General rule of thumb with dads: the quieter he gets, the better you are doing😂 well done emily, i really enjoyed that. I always find it so interesting to see how hay/haylage gets made. Takes a lot of skill and experience
Dear Mr. Dunstan,, You have a very talented daughter, I didn’t understand anything that she was talking about, but I think that she moved the big tractor around in a very professional manner. Hopefully all the hay and hay ledge that she helped you make will be of great use to you in the winter. I think that she did a super job. Well done Emily. Jane. 👍👍🧑🏻🦰
You definitely beat Esme, she had a satellite guided tractor. Never heard the term dramming it before, we call it rowing up where I am (Somerset) Nice to see something different and loved your Dad
This is so lovely seeing you working with your Dad - all sounds simple in theory but what a lot of skill is takes in practice! I thought you handled the tractor really well and makes me want a go!! You're Dad seems a character - lovely to see him. And I'm a fan of the wrapper!! ☺️ Would've been cool to have seen you open a fresh bale at the end just to show it being fed now - bet it's a lovely crop
Aww, bless your Dad being in a vlog despite being a touch uncomfortable in front of the camera. You did well in the tractor (way better than I did the first time I drove one lol) & moving the bales looked like a fun job- almost a bit like farm style bumper cars 😜
Emily! One of my favorite vlogs ever. So many thoughts…you are a proud daughter from a hard working farming family, LOVE the drone shots…epic! I’m was a crop and soil environmental science major in college in the US and love farming equipment and processes, and lastly our son at a very early age referred to any field full of hay bales as a “herd of hay” so there’s a link back to horses. Ha! So thankful for this vlog. Will watch it again later today. Very entertaining.
Really enjoyed Emily, please do more🤞🏽 found it fascinating especially the drone footage….Loved Clarkson’s farm too…. Especially Kaleb who I now follow on here…. Ps…. I have serious Bicep envy…. Inspiring me to work on my bingo wings! Xx
I loved seeing the process of how it is actually done. It was very nice to see both of you together. I would love to see more about what it takes to run and do on the farm. Please if possible please can you make some more videos about the what it takes to run and care for the animals. One of the best videos I have seen on hay making. Thank you so much for your dad for letting us join in on the process. Thank you so much! Loved it very much!
Such special memories to have of your dad! My family has a cattle farm and we bale our own hay as well. The last few years we have been doing a lot more haylage than just regular square or round bales and it is such a cool process. Your dad reminds me a lot of my dad. I think it is a farmer thing. A man of few words, but very wise when he does speak. Also, you are way better and braver with the tractor than I will ever be!
Fab video! Ive done haylage making and i know how quick those turns come along, i find it stressful but fun as well 😂 well done, the ponies will be very happy!
I LOVE the bale wrapper! It reminds me of when we got a pallet wrapper at work and I would take any chance I got to get out of my office and go to the warehouse to watch it in action! It was so great seeing how haylage is made!
I watched this last night with my boyfriend who actually drives tractors for a living and we both really enjoyed it, we’d both love to see more farm stuff on your channel as it’s interesting and something different too. I love having a shot of my boyfriends tractors trying out different jobs although I’ve never done silage as it’s such a big operation with contractors coming in and they work non stop for three days as they have so much land to do wheee my boyfriend works but I love sitting with him at silage time. I’ve had a go at slurry and fertiliser though
Emily your dad was so funny in this vlog telling you off lol. Like you said it will be good to look back on in years to come. It would be fun to see you doing it again next year with your dad. x
Absolutely loved this it was so interesting to learn how hayledge is made, and seeing your relationship with your dad was funny and sweet to watch. Really.entertaining Em, would love a series of Dunstans farm xx
It was so cool seeing how it all gets done. I don't think many people think about the work that goes into it ha. Yr dad's lovely and it's lovely to have those memories. Other jobs around the farm would be good to see too. A working farm must have loads u can get Yr hands dirty with lol. Great vlog xx
Just watched with my 6 year old daughter who loved it. Your dad looked like he was living the dream. Definitley deserves a few Rattlers for that. Drone fottage was ace.
“Take it away Ernie” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 - the night bus is probably one of my favourite bits from Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, and it’s because of this scene! Also, thank you for showing us all of this. It’s been fascinating 🥰
Great memories to have and keep with your Dad ❤ Bless you Em, you looked worried and happy all at the same time. You did a great job and I have laughed at your Dad telling you off and being so serious!! Maybe he was trying to be like Jeremy Clarkson 🤔 😁
Emily, thanks for making this!! I giggled so much whilst working - really put me in a good mood. Your dad is a saint! Such a good experience for you too! love how millie just chills in the cab 🥰
Learning to drive with Dad, giving me anxious flashbacks haha!! I've guess learning to drive with my mum was worse though! White knuckles on the dash lol!!
One of the best if not the best vlog you have done please please can we have more of Dunstan farm it was brilliant lots of laughs and so lovely to see you and your dad working together what an absolutely lovely vlog and memories for you. ❤. Xx
Loved this, brings back lots of memories of my childhood and helping my Grandad on his farm. We also call it rowing up not dramming and I am in Leicestershire.
Your dad's doing a good job of your FIT (Farmer In Training).. ;) getting you ready for Tractor Dressage: keep your lines straight, mind your corners, and even pacing...
Loved this! Interesting how we have different terms for stuff. We call turning the hay tedding here and rowing up is our term for dramming. I refused to drive the tractors on my boyfriend's farm for years then last year I was bored during lockdown and thought 'Why not'. I harrow and roll all our grass fields now ha, very therapeutic!
I have only just caught up with this. 😃We always used to get a contractor to make small bale hay for us and then we had to pick them up by hand and stack them in the barn. We made over 600 one year! I am relieved that we don’t make it ourselves any more... it’s inevitably the hottest time of the year and it’s exhausting. 🤣 This was fab though! 😍
Well done Emily, this was really interesting. Your dad was a great sport to let you help, although I’m sure he was glad of the company. The wrapping was amazing to watch. I’m sure the ponies and cows will enjoy their haylege that much more knowing it was made with extra love and care. Thanks Em x
I just loved watching this! I don't know if this is weird to say, but the drone footage was so satisfying to watch - it's so cool to see hay being made from that view!
Good job it’s you not Meg she would have been throwing in a circle before every row lol and as for Tina well can you imagine the chat between her and your dad, he would have been out of that tractor in a flash x
That looked like fun. I always wished I had been born on a farm. I was impressed you and your Dad did not come to blows unlike when my Dad (a police driver) tried teaching me to drive and I exited the car and walked home!
Lovely vlog. Your Dad really made me laugh 😅. My mare hates to go past the field when the wrapping machine is working makes her shake bless her. It was so nice to see you with your Dad making memories 💕
That was really interesting Emily. I remember seeing the wrapped bales in the fields and wondering how it was done. Now I know lol. Well done Mr Dunstan (-: Marion
Enjoyed this so much I keep my pony up the road from my house on a farm where she only lives with 4 other ponies but there are around a hundred cows and same amount of sheep n also big fields used to make hay! Even though I see it happening it’s so interesting to watch the process properly xx
Loved this, very interesting! The beginning reminds me of my Dad trying to teach me to drive, although we only made it one drive because there was too much telling off 😂
LOVED this vlog, it is so interesting to see things like this done - you should definitely do more of these, does your dad make Silage too? I've worked on a dairy farm, and I am (to this day) scared of fresians - it's their boneiness (if that makes sense) - but definitely do more. And I love your dad, he's exactly like mine, knows how everything is 'meant' to be done! Mine is a mechanic though, so slightly different! BUT one thing to tell him, you must have a HUGE younger demographic, and how cool would it be if watching vlogs on how a farm like yours works inspires just ONE person to go into farming? (as difficult as it can be) As always, it's an utter pleasure to watch your vlogs! - Please tell me this bad luck, relating to horses names - we ALWAYS change the horses names when they come to the RDA! Should I be having a wee word with the boss, 'maybe this is why this horse hasn't worked out...'
We loved this, never seen the whole process before and it was so interesting. Even my 3 year old was glued to the screen! Your dad is so cute, even when telling you off 😆x
Your dad is way more forgiving then mine ha! I would of been getting out in tears ahah i always used to get demoted to wrapping! :') Farmers ay!! Great Vlog you should defiantly do more around the farm
I love all things farming so I was so pleased when I saw this. Do you think you and Chris will take over the farm work one day ? You definitely suit a tractor 🚜
This was fun to watch! We bale our own hay every year as well. I don't think haylage is as popular in the US, we mostly use dry hay for our horses here.
