I remember when you were in awe of 10th generation dairy farmer and now you are at almost 100k subscribers. Just shows what hard work, persistence and good content can achieve. Well done
Jan you do such a good job of explaining the smaller details of your everyday farming life. Must be a great feeling having that first cut put away. You are fastly approaching 100K subscribers, how does it feel to know that many people are enjoying your content.
For a young man you explain things pretty well. I’m not a farmer but enjoy watching farm videos. My buddy owned a small farm and helping him put up hay was always a great time. The beer went down real easy after unloading all the hay wagons into the barns loft. Had to be 120 degrees up there. Had a party afterwards for all those that helped. I know it was fun for us but a job for you guys.
I fondly remember working on the Douglas Lake Ranch driving truck hauling silage. We ran two choppers and two trucks, one with a 53’ walking floor trailer and the other with a 24’ end dump trailer. We’d run 24 hours a day, 2 shifts for over a month.
Howdy Jan, you are ripping it man!!! 5k views in 45 mins.!!!!!!!! Your mom seems nice. And way to go sister!!! Trucking it up!!!!!¡! Big 10-4er!!! Jan the time you spend placing cameras and editing is amazing!!!!
Super great video, fantastic camera shots, lovely Doran footage and a GREAT lunch...thank you Mom. This was also educational. All the details are really appreciated. Really enjoyed learning he sharpening process...way back when, cutting with a sickle mower we had to sharpen each blade by hand. What great Machinery improvements. Great job Myrium and congratulations on the promotion. I have never seen silage on the ground and then tarred, it was always ag-bagged. Such an enjoyable video, thank you so much
Your site is just plain great thanks for all your effort in producing it, where do you find the time !!!. Must confess I was raised in a Southwestern Manitoba city which owes its very existence to agriculture as do several business's I was part of. Until discovering your site I was totally uneducated to the commitment, complexity, capital investment and breadth of knowledge/experience required to operate a dairy farm. Wow do we ever take those four letters (milk) for granted. A huge thanks to your family and all other Canadian farm families for producing the worlds best quality foods. Look forward to watching I learn something new every time.
It is always a better day when I get on my computer and find a video notice from you. It was great seeing your sister working with you and your Mom takes good care of you lunchtime. Loved the video and thanks for sharing.
Hi always a pleasure to see fairly old but super maintained material. soon the 100k subscribers! it reflects the quality of your videos. greetings from switzerland. François.
I really enjoy your channel, very educational for the non-farmer. It makes me appreciate even more what goes into producing dairy product. All the best up in Canada🇨🇦
Almost Jan, almost... 😎 100.000 is coming close now!!! And you deserve it! I forgot exactly when I subbed to your channel but I was watching before I subbed already, I always first start to watch a channel and when I keep coming back because it is so interesting then I submit. But you and a couple of your colleague YTbers proudly proof that younger generations still have working hard high in your life and I and a lot of people I think appreciate this very highly!! 👊👌 So, before you hit this incredible landmark I want to say, Thank You! And not only you but also your sisters! You all have clearly very loving and supportive parents and that is Litteraly the base you lean, learn and is your rock in life! Just wanted to put this out there 😊 I never smelled fresh cut alfalfa, wished I'd could but living in a small village and having lots of farmers around and as a kid having a load of class friends and girlfriends who did come from farms (I have been to a agriculture school) I do know all about hay and straw, playing in the old fashion Dutch haystack's or sort of silos and every August getting bailed straw and mèn! Did that mess up the arms and stinging and scratches everywhere 😁 Looking back I should have stayed in that school but I changed profession completely and went in a total different way but it was fun and had a great time and year's later I came to live next door at a little cow farmer 😁 and that clearly was a sign that I had to proceed what I wanted to do first when I choose farming as my career... 😁 But... Almost Jan.... !! 😁😎
Always enjoy your videos. You always have so much variety with all of the things that you do. You're a cool guy. Your parents must be very proud. Nice to see your mom too.
Thanks for showing all the farming things. It's interesting to see how everything works. I see your so close to 100k. I've shared your videos and hope you hit that milestone soon.
Your sister's seem to be pretty tough cookies that hold their own workin w/ you 'Big Dawgs' 😂🤣😉. And your MOM ... OMG, that lunch looked hella good ... And she delivers!!! No wonder why you came back to the farm and don't live far from her kitchen. I would too 😄. Dennis seems to be a fun kinda guy to have around. Although having "nothing better to do then throw tires around", tells me you two need to get out more often. But, in all seriousness ... Your whole family, your farm help, and others that come service equipment /etc. and have input info. to help us followers understand dairy farming have a huge amount of respect from a majority, if not all of us who look forward to your videos. Thanks Jan (and Family). 👍👏🐄🥛
You’re my favorite RU-vidr now. My old favorite RU-vidr was a small Channel at 50k but one of his friends messed up his career and now he only post like 3 times a year So make sure u keep on uploading.
The inoculate, that's new to me. I never knew that was used, until I watched this. I grew up in a small farming community, & spent many hours working for various farmers to help with harvest time(s).
It's interesting to see all the hard work that happens at a dairy farm. I won't be taking my milk for granted anymore, that's for sure. Keep up the great videos.
Your videos are amazing footage is spot on. Thank and love your mama everyday. Thanks so much for all of what you all do to give use quality healthy goodness your all amazing. 🐄🐄🐄...
Love your videos as you explain clearly on what's going on. I've been noticing that your channel has been gaining alot of subscribers. Nothing beats a good meal out in the fields, when I was a hiredman my boss mom fed us good especially on Sundays, roast and potatoes and corn and vegetables with homemade buns and pie but a hour after I ate I always wanted to take a nap lol. Do you put anything on your alfalfa fields after you take a cutting off, like liquid or dry manure so you don't have to pile it up ?
My grandfather had a small dairy farm in Minnesota that I got to spend many summers at when I was a kid. I loved the farming way of life and when I came across your channel, in took me back to those summers where I helped in the milking parlor and helped put up hay. I have watched all of your videos and have learned so much about the modernization of farming. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us and thank you to all the Canadian and American farmers out there who work their tails off 365 days a year to put food on our tables. You all rock!
@@saskdutchkid hiiii how many days after this will be ur alfaalfa ready for 2nd cut......?? And how much is the yeild for approx 100 acres u hav cut?? And how many days it would last considering u have approx 500 cows in total...?
I grew up in osler, my best friends family had dairy farm, the sawatzky is their family name! Miss the dairy farm! Moved away to bc now on My own hobby farm! Love the vids man!!
the great video just one question should explain in coming up what is silage and why you have to cover it and how long before you can use it some viewer may not know these questions to they may wonder if the silage does go bad we put it right into the pits have longer usage time for use to use it up then a bale
Good vid Yan, you need that good dinner your Mom makes for all the work you do... Also, must finally be warmer weather in Saskatchewan, you are wearing summer shorts 😎
you guys should really look to invest into some extra proper bunker silo save some of that silage being wasted on the ground. even if its just a floor done.
Great team work getting the silage harvested and covered in the wind! Thats really cool the chopper has a built in sharping stone on board!! How many ton do you think you harvested that day? Thanks for the video with great camera view points! ✅
Is there not a renewable coverage for the silage that you can use over and over instead of using single use plastic? The cost of the plastic will add up to a large amount of cost per year. It would be better if there is a reusable coverage for it.
You could but its a pain. Comes in a roll then you would have to try and roll it back up. If the wind catches it, mess. Easy to cut bits off when feeding out bits. Also critters chew holes in it sometimes so you would have to find them all and tape them
Well the kid has a name lol , Yan ,is that a nordic name ,my ancestry is viking ,i was born and raised on the Orkney islands ,another great video my young friend
There are older videos where he has installed and repaired these brushes. It is just a brush that is activated when a cow leans into it. The brush acts like a Back Scratcher / Massager.
