I remember when you were in awe of 10th generation dairy farmer and now you are at almost 100k subscribers. Just shows what hard work, persistence and good content can achieve. Well done
For a young man you explain things pretty well. I’m not a farmer but enjoy watching farm videos. My buddy owned a small farm and helping him put up hay was always a great time. The beer went down real easy after unloading all the hay wagons into the barns loft. Had to be 120 degrees up there. Had a party afterwards for all those that helped. I know it was fun for us but a job for you guys.
Jan you do such a good job of explaining the smaller details of your everyday farming life. Must be a great feeling having that first cut put away. You are fastly approaching 100K subscribers, how does it feel to know that many people are enjoying your content.
I fondly remember working on the Douglas Lake Ranch driving truck hauling silage. We ran two choppers and two trucks, one with a 53’ walking floor trailer and the other with a 24’ end dump trailer. We’d run 24 hours a day, 2 shifts for over a month.
Super great video, fantastic camera shots, lovely Doran footage and a GREAT lunch...thank you Mom. This was also educational. All the details are really appreciated. Really enjoyed learning he sharpening process...way back when, cutting with a sickle mower we had to sharpen each blade by hand. What great Machinery improvements. Great job Myrium and congratulations on the promotion. I have never seen silage on the ground and then tarred, it was always ag-bagged. Such an enjoyable video, thank you so much
Jan sporting the shorts! Better wear them every day since winter for you will be here soon! Thanks for the video. I Really enjoy seeing everything on the farm including mom cooking lunch.
It is always a better day when I get on my computer and find a video notice from you. It was great seeing your sister working with you and your Mom takes good care of you lunchtime. Loved the video and thanks for sharing.
Your site is just plain great thanks for all your effort in producing it, where do you find the time !!!. Must confess I was raised in a Southwestern Manitoba city which owes its very existence to agriculture as do several business's I was part of. Until discovering your site I was totally uneducated to the commitment, complexity, capital investment and breadth of knowledge/experience required to operate a dairy farm. Wow do we ever take those four letters (milk) for granted. A huge thanks to your family and all other Canadian farm families for producing the worlds best quality foods. Look forward to watching I learn something new every time.
I really enjoy your channel, very educational for the non-farmer. It makes me appreciate even more what goes into producing dairy product. All the best up in Canada🇨🇦
Howdy Jan, you are ripping it man!!! 5k views in 45 mins.!!!!!!!! Your mom seems nice. And way to go sister!!! Trucking it up!!!!!¡! Big 10-4er!!! Jan the time you spend placing cameras and editing is amazing!!!!
I find it amazing how each piece of equipment actually works.... Love watching your videos.. wish they were longer cause I could watch em all day long... some days I actually do.... Thank You.
Your sister's seem to be pretty tough cookies that hold their own workin w/ you 'Big Dawgs' 😂🤣😉. And your MOM ... OMG, that lunch looked hella good ... And she delivers!!! No wonder why you came back to the farm and don't live far from her kitchen. I would too 😄. Dennis seems to be a fun kinda guy to have around. Although having "nothing better to do then throw tires around", tells me you two need to get out more often. But, in all seriousness ... Your whole family, your farm help, and others that come service equipment /etc. and have input info. to help us followers understand dairy farming have a huge amount of respect from a majority, if not all of us who look forward to your videos. Thanks Jan (and Family). 👍👏🐄🥛
Almost Jan, almost... 😎 100.000 is coming close now!!! And you deserve it! I forgot exactly when I subbed to your channel but I was watching before I subbed already, I always first start to watch a channel and when I keep coming back because it is so interesting then I submit. But you and a couple of your colleague YTbers proudly proof that younger generations still have working hard high in your life and I and a lot of people I think appreciate this very highly!! 👊👌 So, before you hit this incredible landmark I want to say, Thank You! And not only you but also your sisters! You all have clearly very loving and supportive parents and that is Litteraly the base you lean, learn and is your rock in life! Just wanted to put this out there 😊 I never smelled fresh cut alfalfa, wished I'd could but living in a small village and having lots of farmers around and as a kid having a load of class friends and girlfriends who did come from farms (I have been to a agriculture school) I do know all about hay and straw, playing in the old fashion Dutch haystack's or sort of silos and every August getting bailed straw and mèn! Did that mess up the arms and stinging and scratches everywhere 😁 Looking back I should have stayed in that school but I changed profession completely and went in a total different way but it was fun and had a great time and year's later I came to live next door at a little cow farmer 😁 and that clearly was a sign that I had to proceed what I wanted to do first when I choose farming as my career... 😁 But... Almost Jan.... !! 😁😎
Always enjoy your videos. You always have so much variety with all of the things that you do. You're a cool guy. Your parents must be very proud. Nice to see your mom too.
Hi always a pleasure to see fairly old but super maintained material. soon the 100k subscribers! it reflects the quality of your videos. greetings from switzerland. François.
Love your videos as you explain clearly on what's going on. I've been noticing that your channel has been gaining alot of subscribers. Nothing beats a good meal out in the fields, when I was a hiredman my boss mom fed us good especially on Sundays, roast and potatoes and corn and vegetables with homemade buns and pie but a hour after I ate I always wanted to take a nap lol. Do you put anything on your alfalfa fields after you take a cutting off, like liquid or dry manure so you don't have to pile it up ?
Thanks for showing all the farming things. It's interesting to see how everything works. I see your so close to 100k. I've shared your videos and hope you hit that milestone soon.
Your videos are amazing footage is spot on. Thank and love your mama everyday. Thanks so much for all of what you all do to give use quality healthy goodness your all amazing. 🐄🐄🐄...
There are older videos where he has installed and repaired these brushes. It is just a brush that is activated when a cow leans into it. The brush acts like a Back Scratcher / Massager.
The inoculate, that's new to me. I never knew that was used, until I watched this. I grew up in a small farming community, & spent many hours working for various farmers to help with harvest time(s).
It's interesting to see all the hard work that happens at a dairy farm. I won't be taking my milk for granted anymore, that's for sure. Keep up the great videos.
the great video just one question should explain in coming up what is silage and why you have to cover it and how long before you can use it some viewer may not know these questions to they may wonder if the silage does go bad we put it right into the pits have longer usage time for use to use it up then a bale
Looks like your Mom is going for knocking out the famed "Pioneer Woman"! :D 4:46 Looks like a great spread. Eric, The Tenth Generation, is always taking a break for breakfast, lunch, or something. . .but he never shows us what!!
Hi Yan. Another great vlog of what you do on the farm, i love the way you work and explain what you are doing and why, as i am not a farmer, i had no idea there was so much involved, never gave a thought that not only do you have the cows to look after, you also have to grow and prepare all their fodder, and look after all the machinery, you are a very caperble young man, amazing. Have you always lived in Canada, or did your family emigrate there.?
Is there not a renewable coverage for the silage that you can use over and over instead of using single use plastic? The cost of the plastic will add up to a large amount of cost per year. It would be better if there is a reusable coverage for it.
You could but its a pain. Comes in a roll then you would have to try and roll it back up. If the wind catches it, mess. Easy to cut bits off when feeding out bits. Also critters chew holes in it sometimes so you would have to find them all and tape them
Great team work getting the silage harvested and covered in the wind! Thats really cool the chopper has a built in sharping stone on board!! How many ton do you think you harvested that day? Thanks for the video with great camera view points! ✅
@@saskdutchkid hiiii how many days after this will be ur alfaalfa ready for 2nd cut......?? And how much is the yeild for approx 100 acres u hav cut?? And how many days it would last considering u have approx 500 cows in total...?
You’re my favorite TH-camr now. My old favorite TH-camr was a small Channel at 50k but one of his friends messed up his career and now he only post like 3 times a year So make sure u keep on uploading.
I grew up in osler, my best friends family had dairy farm, the sawatzky is their family name! Miss the dairy farm! Moved away to bc now on My own hobby farm! Love the vids man!!
Question for you how come come you guys use a pull type silage chopper instead of a self-propelled machine ? Do you guys run close to 300 milking cows ?
My grandfather had a small dairy farm in Minnesota that I got to spend many summers at when I was a kid. I loved the farming way of life and when I came across your channel, in took me back to those summers where I helped in the milking parlor and helped put up hay. I have watched all of your videos and have learned so much about the modernization of farming. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us and thank you to all the Canadian and American farmers out there who work their tails off 365 days a year to put food on our tables. You all rock!
Do guys around your area grow corn and feed corn silage?. That’s what majority of guys around here do. Watching from Lancaster PA. Like your channel keep up the good work
Good vid Yan, you need that good dinner your Mom makes for all the work you do... Also, must finally be warmer weather in Saskatchewan, you are wearing summer shorts 😎

You’re looking good in your summer uniform, stay safe and hug your mom! Thanks again for taking us along Jan!!

Always enjoy your videos. You always have so much variety with all of the things that you do. You're a cool guy. Your parents must be very proud. Nice to see your mom too.
You're very hardworking and you seem to enjoy every single day! Take care, young man. Watching here in Philippines.

At 2:46 is that the grain elevator over your right shoulder for the village of Asquith, SK?
I love these kinds of videos! I am learning so much from you! Good luck in the rest of the hay season!
Thanks for showing all the farming things. It's interesting to see how everything works. I see your so close to 100k. I've shared your videos and hope you hit that milestone soon.

Nice job as always, and congrats on the 100k subs.
That lunch looked wonderful. Your mother went all-out.
Very interesting to see the whole process. You guys really work hard and work well as a team! 👍🏻🇨🇦
You are amazing. I have one question..at 0:26 what is the machine doing to cow number 1075. Do you have any video explaining that. Love from India.
There are older videos where he has installed and repaired these brushes. It is just a brush that is activated when a cow leans into it. The brush acts like a Back Scratcher / Massager.
Those JF harvesters are pretty impressive. Amazing how a cut and throw chopper can have that kind of capacity!
No ones know what first cut hay smells like, unless you’ve smelt it before! 🇨🇦🌿☘️
I havent smelled alfalfa hay but i did smell just normal grass hay
This was my first year to experience the sweet smell. I bought a small farm this year and I’m in love.
Grew up with a hay field in my backyard near a pond. I remember that smell from my childhood.
And there's NOTHING LIKE IT!😁🤷♀️💕💕💞😘
@@lindamitchell-fox1926 👏👏👏💕😘💞

Big up saskDutch kid love watching hard work and dedication
So cool your lill sis can drive that truck! 💪😎

that inoculate looks like the blue water-like stuff they put in port-a-pottys
I sed a Prairie Giant in the back ground. Hope to see more haying videos. It would be fun to see what the silage looks like in 21 days.
love your videos man
Thanks!!
Great vid Jan. Do you lose much sileage with it sitting on the ground?
Love the content btw 🔥
THANK YOU!
@@saskdutchkid hiiii how many days after this will be ur alfaalfa ready for 2nd cut......?? And how much is the yeild for approx 100 acres u hav cut?? And how many days it would last considering u have approx 500 cows in total...?
Great video! We are almost done first cut here in south central Manitoba.
Love how you film; ie; 7:07 feel like I'm there, bravo!
You’re my favorite TH-camr now. My old favorite TH-camr was a small Channel at 50k but one of his friends messed up his career and now he only post like 3 times a year So make sure u keep on uploading.
its quality not quantity. you will learn that when you grow up
Ant F but it’s only 3-9 min videos and it not even good editing and his TH-cam vids was snowboarding but know it’s like vlogs
P1ay$tation Addiction what channel
Love the video! How long will that pile you just put up feed the cows?
How long will you let the bunk sit before you start to feed out of it. Almost to 100 thousand, Congratulations !!!
When you get 100000 subscribers can you do a q/a with your dad. Love the videos.
Like 10th generation dairyman
What type JF you have
question , doesn't the silage compost will its sitting . that can't be a good thing ,huh ?
It ferments. They pack it so there is less air which let's it ferment instead of rotting.
I grew up in osler, my best friends family had dairy farm, the sawatzky is their family name! Miss the dairy farm! Moved away to bc now on
My own hobby farm! Love the vids man!!
love that name first time i heard your name on this channel. you do such a great job at your farm keep up the good work
Nice team work with sis gotta Love 💕 MOMS!! You scare me when you put your hand in those blades when machine is running 😬 Nice video
Did you consider a telehandler over a wheel loader
Always informative and you do a great job explaining. I do love the smell of fresh cut alfalfa
Jan is a big name in my old family ancestors from Schleswig Holstein ,duchy of Husum,on the North Sea.
Can you show us how you mounted the duals on your case loader
Great Video, I kinda thought it could have some more rolling but hey let us know how the cows like it, thanks for sharing
Just 900 more subscribers and you reach the magic 100k followers, well done.
Looks like you had a good cut. Has the rain been good for you guys this year? I am from about 500 miles east and we have had too much.
Question for you how come come you guys use a pull type silage chopper instead of a self-propelled machine ? Do you guys run close to 300 milking cows ?
Im no farmer, but i love this vids!!!

Interesting & enjoyable Good TEAM WORK by all getting the job done. 99K subscribers Already excited for the next vlog to be the thebig one
What kind of tarps do you use for covering the silage?
It looks like your moisture has been adequate. Are you average for rain totals?
First cut. Smells so good.
Any plans to construct any more concrete bunk silos?
one question why wouldn't u beton the ground to put silage on?
Greetings from Poland . I have two questions . what is the yield of alfalfa per silo - hectares per hour? what chop length at which dry matter
Curious as to why you silage with such a high moisture content? Most silage that I have seen on other YT farming channels is much dryer/browner.
Yeah the KidDutch is back 👍 you sure know how to do a lot of stuff for a young man keep up the good work
Funny how I can just look at a video of Alfalfa and know exactly what it smells like. I do miss that.
Is a case 285 vertualy the same as a new Holland TG 285 just different color ?
Do you fill the loader tires with water or drilling mud to increase compaction on your silage? Blessings.
Hey Jan! Another great video, I really enjoy them all! One thing though, I didn't know Farmer's wore sneakers!! LOL Keep up the great work!
in the feedlot/dairy areas in west texas New Mexico, you can hire a crew to tarp piles.
Do guys around your area grow corn and feed corn silage?. That’s what majority of guys around here do. Watching from Lancaster PA. Like your channel keep up the good work
Good vid Yan, you need that good dinner your Mom makes for all the work you do... Also, must finally be warmer weather in Saskatchewan, you are wearing summer shorts 😎
*Whoa Jan, you're breaking records!!*
*By the way, thanks Jan!*
Hey Mate, how do you call your chopping machine once again? Greetings from Uganda.
Great Video as always, curious how much is wasted putting that on the ground?
Wow your sister is helping you with the truck nice man shes a great girl :)
Thanks Jan for the great video!
How much of the inoculant did u use?
That lunch looked really good. Thanks mom. 😀
Do you ensilage on a concrete pad or was that on dirt? Looked like a a ground pad, I wonder how much you loose to run off that way..?
Hey. I am also a diary farmer in India. I just glad to see your work.
How did you start with the cows?
Been waiting for this for the past few posts
I live your channel guys, please keep them coming 😁
