Hi....Loved your History of Dale Farm...It was so relaxing to watch...just a Happy Video....Your Dad is so Cool and such a hard worker as you all are.....Jim and Sandy. USA
Those old pictures are real treasures.....and yes as long as you take care of the land it will grow turnips for another 140 years....👍 ps I've never hear of that breed of cow....
Joanna thank you for sharing that, your dad looks great for being born in 1880, tell him I’m only kidding. It’s so interesting about seeing the evolution of time, and history of where you are, where the farm has been, and where it is now, and the beautiful memories that come with it. Stay warm
Hey Joanna. It's so nice to here you're Dad talking about the history and his childhood on the farm. Those square bales the only memory I have of those on our old farm was the blisters in the hands haha
Beautiful that was joanna .thats another moment in time that you have just made sitting with your dad looking at some bygone times loved it and its always nice when some one can give you the back ground of a photo .ok be safe out there hi from lee in austrailia
@@DaleFarm hi joanna yes it is cos iv found out that when the older ones leve us the history gose with them and the storeys are never the same.ok be safe stay warm thank you xx
I loved it , thankyou for sharing .I know you all live as simple as possible , Was it simpler back in the old days or the same ?? I miss the country life .Love what you all have done with your farm .Preserve it .Liked when you noticed it's the same but not the same .Thankyou for sharing your farm with all .Take care , in Utah USA
Hey Nancy Thank you for watching, - I think it was simpler back then but we do stay pretty traditional and try to keep things simple now. Not everything in life is about money or buying fancy things to show off... even though a lot of people seem To do this as a badge of succes x
Evening Jo Oh how lovely to listen to your dad getting nostalgic looking at his great black & white photos of the past at Dale Farm. Nice to see you both relaxing in your lovely Farm house Take care Stay safe Kim x
Lovely nostalgic photos, interesting found myself thinking where they were stood in pic on your farm 😅, wonder if our digital photos still be on our mobiles in years to come 🤔, xx
Really enjoyed the nostalgia of your photos. And lovely to hear both of you reminisce on past memories. Amazing that the scenery hasn’t changed much, just the type of livestock. Hopefully you can find time for more 😌
I love these old pictures. My grandfather had a dairy farm and raised Brown Swiss. bottled the milk and pedaled it in town. We need these old memories to look back on.
I love history, old photos, and genealogy. I have photos of my grandfather from the early 1900s; one standing next to his Harley Davidson motorcycle with my grandmother. Another working a steam wood mill, and another running a road roller in 1913 building the road to the future site of William Randolph Hurst's castle in San Simeon, California. --- My grandfather's family on my mothers side came from the Norwish, England area. He got in trouble for "polluting the Queens waters" because he threw a bunch of hemp stalk in the river (old time pot farmer :>. He owned a ship and in the mid 1700's sailed to America and landed in Pennsylvania. He didn't get along well with the Mennonites there so sailed up to the New Jersey area and bought land from the Native Americans. Funny thing is that part of the family eventually mixed with my dad's side of the family, who were Mennonites from Switzerland who bought land from William Penn and settled in Pennsylvania.
I really enjoyed that. Fantastic video. I love anything to do with ag history. Old farms are fascinating. Your dad is a great character. Could listen to him for hours. More please.
Beautiful, beautiful video. The 1967 photo of your dad that was taken just 2 years before I came to Bedford, whew. Cherish this moment and do as many more as you possibly can, love it. Take care, stay safe and God bless all.
Love the trip down memory/history lane. Your Dad was adorable from an early age. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it and hope you will be able to share more in the future. Cozy day before the fire with a kitty on the sofa.....take care
Thank you Donna, yes the dark and rainy evenings at the moment are perfect for sitting in, having good food and some old photos to look over. Thanks for watching x
I love history ... the fact it’s all here at Dale Farm really makes it special and I have to try and make sure we work hard enough to keep the farm going x
Oh Joanna! You are such a farm girl! With your dirty fingernails. Glamorous yet not afraid to “get with it” dirty/hard work. I Love it! & I love hearing the history of the farm. So many stories that land could tell!❤️✌️
Thank you! I had been driving the tractor today and so my hands were really dusty and the dirt got under my nails , I hadn’t noticed! Hehe 😉 you know why my mum got me a nail brush for my birthday now! X
I loved see the old farm photos. I pit is so reassuring to see that some things have been preserved in time. Fields, stone walls buildings. Some day hold a few photo up as we look at the present day building or view.
Loved this. 💖 Hearing about your grand dad and other family working on Dale Farm. The pictures and stories were delightful. I could sit listening all day til the cows (& sheep!) come home! ~Tracy
Absolutely fascinating, I love old farming photos and farming history, especially when they have a personalised touch, they reminded me of my blissful childhood on the farm, I really enjoyed the time at home with you, respect John,it it looks lovely and cosy indoors keep safe and warm, love and best wishes, Kelvin
Hi Kelvin , times were simpler back then for sure ... will we ever have that again! Good to have the photos and memories to look back on. Proud to be part of dale farms history x
That was so lovely, real treasures to have pictures of the past generations who worked the same farm as you do now. And your Father was so cute as a little boy!!
I farm a sheep farm in Ireland with the help of my Father.It has been in our family for over 200 years but sadly I dont have any pictures or it. Love watching your Father and yourself doing the jobs together. Love the videos !
Enjoyed the video Don't know if anyone else has said but pretty shaw Adam was talking about blue Albion cattle on countryfile not so Long ago about being native to Derbyshire etc he has some also
Hi Jo and John that clip was really interesting 😊 telling us all about the farm. You getting to be quite a star John 🌟 Best wishes Ann and Dave xx 😘 Hope you're all keeping safely x
Wonderful love the history lesson and from the look on your dad's face i think he enjoyed it to. It's interesting how old things become new again. you mentioned how the buildings were set up facing south that's simply solar heating. I also remember in the states you could tell who was in charge in the family. If the man was boss the buildings were set in the center of the farm so it was easier for the horses if the woman was in charge it would be next to the road so she could visit with travelers. Thanks so much for the fireside chat stay safe and warm
love the history too weird me and my dad showed photos of the farm he grew up on and one of the estates he worked on love the one with his brand new mf 135 i theres just somthing facinating with farming back then
Loved the video - you must get the names and dates onto those photos - I have a box of great nostalgia but I don't know who it is or when it was taken or even where for some, but I know they are direct ancestors or siblings of direct ancestors, taken at some unknown miles in their lives, and no way to figure it out now.
You are so right. My siblings and i, now in our 60.s are presently trawling through hundreds of old b&w family photos, just like this vlog and remember the names of most and roughly the dates. We are cataloguing them all for future generations to appreciate. Ido hope that Johanna made more of these with her late great Dad. RIP.
Another top video ....be interested to know what year the farm got its first tractor and what happened to the horses? That series 1 Land Rover worth 30k + now!!
Hey there Joanna! This was a wonderful video, thank you for sharing it. It was great to see Farmer John as a young lad and a young man. I would imagine with all of the grain your granddad was growing that during World War II most of his farming efforts were directed toward growing grain and milk production? Now don’t needle your Dad too hard about how progressive he is or is not. It was only earlier this year he had to breakout and old set of scales that kept Dale Farm moving forward with sheep feeding during the first lockdown. I am not saying that all progressive new and improved ideas are bad, but a fair lot of them fail to match their billing. And when a new generation, not familiar with the old ways, find themselves in a pickle because of technology failure they are nothing more than a dead ship in the water. You mentioned, and have shown, your Granny Peg in an earlier video is she still with you in town?
Hey Bill, glad you enjoyed the video. Dad isn’t very progressive , he knows that , it was a little joke... we say he hates change and he fully admits he does! I accept he is how he is ❤️ my granny died a few years ago! She lived to be 90 ❤️
Right enjoyed that! Always interesting seeing how a farm was and how it’s progressed. We keep being given/sent pics of the estate from years back. Always fun trying to work out what’s still there or changed 😁. How come the farm stopped growing fodder?? X
Joanna do you know what the registration number was of your old series 1 Land Rover, I could do a search on the Series one Land Rover club members section to see if there is any mention of it if it has survived.
I mailed a package to you on 11/9/20 from the USA. You should have it by now. You may need to check with your postal office, as items I've mailed to the UK before end up being held there and not delivered to other people in the UK. I sent you an email about this, too, and did not get a reply.
That was lovely. Really good to hear a little of the family farm history. I wonder if your father ever listened to ‘On Your Farm’ on R4? My late father in law Anthony Parkin produced and presented it for 25 years. There’s a slightly fuzzy recording of one the programmes in 1984, via this link. Keep up the great work, Jo. Oh, and your dad, of course! sustainablefoodtrust.org/articles/on-your-farm/
There are some BBC4 "On Your Farm" episodes on archive.org, but they are from 2016 and 2017. Is this the same show? archive.org/search.php?query=on+your+farm
I haven't owned a television the last 11 years. I used to be able to receive 4 or 5 stations till they went digital in 2009. Then I could "barely" pick up 1 station, sometimes. There's no cable here, only satellite dish, and I'm not going to pay $50 or $100 (no idea how much it cost really) for bits of horrible tv shows sandwiched between advertisements. I get inundated with enough advertisements here on the internet, and have to pay for that privilege. I'm not going to pay to be inundated with ads for products I have no interest in on television too. --- A friend in England, a well known sound engineer, has a very old analog television he uses to play ancient video games on. He has no TV aerial on his house or even rabbit ears on the television. Every year the authorities come to his house and try to extort him for TV tax.
Thank you joanna and Joan for sharing you familia fotos .at . dale farm's 👏👏🤗🤗😘😘😘🌹🌹🌹

@@jamesrivis620: Yes, you are correct. I knew that, just made a typo.
That’s a fascinating and an exciting history. I think the shimwell family here haven’t moved around much at all!
You can't beat looking at old photos, can be a bit sad as well, seeing great people who are no longer with us. Nice video.
Hey Cara, yeah it’s sad sometimes but good to
Keep the memories alive xx

Totally, and I mean TOTALLY interesting you guys. I think John must be younger than me, when is his birthday ? I recall the boy's clothing so well !!.
Hey, John was born in 51 I think; and my mum in 53! X

Another top video ....be interested to know what year the farm got its first tractor and what happened to the horses? That series 1 Land Rover worth 30k + now!!
I will ask dad if he knows the answer!
the picture of the tall thin man holding the cow looks like Nick, check his ID card to make sure he's not 😂👍💪🚜 thanks Dale farm

Hey - glad you enjoyed it ... I don’t know why the changes...my grandad Jim must have increased the milking herd , and my dad followed that x
@@DaleFarm you’ll have to try and get your dad to sit down and film some of the farm stories from the past. They’d be interesting to listen to x
