Lorraine must be ecstatic and looking forward to using it. Blessings. Laura M from Rockaway Park New York ❤😊❤❤❤❤
You might be able to grow pineapples in your high tunnel if you double insulate them the way Ben Hollar did his citrus.
You can plant pinaple tops and grow more pineapples.
Enjoyed the video 😊
Great job
You can grow the pineapple tops in a 5 gall bucket. It works .
Ofcourse i livd in the Carribbean.
Jason, March 11, is my birthday. Love the videos.
Thank you !!
I love the Kune Kune’s They’re soooooo cute!
Can you try to make some grain mover with a leaf blower? Could you just attach it to a hose and let the air move the grains? No more lifting, just start the blower to send grains over to the big bins..
Btw.. love your work. Hope my ideas are taken as just suggestions. I might not be good at saying it, but I have a lot of ideas. Admire your god way of working with powertools and wood. Wish we could have winters like yours. We got -20C last week and a lot of snow that stays for months. Keep up the good work.
Looks that this High tunnel puzzle is really well put together. You make it look so easy? 🤷♂️ great job
I think the words you were looking for was “the most tedious part”.🤓
Plant pineapple tops and grow pineapple in summer. They don’t need much water
I saw another f 0:45 ellow build a big tunnel..took him and a friend forever....it's strong enough to get through snowie snow winters..worth it in the end ......
Stop being so hard on yourself you are working on so many projects and doing an awesome job on all of them just pace yourself and give yourself a pat on the back 😊
I wonder if you took the top of a shop vac and set it on top of a metal barrel if you could just vacuum the feed over without shoveling. Just a thought. 🤔
😊 Lorraine i love Pad thai! I brt it was delicious 😊😊
Theres a Tornado coming
Do you reuse or recycle the bags that come with the feed? Couldn't you lift the bag up, place a big homemade funnel (with a door to control the flow), rip the bag open from the bottom, and place the barrels underneath?
Hey you could have grown 4 pineapples wit dat pineapple top.
Never mind. You just said what I typed…
God I wish o had the money for one of these
Waist high tunnels it is for now
Pigs 🐷 will eat most anything 😂scavenger
Jason, where do you get your feed and what brand?
❤❤❤❤
❤
Hijason i was wondering how much it cost to buy this high tunel sory i am not good in computer let me know please i am in proses of buying land and i realy need to have strong place for my stuf that i can maybe move later.thanks and happynew year.
March 11th is my birthday
Get your veiwers to pay to come help you.
I hate to see you working so hard by yourself.
Jason, for pretty much being a one-man show you are doing excellent! Also I love that you are cognizant of how your homestead looks. It is a pleasure watching all your videos. I salute your diligence in accomplishing all your projects.
Hear hear
❤
We are at about the same stage that you are on our high tunnel. Thank God that it has taken us longer than planned. We would have probably lost it in the storms that came through SE North Carolina this evening. Everything happens for a reason.
Jason I think you were born to be a farmer…I cannot for the life of me picture you behind a desk in some huge building in a big city😊.
Jason you work like a machine.
You are human and are doing a great job.
Some jobs take longer than others.
But everything you turn your hand to lasts 👏👏👏
Dont sweat the small stuff Jason , your doing great 😂🎉
The baby pigs seemed to have grown double their size overnight. I guess momma was "Hogging " all the food. Lol😅
😅
Hope you guys are doing ok in these storms!
Jason your only one person and i think your doing great hugsss
We would have to put out a sos for family to come out and help.😂
Looks good to me. These usually take three people 2 days. So give yourself so grace. You're doing amazing. God bless you and your family.
Are you going to put a water catchment system on your greenhouse like you did on your other greenhouse at your old place
Praying you make it through this cold, rain, snow, and wind snap. Stay warm.❤❤❤❤
Come on guys give Jason a thumbs up ! Hit that thumb up like it owes you $
They make a valve product that pierces through the bottom of a grain bag then you have valve control of your feed.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Great minds think alike 😉.
Jason others have mentioned what was thinking. Valve for the underneath part of the bag.
FLEDBAG online 👍👍🇨🇦
But does he reuse the bags?
Your doing an amazing job. The two of you did such a great job on your old homestead, Can't wait to watch how continue to transform this one. Thank you for the videos
Yeah, that’s the way it should be. Everybody has their own ball. I couldn’t even think about sharing my ball with anybody lol love watching your videos.
You certainly are a hard worker. Great job! Your infrastructure is very impressive.
I have so much fun watching your videos. Even the ‘mundane’ ones. Keep it up!
Keep it up Jason, you’re doing a great job! Thank you for sharing this with us!
We too Are in storm Rain snow ice wind,40 mph repeating fo 2 days and nights😊. Thank you JESUS for BLESSING each of us and protecting us in JESUS'S NAME AMEN HALLELUJAH AMEN SE MICHIGAN 🛐 great vlog. Waiting for the wiggly wire
You're doing a great job, Jason!!! It's so tedious you can't even say it!!!
Everything is a season. The secret is to fully embrace and love each season, even if it may be taking longer than expected. Everything happens in it's time. :) You guys are all doing great!
Great progress everywhere; thanks for posting your busy lives! Hope the storms aren’t bad there. We’re in a deep freeze now in Alberta, Canada. So far winter wasn’t that cold; now we’re dropping to -20 C & colder with wind chills 🤗💗🇨🇦
Jason, are you all safe with this severe weather? Praying that all my homesteader families are. ❤
I would like to know how you guys found your property in NC. Obviously not giving so many details, but at least the basic. Thank you!
I got all involved in watching you put that together and completely forgot that you have to keep changing camera angles as you go.
“We’re getting there, guys” 😂
Do you have a tractor with forks yet to move that feed?
I don’t
@@SowtheLand You need a tractor sponsor next!
@@anonymous_friend Yes 👍 Tractor 🚜
Jason you have accomplished alot on the high tunnel. With beign an design engineer you are familiar with designs of what hold the structure. I think your preplanning guide allows a smoother build. Its going to be done faster i think before your dead line. Also your fence line, as your taking it section by sections. Look how you work on unloading the feed. You dont complain about your farm tasks. Been in this rain storm here in morganton, nc waiting on load to leave out Wednesday the 10th. You can always use it. Blessing
Jason you can grow that pineapple top maybe in your green house. It will grow a pineapple too
I love your can do attitude ❤
You need to hire out the Justin's boys to come help you.
Stepping out and looking great today. Thumbs up 👍
Haven’t seen your in laws for a while. Have they moved? Kind of miss seeing them and hope they’re well
I was going to say pretty much the same thing.❤
🚛🚛
Jason have your seen the FLEDBAG piercing dispensers that might help you save time shoveling feed since you have the hoist and all. Love watching you man. Thank you
75 foot long high tunnel? Are you planning to triple the size of your garden this year? Or are you going to start selling at the farmer's market?
If you don't mind sharing; how long does it take for your pigs to eat that totebag full of grain? What's ground up in the grain tote bag? And how much does it cost?
Don’t those feed sacks have a tied shoot on them we use to hoist and untie them to add to feed mixes at the feed mill I worked at 👍either way you guys are killing it .
😊😊 March 11 is my birthday 🎉 to finish your high tunnel you might want to get a garden started b4 then? Or is this just for chickens?
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I hope you two had a great day.
Boy did you go out into left field with that music! Totally different than any of your other homesteaders! Love your high tunnel video’s!😊
@9:25 I did this same thing while giving a presentation at work not that long ago. I just moved on like you did here, I am glad you leave things like this in. I feel like it makes it feel more grounded, less scripted. it did make me laugh though. thanks for the videos
What if you tried using a shop vac to suck the feed from the bags to the drums? Not sure if you can just rest the vac on the drum without using the bottom hopper on the vacuum?
