Growing up in WI in the 60s and 70s, before leaving in 1990 to work and farm in another state, all these videos take me back. Thanks for another good video
I hate to admit that I am old enough to recognize the transition in ag. There isn’t any farm ground around my part of the world anymore, but we still have rattlesnakes down here in NW Oklahoma. Great video. Keep’em coming.
I love these stories, and one thing I’m always reminded of is how glad I am that I set the business end of my farm up so that perishable shares can be earned, and lost, based on the value they bring to the operation. No flat out inheritance, nobody having to buy out entitled non contributors.
Thanks Ryan, another good one. Along with all the other obligations farmers have, coexisting with wildlife is another one. I like to see them around, on my farm. They’re just trying to make a go of it, like you and I!
You'll hit the nail on the head about kids. I didn't realize it at the time about how much they learned on the farm Untill i got a message from my daughters plant manager thanking me for raising such a well rounded,capable, person. She in her own right earned that MA Chm E degree. But learned to always give a hand with a good attitude, and tackle any task no mater how big from me and my wife.
Thanks for an interesting and enjoyable video Ryan. This gentleman you interviewed was most interesting. He strikes me as a real good farmer, hard working, did a lot of the work himself and just was fairly quiet about his work and just simply did his thing. Didn’t need a bunch of fancy expensive machinery, got by with what he had. Ryan, if I didn’t tell it right, feel free to correct me!!!!!!!! He appears to have a good dairy operation and cash crop operation. Good interview Ryan. Lots of good subjects and good old farming discussions. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks. The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊👍✅🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have been retired for years but if I was still farming I know it would be a real problem getting todays kid to help most of them don't know what hard work is.
Another great video my first tractor was a 1206 got it in 1983 ,they were a horse. If I was having a bad day farming in the 80's it always helped to go run the 12 -O for a while .Got me another one and restored it with my son a couple years before he went to college .You can see a1206 from 1/4 mile away and you know just what it is just by the color scheme
Good to see Pete on one of these videos I talked to one of his neighbors every day for 4 years. so seeing this kind of reminds me of talking to him I know an awful lot about what went on in that area in the past. go do an interview with Carl if you can get him to sit still long enough I'm sure he has quite a few stories to tell. I know Pete's dad from what I've seen and what I've heard from others about him was he was somebody that can make any workaholics seem very lazy he definitely knew how to work and do a very good job. I hope you keep up this line of stories they're very enjoyable to listen to
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2 I really like the series of videos you're doing here I do like the history you're getting recorded down Carl's father Rowland would have been one heck of a guy to interview he knew everyone in that area Pete christensen's neighbor Herbie Oberg was the one that I talked to for every day for over 4 years and we used to buy hay from John bang North of Pete Christensen Pete bought Donald bangs farm the bang brothers all three of them sure had a lot of longevity all three were very hard workers and all three heated with wood into their 90's
We have Misasagua rattle snakes here in southeast Michigan. A few years ago one of our horses I'm quite positive was bit by one. It never got sick. Apparently they can decide whether or not they want to inject Venom.
You need to find someone that has a 7810 auto quad very rare find. I know you aren’t a fan of those but a late model 7810 autoquad mfwd with a 741 loader would be the ultimate beef cattle and hay tractor
Ryan I do disagree with your opinion about soybeans. I work for a local dairy farm in OH and he does everything old school… and still picks corn and roast all his beans at local elevator and feed the cows with the old NH 355 Hammermill! Other than that love all your Farm/tractor stories 👍
I'm a good friend of Peter's older brother. I used to come visit them on the farm. I moved away 40 years ago, but I remember them doing tillage with the 1206.
