I just had my barn micro grooved 2 weeks ago. The floor was grooved when poured 12 years ago, but has gotten polished up over the years. Has made a big difference, haven't heard hardly any slipping since.
By the way I recently found out you don’t get a cut from ad revenue unless we watch at least 30 seconds of the ads before hitting the skip, I now watch all the ads and I hope everyone else does too! You deserve every thing you get from TH-cam!
Thanks for all the details in what you are doing...very instructive. Like your sister’s involvement in the farm. You both are Good models for the younger generation! 👍
You are by far one of the best you tube creator in agriculture ! You express yourself very well, your images are always beautiful, you give a lot of information, the sound is well balanced and you look good! Ha yes, you also have the cleanest farm on earth! Bravo! Continu your good work ! i'm proud to be Canadian when i see it! You should teach our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau how to do it... especially in terms of the 'cleanliness' of his reputation and his financial transactions...because he, unlike you, is the shame of the country! ha!ha!
I love your videos and the 10th Generations too. (I found you guys from the Hoof GP.) I am surprised there is no mention of Sonne Farms. That guy has great content and his dad is funny too! I love to watch the young guys working with their dads. It is an industry full of tradition that is important to pass down! Thank you for all you do and for filming it too! I can't get enough!
I miss living on the farm, and your videos bring back memories of happy days. I am very impressed with how clean you keep the barn, and in fact all your buildings, the equipment and the yard. In fact, I am beyond impressed!
Have to say ... you do some really good video work . Very professional. Saw a video last year, don’t need to know or knew anything about dairy farming . But I enjoy it now 😏👊👊

40 years ago in our new barn the contractors pulled a drum with rebar welded on and it would leave a imprint in the cement that looked like bricks. Worked really got.
Its so cool seeing the similarity and difference between other TH-cam dairymen. Love your channel so glad I saw the shout out from 10thgenerationdairyman or I probably would have never stumbled on your channel
I do enjoy your videos of your milking cows in Canada it's different to what they do here in New Zealand keep up the great work and I'll do love the videos
Great job getting those floors grooved will pay off in not having cattle slipping and going down, that pull behind chopper really did a great job chopping that test sample cuts it really small!👍Jan did you ever say what was wrong with the auto cattle brush you were working on? Looking forward to the silage video!✅
Thanks again Jan. I'm really surprised the cows don't totally freak out with that constant noise. They must be so resilient. Can you tell any difference in their milk output after a sustained time of distraction like that?
From Oregon. Been watching your videos and find them very interesting. Some questions does your farm have a rat/rodent problem like seems to be in England? The organic dairies in this area store bulk feed outdoors but to be organic they have restrictions on use of rodenticides. England has people who manage with some pretty expensive air rifles. And, do you have a guy that comes out to work on your cows hooves? Never considered hoof health before the guy I’ve been watching is in Scotland. He is fun to watch and really enjoys his work. Thanks for the look into all you do to provide milk for your area. Very interesting!
Looks as if the GPS autosteer didn’t get recalibrated with the longer header on the swather. It missed about two feet of alfalfa per pass on the right side. 😊. Great videos, Jan.
June has been a wet month for sure for us in Saskatchewan and windy enough to blow your swaths around. Hopefully July will bring us some heated days and warmer evenings. As always Jan great video.
Another great video. Thanks. When you were standing in the barn with the dual-wheeled loader there was a white pick-up in the background with its hood up, what's happening with this truck? Who does it belong too? Do you plan on using it around the farm?
Hello SaskDutch Kid! In my farm we’ve already chopped the 2:nd chopping. Why does you chop so late? Ps best TH-cam chanel l’ve ever seen and I learning a lot thank you!
Hello Jan, as always great videos!! Been around a lot of wheel loaders never seen duals, but hey it works. Do y'all not use the large 4x4 to pack? Story about keys was funny!
Thats funny how a cow stole a key,... lol... playful and curious for sure. another interesting video, that grove machine is wild, who ever knew it seems to me after watching countless farming videos, like 10th Generation, Larson Farms, Cole the Corn Star, Millennial Farmer, and a few others that farming seems like it's 10% planting, 10 % harvesting and 80% maintenance. perhaps i'm wrong, just my observation from what I see, I never farmed a day in my life so who knows, farmers have to be mechanics, Dr, Engineer, too; maker, carpenter and fabricators. interesting work, never a dull moment and everyday is different.
Hi I was wondering if you saw the New Holland Tractor that is methane-powered. I also had an idea for you to collect that slurry and create your own power via biogas. I think it would dramatically increase productivity and will lower electrical bills and fuel bills.
Yes, but then they would have to buy chemical fertilizer for the fields, to replace the organic manure they use for fertilizer now. Plus the expense of building a biogas collection plant, and electric generators. Biogas generation of electricity seems currently to be economically sensible only where the inputs (manure) is free (or very cheap) -- when it's a waste product that you need to get rid of.
The water is actually mostly to keep silica dust from flying up since it is very dangerous to breathe in and can cause silicosis. The blades on a scarifier are so cool, they tend to be diamond tipped.
It also serves to cool the blade as the diamond chips are bonded to the metal. If the blade is allowed to get hot the bonding will weaken and the blade will start shedding diamond chips. It also helps lubricate the cutting edge to reduce wear of the diamonds.
We just had the same machine groove for us and the guy said we would need water only if we didn’t like how dusty it got. we never hooked the water to it because we had good ventilation so the dust wasn’t a problem
So the water does help keep the blades cool but it's more so for the concrete dust. You wouldn't be able to breath in there because of how thick the concrete dust
The residual concrete slurry resulting from the grooving will reek havoc in the manure handling system should it solidify. Over time it can cure to a solid that's nearly as hard as poured concrete. Dispose of it separately and at an approved location.
As the excess moisture comes out it "runs" or "seeps" resulting in a loss of nutrients and a potential for undesirable bacteria growth and some amount of spoilage.
At the proper moisture and compaction and quick plastic coverage helps in eliminating the oxygen so it can go through a proper fermentation process. Should take 21 days to complete.
The groover for the concrete is neat to see. I'm in construction, & am use to seeing that machine cut the concrete, or pavement so we can dig a hole beneath it.
Cows are thieves. We were replacing insulators one time and one of our cows walked up behind us. Grabbed the bag and ran. It was pretty funny trying to get them back from him.
Just love the fact that you include your sister in the farming and your videos. Hope she is in many more.
Love that you give information on the businesses that you record to show us & loved the story about the key-thieving cow 👍

Looking forward to the next video, know ing it will be great like this one. Thanks Jan!
Another great video Jan. You are definitely one of my favourite TH-camrs!!
Excellent drone footage as always, could watch that all day.
I love how cows are always so curious.
That’s so funny. I put up the above comment right before you told us about the cow taking the keys because they are so curious.
I love raising the cows. And then eating them. 😏

brilliant as always love the drone footage especially the train in the background ,stay safe !!
that was a nice shot with the hay cutter and the train in the back
I learn so much from you, Jan! Thanks, you are a natural teacher😊
Pete groved our barn as well. Very nice guy and he does a great job
It must be such a relief when you get all that silage in and tacked down for use ! Love your channel...so informative and interesting. All the best !

Whoa. I have to admit this is the first time I have ever seen a wheel loader with duals. 👍
I was in high school in the 70's so I can say this.......... groovy!
Dutchy, beautiful alfalfa!
What an amazing machine is that swather.
thanks for the video, greetings from Serbia....
Looks as if the GPS autosteer didn’t get recalibrated with the longer header on the swather. It missed about two feet of alfalfa per pass on the right side. 😊. Great videos, Jan.
Love the videos mate all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪
Your great at explaining everything.
Longer videos, please! Thanks!
Another great video, Jan. Have fun tomorrow bud

very informational, Jan !!!
Close to 100k already, hope you don't slow down on making more videos, keep them coming, you may pass Eric @ 10th Gen at this rate.
The grooving could be a week long process with all walkways to be cut. Looking forward to chopping of the alfalfa Thanks for sharing
Hello SaskDutch Kid! In my farm we’ve already chopped the 2:nd chopping. Why does you chop so late? Ps best TH-cam chanel l’ve ever seen and I learning a lot thank you!
that swath is hi teck , its got that whole TRANSFORMER thing going on ,cool !
*Thanks Jan!*
Should have done that when you were building the barn. But as we say live and learn.. and the ladies will like it a lot
He is adorable.
Great video man. Makes my lock down fun.
But what about butchering the beef cow.? Just curious..
👍
watching your videos and sonne farms you both rate in the top ten from dairy to beef great enjjoyable videos
I have run horse barns and the best floor is ashpalt. The horseshoes wear the broom finish right off and the floor become glass when wet with concrete
Temple Grandin would be impressed!
Yes she would!
😂😂😂😂😂she probably stole the keys to stop all the noise. 👍👍👍
AMIT GHOSH thats funny
Nice video I like how you explain everything also like the drone
you guys take good care of your farm good job guys.

Excellent vídeo congratulations 🇧🇷🚜
Excellent video . btw .... do small animals like birds and rats get pulled into the combines?
Was always a treat (sarcasm) to find a snake sticking out of the small square bales we baled when I was growing up.
Perfect stuff as always, ready to see the next one, you want help Jan on that trucking ?
So with the new groves do you have to change how you clean the cow bay?
Cool farm, my wife works zootechnik on a farm in Poland

At least that cow didn't swallow the keys. Lol

Closest city to Jan is Saskatoon.

Groovy, dude. 😂
Today a cow leaned into the skid steer and honked the horn and scared her
Good luck on the silage tomorrow
Yea men. Im very excited
Interesting how to find moisture level.🐄
always enjoy your videos
Grooving is important no doubt!
thanks for the video !!
So if the moisture In some of the alfalfa your chopping is high and it goes in the plastic tube does it mold or combust?🌻
As the excess moisture comes out it "runs" or "seeps" resulting in a loss of nutrients and a potential for undesirable bacteria growth and some amount of spoilage.
At the proper moisture and compaction and quick plastic coverage helps in eliminating the oxygen so it can go through a proper fermentation process. Should take 21 days to complete.

Thank you very much from Bangladesh
