As always Jan...we viewers REALLY enjoy the different positions of your camera so never think for a second that we forget the time and effort you spend in getting us these awesome scenes! A bonus too in hearing the reasons on how you cut your harvests a certain way. Makes total sense too in the big picture! Loved the chit chat between you and Neline! Appreciate you two having each others backs! A lot to do preparation wise but as you mentioned it is worth doing it yourselves! Hoping the rain came and took care of the thirst for the crops! Those Drone Shots never disappoint! Thanks as always for letting us all hang out on your Farm! Cheers From COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 🙏
Great video, Yan, as usual. You all work so hard. We do hope and pray that you get more rain. The way you and your sister work together is heartwarming. Great family, great farming.
Now you got some more farm land to farm and help feed the world with whatever you're growing on it. They did a good job clearing that all out and getting it ready to plant. Here in the United States farmers and many of them are having solar panels put on their land, acres and acres and acres and it is farmland gone forever, it's incredibly sad.
I live in central Indiana. Yeah we have our share of solar farms. In a couple years when the plastic begins to crumble and have to be crushed and recycled and rebuilt into 2-liter coke jugs the solar farmer scores. Great video. Send some rain South. Great video Jan!
Not neccessarily losing farmland. Some of the new solar farms are being built head-high above the ground, thus allowing sheep, goats, maybe even pigs to graze on the land under the solar panels.
@@timothymbonham4453 I haven't seen that in Minnesota, yet. It certainly makes sense to at least use the land under the solar panels. You certainly wouldn't have to fertilize, ha.
Great video and lots of nice drone shots with some upbeat music was appreciated. From June 14-20, we received 8" of rain here in Central Alberta, after almost drought conditions and extreme heat. What a relief from the hot and dry weather! 'Billion' dollar rain for the foestry workers, farmers and ranchers, and hopefully prevented a 2023 forest/crop and cattle disaster. With also 1-2 feet of snow is some parts of the Rocky Mountains...here comes winter.
Definatly a double edged sword. Nothing brings on a rain more than the cutting of fresh Alfalfa. Can’t say no to some rain though this year. I measured around 11mm here, too bad it moved east when it did, the city probably got more. Good luck with the silage and stay safe.
You can have some of our rain here, I am glad to share! Storms moved in last friday, downed power lines, they called the electric linemen from other states to come help restore power. Some were out of power for 5 days, running on generators. Temps of 105° made things even worse with no air. It's been rough with no power, intense heat. BEV from Mississippi, USA
The first cut looks great! Bet it smells great. It sure looks pretty from the drone all the rows. Love the green. Super excited for the rain too. Now the field will grow again for the next cut.
Great video Jan!! I love the fact that you try to do everything in house and you have the labor to do so. As far as labor I remember seeing a hired hand or two but you also have your sisters running around. In the sibling hierarchy, who is the oldest to the youngest and how old are they? Are all of you going to make farming together everyone's career? I think that that would be fabulous!!
adairyontheprairie aka Neline Kielstra is 27 Saskdutchkid aka Jan Kielstra is 24 Mirjam Kielstra is Next so Neline is the Oldest Mirjam is the Youngest Jan is the Middle Child Neline is the First Jan is the Second Mirjam is the Third.
Great job young man and to your sister as well. You mention that you have sandy soil, how does that work for you? It works great for our potatoes here in P E I. Anyway, keep up the great work! Happy farming!!.
Hoping that we see rain in this video. This video was packed with lots of different jobs and that makes it really interesting. Ahhh the rain does come. Nice to see the extra acreage to plant. Great video and thanks Jan.
You always should cut hay if rain is on the forecast. Just to make that rain want to fall even more on your land. Also leaving truck windows open will help attract that rain.
great video again Jan, you did a great job with your sister,same about the rain, but its is good for the farm, great drone work and thanks for showing,see you 👍💪🤳
A question Jan who does the scheduling for the work ? I’m pretty sure the whole of Canada is in need of rain for crops more importantly to help control the fires.
Take rain over the cutting my man. Don’t watch the rain for too long. My grandpa told if you watch it rain it’ll scare it away. Oh and what’s up with the straw bails left in the fields. Yes we watch Neline’s channel too.😂
Dude no disrespect, but you’re sister is a bad ass hard working woman.Iam sure you are glad she’s around in the farm operation. You guys all work hard. Love your videos. Tks a bunch.
Have you or your dad looked at the cost differential of raising your milking herd and your beef cattle with entirely purchased feed? Less investment/capital in land, equipment, labor, etc. Wondering if you went "capital light" with less how much more could you make.
You make excellent videos. I live on a much smaller scale beef farm in the states, but I enjoy watching your dairy operation. I can relate to the struggle to innovate things as a child of the farm working with dad. I was wondering, what are your thoughts on life after death, God, the Bible or religion in general? Have they changed significantly or in any way over the course of your life?
Jan I was Watching Eric's youtube channel when I got your message as you Know it's a bit impossible to watch two channels at the same time on one Laptop..
I cringed when I saw you standing in front of that running swather. My best friend lost his right arm at the elbow because he hopped of his swather to quickly clear some debris.
Kid❤sorry I forgot your sisters stated on farming with Duffy I would put up some farm GIRLS against most MEN people don’t realise after the girls are done they have men they gots to take care of lol PEACE. USA Let’s go Brandon lol we all know what I am saying
