- The temps continued to rise, so we took advantage and decided to continue our Spring cleaning.
We also explain why there haven't been a lot of videos lately, as the entire family got hit with a nasty flu bug.

Trinity Dairy was established in 2006, in Minnesota. Alan and Jennifer farm with their 5 children; Jessica, Justin, Jordan, Joshua, and Jason. We milk a mix of 33 Jersey, Holstein, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Ayrshire cattle. We also enjoy sharing our family's love of Draft Horses and using them for logging and other farm work. Dairy Farming in Minnesota can be challenging, but it's a lifestyle we really enjoy. Subscribe today to watch our small family dairy farm and family grow while continuing to thank our Lord for the blessings we've been given.
My then 21 year old daughter was driving hayrides for a charity event, and someone complained that she couldn't have enough experience to do it. When I said she had 16 years experience, he asked what fool would let a 5 year old drive a tractor. I introduced myself as her Dad. 😮😂
This has been one strange winter. I love seeing another generation working on the farm. Sharing the memories keeps the past generations alive. Stay safe, and God bless .
Nothing better for a man than to see his kids (and grandkids) growing up and doing well - I know the feeling you were talking about. Glad to see the MN weather has been mild for you but sometimes I wish it was just winter cold so you get used to one type. Keep up the good work!
No need to apologize. Justin looks just like you on that tractor. I know your Granpa is watching his grandkids help on the farm. Maybe why this winter has been so mild. He is so pround makes the sun shine brighter
Truly blessed man with a great family. Watching our children grow is always proud dad and sad dad moment.
Once again good video and glad everyone is over the flue. One of my favorite things about your videos is seeing your kids out there working with you and Jen. Teaching them young is always a great idea so they will be able to help and run the farm. Great video Alan and God bless you and Family
Great video, it is rare, nowadays, to find a dairy where all the cows have real names and not just a number. And even more rare when the kids know all the names. Brings back a lot of memories.
Glad to hear you are all feeling better. Keep the videos coming, I sure enjoy them.
Thanks for getting mushy. It shows you being real. Sorry you had to deal with the flu.
Alan, I can’t help feeling the same as you as I watch along. Seeing your kids growing up and working alongside you is an emotional moment. Thank you for allowing us to share the pride you have in your kids. I have memories of an old New Idea spreader behind an 8N with my dad in the late 60’s too. I had fun driving the tractor without realizing I was doing a full adult job. Your kids will have similar memories. Keep on farming and I’ll keep on watching.
Hi, all your Kid`s have experience (Barnwork, milking aso), that`s great.
You are great parents and your children are the proof. God bless!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Teach them young ❤😊 hope everyone is feeling better an healthy
Those farm memories are all around us. Always good to share the past with the future.. 😇
Your boy looks like an excellent tractor driver 👍. I'm hoping to start my oldest daughter driving this summer. I've got a tine bucket I use for bed pack, it works really nice, especially in those wood side sheds you can't push too hard on.
Agee with others on the emotions, they are good to have in moments like that. They past way to fast, so thankful for those moments with my dad. And moments with my son and now grandsons. Life is a gift to not take for granted, money can not by those moments.
Very nice job and God bless y'all and hope you get better
Looks like the field is holding up the tractor and spreader pretty good on this day. The mushy stuff is just fine Alan. On the family farm. Maturity is part of that too. Aside from the mud, spring is one of my favorite times of the year. New life, new growth for everything.
Congratulations on the new young help , well deserved , learning from the best , keep them busy , stay safe , enjoy !
Always enjoy seeing Jen being especially kind to the animals...they love the attention.
This is very awesome budddy happy your sons are able to start helping out sorry to hear about your grandfather
I remember helping my dad work on things when I was young back in the 50's and 60's, it still brings back good memories even now all these years later 😊
That's so great, a few more years and you'll have so much labor help you might need to rent some more acres and add some cash crops! What an exciting way to grow up, building a family business together.
I love your video and thank you gor feeding the world
So good to see you. I hope you keep getting better. Praying for y’all
We're definitely getting better, thanks!
Maybe it me but I feel I havnt seen alot of TrinityDairy..glad to see you&kids. Keep it goin.
Good video! Alan Jackson has a line in a song thats quite fitting. "You only get a minute, better live while you're in it, cause its gone in a blink".
Good video! Yes, that is how it should be! Watching my kids grow and now my grand kids is a blessing. The good Lord has helped us and blessed us a long the way. You and your family are good people and may God continue his blessings.
Good to hear you are all feeling better, I was wondering what happened to you.
Looks like you have a great operator coming along! The future of Ag will be in good hands with the kids that are learning by doing. Great video, and I know what you mean by memories coming back as you watch your kids doing something you did. 👍👍
Good video, I remember those days hauling manure for my uncle only we had a loader on a tractor instead of a skid steer. I loved growing up on the farm.
Manure hauling/pen cleaning is a never-ending job on dairy farms. Even with our small beef herd and dairy feeders, no shortage of manure. In Ohio the upcoming excitement is the 8 April 2024 solar eclipse. Sorry to hear of your flu bug encounter, nasty stuff to deal with.
Hi Alan, and then you realize that you are sitting in the easy chair, just watching the kids do all the work, and then realize that they are not kids anymore. 😢 great video and take care.🇨🇦👍🚜❤️
So true!
Little late but hé european time overhere, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Love the smell of money. Always enjoy the vids. Take care.
I really like the cleaning out videos and the before and after. You have a great family!
I know that feeling. Me and my late dad would do the same. Im on the spreader and hes in the loader
Great video. A manure tine bucket would work great for bed pack.
Definitely!
Alan, a manure tine bucket in your situation would be really handy. I'm in Western Pennsylvania we have a company in eastern Ohio called mast farm service that produces them that is where mine came from. Probably find them on google. I have it on a 3640 gehl. One of the things I found handy with it is it when I'm loading I will pick it up and drop it two or three times shake the load up and then put it on the spreader and it seems to spread out better doesn't leave as many clumps
Justin looks like me in 1975. Best time on the farm when dad said I was old enough to drive tractor.
You have a nice family.
Good job backing the manure spreader Justin!👍👍👍
Alan, we bought just a straight tine manure bucket for bedding pack, it’s not as good as a grapple but it’s way better than using a bucket. Might be something to look into. Be well!
Some very good help they your doing really good job 👏 👍 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing. Hope everyone is doing good and feeling better. Sap been running here kinda steady since about the last of January. Hope you're going to post some boiling videos? I still have memories of days gone by my farmers days every day.
Tapping trees!👍 Good luck on this year's crop of syrup.
thank you
That’s one thing about milking cows you have to go to the barn no matter how you feel. Been there done that.
well said dad
Justin has come a long ways operating equipment... nice work young man
Smells like money! Great job ya'll. 💩🐄🐂🐃🚜
Nice video.
Glad you guys are all getting back to good health. Was wondering what had happened. Missed my post milking Sunday morning video update. All the best to you all 👍
Another very interesting video Thank you
Great early spring cleaning great video
Good work
Hey Allen and Jen got a question for you . That young man definitely has been bitten by the farming bug. Have you ever thought of working with him on an economics project? Like buying a few beef steers and raising them , processing and selling. Then you could go over all the cost and have him keep a log and then you can see how he does maybe instead dairy he might want to do beef . Maybe the next year do a small plot of grain farming. It would be a great learning experience while he still has you both to lean on.
We're actually going to talk about what Justin has been up to and his interest in beef cattle.
@trinitydairy cool can't wait. He has definitely got the farmer bug I'm glad to see you're fostering the love. Because you truly have to love it to be good at it.
Just got over the flu Myself makes it pretty miserable doing barn chores.
Even if you run over the field with a spike toothed harrow and level it nice, you'll still collect a lot of the bedding back when you run the hay rake next summer. The bedding won't be deteriorated enough. Especially if it's a dry spring. Been there done that. I'd put corn on that field.
Our family has been under the weather also.
Hope you get well soon!
You should get yourself an ArtWay spreader.
Did alot of that as a child
👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍
Hello, what is that smaller opening for off to the right of the big door?
The barn was originally built for pigs.
was wondering about the maple syrup this year how much is she going to do tap wise i cant do much this year and it really bummes me out huge deal for me sorry about the sickness seems it happens every year
She put in 22 taps this year. She's boiled about 18 gallons so far. Yesterday was pretty cold, so she was able to catch up from the previous days.
May I ask you what breeds of cattle do you have now?
Holstein, Jerseys, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire.
So just a question how many lbs of corn silage you all feed per cow a day?? Looking at growing corn for our small farm this year. Thank you.
Not sure what it weighs, but we split a wheelbarrow full of silage, for 2 cows, once a day.
Thank you
What are you using for bedding?
It's bedding hay.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
Strange weather i see your having,, Again. Hopefully not the rest of the year ,,but i would bet on it continuing ,,look for the signs of a drought comin cause i believe i see sighns of it again myself, as I lived up there for many years,,its very strange with your very mild winter weather right now . Its just not right or the way it supposed to be as normal. ,,as my dad who farmed for 50 some years., He predicted it at different times as such,in what im seeing for you up there right now. .,and he made lots of money playing the commodity futures,markets ,, watch the weather
I have not got any notifications on your post for a bit. I resubbed, hope that fixes it! Really enjoy how you know all those beautiful critters names!!!! They look healthy and happy. I miss spreading manure in the spring!!! Always loved it till I found a wet spot!😂 Keep on keeping on! Hoping you have a great harvest this year! God bless, be safe!
