Thank you so much Erin for posting these videos. Harvest time is so crazy busy for farmers and it is really good to show people just how much work goes into bringing crops to market. It doesn't just magically appear. Please continue posting content.
I am always amazed that engines can function in that much dust and of course the filters get VERY dirty quickly. A climate controlled cab is a true luxury, not like it was in the '50s when I was a kid on the farm driving tractors.
Hello from New Zealand Erin. As one of three US farming families I follow a quick thank you for sharing your lives with us. Your video efforts are appreciated especially during busy harvest time. You're doing a great job.
God bless the American Farmer. Praying for you guys., 🙏 Hope your harvest is fruitful. Thanks for all your handwork and devotion. Love the insight into your world.
Good Sunday morning. Excellent video with superlative production values. - so inspirational, motivating and heartfelt. But of course, that's to be expected from a strong self sufficient woman such as yourself. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and garden and stockpiling items long term for the whole family s what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of technology both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone. Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, I had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for the family and I.
Yes, thanks for the videos! My YT notifications never seem to work right, so I don't always see them when they come out, but they are always a high point of my viewing. Something good in the energy you and your family and the work put out. I've encountered the laundry detergent issue before, never fun! Before "free and clear" products got more common, I had to use Dawn, which of course isn't formulated for suds-free use, haha. May God's blessings always find you and yours : )
😂 I would definitely have to give your dad the nick name “Pepe” from the cartoon Pepe Le Pew for the rest of harvest. His CB handle, his name in your phone contact, maybe even a sign on the door of his office lol.
Was in your neck of the woods,yesterday. My wife and I went from Cayuga down to Montezuma. We definitely didn’t want to travel US 36 from the east. I never realized the Wabash- Erie Canal went all the way to Evansville. The Dana area is definitely the beginning of the prairie ground,west of Indianapolis. Awesome farm ground for sure! We took the back roads home,to Roachdale IN. Indiana is so beautiful in the fall. I enjoy seeing a young lady involved in the farm.
Glad to see harvest moving along. Watching your family farm in action is always a pleasure. On a lighter note, I'm glad I'm not getting the load of skunk corn. That smell would linger well into winter.
Thanks for the video. Cute puppies. Glad harvest is going good for y’all. Hope you all getting the yields y’all were hoping for. A skunk!!!!! I was laughing with ya, not at you. Feel sorry for dad! Oh gezzzz. I don’t see how he kept going after that. Good luck with rest of y’all’s harvest. Wish ya the best. Take care Be safe
We're finally getting rain here in New England after a dry summer. Hadn't mowed my lawn all summer. Hope you have a good harvest this year. The puppies are so cute 👍. Thank you for your hard work.
Tk u for all the hard work u & ur family do to keep the rest of us fed! Congrats to ur sister on her upcoming nuptials. And the skunk....I know it's not funny....but w/ my 12 yo sense of humor....it is!
Thanks Erin for posting, I always enjoy your harvest videos. Maybe it seems a bit mundane sometimes to you, but I think your operation runs pretty smoothly. Wishing you a great week ahead and be careful and stay safe 💖🙏
Got to admit, this channel will help center you. Especially during harvest. I drive trough this area(and a lot of farm land across the nation)3 times a year or more and always wanted a better look/perspective.
You don't stop do ya? If you get free time u fill it 😄. Mind you time flying when your busy and having fun. Cracking work on all the video editing its not easy iv just started and have a new appreciation for all the youtube folk out there. All the best. Stay safe 🏴
How are you doing Erin with all of your allergies, hope everything is going well for you and all of your family and the workers; hope you have a great day!
Great combining video, compiling a week together makes a lot of sense, rather than drawing a day out with little content, like the background music too.
Great viedeo Erin, I really enjoy harvest videos and fall weather. I'm glad to hear you're about half done and I ope the skunk odor cleared up! Good luck with the rest of harvest!!
Hi Erin. I'm sure the skunk odor cleared your Dad's sinuses! You might smell the odor every time it's damp or wet outside. The puppies are very cute. Hope the rest of your harvest goes well. Greetings from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😊
You are fun to watch. The whole team is. When I was younger, I was a policeman. In Summer, I'd take vacation time to do wheat harvest for a Sheriff in an adjoining county. It was hot, dusty, nasty, no air conditioning, and I was worn slick. I would not have traded it for anything in the world.
I'm new here Erin. I'm finding that you are quite the woman what with the hard work, the knowledge as well as good looks. I'm looking forward to more. Be safe!
Boy, I can really sympathize with your dad and "I stink!". My dad and I hit a skunk in the middle of a snow storm. It was so bad your eyes would water uncontrollably. Due to the ongoing snowstorm and the need for heat, we couldn't turn off the heater/defroster.
Happy to have you back. Glad harvest is going well. Here in Wyoming, Barley has been in harvested, not working on sugar Beets. Northern Beans will be next.
Erin that was fantastic loved it thank you for sharing and your time was really great never miss a video thank you I could only think how bad the smell was I have been sprayed so I no.
Oil gets out oil and skunk musk is oil. Your best friend or your Dads is olive oil and put in a desired essential oil. Then wash whatever body part is skunk sprayed with that mixture. Run some oil through that combine too. Lol! Then usual farm wash should do.
Lol we got all that rain here in Maine on Friday. I spent the day hauling rap (recycled crushed asphalt) from Hermon to Dover-Foxcroft. There were times I could barely see it was coming down so hard
Another great video Erin! Hope harvest continues to be good. The puppies are cute and growing. Skunks are no fun!!!I was shocked when I saw the pic on this video, thought you had taken up smoking. Looks just like a cigarette hanging from your lips.😅😂🤣
Erin, thanks for your family's hard work. God Bless the American farmer.
I’m learning allot about a typical farmers day during harvesting. I love farmers, they keep me alive with food.
This channel with the corn and soybean fields along with the music is quite relaxing to watch.
Thank you so much Erin for posting these videos. Harvest time is so crazy busy for farmers and it is really good to show people just how much work goes into bringing crops to market. It doesn't just magically appear. Please continue posting content.
Allways a pleasure to see Erin having fun in the tractor and stuff
The work never ends on the farm.
A thanks to you and all the American farmers, God Bless you all.
That was funny 😂 I wonder how many people know who Red Green is?
God bless you and your family.
Thanks again for the updates. Be safe and be well.
Great job driving the tractor and grain cart Erin
I am always amazed that engines can function in that much dust and of course the filters get VERY dirty quickly. A climate controlled cab is a true luxury, not like it was in the '50s when I was a kid on the farm driving tractors.
Love your channel, we can never forget three times every day we need a farmer!!
It’s great to see back on board making great videos!!! Thanks

Love your work ethic, family loyalty, your smile, attitude, PTL for farmers and familys! Nice music touch too..
Thank you, nice to see you are doing on the field

So yeah. 👍 Great job everyone. Peace be with you.

Thank you so much showing all the fun that you do on the farm and I know you do work Very Hard have a good day see you soon
You are fun to watch. The whole team is. When I was younger, I was a policeman. In Summer, I'd take vacation time to do wheat harvest for a Sheriff in an adjoining county. It was hot, dusty, nasty, no air conditioning, and I was worn slick. I would not have traded it for anything in the world.
Love your videos Erin. So proud of you keeping up with the family tradition . Stay strong and keep posting. ❤
You are a good worker...and a Cutie to boot. Go Girl. Good video.
Good luck combining your 2022 crops Holbert Farms

Happy your week worked out. No moisture here in Southern Alberta. Warmer than usual temperatures here. Harvest 2022 in already, mostly me thinks. Dry
Harvest Blessings

Lookin' Good Erin♥. Hope your yield was high. Great weather for combining. Nice puppies. Not so great a party. Yeh!
Nice Red Green reference !!!
Another great vid! Have fun and be safe
Wow, that shop looks so big when it is nearly empty.
Oil gets out oil and skunk musk is oil. Your best friend or your Dads is olive oil and put in a desired essential oil. Then wash whatever body part is skunk sprayed with that mixture. Run some oil through that combine too. Lol! Then usual farm wash should do.
