Waiting on a farmer is a good thing because farming is everyone bread and butter. Just can't live without them.
I hope you never leave us.Your a breath of fresh air.
Meridith, you are a good farmer. You are definitely an asset. I hope the farmer appreciates you.
Thank you SO MUCH for the shout our Meredith! You are so dang sweet :)
You’re welcome! Thank you for letting me be a part of your amazing video. 🥰
Thanks for promoting and directing me over towards Sass family farms. Good job Mrs B.
I like watching man and woman working as a team.
Please tell Mr. Bernard how much I appreciate him allowing you to share The Farm with us. The countless lives that are richly blessed by allowing us experience farming. We have truly have had our eyes open to where our food comes from. Our family has had discussion we would have never had about cows, pigs, chickens, sheep , and Grains. Thank You

Always a bright spot watching your videos. Hard working all american family. Thank you all of your efforts in farming and sharing.
IT is always good to see a family working together on a farm . Keep up the good work .
Definately not enough of this going on in the world anymore. Husband and wife working together and raising there family and making an honest living while also providing BEEF for the rest of the world. Its so nice to be able to keep up with the family’s on youtube that actually don’t mind showing the goods and bads and struggles that come along with farming, trusting God and what the land gives you to survive just like people did many many years ago. With all the craziness going on in America these people never let it get to them they just do what they know how to do and pray and keep trucking right along. Glad you guys enjoy sharing your life with us 👍
That little baler does a heck of a job!!!
Each time I watch your videos, I am amazed at all that you know how to do to help your husband. You are such a cute couple and make a great team! Your kids are also very helpful and awesome, too! Love your videos!❤😊
I just watched and I must say I know you all having been doing this for many years. However, I can’t explain it or tell you why when I see you all having so much fun and your smiles it just does my heart good. I mean it just makes me happy. I just want to thank you, your husband and family for bringing such joy to me and what your farm does to help feed folks.
Thank you, Ron S
Thanks Meredith, My wife and I really enjoy you sharing your farm life with us. Love your beautiful children.
Thank you and her!
I loved spending the day with you and Rita. Good work.
Meredith, You look great and proud as a true Farm Wife on that tractor. A great example for all who watch!
You can do it Meredith. You and Lawrence are pros.🥰
After the winter and all the flooding it brought I am amazed the number of bales y’all got baled. If only folks knew the worry of our farmers. We love y’all and what you provide for the rest of us. Hats off to our Farmers and their wives. God Bless them.
I said the other day that you were really excited about your office/shecave but I'll say coming in at a very close second is seeing you in the tractor cab raking hay. Just the look on your face tells the story and I too got excited. I am jealous of Lawrence because he had a partner who is really a "farm wife" and a valuable asset on the farm. Keep up the good work and whenever there's equipment to operate, I'd love to see you more often in the seat. I've always believed that you could drive. Oh, I'm also proud when I see a woman operate a manual transmission; called a "stick" by city women.
Thanks for showing us how that Baler worked. Not being a farm person myself but a automotive mechanic. it's neat to see how they make that stuff work together. Doing a great job girl Lord's blessing you. All the best from Canada
Another beautiful day at Bernard Family Farms. Thank you LORD.
Thanks for watching!
Meredith.
Rock and Roll girl you are a great rack operator and that hay looks beautiful. I am sure those heifers will surely chow down with a smile with that hay quality Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Farm Equipment.
That face when Lawrence said don’t hit any telephone poles!🤣You did awesome and it showed you were having fun.
I used to enjoy the haying. I had an old sickle mower and an old rake, but had to hire someone to bale the hay. The guy with the baler would always bale his hay first, so my hay had a chance to get wet if it rained. When we moved to North GA, I sold the rake and bought all my hay. Like you, I thought raking hay was fun, even artistic. When I was younger, I even worked in a hayfield with small, square bales. Now that was a lot of work. Throwing 60 pound bales up on a trailer and trying to keep up the pace. I was glad to go to the big round bales.
You guys are a breath of fresh air, doing great ! He couldn’t do without you
Funny you asked if you could haul hay tomorrow, I was going to say since you and Rita do such a good job of raking that it was time for you to learn how to haul and help him. Another year or two and Wesley will be able to start helping more. You looked so happy and relaxed while raking, I can tell you like doing that. Good video and a long day.
I love to hear those Deere run. Don't miss a beat !
Nice video. You have a wonderful family. I hope you all stay safe and healthy.
👍👌🇨🇦❤, a longer video is great, everyday stuff is just great, heating up my skillet as I watch, Bonnie ridin' shotgun, Merideth girl you are a treasure
Lawrence is fortunate in many ways. He needs to know that he is farming with the equipment that I never had but wished I did. The 4440, the 4 row planter, the rake and baler, combine. The only thing in common with me is the Farmall M. I am retired now but I sure enjoy the vids and the equipment.
My dad would run the round baler on a JD4320 while I raked ahead of him on a Farmall. Plenty of dust and sunshine but we didn't know any better. Days gone by that I wish to have back. Treasure each moment, it eventually passes by.
Enthusiasm is great! Hauling is doable - you will be OK!
ring back memories of hay baling on my Uncle's farm. they were square bales. This was back in the 60's ✔✔✔👌👌👌👌
@Gavin McDowell - Same here. I grew up on our family dairy farm in the 1940's - 1950's, and bailing and hand stacking square bales on hillsides and in the hayloft kept me in shape. I loved it.
Y'all should think about getting a small battery powered "leaf" blower so use on the baler before added twine and such. It really helped us out.
Awesome job raking and make straight windrows the person baling always likes a straight windrow. Loved the facial express from LB when you asked can I help haul bales tomorrow. Great team work.
Looks like You have fun raking . Good job Meredith!
It's been a long somewhat unsatisfying day for me but I saw your video link and thought I would take it in for an uplift before calling it a day. Thanks so much! So great to see those gorgeous views of a field full of fresh bales. Y'all did a great job! Watching the weather from here with great interest. Sure hope that river bottom doesn't get all flooded again. Blessings. Oh, by the way, came across a channel today. Can't remember her name but she was wearing a Spread Butter, Not Hate shirt of yours. That was great. Love that you farmers support each other so well.
Glad ya'll had good day of it. It's nice when you can have fun working.
Love watching your Amazing farm life. You are such a beautiful lady. A hard worker something always to be done but you do it all with a smile on your face. Just love that. Until next time. God of bless you and your family. Keep you all protected while getting everything done.
I'm glad to see the team work involved in your farm. It's impressive you know how to do all the chores you do besides being the Mom. You should be proud of all that you do M. I'm sure LB would be lost without you.
That’s kind. Thanks Ray. We make a good team 🙂
you make raking grass a special event love your videos!!!!!
I’ve watched y’all year around, different weather, different seasons, and all the things that go along with farming,,, the smiles are always there,,, Great Job !!! In this times of woe and want,,, its people like your family that’s keeping it real!!!
Thank you!
You sure have lots of plans for storing your grains. I love the mustache.
The photo of you leaning against the barn is very pretty
Hello, I enjoy your show very much. Hope you can keep it going and, doing well.
You folks have a lot of talent and , I hope y'all always do well.
One thing you may want to try on your machines where dust is a problem, is
Silicone spray or liquid up put a small sprayer.
The pulley on the bailer is a very good example of the use of silicone solving the problem. Being careful not to get the spray or other product application is VERY important as, if it gets on the paint you can't paint over that area as the paint won't stick.
Be WELL and carry on.
A month ago the video showed a 4320. Now baling and raking with cabs. 4320's are great classic JD's. Where did they go. Kinda like the red Dodge diesel, lots of guys would give good money for a clean 4320. Good to see good equip (and operators) doing a good job. Another good show! KUTGW!!
Always used the 4440s for making hay in these videos. Good cabs keep out the miserable dust and have air conditioning.
We always use the 4440s to rake and bale. I talked about the dust, the cabs are so much nicer. But we use the 4320s at times for other things like feeding hay.
Thank you for sharing the sound of Barley being bailed. Perfect. Still Laughing.
Good luck with the weather⛈🌧 🙏🌞🌞🌈 sharp pocket knife!
I think Lawrence said (As long as you don't hit a telephone pole) Sounds like a good story behind that !!! :) Have a good day .
I might have clipped one last year 🤭
Love your kids with the cows, that was neat. It’s nice to see all the bails.
I do believe that pretty flower was a yarrow plant that made it to seed. Got one of those plant books that talk about herbs? Be a picture in there that tells what all it is used for. Health wise, a very important plant in the scheme of things for people. At least Wrangler jeans are still made in america and we like that. I like the fact that this president says, we are americans n need to use american products. I like that. I sure hope we can open back up soon as we are getting cabin fever. I don't need none extra of that at my age. Won't be long and you can play in your crib! Good luck Sleeves
good vids...no noisy music on your channel. Its always nice to get hay up ..baled and in the barn.
Thank the good Lord nothing went wrong. I pray you and your family. He gets 4 cuttings of hay or more. Because Farmers hate buying hay. God bless you all. Miss Austin didn't see her.
i just love watching your family getting things done together your so blessed thank you for being here
Stan here thanks for the extra point Meredith!
🥳🥳🥳🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
👍👌🇨🇦❤, how can this channel not have a 100k subs, the rest of the world is just missing out on a whole lotta fun, just sayin', put that on a T-shirt Meredith, Front, always waiting on the farmer, back, and it works both ways
You was killing me with the bailer slurping up the hay
Haha
Meredith enjoyed watching a husband and wife show off there team work skills 💪 with a great sense of humor to make it fun and I am sure if you eat lunch in the same field it is considered a lunch date 😆farm style.the kids are always helping out where ever they are needed great video thanks for sharing
You are the GRIN REAPER !!
Ha!😄
Hi Meredith,we paint a stripe on adjustable equipment like your rake. That way you can always see where you need to set your width.
Barley Bales look good! Cows will love them!
Acres of Clay Homestead.
How are your garden seedlings coming along? I've been waiting for a update.
Good morning good to see y’all today.
@@mtpocketswoodenickle2637 dont think she going to soil a video
Part 1, very productive raking, and baling day....and can't leave out planting seed! Today, while the guys went to work, I pulled out the tractor and did some cutting, and taking. Love using the tractor, makes work so much easier. I'm thinking about cleaning the UTV.
You’ve been busy too!
@@ThisFarmWife_ Yes Ma'am, always busy here!
HAY MEREDITH GREAT VID FROM AN OLD BROKE DOWN MECHANIC FROM LONG ISLAND NEW YORK TRANS PLANT TO SOUTH EAST FL. I SURE MISSED MY CALLING LOVE LOVE FARMING NOW !!!! FANTASTIC FAMILY AND LOVE FROM STAN !!!
Thank you so much!
Lawrence could use a net wrap attachmant on that baler to really speed up the process. Only takes about 8 seconds to wrap one & its out, plus it protects the hay from weather alot better when bales are stored outside...
You guys make a great team. Hay is looking really good.👌👌
President just anounced BILLIONS for farmers , I HOPE, that yall get some help, cattle ranchers are one of our most important food sources , , And my favorite , BLESS YALL
I saw that, not sure what it will mean for us, if anything. Thankful he's offering support, though, because there are a lot of farms need it desperately.
Remember who's saying this. Don't count your money until you see it in your hands.
4:01 Bobwhite quail whistling in the background. Love it.
Great video you’ve got a natural descriptive talent and make whatever you are doing interesting. I’ll bet local TV would love to use some of your videos.
Hay day , Is always a good day ! Tan on ! Throttle up !
Great video, great job, love haying, watching Lawrence the the knots, cut off the excess, brought back wonderful memories, thanks so much for sharing
You and Lawrence make a good team!
It’s GREAT Seeing you so happy 👍🏾👍🏾🚜🇺🇸
i miss farming and fiksing the mashins/traktors!
Raking hay with a double, in a cab. Contrast that with our system back in the day - Ford 4000 open platform with 8’ side delivery rake in 3-point hitch. Even I’d have liked to rake with your equipment! I’d spend a half morning mowing on a Ford 2000 with 7’ sickle bar, then grease the baler and rake, then switch over to the rake and rake up the prior days cutting, then Dad would come home from work and fire up the Allie Chalmers WD45 with small round baler, and start on what I raked that afternoon. I’d finish a half hour or so ahead of him. Rinse, repeat. You guys can move so much faster!
That’s Allis Chalmers
You guys make a good team! So glad that Lawrence let you help him haul the hay...it went very well. Loving your videos!
Great job yall did and some good looking hay!! Love your videos,,,Dont think my wife and I have missed any videos!!
i really love watching all of your videos , my favorite ones ofcourse are the hay raking and rolling ones, it is extremely funny how you have all your equipment named, its really amazing how yall are so down to earth no matter what, i have just ordered you ball cap that has the red white and blue emblem on the front, didnt know if you might sometime be able to sign it , both of you,, i sit here some days and watch your videos 4 or 5 hours, keep up the great work , tell Lawerence hello .
Very good backing up! Professional.
Meredith, I don't understand people that try to tell you how to rake and at what speed when they have never been on your farm or your equipment. I'm certain that LB has a lot more experience on both the equipment and your farm. Take your direction from hubby and you'll do just fine. Keep up the great videos and stay safe.
That's always my plan. ;) Thanks so much!
You are the farmers wife , great job on loading the bucket , like they say if there's will there's way , boy glad to see you so happy working your rack, wish I was racking with you love hay season , enjoy love your hay videos .
Meredith, that was a very clever intro into the video today. You sure are a happy raker my dear. It is a distinct pleasure watching all of you at work. No lost motion to speak of. And you back up that rake real well. I was also greatly impressed by your ability to start all of those engines, today.
Thank you!
What a great "feel good" video Meredith. Nice seeing you do so much on your own, I think Lawrence is one of the hardest working men I've ever seen. When he told you not to hit any telephone poles I spewed my chocolate milk! Thanks guys!
Ken Graham I probably shouldn't say but someone did hit a telephone pole here backing up on a dually fender. Stuff like that sneaks up on you. The day before that loading hay I hit the front bumper on another truck with the tractor.
He’s the hardest working man I know for sure. And his warning was based on my track record 😂
A good day of bailing, nothing had to be fixed, good weather and a pretty girl raking. God Bless.
Stan Ruck Hello there Miss Meredith really enjoy your channel here. from Ohio not that far away.
Glad you got that barley rolled up before the rain Was worried about it, it look really nice. Planting corn here
in ohio. need to get after beans soon. Also have some beef cows here, Herefords. And a GLEANER M3 Combine.
Our hay is still short, because of the cold weather, but the Wheat is starting to pop. any way , Iam a Stan , so get extra points
Have a great week and FARM ON !!!!!!!
Sure enjoy your videos, you and LB make a great team!!
Thank You Bernards! Your videos brighten my day!! You and LB make a great team and thank You for the Sass video, it was awesome. MAKING BEEF AND BUTTER GREAT AGAIN!!!
Love yaw kids and puppies and Cows
Thank you for sharing. It’s so nice to see someone enjoy and appreciate their life.
You are one beautiful young lady....Just love watching your videos...You always look like you are having fun, smiling and have a great attitude...
Great job raking Meredith. Can't wait to see ya haul the hay.
I have faith you'll do good.
Love watching you and your family,
I love your enthusiasm.You make the best of everything each day.That is why things go so well is your positive attitude.Pray for lots of hay for you this year.You take such good care of your fields and your cattle.God Bless you and your family.
its always a good day when you wake up with your right mind!!!!!!!!1 have fun youallllll :) ps cool ear rings
A woman who loves raking hay!!!! Lawrence is a lucky man. Its a good thing I didn't run into you on Hillsborough street. I would have invited you for a Hay ride.
If baling barley made you this happy, you'll be delirious when you bale the Sudan. IF you get a good stand, IF you get rain (and Sudan will wait for the rain, a plus), you SHOULD get 2 cuttings, maybe 5 bales/acre first, and 3 next. Top-dress with N between cuttings. Getting a thick stand helps the quality of Sudan and tonnage. Especially the larger seeded "haygrazer" types like you planted. The smaller seeded "triple-cross" hybrids (I think) produce better. Costs more, but a bag will plant 4 acres. But the seed might not be available there. It's kinda a SW thing. 😊 I needed someone to rake right in front of me. I usually had to do both😞. Like you, though, I always loved doing hay, especially on one of those rare "GOOD" days!
Outstanding on baling 100
Today love yaw and the kids keep the videos coming please what a beautiful place yaw own together please be safe as always
Every video whatever they're doing it's beautiful scenery.
Nice! We had a Farmall H & M along with a B on our farm or my grandparents farm growing up in Minnesota.
I love haying. I could watch it all day. We didn't have cab tractor's in late 60's early 70's when I was baling with my dad. In Montana we would start about 11 am after the dew was off and bale until the dew stopped us about 11 or 12 at night. I started baling when I was 12 like your son. I love watching your family work together.
It sure is nice to have a beautiful day and to get all the work done without problems or breakdowns I always liked to take and bale hay but our take was a side rake unlike what you have and we had an international tractor and small square baler with a thrower loading on wagons funn!!😎
Great job Meredith
