It is great to see such and expansion, and we can just imagine all the planning it takes to follow through and make this all a reality. Nothing is simple any more from permits to regulations so we wish your families all the best and trouble free success. It’s very interesting to see this all take shape through time . Years ago we would get an aerial photo taken of our farm yards and how in time we expanded, we were very proud to have all those yard photos as pictures of the past over all the decades. It is something that you can see and be proud of being part of all that and showing grandkids later on .
That is an impressive project. The know it alls need to remember that whatever else happens during this project those cows need to get milked every day
It is rare to watch an expansion of this scale come to fruition stage-by-stage. With your thorough play by play, everything make sense. I have seen a number of expansions - but none where it's so well documented. Your family is making a real contribution in our local economy and I wish you success and good fortune as the years progress. Hard to believe that the Navarino Fire Station expansion was in progress just down the road at the same time 24 years ago in 1999-2000.
Looks really good Andy, hopefully we'll get to see carousel in operation. Thanks for all your interesting videos. 👍 I remember very well when power went off, hooking vacuum hose from Surge milker to manifold of tractor! How things have changed.😁
Looks awesome Andy, so happy for you and your family. You are building quite a legacy. Will you be able to show the parlor etc in use when it's done or will it still be "off limits" to the videos?
Hello Andy all I can say is this is impressive. Watching your videos have given me a better understanding on big operations thankyou. Enjoyed your video Sir have a great day all of you.
@@hedge685 diversification woulda made more sense grow other types of crops on some of the fartherest from the barns land. Given milk price is terrible I can't see how continued expansion is the right move.
@@toddmatson4179not necessarily no. That's the biggest problem every farm wants to keep growing and producing more milk for a market that doesn't exist and keeps the price suppressed. When milk price goes down if every dairy farm in America culled the bottom 10% of they're heard and took the excess milk from the least profitable cows out of the market price will go back up but instead they look at it backwards and want to add more cows to maintain the size of their milk check. And just because you're getting the same size check doesn't mean you're making any money when you have to increase expenses to maintain the size of that check. Not everything corn producers selling corn for $4 a bushel so they all want to produce more corn to try to maintain their income not understanding that the more corn they produce a four dollars a bushel the more money they're gonna lose.
What are your expansion plans? You are at like 1700 milking , going to ? Is there a cap with land etc ? Do a video on all that with one of the drone vids.
If you just drilled a well a few days ago for the new barn what did you hook up to to the one you had drilled a few months ago? Or am I miss understanding you
Upgrades are looking good but I have 2 questions. When is the shop getting an addition and what is the reason one barn is steel and the rest is wood pole barn?
@@user-lr4ht1uw1zno it isn't. But the more logical question is why don't they have a biodigester on a manure pit to produce their own power and sell surplus electricity, I mean their electric bill is massive it would pay for itself in 5 years or less.
