All the farmers in our rural neighbourhood got together to help each other spread manure back in the day we called it a “bee” so no one complained of the smell. All the wives would help cook for the lady who’s farm was being cleaned out. It was amazing. We had wood cutting bees, Plowing bees, thrashing bees, corn harvesting bees. We just helped out each other. Great memories.🇨🇦
I remember that. Everyone just went from farm to farm on various tasks. It worked great then you had people from the city move in and tried to turn it into a business. That’swhen it went to shit and people started losing their farms.
In all honesty, while I'm def not craving chocolate milk at the moment, this is why I watch your channel over others. You don't shy away from any of the work, not just the dirty but what city folks would wrinkle their nose up and say gross at. I'm here because I love seeing the work that it takes to dairy farm and you show it. Thank you.
While a woman's work is never done around the house - A farmer's work is truly NEVER done on the farm. Thank you for sharing about all the manure challenges - it was interesting to see the ingenuity that goes into solving the challenges, whether it's manure or welding. Thank you for all the effort you put in. God Bless.
Yea, your lucky, but me, oooo I know what it smells like and its horrible.. sometimes, I imagine in the summer it smells worse because of the heat. During the colder times you cant really smell it
@@trythinking6676 Eehh I got used to it sort of. The smell doesnt really bother me. The guys/adults usually eat first because the kids take forever and we go to the ranch earlier than anyone else so its not like were getting "complaints" from the kids saying oh you stink or something like that. But yeah no one likes the smell, at first I wanted to change my work clothes as soon as they stunk like pig crap, now I just got used to it and change the shirts every morning and change the pants every other.
yes - i just spent my lunch hour watching the experience of manure farming. i'd do it again in a heartbeat! learned 2 things: a whole new meaning to black friday and real manure farmers don't wear gloves.
Spreading the manure made me laugh for when I was stationed in Germany in 1971-1973 there was a German farmer that hated the American troops and would spread the manure when we were upwind from this fields and boy did it stink !! lol !! Keep farming and a nice video. Thanks from New England.
I’ve got covid my smell and taste stopped working 67 years old so that job could be mine today live in Chapel Hill NC enjoy watching y’all worked on a Dairy in Mooresville NC grew up on a 200 acre farm small to what y’all do
Enjoyed this video! I don’t think many of our urban brethren realize how sustainable modern dairy production has become; what with the source of some of the commodities used in feed and the benefits of manure fertilizer. BTW, like you, I learned to stick weld on the farm; the skill came in handy when looking for summer jobs to earn college tuition. Nicely done, Eric!
Whenever I see the manure pit open, I always think of Dr Malcolm’s line in Jurassic park. When he’s standing next to the Triceratops dung... Anywho, hats off to you, good sir. I can remember the few days I spent on farms of varying sorts and the smell was pretty rough even then. Can’t even imagine a barn pit of 8ft deep. Still, love the videos. Always a highlight in my days. God bless you, sir. Cheers!
Hi Eric, my two boys, age 10 and 7 LOVE watching your videos!! We live in Somerset County, but were in your area yesterday. Found your farm and the boys wanted to stop so bad. Just wanted to let you know how much they love your videos! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Just saw a video Eric from a TH-camr, (Down On The Farm), where they were telling about you and your farm. That is quite the compliment to have someone recognize you for your hard work and dedication to farming. Thanks for sharing your video's.
I saw your manure hauling video about a year ago, first time I had seen your channel. It was interesting and that's why I starting watching your channel on a regular basis. Thanks and keep making great vids!
Mad respect for how hard you work. Your old man outta be damn proud of you for sticking with a job that in all honesty really isn't all that glamorous. Today's kids can't even spell work ethic. You have it in spades bud.
Manure Farming is a very apt title for this video. I would have never guessed that dairy farming involved so much crap management. Even more surprising is how interesting it all is! :-) Thanks for posting!
Conversation during the video between my 10 yr old daughter and 5 yr old son while watching one of the many liquid manure shots today. 10 yr old: He's just showing that cause his wife hates it. 5 yr old: no, he's showing that because I like it. LOL love all your videos.
I want to let you know how much my wife and I enjoy watching your videos. I spent the first 35 years of my life on a small dairy farm in southern Idaho. Just me and my dad milked 50 head twice a day. Compared to our farm, yours is a palace. I wish we had a lot of the equipment that you have. You're an amazing hard working guy and I like seeing how good you work with your dad. Keep up the good work.
Im just a web developer, but I cant stop watching farming videos for some reason lol.. absolutely fascinating, complex, and brilliant work you guys do. Just wanted to say I appreciate and respect you all!
when you welded that sprocket and poured water on it that water crystalized the weld . could have wrapped a wet rag around the shaft to help from over hearing and let it cool on it's own.
You ever get that feeling the cows give back more than you gave them. That was alot alot of manure. Lol. You guys should get a new grinder for the feed be a good investment sense you guys use it so much. Thanks for the video and glad dad is doing good hope your wife and daughter are well. 🇺🇲
Good job, Eric. I bet your Mom and Dad are very proud of you. You know, if you were to find a prosthetic brow ridge, you could double for James Franko...Way back when, that is...
Just a suggestion - instead of caulking the holes in the sheet metal install a plug screw, they are made for this purpose. I believe they are a #17 plug screw with a rubber washer.
I ran the manure, truck for 18 months at a farm in Vermont. We got good at making solids pumpsble. At a farm in Maryland we had contract poop pumpers come. That was an exciting week!
Manure management time was a fun time on our farm. It was the only time we got out in our fields with our equipment, rather than the neighbor who we rented out to. We had caged chickens and would set the watering cups to overflow to add water into the pits so that we could pump it out with the "honeywagon". Once it rusted through, then we hired it out and there was no more field work.
Erik we have all had days like yours. The muck docent always run were its supposed to but well done for getting the blockage sorted out. Interesting video
This was one of the best. It shows just how hectic a farmer is who is successful. The manure in that last shed you were in was too thick so it will need hauled in a manure spreader. I can't even think what you would call a tank with liquid manure because it would do the same thing as the old time spreaders.
Amazing that you can empty the manure storage and get it on the fields in one day, even with a challenge of the dry stuff. Just think, done until next year. I always thought that a farmer who couldn't manage his manure couldn't manage his farm. You are managing well!

Puts a different spin on, "shitty times"

Ew gross
Respect to you. The work never seems to stop on a dairy farm.
Glad your dad is feeling better.

I love that folks who watch sent those masks to you! What a great community of supporters! Another great video!
Okay... but can we talk about your skills in backing up that spreader in such a space!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sitting here eating raisin toast, I am yet again very glad for my lack of smell-o-vision.
Yea, your lucky, but me, oooo I know what it smells like and its horrible.. sometimes, I imagine in the summer it smells worse because of the heat. During the colder times you cant really smell it
Here I sit eating chicken tenders and watching Eric talk about cow manure,now where’s that smell-a-vision at?
Hog manure is the worst, compared to cow manure
I don't mind it, but don't want to eat when I can smell it.
@@trythinking6676 Eehh I got used to it sort of. The smell doesnt really bother me.

Its good to see your Dad up and getting back to it. It looks like he healed up well.
The never ending supply of poop is amazing. Interesting learning how you pump the manure up for fertilization in the fields.
Love your videos
Always a good Day watching the Dairy farm
💯
Eric, my favorite farm video. Thanks for keeping them simple and real. Good to see your Dad doing much better.
Eric was your Dad sick?
Boy you had very busy day, but looks to be a good day, and good to see your dad working again.
Welp. Never thought I would be entertained by cow poop being sprayed onto the ground. BUT! you did it!
Glad to see dads arm/shoulder is doing a lot better! I'm sure being restricted it was hard to sit back and watch
yes - i just spent my lunch hour watching the experience of manure farming. i'd do it again in a heartbeat! learned 2 things: a whole new meaning to black friday and real manure farmers don't wear gloves.
Cow are standing there watching and blaming each other for the toilet backing up.
Eric - I am so glad there are people like you who can handle all that "manure". The smell must be overpowering. I doubt I would last 5 minutes.

Thanks for being a dairy farmer and producing good milk Eric have a good day😀
The shot off the back of the spreader was really interesting. Nice.
I'm halfway through your playlist and this is by far the grossest video so far. I love it! Keep it up!

There’s a lot of work running a farm like yours!! You work hard, hope it’s enjoyable! I live in Texas and have several here. Love watching!
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!!
Just gotta say I love that song you use during those drone shots.
I saw your manure hauling video about a year ago, first time I had seen your channel. It was interesting and that's why I starting watching your channel on a regular basis. Thanks and keep making great vids!
I work on a dairy farm and it’s great to see a different way to do the same job.
A really great video! Showing the real work and what it takes to keep a farm running properly as a business.
Mwas kumbe uko huku😄
@@nusaania2950 Nani huyu nusaa Nia?
Your dad is back at full steam, glad to see that.
Lots of issues to deal with today, makes for an entertaining video, I'm even tired after all that.
Thanks Eric. Good to get those pits cleaned. What a nasty bunch!
Mad respect for how hard you work. Your old man outta be damn proud of you for sticking with a job that in all honesty really isn't all that glamorous. Today's kids can't even spell work ethic. You have it in spades bud.
It’s always fun to see you doing the stuff and making your video when we deliver grand across the street from you
Great video eric. I learned something new, about the manure pumping , thanks for being a farmer
Manure Farming is a very apt title for this video. I would have never guessed that dairy farming involved so much crap management. Even more surprising is how interesting it all is! :-) Thanks for posting!
Respect to you doing this work WITHOUT gloves on!

love all your videos.
For some reason the words, "manure farming" reminds me of Congress.
Only thing is you are productive and make lives better.
And you know what you are getting
And all those jackarses in DC
At least manure has a purpose..
Please don't insult manure . It does way more for the U.S.A then congress
To some this may seem like manure but to those of us who have farmed, or are farming, this is education. Thanks.
I want to let you know how much my wife and I enjoy watching your videos. I spent the first 35 years of my life on a small dairy farm in southern Idaho. Just me and my dad milked 50 head twice a day.

Loved that song you played around 18:30.
Saw the title and thought, well, I finished lunch int he nick of time. Bring it on!
Your so inspiring Eric I love your farm
Boy, I would love to drive that spreader down Main St in Washington DC!😜
Lol full of manure to
That manure pump is nice that they don’t have to have 2 different pieces of equipment
I just checked out your channel! It’s cool. I have a channel too in PA we milk around 50 cows.
I just subscribed to your channel it’s nice to see other young dairy farmers
Im just a web developer, but I cant stop watching farming videos for some reason lol.. absolutely fascinating, complex, and brilliant work you guys do. Just wanted to say I appreciate and respect you all!
@@bzuulu thanks
@@bzuulu Thanks
You, sir, are one hard working son of a gun! I get tired just watching y'all! I applaud your family farm!!
So glad your dad is doing better. Never ending work on a dairy farm.
Thanks for sharing your videos. God bless
Dad seems to be completely healed. Good to see.
I grew up on a ranch and feedlot. Some days all you have are the “crap” jobs". I am impressed with your manure management.
Ive watched this video at least three times over the past year. It doesn't really get old. Great stuff!
Nice, manure hauling and driving under the chopper are probably my favorite jobs 😅 we haul all dry manure though
I have to say the silage shaver is my favorite machine to watch.
when you welded that sprocket and poured water on it that water crystalized the weld . could have wrapped a wet rag around the shaft to help from over hearing and let it cool on it's own.
I had no idea that manure hauling could be a stand alone business.
Lots of outfits around that do custom spreading full time
Big money in cow Sh*%
That's what my profession is.
Lots of farms do custom work to offset the cost of specialized equipment.
You ever get that feeling the cows give back more than you gave them. That was alot alot of manure. Lol. You guys should get a new grinder for the feed be a good investment sense you guys use it so much. Thanks for the video and glad dad is doing good hope your wife and daughter are well. 🇺🇲
Good job, Eric. I bet your Mom and Dad are very proud of you. You know, if you were to find a prosthetic brow ridge, you could double for James Franko...Way back when, that is...
I've been hoping for another video! Have a great day.
Just a suggestion - instead of caulking the holes in the sheet metal install a plug screw, they are made for this purpose. I believe they are a #17 plug screw with a rubber washer.
Really like the AGCO tractors, especially the 8700S Massey. Great video
Every video I watch I am impressed (awed) by the amount of work performed during a day.
was feeling a bit low, thankfully you uploaded that lifted my mood a bit. thank you.
Glad to see your dad able to use his arm and shoulder!
So y'all had a bit of a poopie day lol yall be safe love the vids. Good to see your dad is doin good. 👍✌
Nice video! We have a lagoon that we push our liquid manure in to from the dairy barn. The only down side is we have to scrape the barn.
Your reversing skill are amazing Eric...
Thanks for all videos, just love watching you doing your everyday tasks. From the drone videos on down to dealing with the cow leftovers on the field.
I said oh good Eric has a new video. I’ll watch it during my lunch hour. Um 😐 not a lunch hour video! 😂. I do love all your videos 🙋♀️🌸
I ran the manure, truck for 18 months at a farm in Vermont.
We got good at making solids pumpsble.
At a farm in Maryland we had contract poop pumpers come. That was an exciting week!
Thanks for this Edutainment, its not a walk in the park at all, your dedication to filming this is very admirable, Keep them coming when u can please.
You rock and roll all day long. Hard workers. God bless and thank you for what you do.
Not as easy as it looks, the welding !! Great video !

Thank you for sharing. Hope the neighbours were ok with the freshness in the air.
Enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.
Great video. Love all the videos, crappy and all!
Always lookin forward to a new video! Thanks eric
Erik we have all had days like yours. The muck docent always run were its supposed to but well done for getting the blockage sorted out. Interesting video
Nice video you never disappoint!
And in one video --- you summed up the year 2020 for every American :)
Looks like your dads shoulder is getting back to normal. Good to see him doing so much better. Enjoyed the video. Best wishes to your family.
I wonder if it was a dairy farmer who invented the phrase " Same shit, different day"
... until manure farming day, when we get new shiet... Lol
That's alot of moo-pooh! 😉
Thanks for the vlogs!
Lived on a dairy for four years, through high school. There’s a lot of hard work a lot of knowledge and I see a passion. Thanks for sharing.
I love the music you play in the drone footage. I see your dad look like he doing well. Be he happy to get back to work.

Amazing video Eric, always love your content so well organized, I also live on a farm and enjoy seeing a fellow farmer get some stuff done 🤠
Awesome vid again mate! Can we see what Megan does for the day she is always working!
Your dad can move pretty quick when that manure starts splashing around! The hired spreaders don't mess around.😉
This is some good Manure!
Thanks, Dairyman!
Happy post Thanksgiving Eric/Dad great vids
I never knew there was such a thing as a self propelled manure pump. I d take that thing on a rip through town to show off
Yeah they are home made
Pretty impressive
How’s it goin Eric hope you had or are having a good day
Awesome to see how fast your channel is growing! Keep up the good work!
