Thanks for the great drone footage of the beet dump! Nice looking poults your raising , you answered your pigeon problems is to seal up the door gaps where there coming in,👍👋
Mitch, the two of you are absolutely adorable. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I have missed your videos. I was just wondering what was going on for you yesterday. Hope all is well. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the video, I found the beet segment very interesting, did not know the operation was still going on. I would like to see more of your day to day operation... always enjoy your presentation. Thanks.
Here it is May 7th & we still aren't in the field yet. I'm south of Fergus Falls MN & they are just a couple guys going on some sandy ground. It is still wet in the fields here with more rain coming in the next couple of days. One of our neighbors buried his tractor picking rocks. He had to get a backhoe out there to help dig it out. I don't know when we will get in the field here if we get a bunch of rain now. Good luck with spring field work & I hope the flooding didn't get to bad.
Yep like some of the others said. Get the gun and feed to cat’s. Redo the barn Mitch, nice to see old barns kept up on a farm nowadays. Awesome footage of the beet pile. Good vids bud
In my younger years, we had chickens one time on the farm in an old barn. It was my chore to feed them. My dad checked in to see how they were doing. First question was, where are all the chickens? I guess a critter had been sneaking in and getting a free meal. We then butchered them on the farm. That was a wild time. Whole new story.
pigeon problem? basketball hoop, or( build one) welded to a long light weight pole. secure a potatoe sack to it, @ night shine a light in their eyes, knock them into the potatoe sack with a stick, clean and cook, or add to freezer, pigeons on the far eat mostly bugs and grain, makes for an awsome meal.
I hauled many loads out of that pile this winter. I looked at that 8400T sitting at John Deere every time I rolled through town haha. It's been there forever, I wonder if there's a reason to be afraid of it.
At our church we used a substance called Hot Foot I believe. it was a stick substance we put whe the like to nest or roost like those beams they don't like it on their feet.
small wire mesh that can be cancut to a shape that is useful be used to solve just grab a board and drill some screws through it to pin it in place quick. Works on doors
i’m a Florida native so I have to think both of you are nuts for choosing to live somewhere where it’s cold at least nine months out of the year. I love beets so I probably eaten some of yours. Great video
Something I use to keep pigeons and other birds out the barn is fishline the birds can see the movement but not the actual line. Tie it to your rafters and let dangle a 2-4-foot piece this should drive the out of the building.
If someone can flush the pigeons out one at a time, a full 12 gauge can take care of your problem quick! If they roost in there at night, a few pumps on a BB gun should do the trick.
Actually those look like wild pigeons? they eat grain from the area. you know that, So yeah pigeons a good meal. You should hunt in our local fields. But they're gone now.
During the depression raising pigeon for meat helped save many lives. I say hunt them, eat them, and perhaps the survivors will learn to stay out of the barn... haha..
A 12 Gauge shotgun with #6 shot shells will solve your pigeon problem. If you drop one and it's still alive, you can step on their head with your Sunday dress shoes...which will solve the issue! You're welcome!
I understand you're a farmer not a TH-camr movie maker . so I mean it in no offense. Can you start volume equalizing your videos plzzzz...... when you talk you're on a volume 4 and then you start playing music at a Volume 25! 👂 so I have to either have my hand on the remote if watching on TV. and definitely hope I'm not wearing earpods if on my phone . Just kind of keeps me away from your videos . Witch I have enjoyed and just watched from the background. But today you about poped my eardrum bro . At 4:58 👂 🙉
I grew up in EGF, and watch a lot of farming channels, but its nice to find one from around home.
Great footage of the beet “dump”!
Awesome drone footage
Great video Mitch

Looked like the Grafton pile site! I hauled beets for 9 winters, after I retired, bored so I got another job ! Lol
😉👍
Thanks for the video, I found the beet segment very interesting, did not know the operation was still going on. I would like to see more of your day to day operation... always enjoy your presentation. Thanks.
Good to see you both. We pray you will have a safe planting season.
I had no idea that's how sugar beats were kept for the winter very interesting!
Ha, caught me in the loader! Nice view of the load out process!

good looking barn, a keeper
Great Video, New Sub here, I loved the beet heap footage, interesting that storage is food for human consumption! thanks for sharing
Thank you for putting together a enjoyable video, Your content and video quality is great.
Great to see you both back. Love the videos. Hope to see more soon. Have a safety conscious spring/rush season. Take care of one another. 🙂
Pigeon: pellet gun or large hungry cat
Yes, absolutely.
Air rifle. Humane, quick, cheap, no damage to the barn, no stress for the chickens.
Pigeons are tough, better be a head shot.
@@blauer2551 Personally I used a large yellow cat with a 6 foot vertical jump, self feeding and the pigeons are scarce.
@@mikewood3203 Nothing beats a stealth barn cat, but a pellet gun is more fun. Wonder if .22 shotshells would work.
Yep like some of the others said. Get the gun and feed to cat’s. Redo the barn Mitch, nice to see old barns kept up on a farm nowadays. Awesome footage of the beet pile. Good vids bud
Great to see ya back. Looks like your sidekick isnt afraid to work hard. stay safe.

Praying the flooding doesn’t effect you much. Love seeing your videos would like to see a equipment tour video of all your equipment.
Great video!!
Put some paint on that barn before you loose it. Also replace some boards to keep the pigeons out, it wouldn’t take much
It is perfectly acceptable for a lady to carry a 50 pound bag of chicken feed, but never two bags of groceries.
To get rid of pigeions you need to have a friendly bird of Prey. So put up a box for a hawk.

Wish you would make a video on where and how they unload those trucks
Great idea Donald!
I know this is an older video. But I've had good luck with 22 shot shell rounds. They don't pierce the steel in our barns.

@@eddyperry no shit they say it right in the video. did you arrive at that conclusion on your own or did you also hear what they said? You’re petty
@@eddyperry you don't do snark very well. get some practice and come back and see me.
That is amazing.
Very informative and interesting. Are you close to Grafton?
Your barn appears to have good bones, side it and roof it with metal should last a good deal longer!
Something I use to keep pigeons and other birds out the barn is fishline the birds can see the movement but not the actual line. Tie it to your rafters and let dangle a 2-4-foot piece this should drive the out of the building.
Now that's a serious pile of sugar wow never would of thought this was how thy dealt with them but America uses tons of sugar for every thing
Czemu buraki są magazynowane i zamrażane a nie od razu przerabiane? Co jeśli nie będzie mrozu?

is that the one by grafton?
I would attempt to identify the type wood on barn. Maybe American Chestnut.
12 gage with bird shot for your "rats with wings" problem.
How far are you from Piet VanBedarf the ND Dairy Farmer?
were i com from they dont take frozen beat to make sugar ok you make alcohol ??????
Is this pile on nd 17?
Put out owls over the doors or Hawks over the doors.
Actually those look like wild pigeons? they eat grain from the area. you know that, So yeah pigeons a good meal. You should hunt in our local fields. But they're gone now.
how's the water on ur side of river.
Not great, but it’s gone down a lot now.
pigeons may be entering through those vents like above the door? bb guns work well, little flying rats.
Screen the window for the pigeons and keep all the doors closed
A owl will scare the pigeon away they sell blastic owls at co-op and such
Anyone know why barns were red?.....they use to make paint by mixing skim milk and zinc..which made a red paint. It was cheep and available
Get a tape with hawk sounds and play it occasionally !
That will scare the chickens sh!tless
Pellet feed the pigeons with a pellet gun.😜😜😜
Interesting: Lets just say, please don't keep us waiting to explain the flood cliff hanger many days.
Roast pigeon is the solution to your pigeon problem they will be tasty after eating your chicken feed. 😆
why??
The hog feeder should have a few oinkers too:)
Hahahah I’m glad you saw that.
During the depression raising pigeon for meat helped save many lives. I say hunt them, eat them, and perhaps the survivors will learn to stay out of the barn... haha..
Eat the pigeons

You're welcome!
you kill one pigeon and hang it in the shed and then the other pigeons get scared and go away
catch the pigeons at night
12 ga.
A 410 shot guy Ora .22 will soon clean those pigeons up….or poison grain. They are the rats of the sky and make a terrible mess.
.410 shotgun
