    Sorry I did not get any footage of the vertical tillage being done. We will be doing more of that later this spring and I'll try to film it then, thanks!

    Spoken like a true gentleman. I have enjoyed your videos, and if it's only 1 a month or every 2 months I would look forward to them regardless. You are a inspiration on how to live a clean healthy life. Please let me know how I can get surprises in my feed or planting sacks. Thanks for the Vids

    The key to life I add to enjoy doing these types of hobbies. Dont feel pressure to produce - they'll lose their down home appeal. God bless you, Eric

    I love that you have your priorities in order. Praise be to God! So proud that you realize you should make videos because you WANT to. You are so busy, I feel honored if you did one video a month! Bless you and your family and always keep your love for your job.

    Thank you for making as many videos you have I know it takes countless hours to keep a beautiful family farm going so I’ll take what ever or how ever many videos you want to make I’ve said it for 20 years that i wish I could have grown up on a farm god bless and stay safe

    Just got back from a family vacation and it was cool driving through farm country here in California and being able to tell my kids what everything we saw was because of these videos! I will still watch all your videos even if there are less of them! Thanks.

  • @virginiaoflaherty2983
    @virginiaoflaherty2983 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think that you have met all your goals for making these videos. Showing the general public what farmers do on a daily basis is a real eye-opener. Great respect for what you do, daily. I worked on a farm for 2 years. I have more good memories from that experience than any other thing I have ever done. I am glad that you are scaling back. Reading comments it seemed that some of your viewers were pressuring for you to reveal more and more of your private life. That really bothered me. The work you show is plenty enough. Thanks for allowing us to learn what it is to be a dairy farmer.

  • @ronhanson9581

    @dalet6250 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    And less than four months later you're at almost 57k subs. That's what keeping priorities straight will do. You plant the seed and God gives the increase. Love your videos, they take me back to my youth on our family dairy farm. The technology was 40 years ago but still a lot is the same. I didn't stay on the farm and it's out of the family now which is sad, but God has been good in so many other things.

    Eric, loved your comments about the importance of living your life centered in Christ. Very well said! And I totally agree with you scaling back on your videos. Doing it too much would take all the fun out of it. We totally understand. Thanks again for the nice clean honest approach with all our video work. You do an awesome job!!

    I have been binge watching your videos for the last few days after they popped up.on my recommendations. I knew there was something special about you with how hard you work and the humbleness in which you do and and your little message in this video is confirmation of what I was expecting. Good bless you brother. Also remember Mathew 5:16. Your work is a great witness

    @margaretjones5572 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well sir...your straight forward calm presentation of the real agricultural experience will be sorely missed! But most certainly there are FAR more important things in life! THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking us along on your daily chores and truely this series is an excellent teaching resource for 'how to farm responsibly and modestly'.
    From one VERY grateful observer who also puts glorifying God first in all life's pursuits.
    PS. My Dad's favourite was Pepsi. We found cans in the rock piles, in the hay loft rafters, in the rails of the fence rows, in ALL the drive equipment tool boxes, the well casement...

    @danodd8999 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    As someone who did not grow up around a farm I really appreciate the insight your videos give to the thought and effort that goes into farming. Your videos are nicely edited to both tell a story and give a sense of being there. I imagine it is time consuming. Certainly balancing your time between faith, work, making videos and any other worthwhile endeavor isn't something you need to apologize to TH-cam for. Seems to me you have a good plan. Thanks for the video.

  • @keithkuckler2551
    @keithkuckler2551 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I always used a nurse crop for my alfalfa. Like you, i would follow a couple of years of corn, with a year of soybeans, and, then back into hay ground. i used either oats or spring wheat for the nurse crop. I had some horses, so i liked having the oats, but, i found that the wheat was better, it was a lot shorter, and, allowed an earlier start for the alfalfa. I also liked the wheat straw for bedding. Nice to see some smaller farms.

    I found your channel few days ago. This planting video is awesome. I listened to your speech, your explanation of your motivation. Do what you can, when you can. I watch your channel and how you work... great stuff. I watched through several of your productions this evening while I was mending my blacksmithing gear and sewing suspender buttons on some new jeans. I have internet at the house (no dish TV) and watch utube and whatever else may be on. Your productions remind me of some of the things I did when I was younger and whish I had done more of... or got more serious about. I recon the mountain dew is only included in commercially produced alfalfa seed bags. (LOL) My dad did his own alfalfa seed by taping all the openings in his alis chalmers 5 foot all-crop ,,into some over ripe alfalfa, He planted with an Ontario Grain drill and a 5 foot seed box on the front... he used to tell that story everytime I would look for an alis chamers "30" to use as a hobby, I gave up looking for a "30", we all have other things for our time,, ….keep up the good work, and May God Bless.
