Whatever you do, you do it well, Jan. You are an outstanding farmer. No need to worry about something made in Italy. It will be good quality. God bless you and yours.
Very informative video. Love the level of detail you present. I appreciate you assume you have a bunch of non-farmers on the channel. Very good. Good job editing. I like the voice overs as well.
Another interesting well made video enjoyed it. I think maybe you speak Dutch I went to Dutch Farmer John he has some very good videos. Did you see the video where he went to Spain and did a farm tour that was very interesting it's good but I wish I understood Dutch so glad that I can have closed captions. He does does talk fast. He does seem like a very nice fella
I had to ask google this question because you guys spend a lot of time and energy getting rid of cow manure. How many times does a cow poop in a day? Answer: 15 times a day, 65 pounds worth of manure. Those figures blew me away. Manure management is a huge part of dairy farming. Cheers from Regina.
I did not know you didn’t feed Rye Silage to milk cows. So all the Rye Silage you put up this year will only go to your steers and hefers? Makes sense then why you combined so much of it. You talked about selling the grain and buying Barley and you gained a good stock of bales. Sounds like Nic will be on your Christmas card list, nice to have someone local to deal with as well.😅
I really enjoy learning about our farmers where our dairy comes from. All the hard work you all do I Thank-You from the bottom of my heart. Dairy is a big product in our family loves 🥛 🧀 🍦 cottage cheese sour cream whipping cream all dairy. My husband was born and raised in the Holland so dairy is a big part of our diet.
Chinese items aren't necessarily cheap. There more like affordable. They are probably designed in North America but because of the exorbitant wages the companies have them manufactured in China. That's why your truck is so expensive.
My only issues with palm oil feed additive is it changes the butter softness at room temperature to me. 2nd I don't understand how it can travel so far and be cost viable. From a business perspective I understand why it is added. I don't blame the dairy farmers that use it just the system that incentivizes them to do it. I would rather the system get you to feed em a bag of seaweed for "green house gasses from cow farts" from our Canadian coast then palm byproducts from the other side of the world with questionable labor laws. Sorry for the rant I do love your channel and enjoy every episode.
How do you know it does, not everyone uses it, maybe half of us. Second it’s been used for a very long time and over a decade after its use this becomes a problem, doesn’t make sense. I appreciate the comment and understand where your coming from but there’s just no way for you to actually know what your saying is true
I can see where you’re coming from but people don’t gonna stop using palm oil that’s a fact so that’s the best outcome It is cheap because because is a product from countries that don’t follow any regulations.
@@saskdutchkid A homestead milked cow's milk turned into butter just spreads way different. the same way I remember butter spread when I was much younger (30+years ago). Unless you have a idea why it's different the palm oil is the only ingredient I can see different from what the cows on the old family farm ate.
@@jorgemrivera5973 just saying have you ever had anything shipped that far? it costs huge amounts . even free product of near anything else would cost more to ship here then the cost dairies pay for it.
