Wow, you sure do know a whole lot about everything, to be so young! You could probably run that whole place by yourself with the knowledge and know-how that you possess! I bet your parents are very proud of you!!!
Dutchy, you have a remarkably strange talent for making manure a fascinating subject! I just find that interesting. Cole Sonne mentioned you on his post today. You guys have a lot in common being able to take the most mundane of activities and make it entertaining. O Canada!
I never minded when it was cow manure but when the pig farm up the road a few miles was emptying and hauling it was a great time to take a short vacation- ( far from the farm)!
I was giving a pig farmer a bid on some electrical work in his pig barn and after awhile as we were shooting the breeze he noticed my eyes were watering lol. He said "we better go outside and talk and I agreed really fast.
Oh come on liquid cow manure is the best smell of the country. When I use to fly home for my week off the first thing I smelt was the dairy farms spreading liquid and that’s a great smell
51WCDodge cow manure is still a weak smell over chicken/ bird and pig I work on a dairy farm and I live on a dairy farm and about 2km away is a big barn so we smell the manure when they spread and there’s a chicken farm that also has land nearby and it also smells very bad
There is so much to do on your operation. I’m amazed by all you do. I’m amazed by all the equipment it takes. I’m amazed by the cleanliness of the cows. It’s like you have 2 operations: farming and a dairy in one. Most people have a hard time doing just one. The management and organization are so impressive. My parents owned a construction company; mostly roadworks and bridge repair. That’s how I know the intensity, constant work and attention to detail the goes on behind the scene. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your work.
Great Videos and drone shots along with great editing and explanations!! Thanks for taking the time to share, You make your profession and parents proud!!
I can only imagine a farmer sitting at home one night thinking "If I could only put an agitator on the back of my boat I could get a better mix of manure; and even pull Jan around on water skis" All kidding aside, that is a neat machine
well I can't say enough about the way you people work!! do that then that again there is no end I am an oldy 89 but Love learning about ALL that you do. Thanks again and again. granny89
That was really cool seeing the that floating agitator. That a big job to get that thing cleaned out. Nice video! Thank you for sharing! Stay safe and healthy :-)
I'm also from the transitional generation that lived with both Imperial & Metric SI units and still use both habitually. Whichever the device is saying is what I use but it's mostly just for weights and lengths. Temperatures are about evenly meaningful too either way.
Good job pulling that tank into the truck bed, keeping your back not straight but arched a tiny bit forward, and using your legs to power your moves. Because just like Herpes, even a small back injury is forever. Keep those knees bent for max power.
Thats the job that makes the country country. Lol. We (all the farms on our ridge) would clean out the barns and lots all at the same time in the fall. If anyone was traveling that 7 mile trek the perfume was at its best. Lol
hi Jan, awesome machine , i never have seen that, wow thats alot of manure to spread on your veld,nice to see al those big tractors and tanks.its a lot of work.thanks for showing us.
Great peace oh kit for agitating your slurry lagoon. Wouldn't work over hear as we have slurry towers. You are getting her don Jan keep her lit. Great video
you haul it Believe it or not I like the smell of fresh manure spread..It reminds me of my childhood I guess,I love to watch your videos they are very entertaining and educational
I take back all the things I ever said about Crappy jobs this job is actually interesting, smelly but interesting. Liked this video Jan, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii 🤙🏼
All those trips and I cant see the level going down yet.Make sure you get enough nap. Guy has to be extra alert doing stuff at night. Pretty interesting vid dude. Peace.
In the UK , where manure lagoons have to covered to prevent overflow to the enviroment , agitation is a matter of life and death. A crust can form on the surface leading to anerobic decomposition, releasing very poisonus gases. People have died where for some reason the lagoon has not been agitated and the crust is then brocken.
I remember growing up my farmer friends talking about how smelly their place was during the days that they emptied the lagoon. I find it interesting that you use Imperial terms a lot rather than metric.
As he said in the video, some of their equipment, such as the speedometer displays mph. And the table for application rate and the tank capacity probably is the same, listed in gallons. And acre is probably more common a measurement than hectare.
@@0xFF48 I suppose it's probably from the US influence, being such close neighbors and a lot of back and forth business. I noticed it with other Canadian TH-camr farmers too, plus the Canadians I know personally use Imperial a lot.
@joe mathis The problem I have is that in UK we still use basically Imperial, but have to convert to metric acros the ditch. I also own two 1944 Dodge 3/4 trucks, so have to remember that US measures differ from Imperial , and then convert to Metric. One good thing A US quart is as close to a litre as damm is to swearing.
the nuhn manufacturing plant and headquarters is just 20 minutes away from me here in ontario. see these all the time in the lot. very cool to see it in action!
Great video, drone view & explanation with rich info once more Jan👍 Just curious about the size of the 'lagoon' or pit or how you call it and of those huge thanks with four axles👍😉 Am not sure, but is the rear axle of those tanks steered? Do you test or anyhow know what the content is of the different nutrients (NPS..) in this slurry? As you say it is key to mixture the slurry properly to blend to fluid part with the more solid parts of the slurry, to allow to pump it ánd to get a more homogeneous product that can be applied to the field with constant concentration. Just curious if and how you could get rid of the sand one way or another? Maybe by using a cyclone somehow (or let it sink or so ..?) in the operation where you pump the slurry out of the pit? Enjoy the night shift, be safe!🚜👍
Great video Jan. I wish you would talk some about the benefits of bedding with sand. It seems to cause you a lot of trouble in the manure pit, but more importantly I can't help but wonder what it is doing to your fields after say 12 to 15 years of spreading sand on them. Would you not be better with sawdust or shavings that would eventually break down in the fields and add nutrients?
Have kind a similar question to Jan. Isn't it possible to separate the sand from the manure and even re-use it for the cows bedding? Maybe by using a cyclone to the pump that pump the slurry form the pit in your . Now your corrals must loose this sand what needs to be supplemented one way or another. It also helps to reduce the weight that need to be moved to the field and possible also helps to reduce the wear of your equipment?
Let’s hope that the lagoon crawler will stir up the sand enough that you only have to empty the lagoon once a year. At least the crap gets recycled back to the land to start the process all over again!
Just so you know... my bass boat with the trolling motor would do the same job as the lagoon floater. My old outboard vibrates so much, it would probably even be faster.
@@alexdrake9931 I was working on a farm that also did Pony trecking across Dartmoor. We had a French Diplomat and his family as guests. One day the wife walked into the kitchen and said in a charming french accent. 'Ave you a .. a.. 'ose pipe? My husband has fallen in they .. how you say it? The sheet? . He'd been walking acros the yard and slipped. It took some time before we could gather ourselves to go to his assistance. :-)
If you get a sand system in to recycle that sand, it might also take care of the clay in the sand. That way you won’t have to deal with the compaction and panning on your bedding. I look forward to seeing your solution.
What a great video! Farming is done on such a large scale these days! Have you ever considered slurry injectors to capture more of the nutrients? Klaus
Is there a fertilizer equivalent difference between knifing versus spraying. Thought I heard studies on the liquid hog manure having much lower fertilizer value from spraying versus knifing in? I heard dry cow manure didn't suffer same lose but does liquid cow manure?
In UK all such liquid or slurry manures, regardles of scource has to be applied sub surface. Possibly beacuse a number of farmers fed up with Tourists blocking local lanes with parked cars have decided to dissuade them by by flinging or spraying manure close to the road side edges of the feilds. :-)
Historic fact, vaguley to do with the topic , and the English Civil War. Part of the reason old Charlie lost his head was Shit.

It became a matter of national discontent. History you couldn't make up.
I wanna see it completely empty
You and me both
@Liam Kenzo nice scam
That’s quite a neat setup. Would like to see the end result of pumping out the lagoon
Great video as always, seeing and learning new things that you dairy farmers have to deal with. So very hard working people!
Jan, your excellent choice of music always enhances the videos greatly!
Wow, you sure do know a whole lot about everything, to be so young! You could probably run that whole place by yourself with the knowledge and know-how that you possess! I bet your parents are very proud of you!!!
Once again an incredibly well put together video. The overhead shots are spectacular! Well done.
That is so awesome. Such big machinery. You should be a very proud young man to have such a great opportunity. Thanks for your time.

That pump is one big remote control toy. I was really looking forward to seeing this operation and I am impressed. Thanks Jan.
That lagoon crawler is awesome! I knew solids needed to be agitated but i didnt realize there were special equipment to do that job!
Beats a long handled shovel. Though who cleans the machine afterwards? The local Car Wash would definitley take you off the Christmas card list.
So glad your drone did not crash into the lagoon! Blessings!
Another interesting and informative video. Hope you got in that nap before you had to start hauling again! Thanks Jan.

Thats a serious mixer! Never seen one like that before i bet that thing works awesome!
The quality of the video are amazing as well as the drone shots.
WOW!! That's an amazing piece of equipment!!
Hope it doesn’t break down in the middle of the lagoon, that would be a trek I wouldn’t want to make. :)
same thought here!! lol
In that situation, they abandon the machinery and the insurance company declares it a total loss. 🤪
Thats the job that makes the country country. Lol. We (all the farms on our ridge) would clean out the barns and lots all at the same time in the fall. If anyone was traveling that 7 mile trek the perfume was at its best. Lol

A crust can form on the surface leading to anerobic decomposition, releasing very poisonus gases.

It’s because of a build up of methane and carbon dioxide I think. But not all manure lagoons in the UK are covered!

Your probably going to have to scrape it out. The SS Poo Poo will stir up alot. But sand is heavy and wont suspend for long.
Do the fields ever get too saturated with manure to put any more on them?
Yes. Especially not recommended on heavy clay soil after or just before heavy rain. The local watercourses really don't like it.
ahh...the romance of dairy farming. But seriously, my hat's off to you,,,,hard hard work.
If you get a sand system in to recycle that sand, it might also take care of the clay in the sand. That way you won’t have to deal with the compaction and panning on your bedding. I look forward to seeing your solution.
Have you thought about a system to separate the sand from the manure before it enters the lagoon and then reuse the sand for bedding once dry?
Bro how on earth do you have time to edit! Always so slick! And love the speed ramps whenever you throw them in 👍🏻
