Great vlog really interesting. I loved watching how the harvest unfolds. A day in the life ,how you take care of meals chores and housework stuff. Are your children home schooled. We thank you for sharing your experience today an pushing record very cool.
yes the kids are home schooled, seem they can do that in the usa, Ont Canada nop, pay lots in school taxs, my school taxs are 50 times my land and road tax and i dont have kids
the things you have to do to get your crops in. another good example of what you go through to get your work done. liked the tractor packing the silage pile. reminded me of the heavy haulers in the oil sands, they compress the bitumen when they are diving over it, the same way the tractor compresses the silage.
Good video again I am not getting bored of your videos I enjoy them what y’all do keep up the good work y’all are hard workers keep it up and putting good videos out good videos be safe on the farm pretty eyes
I love seeing this videos of field work. I remember that when I was 15/16 I bought my 1sr car for $100 and we (close friends) ran and beat on that car in my grandparents corn field for months and we got it sick in the mud and the farmer was spreading manure and pulled us out. Boy those days were a blast
Your lives and work is NOT boring. It is a taste of your reality, yet very different from most if ours. Kenzie and the spider was the highlight! Yes, some get quite large! Mud seems to be the nemisis of farmers across the globe. Weather cycles are always present. Keep the vids coming.
👍🚜looks like good mud bogging MUD, good your chopper is four wheel drive, tell Mackenzie that I too are afraid of spiders,had one in my sleeping bag got bite up
I can,t imagine how much mud must be getting caked up on all of the equipment .There's going to be some heavy duty pressure washer duty or pull up next to a fire hydrant with a hose and pressure knozzle.
I watched some corn harvesting video out of Kentucky, Holy smokes, very cool to watch ! 16 rows at a time, very high tech equipment , but I like small farm still ✌👍👍😉 makes me want to be out there with you guys !! I know sounds crazy. By, by, neighbor
I worked for a custom harvester about 12 years ago, we had a twin engine Claus,at full speed it would process about 150 lbs.per second, if he hit a rise suddenly the windshield would be piled over with 1" square chips of corn and the driver had to get out on the hood to kick off the corn,we used trucks and were dragged through deep mud many times!!!good memories!!...this was in Indiana not far from you!
1st time in a month I've been able to sit back and enjoy your guys content instead of being stuck in the fendt 1050 team work makes the dream work thanks for the content guys
Oh i love it. You seem so sad when you said she's leaving again. Yalls facial expressions are just the same lol. Love yalls videos ☺☺☺. She said noooo, i don't want it on my windshield.. You spoke to soon lol.
I like watchin the videos weather workin in the fields or not its all nice to see.. Im from the u.p. of michigan and nice to see videos from other michiganians
Y'all are getting it done as a family it is great to see a family that can work together like that Mackenzie what kind of spider was it a granddaddy long legs LOL
@@REDMAN298 Definitely not but you might be forgiven for thinking so at the moment. It's a lot wetter than usual in most areas. Not saying we are like California or Florida but it wasn't a bad summer this year and where I am it only rarely gets very cold and no where near as much snow as we used to get. That'll probably bring it on this year!
McKenzies close caption is funny you are a watch because caption when she’s talking it sometimes hilarious, she’s as well back to my school and the close caption says well back to Mexico LOL
There should be a new T-shirt called bored out of your gourd! I would imagine sitting in that seat for about 10 hours was no fun. You guys really need to consider investing some air ride seats for your trucks. This way if there is somebody that has to wait at the top of the field to get loaded they can recline back while they wait.
Great video, Ronda! Ok Kenzie. All you have to do is be yourself. Talk about things you like or dislike and things you've done or plan to do. It's that simple. Things that interest you. Btw, you've gotten awesome at handling that truck. Hopefully the boys got you some heat. Great watching Ethan on the pile. Kevin needs some camera time. Tell him to pass on some dairy farm wisdom.lol All kidding aside, he could def give advice or tips on things experienced around the farm. Thx for sharing. Love you guys!
Allways a mission isn't it especially when its crunch time and close to being done ..I bet ya wish the combine would go a bit faster ....but anyways love ya all and godbless
Hello Ronda. Hope y'all are doing well. Acers of Clay Homestead has become one of my favorite channels to watch. I appreciate all of the hard work that you put in to these videos so that we can get an idea of what goes on from day to day on the farm. Does Mackenzie know what she was to do when she is done with school? If it were possible for you and the family to take a vacation, where would y'all like to go and why?
You should get a drone i have one & u can take awesome videos while harvesting. Your corn looks a lot greener than any over here by green bay wi. Good luck with your harvest and god bless
Oh you poor child! Stuck in a haul truck with a sore hiney with only crackers to eat and battling big harry spiders. If I could I would come rescue you but alas I am so far away.......... Hope things get better for you and soon. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family!
MacKenzie, ... find podcasts to listen to consume some of your dead time. There are many podcasts available, free to download. You can listen as your time permits. Use the time to learn something new, enhance what you already know, and explore new ideas through teaching of others.
Ronda, I was wondering why you all dont use a large grain cart with an unloader on your farm?Seems like it would be more economical to use one, also love Mckenzie's blogs too and love all your blogs too!!
@@acresofclayhomestead I am surprised a disk will be enough. Maybe it looks worse than it is. Mud is never easy to work in. Sounds like Makenzie needs to get out of the truck occasionally to stretch and get the blood flowing again. When I was driving a snow plow I could only drive for an hour before I got too stiff setting and had to get out and move while I could get out still. Farming is not easy and you don't ever seem to catch up.
Mrs Rhonda don’t y’all usually chop corn so dried down do you? Nobody chops here, all harvested for grain and deer corn. It’s best still green isn’t it?
not sure what your talking about, she was in your last video driving the truck as well joy riding in the buddy set in the tractor with you, or was i just deaming that.. you like me live off the land, put some of them theving deer in the freezer, i do
as long as it is dry in the spring they clean up easy and fast, but she is using the same road out to the road every time, were they drive to chop it not that bad after it drys, the frost pushs a lot of it back up
McKenzie, what you are enduring in the course of your long day driving, is known as hardship. It may quite literally be a pain in the butt right now. However, it is subconsciously training your young mind to cope with hardship and in time to come, you will have the ability to better deal with life’s challenges. Most young people today are shielded by their over protective parents from the downs of day to day life and when their parents won’t be around to help, they will be rushing to their medics for drug therapy. So hug your Mom and Dad and thank them for the way that they are rearing you all. Fifty years ago, it was how I was reared on our farm and coping with the hardship of then, has stood to me in dealing with the challenges of life today.
You guys are the heart of America, not those crazy politicians we watch spending our money doing nothing.
Mackenzie cracks me up. I love her personality.
the Dynamic duo of homesteads.
you 2 crack me up.
Corn is cool. I'll watch harvesting all day, of anything!You do you sister! Thank youfor sharing!Any farm machinery shots are just cool!
Great job all way around guys .

Looks like the corn cutter is doing so much better with the new parts🤔🤔
Yes, working great!

Lord my heart goes out to y’all. Seems like y’all can’t catch a break w weather this year.
Love seeing the machine at work
Driving in mud you just have to keep going and don't stop lol that must be one powerful tractor glides through that mud.
I love seeing this videos of field work. I remember that when I was 15/16 I bought my 1sr car for $100 and we (close friends) ran and beat on that car in my grandparents corn field for months and we got it sick in the mud and the farmer was spreading manure and pulled us out. Boy those days were a blast
I learn to drive a manual car driving in a corn field. Great fun, great memories! 😁
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Only two more fields. Hope the mud up clears up soon!
Been driving truck! Priceless!

Happy Thanksgiving. From Andy in UK
Like driving a swamp buggy! I'm amazed you don't get stuck.
great video and no need to be sorry for field work videos take care and god bless
Atleast there's good bottom to that mud . Here in Panton Vermont it's 90 % clay sticky sticky clay and it swallows rigs lol
I can,t imagine how much mud must be getting caked up on all of the equipment .There's going to be some heavy duty pressure washer duty or pull up next to a fire hydrant with a hose and pressure knozzle.
Mackenzie, cracks me up LOL, Nothing wrong with skittles :)
I watched some corn harvesting video out of Kentucky, Holy smokes, very cool to watch ! 16 rows at a time, very high tech equipment , but I like small farm still ✌👍👍😉 makes me want to be out there with you guys !! I know sounds crazy. By, by, neighbor
It's always fun watching the newer equipment run.
I like your ramblings.
I worked for a custom harvester about 12 years ago, we had a twin engine Claus,at full speed it would process about 150 lbs.per second, if he hit a rise suddenly the windshield would be piled over with 1" square chips of corn and the driver had to get out on the hood to kick off the corn,we used trucks and were dragged through deep mud many times!!!good memories!!...this was in Indiana not far from you!
thanks for the vidéo, corn silage it s very difficult this year, Rain and mud, we have finish Last week in France in the mud like you
Poor Mackenzie, has to sit around, eating cookies and skittles, all day... LOL
Nice be'back again.. 👍👍👍👌
1st time in a month I've been able to sit back and enjoy your guys content instead of being stuck in the fendt 1050 team work makes the dream work thanks for the content guys
You are finished with field work?
@@acresofclayhomestead I wish just a day off with family 😂😂
Yikes.....Mud!! Luv all ur videos!! Ms. Mackenzie, I don't like spiders either!!

Hi great video as normal from Andy in UK
Thanks!
A muddy field you have there hope the holds off till you finish the other fields we have cold rain and winds in the UK enjoy your weekend
rosepayne: is it always cloudy and rainy in the UK like they portray it to be?
@@REDMAN298 Definitely not but you might be forgiven for thinking so at the moment. It's a lot wetter than usual in most areas.

very interesting I never know how much work It could be to run a dairy farm

Great job
How common is it to store silage on the ground instead of in a silo? Thanks, love your videos!
Most Farmers around us pilot on the ground very few used silos anymore.
Would it help to bring sand from the sand spit to the low spots in the fields to reduce the amount of mud? Or shape the ground to drain betfer?

A vacation??? Maybe to a beautiful off grid cabin somewhere that has a great fishing spot. :)
You should get a drone i have one & u can take awesome videos while harvesting. Your corn looks a lot greener than any over here by green bay wi. Good luck with your harvest and god bless
One day I'd like to get a drone.
I'll sell you my mavic pro for 800 so i can get the pro 2 lol
Excellent
have a nice holiday
Thanks! You too!!!
You've had a struggle but your winning the battle against the odds well done 👍💪💪
McKenzie has her own vlogging skills and I laugh alot
Way to go girls!!!
Did the guys get the heater fixed in the tandem?
Yes, blower bearing went out. Sydney replaced it and we have heat! :)
and I thought it was wet here in scotland
Do ya'll ever sale any of the corn ya'll cut or is it 2 wet and ya'll use it as feed? ❤👍
We feed all the crops we grow.
The beans that was in the other field is that yalls to ?
No, they are our neighbors beans.
It's one more muddy mess seen the wheels spinning as you were coming to unload the tractor and dump wagon few times.
Glad ye are getting through it, did ye get heat working in your truck again:):)
Yes, the heat is working! :)
@@acresofclayhomestead Great stuff, thank you Ronda:)
I hate hate hate spiders to MacKenzie 😮
Oh you poor child! Stuck in a haul truck with a sore hiney with only crackers to eat and battling big harry spiders. If I could I would come rescue you but alas I am so far away.......... Hope things get better for you and soon. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family!
Happy Thanksgiving to you also!!
Do you all make your own butter? I would guess you all go through a bunch of soap, do you make your own?
We go thru more butter than soap. :) I usually buy both, but I do make both butter and soap from time to time.
Mackenzie was the spider really and truly hairy? What kind of spiders do you have in Michigan?
It was probably a fuzzy black jumping spider.
We have big spiders in W. PA too. The other day, I had one try to carry my recliner away...with me in it. 😉🕷️

Around 180 head.
Challenger needs duels in front👍
Nice video, sub and thumb up. Greetings from the northeast of germany
Welcome to our channel!
Ronda, I was wondering why you all dont use a large grain cart with an unloader on your farm?Seems like it would be more economical to use one, also love Mckenzie's blogs too and love all your blogs too!!
We aren't shelling corn.
mackenzie can you drive the challenger before u finish corn
Ronda, what is that big funnel device mounted beside the cab on the chopper?
It's an inoculate applicator
@@acresofclayhomestead -- TY, Ronda. I had a hunch that was what it is.
What’s going to be the easiest way for y’all to smooth those fields back out?
Run a disc over it.
@@acresofclayhomestead I am surprised a disk will be enough. Maybe it looks worse than it is. Mud is never easy to work in. Sounds like Makenzie needs to get out of the truck occasionally to stretch and get the blood flowing again.

Farming is not easy and you don't ever seem to catch up.
Cool earrings you girls wear😎😎😎
You guy's are not far from the walnutdale family farm are you
when do you guys do the milking?
7am and 7pm
are the ears off the corn already when you chop corn? So when you shell corn do you leave the stalks standing so they can be chopped later?
The ears are chopped as well.
yes the ears of corn are ready when it is chopped, stock and all get chopped into one,
❤❤❤❤❤
🙏❤️🙏
Mrs Rhonda don’t y’all usually chop corn so dried down do you? Nobody chops here, all harvested for grain and deer corn. It’s best still green isn’t it?
The corn looks dry but it's at the perfect moisture for making silage.
Acres of Clay Homestead gotcha. Cold probably burned it I’m guessing. Glad it’s going good.
41 is too cold for me
not sure what your talking about, she was in your last video driving the truck as well joy riding in the buddy set in the tractor with you, or was i just deaming that.. you like me live off the land, put some of them theving deer in the freezer, i do
Ethan is trying to get a deer, but he wants to get a buck not a doe. :)
@@acresofclayhomestead gees meat is meat.. tell him the name of the game is to put food on the table not horns on a wall. ::).
That’s going to be a very fun job repairing the field with all those ruts being made🤦♂️😂
long as it is dry in spring they clean up easy and fast
as long as it is dry in the spring they clean up easy and fast, but she is using the same road out to the road every time, were they drive to chop it not that bad after it drys, the frost pushs a lot of it back up

Mackenzie needs to have the camera more, she keeps the videos interesting. XD
What do you do with corn?
The corn silage is fed to our cattle.
Do you still have to cut your soybeans? All the big fields of soybeans around here was done a couple weeks ago.
Those aren't our soybeans, but yes lots of beans around us still need to be harvested yet.
At what age can you drive a lorry
16 years old.
