All you guys are the best. Many people do not know...but I know...dairy farming is the most labor intensive but most gratifying farming that there is. Merry X-mas to all of you! Enjoy both of your channels!
2 of my favorite channels. Goes to show there is a place for the small dairy farms. The kids seem to enjoy the stories as much as the adults well done.
Nice to have visitors. People don't stop in and talk like they used to. Seems like everyone is too busy. On the other hand, we may not be able to stop by for coffee Sunday afternoon but we can watch and comment on each other's videos. Don't freeze, temps. dropping fast here.
Yeah, visiting with friends and neighbors, definitely doesn't happen as often as it should. Temps dropping fast here too, then Friday it's supposed to be crazy windy! Im thinking we'll be having power outages again.stay warm and stay safe up there!
Wowza, my son said there'd be something special on you tube when I got home tonite. He would not give me a hint. Figured it must be something special from one of the 4 farm channels I follow. Wowza it was special, 2 for the price of one! Love both these channels!
Nice to see both of you getting together for a video. I enjoy watching there videos as well. You both do a wonderful job of caring for your cows. I also remember watching a Trinity Dairy video earlier this year and Allen commenting on how he enjoyed Gierok farms channel. God bless to all the small family dairy farms.
I love all of these guys. Many of us can relate to these people. Would be cool if Kip Siegler and Mike Price could join in but alas many miles and chores away.
That was cool seeing the Gierok team at your farm cant believe i missed this video before . I just watched them mount their picker and this popped up next kudos
@trinitydairy keep up the good work love both of your guys videos I'm in rooting for the small farmers not many left Grew up on a small farm and I can relate to exactly what you guys go through best to you all
Back when my Dad and I farmed we ran unis from kundert in fort Atkinson. We had a chopping one and a combining and picking one they were newer and both had Cummins in them. They ran great
Great video. RU-vid can even overcome Packers vs Vikings rivalries!😊. Seriously we loved the shared conversation. We’ve subscribed to both channels since we joined RU-vid and never miss an episode. Nice to see small farmers with legacy equipment make it despite the rising expenses. Nothing against the big guys but I’d love to see more farms like yours. Keep farming and keep filming.
What a surprise! The number one and two of my subscriptions and I get to see them both. I really enjoyed both channels. We won't tell them, but Trinity dairy is my number one! Alan you and your family have a very safe and Merry Christmas, Skip Ruckert, Western PA. The storms are headed our way. But we will not get the accumulations that you get.
Well fellas on the subject of picking corn as opposed to shelling, we are a former dairy in Western Pennsylvania who is now in beef cattle. And the last several years with the newer varieties of corn and maybe a little more better technology in our planter we have had to at the end of the season after we had the cribs filled higher a combine. So about 5 years ago I bought myself an old leaner f2 diesel and I have a 13-ft green table and a four row wide corn head . Not only are we in the beef cattle business we also run a small custom ground livestock feed business here so we need to show corn for our horse, hog, and poultry feeds but we still grind your corn for our herd and for a couple of our food customer that also have cattle. I happen to think that your corn is a good feed for cows we put a very good product on the rail feeding ear corn green chop in the fall bailage through the winter. I am happy with our program and much like you fellas not really interested in going to the expense of a wet bin a dryer and a dri Ben. I picked with a 324 new idea wide row 12 roll bid we pulled it with a 75c Case IH two wheel drive open station or if it gets cold and ugly we put our McCormick 95c on with the cabin the four wheel drive. Wish you the best really enjoying the video and much like some of these other folks have said that you guys are probably two of my favorite RU-vid channels.
Wow this was awesome my most favorite you tube Farmers getting together , I’d never dreamed this would happen . May God Bless you both in the days ahead - I’m 72 still running small herd beef cattle on 135 acres here 60 acres of hay every year by my self . Again great seeing both of you
Yeah those guys look like brothers not dad and son lol i like their channel too i like the bells on their cows thats kool. Nice guys i watch both of your channels Allen is very gifted and knowledgeable he reminds me of my dad.
The only 2 farm channels I watch every episode, together, a good day. Thanks. Family farming is hard work and worth every drop of blood, sweat, and eye water.
Love watching your videos and I love it that you and Gierok farms are coming together as friends! Watch you both for a while now. Great informative videos on both channels! God bless your families!
That is awesome to see them guys at your place. I have been subscribed to them also and watch there videos. I would love to sit in a chair in the summer with a beverage with all of u and talk the day away if I ever had time to do it
Gierok and Trinity...........I enjoy watching videos of both farms picking corn. Gierok with their New Idea mounted picker on a IH 686 and Trinity with that New Idea Uni.
Great details on this one. I can’t believe how much your kids have grown Alan and Jen. When we started watching your channel your youngest was still a baby. God Bless
God blesses his elect with fellowship, visiting is an art to be enjoyed every chance we have. I always enjoy seeing my neighbors and we stop what we are doing to visit with them and they us. Community matters.
hi guys your local yocal on my other channel im bouncing between systems. thank you i cant express the words i should you guys everyone of you in the videos and behind the scenes mean so much to me and all your viewers . you bring light to so many people your defiantly apart of my heart thank you for being here for me and so many others love you guys josh
Two of my favorite channels doing a collaboration, what a wonderful Christmas gift! Now you should see about doing something with squatch253, join his plow day maybe? Merry Christmas!
I grew up on a dairy farm. My dad had a 2 row corn picker that mounted on our farmall M. Prior to that we had a 1 row pull behind. Those were the days!
The two best farming channels on RU-vid!!! Subscribed to both nice operations and I hope my farm could be half of what they are!!! Old school is the only way to farm!
We had a John Deere 300 picker with a 3 row narrow combine head. Can still get parts from JD because there are a lot of parts that are combine parts on the machine. We pulled a dump box behind ours and dumped straight into the corn crib we made for it. Could also dump into trucks to haul from further fields or for selling. A neighbor to the south has an 8 row picker that they pick with straight into semi trailers. They pick about 150 acres a year with it. Sure enjoyed both your videos! Brings back a lot of memories milking cows on a small farm. Thanks fellows
Enjoyed this very much. It is good to see different areas. I watch both channels now and am enjoying it. I am in Michigan. Old enough to remember my dad using an old John Deere B on his small farm. Not the best land but he enjoyed farming (20 acres) so much that he worked full time at night and spent his waking hours with field work and the different animals we had. I really enjoy the older way of doing things and also the new. Take care. We are under a winter storm warning tonight into tomorrow night with blizzard warnings up for the western areas of the state. Hope for no power outages as haven't been able to talk my husband into a generator yet and we have no wood heat here.
Yeah I'm in the other video you guys was talking about narrow front tractors I grew up more in Southern Michigan where we cultivated corn sugar beets dry beans and the beginning of the narrow front tractors took over the cultivating chores from the horses and later the mounted corn pickers came in late 30s and of course the standard tread tractors were hard to steer they didn't have individual brakes and it was a problem getting up on the fence corners many of the older guys when I was growing up so that's the last thing you want is a wide front tractor they're unhandy sorry to be so long-winded
Really enjoy both videos and both channels. Allen you mentioned in gierok's video that it's always a worry that they stop taking your milk. That must be difficult and hopefully you have a plan B.
It’s pretty damn nice to see family farms still going. I know it’s hard with the factory farms now days. Sad that these co-ops and creameries don’t care about the smaller farms that started them up. They look at volume which I think is so dumb.
We just watched the video where you replaced the manure line. My husband was wanting to see the manure pit, if you could show that sometime in your future videos. Thank you. We enjoy your channel
