Thank you for making a longer video this time. I know it can be a bit tedious for you to be so multifunctional . You do really good at juggling all your rolls. I truely admire your very good strong work ethic. Stay safe and work smart like I see you do each time you post. You don't ever come across as a know it all. Tom in Minneapolis.
Man Eric I don't think I have ever seen farmers look after their stuff as much as you and your dad do! You two are always fixing or improving something! Your videos are on point every single time! Keep up the great work!
I was so impressed and delighted when you mentioned keeping your back straight. Smart man. As a nurse who took care of her back religiously (although that’s not always possible in this field) I still ended up with significant back issues. Taking care of your ‘young’ back now will pay in the long run.
@@freedomfan4272 , ain’t that the truth! One thing I’ve noticed through my lifetime is that democrats represent city folks, who are pretty basically liberals , and republicans tend to represent the hard working everyday people, who are more connected to the earth, if you will, and so tend to be conservatives .
Great video! Always learning from your videos. Thanks for that. No suggestions, no complaints, no tips, no problems with what you're doing. Just appreciation. Thanks Eric!
I am now 72, but l remember being a teen and helping my uncle spread manure in the spring on his family farm here in Northern Michigan. We had a 1938 John Deere B, and pulled a spreader for him that had a rope to deploy. The thing l learned the hard way was you never turned around to check the status of the load, as on a regular basis a piece would get flung forward, not back. Too funny!😖🫣😂
I love the longer videos! I know it’s harder and more tedious to make longer videos but it’s so worth it. I’m still happy with the regular length videos you make but something about a longer video from you is just special. Thanks for the great work you do on these videos Eric!
Great to see you got some harvest weather! Here in Southern MO we haven't been able to put up any feed yet. I have to hustle to get the yard mowed between rains.
Some years,when it works, we have a silage bunk empty. We put first cut or rye or triticale in it then by the time silage is ready it’s empty again. It saves bags, time, money and plastic. Just throwing it out there. You’ve inspired me, just returning the favour. I have a love hate relationship with bags and I love drive over piles more now so we are transitioning over to them in our bunks for smaller crops. Thanks for your videos and content.
I can't get over how fast you can run that disk bine and it's cutting beautifully. I would guess we could only mow half that fast with an old siècle mower and still your stubble looks really clean & even. Is it the machine or the farmer? Probably a little of both. 😉 I hope your family is doing well - I bet Jack is getting big. Soon he'll be mowing the rye...Thanks for sharing.
@@MrMagnum7220 Agreed and to add to that I won't buy a New Holland disc mower again it took way too much horsepower to run and the quick attach knives are a must
Thanks for filming and sharing. Takes me back to my old agriculture days (not just this vid.. all of them.. i just dont comment on them all). We had mixed farm. dairy, arable and.. meat. very few contractors. Pig boars were probably the kindest.. if accustomed. However.. RAMS.. regardless of familiarity.. were the nastiest biting, kicking, shitting and butting aggressive animals to deal with. Hi from Oxford UK.
I enjoy your videos because you do so many different things. I never knew farming was so complex requiring so many different skills. Great job! Regarding cleaning the scrapper. It seems to me routinely cleaning the muck, dust, straw from all your equipment would extend its lifetime. But I realize there are a limited number of hours per day.
Eric, just found the channel, great video's, your family is killing it and we are all VERY impressed with not only your knowledge but work ethic. A pleasant reminder on how important the American Family Farmer is and the care you have for your land and cows. RESPECT! I'm sure your folks are very proud of not only you but how your represent her Farm and helping us all better understands the detailed HARD WORK that you all do - Thanks! (Tell your sister to get some "big boy" sizes back in stock and I'll be sure to buys some Shirts/Sweatshirts to support ya'll.)
Great educational video Eric. I’ve learned through your videos that manure management is a big thing. Do you have enough land to support it? Crops have their own timeline. Good to see you on top of it. Enjoy how you & your dad are adapt at jerry-rigging. Take care. Stay safe.
Man, that mower is a hungry hippo for sure. Back in the day when I mowed hay in comparison, it would look as if I were in slow-motion. You're one busy, hard-working man. So many think farming is easy, if there was an ounce of truth in that everyone would be doing it. The hardest thing for most people is getting out of bed early, not to mention working way past sundown. Can't just turn it off after 8 hrs can ya?
I live in north west Washington state next to the Canadian border and I live next to a farm and their fields is in front of my house so every spring they would cut grass and they had this exact discbine and I loved it the set up they had was awesome the tractor they used was a john deere 4455 AWD with duals and the discbine behind it I saw them cut the huge grass field from morning to half day I would spend all day watching them farm the smell of the fresh cut grass in the spring was the best thing ever. I think they sold the discbine cause I don't see it anymore but those were the days young kid loving farming. now I'm 16 don't watch them as much when I do i watch them from my window. and to pick up the cut grass they used a john deere 6710 chopper with a dump wagon they had trucks they used to dump the grass in but growing up seeing them was fun.
Another great video! Love your content. I really appreciate the effort you put into the farm and showing people what all is involved. All the best to you and your family.
This is so great! I found your channel yesterday and have not stopped watching. Then I realized I was only 10 minutes from you last week in Blue Ball. You make us PA proud!
Yeah lots of action on this video! Even drone footage. Really good video Eric! Thank you I know you can't do it all the time with all the work on the farm. Thank you can't wait for the next one!!
@@freedomfan4272 They had installed downspouts that had diverters on their new heifer barn that is what he mentioned in the video. They also have a problem with dry spots in the manure pit in their main barn by the milking parlor that is where I thought they should put downspouts to try to put more moisture in the pit.
So much going on. Fascinating. You sure know your business. Is there such a thing as a farm geek? You do not come across as proud, just knowledgeable....and a carefully made video. You are so good at whatever you do. ONE SUGGESTION, using flags like they do on SONNE FARMS seems to really work when herding cattle. And yes, keep your back straight and your head high young man.
You are a very inspirational young man! Incredible work ethic. A lot of young guys could learn a lot from you. Take good care of your back. I’m in my 50’s and already had 2 back surgeries, and a neck surgery, and have to have one more back surgery. Always wanted to start a farm, but that dream won’t come true. Really enjoy your videos.
I can't believe how advanced you are in the season compared to the mid west. Our grass is just starting to green up. The leaf buds are starting to swell, the plum trees haven't even bloomed. Many northern Minnesota lakes still have 20" of ice on them.
Hey Eric, I really love those aerial views, it's great to see y'all getting your rye cut. The New Holland cutter is doing an awesome job on that rye. Do you know what the folks that was doing your manure spreading think about the Challenger tractor they use, and what do you think? Great content, I appreciate you sharing all this with us, I hope you and your family have an awesome week. 🚜
excellent manure use as fertilizer to supply Nitrogen to crop # awesome Rye grass harvesting then spreading to dry it then chopping & packaging for fermentation to produce silage #👍👍❤️
Thank you Eric for your great video again. Young man your wise beyound your years. Your parents did a great job raising you and your sisters. God bless Americas family farmers and thank you for all you do young man.
Was thinking mabe you could pressure wash some equipment that may need cleaned a day or so before the manure speading people come. Don't know if that would help or not, just a thought. Thanks.
I worked 7 years at a farm, and I did just about everything that you do on the farm, had a parlor system also, but I never had a problem with anyone on this farm I worked on.
You have a beautiful farm, well maintained and really nice facilities. Your videos are a credit to the dairy industry. Keep up the good work I really enjoy your videos.
Sorting cows is easier on some farms than others Depends how often they are sorted. The land of lakes dairy we sorted almost every day. Those cow asked if you wanted them or not. In Colorado those cows were very hard to sort
Just a thought. Might not work, but what if you spray some rain-x on the robot scraper? To help keep the manure off? Just a suggestion! Love your videos!
Lesson I've learned over the years is always check the implement/trailer is hooked on properly regardless of who did it as you never know if it was done right just something I always do
I can’t believe your cutting already. You have a longer growing season than we do. Out alfalfa hay is maybe two inches high. If it doesn’t get more warm it will be June before we start cutting. We still get four cuttings. The last one takes for ever to dry if it does dry. We bale all our hay n
if the lely skrabers have a gyroscope you need to calibrate it every time you pick em up like that. go to settings then gyroscope and auto calibrate is fine it takes a cupel of minuts but it will run better
Love your videos. It is enjoyable to see the various things you do in a day (even if we have seen them before). Any plans for a 10th Gen coffee cup in the shop? One with a dairy cow on it maybe? Thanks!
The lot looks nice with fine black asphalt lime stone gravel You going to do the whole lot and around the barn’s it would look good. .Wow they grown and big nice heifers get a good price for them.
So if I were you I would separate the liquid manure then you would have thin liquid manure for the field and what comes out for the cows that on it leagues may That's how we do it in Switzerland 🇨🇭 so you make savings straw.

I agree Barbara. Speaking personally......it's too late once you give yourself a problem!
It never ceases to amaze me how much detailed knowledge you guys must know to be successful farmers/ranchers/dairymen. I’m always so impressed!

Grew up on my family’s dairy farm. These videos are excellent. A really good job at capturing all of the work on a daily basis.

Problem I have with longer videos is more commercials

I really like the longer video. Looks like your busy season is starting. Cool puppy. Time to replace that wiper blade on your truck. 😁
You noticed that too.👍😂
WOW. That was quite a variety. Eric, your video production is excellent-never a dull moment. (I would NEVER fast forward) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

He got on top of the blade maintenance last year.
Once you use a discbine, you’ll never go back to a sickle.

robot scraper seems to be working your cows look cleaner, awesome
Feature length episode! Always am looking forward to, and enjoy your videos! Cheers!
Why is your channel so addictive.? I love the harvest and planting videos also the simple a day of milking
Very good video Eric. Lots of variety that made it very interesting.
Great video Eric! Always enjoy them.
Hey Eric you saved me!! I'm at my girlfriends moms house with all her people and this 30 minute video is definitely helping right now.

So good to see you out there working this is my dream job to do one day keep up the work man love the video
Another great video may i suggest that when you are manure spreading you should get the pile that the scrapers leave by the chargers
Another great video! Love your content. I really appreciate the effort you put into the farm and showing people what all is involved. All the best to you and your family.
You had some great shots in this video. Loved the one on the mower.

Putting a rain downspout in to the pit would put more moisture in the pit making it easier to mix on that dry side of the pit
A spout they could regulate, great idea💡.
@calico097 Eric mentioned in the video using one of the downspouts off the nearby barn to put more water into the pit
@@freedomfan4272 They had installed downspouts that had diverters on their new heifer barn that is what he mentioned in the video. They also have a problem with dry spots in the manure pit in their main barn by the milking parlor that is where I thought they should put downspouts to try to put more moisture in the pit.
Everything is looking so nice! Good idea for the Ag-Bag area and Who's a Good Puppy Dog? Such a good puppy dog!
Thank You for letting us visit with your family videos
I watch you do this every year (it's been what... 2-3 years now?) and I still enjoy it ;)

I love mowing hay / rye. It looks so good when your done.
Great video! ...exceptional camera placement on the mower looking toward the tractor as you mowed. Thanks for the great content!
Just what I needed today, a farm video!
Awesome video Eric. Nice to see your dad also. Looks like you need a new wiper blade on your truck. Thank you
Great video I appreciate your time. Your farm’s are beautiful looks like a great area “God’s Country”

Crops always grow great here in Pennsylvania , the large amount of rain helps a ton to get good yield.
Watching your videos almost after an year.. been busy with new job and travel.
Loved the new cow shed.. and happy to see you and your dad
Running the wagon tractor during chopping can be fun when everything goes well.
The fields in PA were bumpy for the high speed tractors.

Sorting cows is easier on some farms than others
Depends how often they are sorted.
The land of lakes dairy we sorted almost every day. Those cow asked if you wanted them or not.
In Colorado those cows were very hard to sort
The NFL draft is all hype, glitz and should be spread on the triticale fields along with the other manure
Busy busy on the farm! Love to see it 👍👍

The lot looks nice with fine black asphalt lime stone gravel You going to do the whole lot and around the barn’s it would look good. .Wow they grown and big nice heifers get a good price for them.
