Good progress on the barn. Hope y'all beat the weather to finish. Seeing you walking the field picking up bales brought back memories from a long time ago. Thanks for the video. 🚜🇺🇸
That poor ole Bobcat needs some tlc, I think your hauling a whole load stuck on to it. Good job on the alleys. Always feels to get these things done. I’m looking forward to seeing the new barn utilized. Fall is here for sure. Take care to all the family. Jan you do such a great job educating us on everything you do, who knew hay could be so complicated and interesting. Nice leaf left in the bales.
He should clean it everyday. If i left anything dirty at the dairy i worked at years ago, I would’ve got my arse chewed out. I know it may get dirty again but it’ll last a lot longer.
I'll agree 100% with baling when there is dew on the alfalfa. When I used to farm I would go out at anywhere from 11PM to 1 AM depending on how much dew the hay absorbed by that time. I would bale the rest of the night as the leaf retention was excellent. It was kind of cool to watch the sun come up while finishing up the field. Great video!! Never a dull moment when you have livestock! Good luck and have a great 2022.
Love the calf that got stuck in the fence. Cows can be so funny. My neighbors cows got out and in to my garden one year munching away. I kept tapping on the butt with a board they just mooed and kept munching the neighbor and I had quite a time getting them out. I guess the garden tasted good.
I think the cows are funny too. They are curious creatures. I sometimes feel sorry for them, but I made my peace with how farm animals are treated years ago.
Can't wait till your expansion is complete so that you can get a normal day of work in instead of trying to get around everything that is in the way to complete a job like cleaning pens out and moving cows around. You always produce awesome videos and your family farm is always neat, you should be proud of yourself and your family as it shows everyone is doing there job.
I would like to see Jan flex some of his dutch speaking skills. I imagine his father speaks it. And then add some subtitles. It doesnt need to be that long, just some banter.
I can TOTALLY see why those cows didnt want to go through the 'man door'. They are ladies. Call it the 'Lady Portal' and in like flint they will go! Keep up the good work!

Hi Jan! You do such an excellent job recording and narrating your videos! It's so cool all the different things you get to do, makes the job less boring. Thanks for the barn update, sure is looking great! Take care and stay safe!
Will the expansion be done before the cold weather arrives?? Skid steer still needs a good hot bath. Curious who the 8 people are that didn't like the video. Jan makes good videos with lots of info.
Everything is looking great! I do believe within a month that addition will be done & functional. Sometimes cutting it close to the line works out fine. For me, the heating repairs to my home are scheduled right on the day we usually get our first snow! Kind of exciting.
Always a pleasure to see another Intresting & Informative vlog from SDK "Hind Sight is the Devil for sure . Your temp today (sept 24 ) was 36 F - Central Florida 71. and thta is COLD for us this time of yrear. Thanks for sharing you work days - Great preogresson the Expanded Barn 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜 🚜
You might want to start considering using polyurethane foam I've been doing the state-of-the-art open-air Dairies in Idaho where they have the misting system and the curtains we put 2in of spray foam on the roof but I did notice that you are a wood frame building down here they're Steel I've learned a lot considering I come from Kodiak Island Alaska
Awesome project nearing completion, should make your working day flow better once its complete. Another great vid Jan, very interesting and informative.
Jan, why not tip the water troughs out before you started cleaning the dung passage way out, then the floor starts off dry? Plus those bales, you can see the difference, but is that also due to different parts of the field, crops growing better etc? Just a couple of comments- and the steer with its head stuck- typical dumb trick they pull every so often lol!!!
Jan could I ask and answered or directed to a video with a answer. Did you attend school to learn any of your agricultural knowledge or just learned from hands on? I am a 52 yo woman from Tennessee USA and love to watch and learn from you, even though I'll never put it into action but who knows I can answer a question, maybe! God Bless you and your family!
@@andrewterry8092 LOL. I was kind of serious. Quite of few guys in our area do that in between turkey/chicken/hog barns so that they don't have to keep the grass mowed.
Given the large roofs feeding water into that space, should plant water-hungry crops in there. Rice, cotton (will those grow in Sask)?, Maybe watermelon? But they need a fair amount of sun, and that area looks to be shaded most of the time. Maybe some olive or almond trees -- they'll grow higher to get more sun. But this might just add to their workload, for little gain.
@@mathewkoesters4867 I could't resist, the way you worded it was like, no big deal, just a few clicks to add sheep, goats and chickens to make it 'look' right, regardless of the market for these animals in Saskatchewan. They hardly have enough rain to grow anything, weeds don't seem to be a problem for the short growing season. Hell, it's so short they can't grow corn, they silage barley.
Poor steer! He just wanted the good green stuff on the other side of the fence. In this case, the grass is greener on the other side. I see they care for their animals, but factory farming is not natural and a sad life for the cows.
You will be able to get lost with that new addition and literally be able to walk in circles! What will the total length be? Once it is all done you should take us around for a full lap!
No, I'd say. 1. It would take a big investment in equipment to collect & use the biogas. 2. Then they would have to buy commercial fertilizer for the fields to replace the manure they use now. 3. That commercial fertilizer is energy-intensive to produce & transport to their farm, just to replace the manure that is produced naturally, and is right at their location. So that is a net loss for the planet.

Hes done that once and it looked same the next day.
He should clean it everyday. If i left anything dirty at the dairy i worked at years ago, I would’ve got my arse chewed out. I know it may get dirty again but it’ll last a lot longer.
Thank you friend for sharing a new update on your project in the dairy industry.🤟

good to see the barn coming along

A nice comfortable winter ahead when it's all finished
Great SaskDutch Kid Video, thanks for sharing
WOW! AWESOME NEW BARN!...CONGRATS!...thanks 4 video. be kind.
Glad you got the bales done and moisture free and the new barn is going to be awsome
Awesome addition. Love the 3rd cutting.
Another great video as usual, your family has to be very proud of you! We all are!
This is just coming along so great great job you are all doing , those lady’s are going to have a 5star resort when all said and done
Thanks for the update.
Great video as always!!!!!!glad to see things are going well!!!
You guys could cover that part between the two barns and store bales in there to keep them nice and dry
New barn looks good! Big operation you guys have going!
I can TOTALLY see why those cows didnt want to go through the 'man door'. They are ladies. Call it the 'Lady Portal' and in like flint they will go! Keep up the good work!

Great reach on that bobcat! Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴

Hi ya handsome! Looking great. I can’t wait to see the new addition done!!❤️
They look like good heavy bales
Fall must be coming When you hear the snow geese heading south!
Check your fan blades for cracks while they are easy to inspect.
Beautiful sunrise!
Will the expansion be done before the cold weather arrives?? Skid steer still needs a good hot bath.

Great progress. Why don't you carry out Angus embreos transplant on 70% of your milking cows? Their steers will eat less and sell at higher price.
Great video can't wait to see the cows in the new barn

Another great video Jan. Thank you for all the effort you put forth to include us in your daily activities!
Hopefully there are plans/money for solar...Great job...Thank you
Jan, hey man, I love your life. You are blessed. Thank you for all the great videos.
Addition gonna be sweet when it's finished. More room is always a good thing. Hav a good nite guys🌛

Great to see so many videos in a short amount of time
I from india .....
Beautiful work
I APPRECIATE ALL THE DETAILS YOU PUT INTO YOU VIDEOS, I TELL MY GRANDKIDS ABOUT YOUR COWS AND SHOW THEM THE VIDEOS.
Can you tell me again why the expansion portion is 2 feet taller than the existing?? Thanks.
Those 2x4 are called purlins on the roof
Thats a big barn.
Throw that skid steer in the manure wagon and grow a crop of grain on it 😝
Barn is looking good!!!! What made u have the roof higher on the new part??
I bet you think, and say often how excellent skid steers fit in operating a dairy?
Hey Jan
The barn looks sweet . Thanks for the vid .
Awesome project nearing completion, should make your working day flow better once its complete.
Another great vid Jan, very interesting and informative.
The expansion will be great
Great video as always brother, have a great day, Aloha🤙🏼🤙🏼
You have a big dairy farm!
Love your stuff Jan. 👍
Wish you had a equipment dealer that would let you try out the top of the line new equipment for today's survival on the dairy farm
I love how you always have a smile on your face and are so upbeat.
I do like the idea of the flip up Gates they don't use them down here they look really handy
It was great to see that you got a good yield on third cutting. Addition looks great and your video was super. thanks Jan till next time.
can you do one time a vlog in dutch. and your a very good vlogger and you tell is perfect.
5-star barn expansion! Blessings.

Lots of progress on the new barn. Are you going to get a few days off?
Barn looks nice! I imagine the construction bill isn't so attractive.
Agreed! I bet it’s attractive to the builders, though! Haha
Yay! Love you Jan!
Thank you!

Barn is looking great
When you can, can you show us or me some babies when they start to come???
Barn looks Great. You need some sheep, goats and or chickens to fill in your 'court yard' or whatever you want to call it.
This is not Farming Simulator.

@@andrewterry8092 Ya, I didn't think of it being that dry up your way. In Ohio, sometimes in the spring you need to mow grass twice a week to keep up.
Hey yan like your videos, from the imperial co California.
How will the Juno handle all this extra work/distance?
You should do a pressure washing video on that bobcat lol
Lol, that was funny right there!!! 😂
👍👌🇨🇦❤, another Sask boy, me too
Poor steer! He just wanted the good green stuff on the other side of the fence. In this case, the grass is greener on the other side. I see they care for their animals, but factory farming is not natural and a sad life for the cows.
Hey when are u going to fix the hood on your case loader lol
The manure production next year should be really bountiful.
You are one of the very best youtubers out there!
Great video
Why don't you use the mature spreader to bring the sand in?
You will be able to get lost with that new addition and literally be able to walk in circles! What will the total length be? Once it is all done you should take us around for a full lap!
Another great video. Barn is looking really good.
That was fast
Fine farm
Veery hard work man
That wasn't so bad. I was afraid removing six weeks of manure one bucket at a time would be like eating a bowl of rice one grain at a time.
Sounds like your bull is letting you know who is king of the ladies.
why dont you guys clean the bobcat
Can you do a day in a life video ?
Just checked to see if you had dropped a video and I’m first to get it
Nice sunset the new build is looking good
Haha that’s awesome! Thank you!
Cheers.
Good morning!
Mornin
I wonder if anyone has ever tried to make a big vacuum to go on a baler for alfalfa?
Why is it called mandoor and not womandoor?
Jan needs more social life while he is young.
Would it make any financial sense to use the manure to generate energy?
No, I'd say.
1. It would take a big investment in equipment to collect & use the biogas.
2. Then they would have to buy commercial fertilizer for the fields to replace the manure they use now.
3. That commercial fertilizer is energy-intensive to produce & transport to their farm, just to replace the manure that is produced naturally, and is right at their location. So that is a net loss for the planet.
Hello I would like to start a same business in my country ALG can you please help me with advice and how to start?
Thank you
Where can I buy Alfalfa seeds

Great job jan
