Long time viewer and got to say I really like this channel. Eric you seem more relaxed and I'll bet one dollar it's the awesome sleeps you and your family are getting now in the new house. Cheers to all. 🇨🇦
So if you get away from alfalfa. What are your target goals then for planting high protein forages. Im just curious what your rotation would look like. Cause we are going into our first yr of no till.
🚜🌾🧹 Your farm is truly impressive! The attention to detail and cleanliness of your barn is commendable. It's evident that you take great pride in maintaining a well-organized and hygienic environment for your animals. 🌟🐮🌾 Keep up the excellent work, and may your soybeans thrive as you continue to enhance your farming practices. 🌱👨🌾🌿
I was just gonna comment on how clean it is. I've worked at a few different farms. Dairy cows, Cattle, Chicken, and your run of the mill grain farms down here and NONE of them were ever this clean. It's nice to see people taking pride in their work like this.
Well the reseeding happens I supposed, but I know that is frustrating too. The mat grooving looks to me like it will work pretty good, keeps the cost down too, win win. Thanks for sharing, I hope your week is going good!
Amazing what you have to do on a farm like this. You are very innovative, Eric. Love to see the cows from time to time. Beautiful creatures and yes some are over curious. God bless you and yours.
I love your determination Eric. Especially when important activities like planting don’t always turn out as planned. No time for regrets. Replanting over the first planting was a good solution. I hope it produces an abundant harvest for you. Thanks for another action packed video with great content!
Eric I think you guys will enjoy the Milwaukee brand. I made the switch a couple of years ago and am down to one Dewalt drill driver left. I used my Dewalt reciprocating saw last month and the tool holder failed and went into pieces. Great excuse to buy a new Sawzall.
Getting a hard pan over the seed is always a great bummer. If conditions are right we can use a cambridge roller to crack the crust open again. But that would just work on tilled soil I guess. I didn't expect you having issues with crusting since you seed directly into the soil.
Another great video! Again, enjoy your explanations. You grooving those rubber pads with that tiny “iron” had to be exhausting! Love seeing the cows run outside and their sometimes silly demeanor and jumping around….
Turn the cutting blade upsidedown in that iron that's what they call a razor cut when grooving tires it's great traction and doesn't take near as much of the rubber up and you can get several more regrooves on the rubber before having to replace it.
Welcome to the red side! The fuel lineup is awesome, and not too terribly expensive once you have some batteries and start buying tool only. Doesn't take long to get a nice collection going
Excellent video Eric! Hope you get some rain as needed. Not too much. Not too little. Clearly, you and your family are taking great care of pretty much everything else on the farm. Doing an outstanding job of it as far as I can see. Loads of respect for what you do and prayers for the things that only faith can do. Thanks for the video.
My dad (god bless) always used to say that cows were the most cantankerous animals we had; they can be funny and very irritating when they want to be. I always wondered how they made liquorice laces!
“There’s always a cow that’s gotta find the weak point in your operation. That’s just how it is.” What a great line! 😂😂. Your arms are going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger after scoring all of that rubber flooring! Lots of neat camera angles and great shots of the cows in this video. Wonderful job! Thanks for your efforts.
Greetings from Sweden. Been following you since the start. Love watching your videos. I like that you show everything you do, it makes for a good variety in your videos.
You can buy a battery adaptor so you can use your DeWalt battery on your Milwaukee tools and vise versa save a lot of headaches when switching brands. I paint mine according to what adpaper it is and it helps me a lot. I to a two-town pint like red on to and yellow on the bottom so I know it’s to use DeWalt batteries on my Milwaukee.
Great Job with the new treading in the milking area! Reminded me when you had the concrete scored by that guy. Glad you were able to get on top of that burning in the field. A lot to keep your eyes on but you're doing it Eric and of course your Dad too!!
Ingenious idea to add traction to the floor. Not only do you have to childproof your house, you also have to cow proof your barn. Like you said, there's always one. Stay safe.
You need to till your fields somehow. The ground is so hard it looks like nothing is going to grow through that hard surface. Your can hear the planter, when it’s in the ground it sounds like it’s hitting something. Next year make a good seed bed, it will be easier on your planter and the plant your growing will grow better.
Utah has over 150 wildfires right now, the smoke is wafting Eastward and causing health problems in DENVER . PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE monitor all fires carefully, NEVER leave a fire unattended, especially as you say because we are so DRY ,
Those are set ablaze by the elites for land management and smoke out everyone.. also chemtrails spread white fosferese all over the trees and it dries them out and kills them and then they start the fire and we are recording hotter fires then ever recorded because of the fofsferes
"There's always a cow that got to find the weak point in your operation" T-shirt line right there. 🤣
They also make a different kind of tire siper that has two handles and has more grooves so it could get done faster and save your arms.
Yup and you got them on battery to

Fixing that rubber will be tiring. But you can do it.
So if you get away from alfalfa. What are your target goals then for planting high protein forages. Im just curious what your rotation would look like. Cause we are going into our first yr of no till.
Great question
I your fathers age Eric, and every time I watch your videos I think your dad is saying “Thank God I have such a great son”!!!

Cutting the grooves in the rubber fits something I always told my kids: "It's really easy, it's just really hard".
hard work, sweat and sometimes tears man. you encourage me
Please go into detail about abandoning alfalfa and other feed crops , great work

It's hard to believe..the cows saw the difference in the floor
I like watching those tractors on the field. From the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲

Team Red! 😅
Love all of your videos! Keep up the awesome content! I'd love to see some 4k videos!
what are you going to plant if you stop planting alfalfa
More rye/triticale is the spring and double crop soybeans
Glad to see your videos. I've been watching others. But am glad to see your videos.
You do a excellent job with the farm.
Yea the camera work is awesome thanks for what y’all do bless y’all
Hi Eric and dad awesome video you’re always improving saw Megan she been with for awhile and as always you and you’re families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

You have to be patient on ground. Special owr ground in se Michigan. But get er done..
We just finished the bunch for the neighbor. This is a unusual year😮

really awesome video Eric. Thank you so so much
Sudan grass will make the tons, it's just hard to get dry it has a very thick stem.
that's actually hilarious its the same cow two separate times
I enjoyed you working in the parlor again in this video. A nice change of pace from the field work :)
Wowed TH-cam, I'm subbed with the bell on and this is the first video I've gotten a notification for since the new house foundation.

Eric, always love to see the work around the farm.
Hey Eric.... Thanks for your videos..... it gives us a unique view on life...... Congrats on a nice nice home..... :)
Groovy, Man! 😃That looks like hard work, pace yourself. Great show!
The parlor can be an example on cleanliness for sure.
great idea for the floor well done
Hope this farm thrives always great stuff to watch 🐮🚜
Your a hard workin kid. Much respect.
Parlour hygiene is very impressive. Consistent routines and good management shows!!
We had the same problem with the soybeans 2 years ago on ploughed field. It was rock hard soil
Yinz are gonna love the milwaukee batteries and power,,,i switched 6 years ago and love them !!!!!!
That is a lot of work and hard but your no stranger to that keep up the great work thank for the vids
Eric Milwaukee makes excellent powered rachets and impacts. Congrats on the switch to Milwaukee.
It's been very dry out in Wisconsin too, we've had multiple burn bans already, and a few small prairie fires out in the state lands.

You are a stud Eric, keep up the good work.
Great video. I love your videos
For fires on the sprayer should have a line so you can use it’s pump with a fire house
I love cow react the frist time they go out to paster.
Bummer it's been a dry spring for u and glad that fire didn't spread fast definitely a great idea putting the groves in the floor for the cows
That matting begged for a herringbone pattern; a missed opportunity for some milk-parlor style.
Try a circular saw at a shallow setting for doing grooves in your rubber mats
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Very dry May here in Michigan also!!
amazing hard working young man.
NOT an easy job. On your hands and knees working so hard. My hat is off to you. Pipe extension is a good idea. Thank you for sharing.
🐄
Cows love to go where they aren't supposed to go! There has to be a good use for the black spaghetti you are making!
that made my knees hurt!
I think I would have built a tool holder to mount that iron in that was heavy enough to maintain down pressure and adjustable for depth and on wheels.
Another great video

Hard earned money spent on those Milwaukee Tools heard you loud and clear
Switch to Milwaukee also and it was the best switch
Thanks a lot
That fire could’ve been SOOO much worse. I’m glad you caught it when you did!
Set blade depth on skill saw a bit of debris but way easier and pop lines to follow
Those ladies are so attentive to their environment they knew it was their smart cows GOD BLESS my brother
You’ll never go to any other brand now that you have Milwaukee. Top quality tools.
Your cows sound like little kids getting into everything they shouldn’t. Have them stand in the corner for a half hour. LOL😂😂
Why are you moving from alfalfa?
i think i could cut those lines, but straight they would not be
Hi Eric, big fan of your channel! You mentioned you're moving away from alfalfa; what are you guys planning on doing instead?
Pretty groovy Eric. 😂
that pasture off the barns - they absolutely love it! (compare your production with an operation that doesn't have a pasture?)
no slip - the cows approved it looks like
thank you
You won’t go back to dewalt after Milwaukee. Keep up the great hard work you do.
Eric, I have dewalt and Milwaukee. They make an adapter that lets you use dewalt battery’s with Milwaukee, or vise versa. Works great.
Cows are thoroughly observant. She knew right away something was different with the floor.
All good!!
Bummer. Too bad you had to re-seed. Good going with “re-styling” the rubber mat. It islooking good.
you got enough licorice to last a year !!! Good job, greetings from Australia
There are Dewalt Milwaukee battery adapters FWIW.
Grooving that rubber was a good idea. Although I would hope you plow straighter than that LOL
we are entering into an El Nino season, and its supposed to be drier up in your area of the country this year.

Man you’re going to be there for ever cutting grooves 😳😳😳
I recommend Ryobi power tools.
Just subscribed to the channel great content. Do you feed any dry hay?
Thanks, we feed a little bit of dry hay.
Taking care of your animals!!
Great video
