Looking forward to seeing some of the larson farm history🤟 🇮🇪
how large was pig production?
As a recovering hog farmer this brings back PTSD. Enjoyed the tour. Would love to have a history of the farm. Enjoy everyone’s content But especially DougO’s historical viewpoint!
Amen brother! 24/7, grinding feed in all kinds of weather. Pumping shit every 3 months. Never a break. Now I’m a lazy ass grain farmer!
@@Grainexpress Ahh to be a grain farmer. I am still milking 140 cows. Someday to retire to only grain farming! I will have made it to the promised land!
@@brucevanderveen4472 don't let the government to force you into retirement!
I'd like to hear Grampa sharing farm stories. I know he doesn't like being filmed, but could you have him sit to one side off camera and you can chat with him? Thanks again for sharing everything you do on the farm.
Haha I was thinking the same thing
Id like to hear that as well, maybe he would do a Q&A with chet answering questions and telling some stories for a special epsidode.
@George Jones you need to calm down, we are not demanding anything its suggestions and beside Chet has explained he doesn't mind sometimes being on camera just not often.
Tours with Dougo are always a good time!
Hi Guy"s!
Herding cats, RAISING and herding hog's, keeping goats out of the orchard.............NOT PLEASANT MEMORIES!!!!
Hog's were my FFA project! I have NEVER owned a goat or hog since high school, and I will be 82 in a few short months!
I defended you guy's the other day when someone said.... "THOSE guy's are not fit to eat with the hog's!!!... What a cruel thing to say!!
We all think you guy's are fit to eat with the hog's!!!
Love the VIDEO'S, and look for them every day!
BEST WISHES, AND GOD BLESS OUR FARMERS!
Gary
Father and Son, always a great combo to watch.
Thanks for the tour. I always enjoy Dougo. My dad passed away almost 3 years ago so seeing you and your dad together brings me happiness and memories.
Back in the day we raised around 500 head of feeder pigs outdoors with AFrame barns all year round. Keeping the waterer's running in the winter was a full time job 24 hours a day.
Story time with doug is priceless lol 😂. Great video!!!
I worked at a hog operation for a couple years... that brings back some memories.
I worked all the barns... breeder barn, dry sow barn, farrowing barns, weener barn, grower barn, finish barns...
Lots of maintenance and cleaning that's for sure
And moving them was a nightmare
It’s historical Larson wood! It’s priceless!
Guys thanks for sharing this part of your life. Field in Michigan
You guys make a great comedy team! I grew up on a combination farm in Central Indiana. Corn, Beans, Wheat, Cattle, and hogs. We maintained a 300 sow herd, farrow to finish. I recall all the joys? of raising hogs, and your buildings are very familiar looking. I always hated overnight duty in the farrowing barn. Sow would drop a 14-pig litter at 1AM and by sunrise she would have 6 left. Dad always reminded me that we did not get paid on the number of pigs a sow birthed, but on the ones we raised. We paid for quite a few additional crop acres by raising hogs. Thanks for the memories! As Dougo would say, "For those of you who know......."
I love listening to Dougo!!
I'm sure Doug would agree that hogs are as smart as they want to be. Escape artist and crowd control damage abounds with hogs and cattle. A trip down memory lane here too. Good video guys. Bless you guys
i'm thinkin' Dougo does not miss pig farming 🤣!!!!!!
I enjoy all your videos but this one sure brought back the memories. I retired in 1998 after 38 years of hog farming at Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. Your old barns sure look like the ones I worked with. Keep up the great videos. Very informative, interesting and entertaining. Thanks again.
Enjoyed the tour! The hog barn would make a great place for a horror movie.
Thanks guys. That was great.ove hearing about the history of the farm.
Great family history. Great father and son interaction! Great to see Toby running around with you.
Great video. No doubt enjoy father and son and memories! Thanks to you both, so much.
awesome video Chet and Mr. D. Thank you so much for the tour of the farm.
I’ve got old barns with all the same old crap that ain’t worth a damn but yet still isn’t close to having paid for itself. I’m glad to discover I wasn’t the only one to suffer through the hog downturn of all downturns although I don’t wish it on anyone.
Another great video, i like old things and history of what use to be a busy thing. Thanks for sharing
Thank you both for the tour of all hog buildings. I was hoping Toby wouldn't get left behind. He might need a bath now! Ha'
Loved hearing about some of the history of your farm!! It's always awesome to hear stories from Dougo, too. Great video!
Thanks for taking the time in showing us the hog barns. Alot of memories.
Love these walk thru farm history video's Brings back memories of exploring my grandfathers farm as a child.
love hearing the history of the farm plus any video with you and your Dad is great because you two are funny together
Hey thanks for sharing some history of your farm always enjoy your videos 👍 cannot wait when planning season starts to get see more videos every week hope you can put more videos out per week !!! 🤠
Very interesting glad to learn more of your family farm history
Great video thanks for all the hard work getting videos to us
Thank you for finally doing this!
Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos you put out thanks for sharing.
Yea you two are fun to watch good content thanks for walking us around the old barns looks like future projects for equipment
*That was a blast through the past. More history on the farm please.*
That was a fun tour. Always interesting to see "retooling" to something new. I'm so glad that your new farming adventure (not so new anymore) is doing well.
Boy that brought back memories. I myself had a small hog operation. Had a 8 pin farrowing barn. Had a 21 sow operation. Mad good money when I was 14. That was a good tour of your operation thank you for that. Stay safe
Thanks for the tour. Often wondered what it is like in those buildings.
Doug thanks for the memories
Boy Dougo has brought back some interesting memories. Had two hog farms of my own in the 90's. Plus, my dad and brother had two hog farms along with a large cattle operation. Thanks for showing this part of your farm operation.
I grew up in Elk River Minnesota. And I remember the Metrodome. That was funny when you said that. Sometimes you couldn’t get the door open and then there would be other doors that would literally push you out.
Yes!
Doug you sir are a man with a lot of knowledge-would really like to hear more about your past farming experiences-thank you!
Thanks for the tour of the hog barn! It brought back memories!! Not all good but I enjoyed it anyway so please keep them coming!!
Great video, brought back a lot of memories. My dad got out of hogs when I was 13ish as well.
Thanks for the tour Chet and Dougo!
Thanks for tour, enjoyed. 👍
Boy that brought back a lot of memories! None are real great but still memories lol, thanks for the tour in our area most of the older buildings are long gone and buried but more hogs in the area do to new quad buildings that have been built
I used to build all of that in the 80's. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the Tour. Bought back memory's, I really didn't miss from my hog days.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou for sharing some history of the farm with us, god bless
Big fan from Australia
Dougo and Chet, many thanks for the tour. So enjoyed looking thru the old hog barns.
Dougo I sincerely appreciate your memories of raising hogs. On our farm we had few cattle and good sized sheep herd. BUT just down the road from us was a big hog raiser with all the barns. So I was pushed into helping the neighbor until we got onto for grain work. Dougo , all kinds of memories seeing your hog barns. Chet you are right, it was a lot and I mean a lot of hard work. Wow. My hat is off to any hog raiser, you work hard for your hog operation.
Hopefully you can find some folks that will want some of the items left in the houses. Lumber is high priced right now. You might get someone that would tear it down for the lumber.
Love hearing Dougo talk about memories of the old days. So interesting to hear. Thanks Dougo and Chet.
Old bicycles are worth a few dollars now days. Some nice bikes there.
About it for now. Again, thanks for the tour. Was interesting and brought back memories working with hogs.
You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything you two. Glad to hear the dad/son interchange when talking about the future. Neat.
Bye for now.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
Chet and Dougo that was great recap on the old days Larson farms had a lot of hogs lot of barns pipe siding wire and concrete great video chet you have come a long way baby to get where you are now and a lot of struggles through it now look at you still a farmer and proud of it like me.
Great video. Thanks for showing us around
Awesome to see. I just put up my first contract finisher last summer and filled it the week before Christmas! Dougo is exactly right on his description of moving pigs. 😂
My last hogs left in 91. Free stall pens and also crates. Pitchfork cleaning 2X per week. Hand fed and watering from bucket. So happy those days are behind. Your walk through was spot on.
It was interesting seeing what the Larson's used to do. Bet that was a real chore taking care of all those pigs. Lots of hard work! Chet talked about cutting the galvanized steel and getting sick. Reminded me when I was about 12, helping my oldest brother cut-up some galvanized pipe for scrap. He told me that you could get sick from breathing the fumes from that. I think it was zinc poisoning. Guess what? I inhaled too much and I was sick! Just like Chet. But, when he mentioned about being 12 yo, and that happening to him. The first thing I thought was, I would love to have seen Chet at that age. I bet he was cute as a bug in a rug! Best to your family in all you do, and thanks for what you are doing. God Bless!
Indeed as a bug 💚
Thank you for the tour!! That was fun to watch! Keep up the great videos. My grand kids love to watch them with me!! We look forward to each and everyone of them!
Wonderful!
Nice setup. I can remember my first job was farrow to finish so I was in Jr high school and would get paid $2.00 hr. But then also had our own farm since I was a baby lol. Good memories ☺️
Nice info - ty ty - have a great week !!
Nice to see your history of the farm chet and dougo.....
Cool video guy's. Loved it !
Love the history of the farm and tour of the hog facilities. Brings back a lot of memories for me too. Need to get Merlin on the camera for some more history of the farm! Keep up the good work!
I could see those feeders in your yard with flowers planted in them! You could reflect on Swinepalooza when you passed them! 😉
Enjoyed the tour!
Enjoyed the video with you and your Dad. It’s always interesting and sometimes hilarious with you guys. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍❤️
Hello from the Netherlands, nice to see the tour in the pig barns. I see your videos often but this one is very recognizable. we stopped keeping sows around the same time to focus on dairy cows and sugar beets, potatoes and wheat. one barn is still in the same condition as yours haha. the other two have been demolished for a new cow barn and potato storage. Good luck with your farm and all the best to you all! greetings from the Netherlands
That was cool Dougo and Chet thanks we used to have a huge open pig farm by our farm in Oklahoma you could smell those things for miles I'm sure during that time they had no regulations on raising them
Great video Chet 🇺🇲 I really enjoyed the history of the farm
Memories! I worked on a small Mom &
Pop farrow to finish operation, they grew their own corn and ground their own feed, back in the late 80’s. Several other family hog operators around also. Now it’s all big cooperations with huge finishing barns where the feed is trucked in.
Chet & Dougo, such legends. Extra happy since this video reminds me of the "Destruction At It’s Finest!!" one that generated the "one dollar late, a day short" quote 😁 Love from Sweden!
TY for a very interesting tour. My grandparents had pigs but the year I was born was the last year they raised them!! Love all your videos!! Dougo, you're a hoot!
I grew up on a hog farm in northeast Missouri, your operation looks a whole lot more efficient than ours. I don't miss those days much. But appreciate the lessons learned.
Dougo reminiscing is awesome. A lot of hard work to get to where yall are now. Great video
We had pigs in the 70's and 80's. You are Dougo brought back a lot of memories with that tour. Thank you.
Thank you for the nice tour! Since i`ve been watching you, i was wondering how it looks insinde these buildings.
thx for your kind words about the livestock segment of our industry!
Crazy Days !!! I haven't heard that since I was a kid and stayed on the farm in Thief River Falls.
Doug we do care. Fascinating stuff thank you!
Old calendar is better than notches on the bed post. lol Thanks for the tour.
My grandma and grandpa had some pigs but I was to little to remember much about them. I always enjoy watching your videos!
Love y’all’s videos. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for the tour and you guys were hilarious to watch great video!
Been there done that chet ,with the cutting galvanized metal with a torch ! You will only do it once if you live through it some rough stuff for sure! 🥶. Great looking chopper bike Dougo ! Thanks for the tour ! 🇺🇸✅

Very interesting gentlemen! Thank you!
Thanks for the tour!
We all love the dougo story’s. Maybe a Q&A with dougo and Randy.
Man that brought back some memories growing up on a hog farm plus we had cattle but we had hog houses and in the 90s when it crashed when hogs went down we got out of it and just started raising more cattle but when we took down the hall houses we had the EPA out there and it was a nightmare but I'll tell you what I sure know don't miss that smell my truck smells like it man you couldn't get away that smell of being in the hog houses
Another entertaining video from the Larson crew. I enjoyed watching the two of you reminisce about the hog barns; fun memories.

They are one of the best concerts, you can not go but just seeing them from the screen, I know it was surprising
💗❤️💌💘2
We milked 300+ head 2 times a day.. all my life until I was 18, Tuff life. Caves heifers, cows, pig's and silage.. lots of it. I give props to anyone that still does it.. we need all are farmer's 🇺🇸👍
Buncha great folks
That was a fun walk down memory lane!
Used to work on a feed to finish farm while in high school. Used to store high moisture corn in a Harvestore silo. Lots of trips to the stockyards, those were the days
Love the vids keep it up! Good channel to watch the vids just to pass time! They are really funny. If your having a bad day watch Larson farms they will put a smile on your face!
great video and tour😊😊😊😊😊😊
The most valuable thing left in those hog barns are probably the vintage bicycles. 😁🚲🚲🚲🚲
All good memories of fixing the chopper with the banana seat with my children.
You guys make a great comedy team
