What an extremely nice and hard working young man. His parents should be so proud of him. Hopefully he will be many years carrying on this dairy ......
Amazing how diverse and interesting farm work can be on any given day. I can see it really helps to have your dad around to lend his expertise and support for the many repair projects. Dutches was blending in with the baby calves in the background so well, that I almost missed seeing her doing her sniff inspection. I do miss the aroma of fresh cut haylage being harvested. I am sure you are mighty glad to have harvest almost complete. The new addition to the barn looks good. The snow will be here before any of us are ready. Thanks for sharing your day. And have a blessed weekend with your family!
Here in the Florida panhandle we don't have rocks in our soil like you do. But your soil is a lot better. Living so close to the Gulf coast our soil is very sandy.
Great awesome video Eric. Always well made , 5th cutting is very rare for us . Plus 5th cutting value in the plant is way low . We just don’t cut that late too hard on your fields cause the plants are storing energy and nutrients for winter
Another great video! Considering that you are watched world wide and are always adding viewers, a few suggestions that would help viewers understand the dairy industry and learn more about your family and operations: - a map that shows where your dairy is located. What towns are near your dairy? Is stores for parts, food, and health care nearby? Other industries in the area? - a brief history of your dairy. Why did you get into the dairy business? Describe your family: other brothers and sisters, etc. Are you married? Where do you live? Who else works on the dairy? Are you a partner with your dad or are you paid an hourly wage? Who does the budget and finances on your dairy? Do other members of your family work in other jobs not associated the dairy. - In today's world, what are the biggest challenges facing your business and how are you meeting these challenges? Who purchases your milk and what is it used for? Are there other income sources on the dairy (grain, hay, etc)? Just a few thoughts and areas that I have had questions about. A video about the history of your dairy and your family would be very informative. The other info could be added to other videos when a similar topic is being discussed. Thanks again and keep up the good work...
Good idea. Except the location. No need to attract predators and serial killers to the farm. Newer people might also want to read the description. Also it's not necessary to divulge such private details about their finances and families, apart from the info he has already provided. But he has mentioned his wife, 2 children, sisters and brother in passing. Curious people might just need to take time to watch the older videos. The idea of vlogs is not to lay out everything about one's personal life to the whole world but just to give a general overview of how things work.
I bought a battery powered Grease gun a couple months ago and I can't believe I waited so long, it's the simple pleasures lol Glad you guys had a good season, a couple other farm channels I watch (sonne farms) had a dryer year. Thank the lord for a good productive summer and thank you for taking us along with you!
Hey, Eric, you really outdid yourself with that shot showing the scraper going full blast from under the tractor! I'm sure your wife appreciated your originality too!!
A biogas plant to capture the methane gas from the cow dung would meet all your heating energy needs during the winter season. This would save you top $$
Farming simulator does have a way to get maintenance done instantly for a price for the equipment that needs it but when I watch videos like this I think it would be cool to have the actual maintenance as part of the game, since it is a real part of farming. I haven't done cattle or dairy farming yet in the game. The game is good for what it is and I understand that it doesn't make a huge amount of money so putting in extras is a bit more unrealistic.
My wife and I love your channel. We have went back to beginning and have watched all your videos. Put a Thumbs up on all of them and will do a comment time to time from now on.
👍👌❤🇨🇦, hey Eric, just add a small 2 inch length of thread pipe to the oil change filter area, this will require a cap, but will be long enough so you don't drain oil all over the tractor frame, less mess, love the videos
Another great video of learning! I admire your hard work and dedication! I know your Dad appreciates it and he’s raised you right! Crazy to find cold Coca-Colas in the field!?! Also, loved seeing the pup drinking the warm bucket water and checking out the new born!
You were super lucky that you spotted that ice cold Coca-Cola Classic plant before you ran it over. Could have been really messy, and may have caused you to be just a tad thirsty for a while.
You need a Coca Cola Sponsor or a Pepsi Co sponsor. I remember the first time you did that in one of your first videos on the channel. Keep up the Great Work!
Their Lely alley cleaning robots, which Eric said needed some attention, seem to me to be a great help with 🐄💩🐄💩🐄💩 cleanup in certain areas of their barns, but robots are now pretty much everywhere where repetitive tasks( not anomalies) lead to more productivity ( excepting anomalies) and it's getting the public and their lawyers to accept those anomalies for pennies, instead of real money, when they occur, that is what is being "meatiated" 👀😉😉😳...just sayin'...
just wondering how the new seeding alfalfa did in the spring , the seeding with the esch drill in 5.5 inch spacing n what are your thoughts on narrower seeding . if u already mentioned it I missed it haha
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 auhh, after how many working hours do you do an oil change service, and has a general engine been done before, because it's a really tough job, and it has 18k hours
He probably gets offers but certain ads just wouldn’t seem genuine or relevant to farming/vlogging. I like that Eric keeps the channel simple. The ads for equipment tryouts etc. make the most sense so they never seem phoney.
@@scottgriffith742 To say the least, I think they had just invented the skid loader the year I started working on a dairy farm. We used a 530 case with a front loader bucket and half the yard was on an incline and the tractor had issues with getting traction to get to the spreader to unload. I think that`s where they got the old saying it`s raining cat`s and dogs.
Getting a lot closer to that hard cold season, good to get those warmer weather projects done. The new barn addition is getting closer to completion, I think you'll be real pleased with it. Enjoyed watching thanks for the video, have a wonderful weekend!
Great video Eric. It's always funny how you find the cold sodas and milk just laying around. They need to sponsor you. I like how tall gave different people come in and do certion things on the farm. Saves y'all a lot of money on equipment. Keep up the great job. Y'all stay safe and be careful. God bless y'all.
Dairy farmers hours, such as 10th gens, Pennsylvania Dairyman, Acres of Clay Homestead dairy, Hauswald Farms, ...tend to be even longer....just sayin'...
