Hard to see the homestead go but the only thing constant is change, nice to see someone put hard work into salvaging and recycling, best of luck on your new projects, thanks for posting
Always except changes in life.
I agree with chains but personally the other thing I have found that stays the same or is there as the Lord. Not trying to preach at all just a older disabled country hick who am very blessed in spite of my past. Yes I voice text .Sorry if I did not come out right. She’s doing a great job God bless her
That's great to see getting everything to build your barn for free. Good job on everyone pitching in.
600/1200!!!! That is Huge!!! A couple Million for sure!!! Wow!!!!
Congratulations to you for your acquisition of all the materials, so happy to see the structural components of the buildings being re-purposed, too many good materials end up in either a landfill, or buried, or even burned,right on the farm.Awesome work by your family!
No way to explain the sad thoughts of watching the changes. Also the fond memories of the home place. 🙏🙏🙏
Prayers for your family.
Milking cows has been in your family for a long time. The help you have with your boys really goes fast taking down the buildings. Good luck and be safe.
Congratulations to your dad on his retirement. Great score on all that material. I can wait to see what y’all do with it. I believe it to be sad to see the family farm go away. Kevin and you are building your own heritage on your farm.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Its sad to see family childhood homes disappear. The bright side is with todays cost of lumber and materials you have received a nice benefit for yourselves 👍
Rhonda, your beautiful silver gray roots are begining to show !
I suppose some tears have been shed as you see the family homestead go to another farm family.
Praise the Lord you had a wonderful start to life there and your bringing some of it to your farm.
May your parents have a great healthy retirement. God bless all of you as you expand for the future.
God Bless you all. 🇦🇺
Sad to see your home place beiing sold , but at least you will have on your homestead and have fond memories of you childhood every time you going into the shed , big job taken it
down and putting it backup again .
at least your able to take a little of your family's farm with you and with it comes history and memories that you can pass on
Safety! Those that live in glass houses do not throw stones. My days doing that type work there were no telescoping forklift. I left a post on a Facebook page and everyone hammered me for the safety. They spoke before thinking. That is cool work with that project.
Thankyou for sharing Rhonda. It is sad to see your homestead go where you grew up.
Very cool on the history, and awesome that Kevin got the stuff to repurpose. Hats of to your dad or the new owners that donated the buildings also. I know Kevin and the boys will put everything to great use eventually.🇺🇸🐄☝️
Its great to hear that the materials will be repurposed, and also another farmer was able to purchase your family's farm. I have been through it myself, its lousy to see your childhood farm sold, but it continuing to be a farm and not a housing development is great news! Excellent footage and explanations Ronda. Take it easy
Alot of poirier farms in Franklin county NY, you by any chance one of?
They live in michigan
@@davecramer9725 wasn't asking where ronda's family is from,that I already knew was Michigan!
Geez...
wow! that is great that you're able to get all that material. Can't wait to see what you all do with it.
Thanks so much for sharing your story with us always enjoy your videos
It's great that y'all can take the Barns apart and use the material on your Farm. And it also helps Y'all save a lot of money on materials. Y'all have a great Safe Blessed Day 🤗. Be careful 😉
We are currently taking down our old freestall barn that was built in 1977 to make room for a new grain bin. We sold our cows in Aug. 2003, my Martin Luther King Day. Free at last. We saved most of the metal and lumber. We are going to build a leanto onto another barn. This was all nailed. It will take over 2 weeks.
Thank You Rhonda for sharing some family history of yours to your subscribers. You and Kevin should be very proud of yourself and your family. I grew up on a small farm outside of Lansing MI. So I know that the work can be very hard at times. I can't say that I have ever seen a family such as yours work so hard. Congrats to all of you. Keep up the good work. I really enjoyed your garden tour of last year. That was the most beautiful garden I have ever seen. Keep on sending us your great videos. I enjoy them very much.
Cool, family working together . Thx for Sharing
Enjoy hearing the history. All the best to your folks and brothers and there families.
Great to have a piece of your past at your current farm.
Yes, it's such a blessing!!
Thanks Rhonda 👋 Seen a lot of changes take place over the years. Time - you can't stop it. Just gotta roll with the punches. All the best to you all!
Bravo Rhonda Kevin Acres of Clay always great content and viewing impressive dismantling of buildings blessings always from NZ❤
Good to see y'all again good video
Always sad to see a farm go but glad you are getting all that material. That's a crazy amount of work, and more ahead!
I've taken down a couple of 300' chicken houses. It's a JOB any way you approach it! You've got good help with the boys and Kevin. Take care, be safe.
Good Sunday morning Rhonda. From Missouri
Good morning!
Very great new video on the farm again
Very interesting video thanks for your time to do the video about your families farm
Doing a great job! Family working together is truly amazing! Keeping me entertained! Loved working on a farm in CT in the late 80’s.
Thank you for sharing your family history,i'm sorry to hear they are no longer farming there,but a least it will continue to be farmed and that you can take something from there and put it to good use on your own farm.I wish you and Kevin and your family every success for the future.
Going to be exciting to see all the new projects that will be happening on the farm coming up soon. That is one big barn and I am happy to see that you all got to take it down and put it to good use.
Thank you for letting us know that you are being safe and I hope you make more videos of y’all taking the barn down
Rhonda, safety is always important being safe is more important. You and your family work everyday watching out for each other. Trust in your and Kevin’s judgment your family is safe, happy and care about each.
Y’all are amazing hard working family also love watching y’all’s channel.Good to see barns being used,keeping barns in the family.
Sad to see it leave the family, however at least it's not going to be houses and going to be a farm in the future. You can create new memories with the resources you are aquiring from the farm you grew up on.
I sold our farm in wa. State,I never looked back! It was fun for awhile,and I went another direction.
Your family has a great work ethic. Great to see the shed materials being repurposed.
Thanks for sharing this situation--understand it better than I would like to!
Very interesting video, great to see repurposing the material as new stuff is so expensive. That’s very hard work but a group as yours tackles it no problem. Great work !!
Thanks for the video Rhonda! I think the farming business is always changing and it's great to have good memories and move forward... 😀
Thanks for sharing your story. It's a lot of work to take a building down and put it up again but you have a very strong family to do the task. Have a blessed day
Wow, it is sad that your parents farm had to be sold but it is great that you are salvaging a lot of steel and wood. It is always good to see you and you did a nice job on the video!!!!
Glad to see you are reusing what you you can for various projects. I do the same myself as much as possible
I wish you all the best
glad to see a lot of the structures are being recycled and given new life at your place. congrats. good video (as usual) dudette.
You will always have a part of the farm by you Ronda, that is a big undertaking for your family but if anybody can do it, this family can. Talk about a group of hard working people. I so admire this family.
Rhonda doing wonderful job on videos, so nice seeing guys do lots things very lot's on farm. 👍
Boy oh boy! All of that material for taking will be a nice savings on the old pocket book! And with that much material, everyone could have there own personal work shop and probably have some left over.
As we all get older, things do change. You are all definitely had working people and only time will tell if your kids will want to carry on with your farm. But thinking a little far ahead.
We all have good and bad memories of the past, but its the past! Leave it there and create and open up new possibilities for the presence and into the future......God Bless You All ❤ 🙏
to bad to see the family farm pass on to someone else but things happen great score for you guys to build on your farm happy for you
Thx 4 the video share 2day Ms.Ronda! That looks like a huge project... so nice to see all of Ur family working together on it. Proves there is not much a farm family cant do. God Bless!
So hard to see it go. So many memories 🙁🙁🙁
Thank you for sharing this video
Nice to see you guys getting all that building material from your parents old farm. I like seeing that happen rather then it going to scrap.
So interesting video!! I can't wait for the videos about "building the new barn in your farm!!. Greetings from your fan in Argentina!!
Good to see everything repurposed. You and your family are such hard workers.
That is so awesome you can repurpose the barn. Prayers to it all and lots of blessings.
Kevin and the boys are pretty resourceful.
I would've liked to see the legacy continue, but i understand the kids not being into it. I hope the family can start a new legacy that can be handed down for another 100 years.
Awesome, it nice to be able to take part of your Dads Legacy to your farm. Great job!
with the price of lumber this will help a lot look forward to seeing you guys putting up your hay barn
All that material is gonna save ya bundles of money. Thanks to you guys and all the farmers for what you do. 👏
Great stuff Ronda, thats a big undertaking, but its nice to see that it stays in the Family, good luck🙏👍🙂
Thats great that are salvaging the buildings instead of just tearing them down and burning them! Great work!! To many wasteful throw away people nowadays.
Thanks for sharing!!!
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS
Hi Ronda awesome video thanks for the info on your family farm. Drone footage was great nice to see your family helping take down the barns.
God bless
Good Luck!
Dang you guys get it done! Good job and keep up the awesome content😜
Oh wow! All that materials! The closing of one chapter is only the start to another. Stay safe y’all!
Great video Rhonda! You guys are certainly not shy on hard work!
X🏴
Great video, thanks
Great video Rhonda, thanks for sharing a bit of your heritage!! Hope your father gets to enjoy a long retirement! 😊😊😊
Hey Arces of Clay Family! Hope ya'll are having a great weekend! Sorry about the farm! Be safe and always blessed! 👋❤👍
Waouh, great and hard works for the family ! But nothing can stop this family ! Good luck and good continuation for the family !
What a cool video! Neat to see the farm you grew up on. Surely it must bring back alot of memories. It was super to see you & Kevin can use alot of the metal roofing as well as a good deal of the lumber too. Lumber/wood is so costly now!
ALL Great things come to an End. It’s Difficult for a Family Business to Continue from Generations 4-6 and to be honest, Extremely Rare to Find a Family Business between 4-6 Generations of the same Family. Your Dad sounds like a Smart Man and he made the difficult choice to Enjoy Retirement. GOD Bless! 🙏👍
How lucky to get all that stuff love your videos all good workers
Lots to come 👏👏👏. Safety favors the prepared so no worries
So sorry to hear that your parents sold such a Historic Century Farm.
Our farm also is a century farm in N.J. and I know the pride that comes with that title.
Just a little surprised that it couldn't be saved for a family member like Sidney, Ethan or McKenzie. At their age, soon they will be moving on and all 3 seem to be enjoying farm life
Excellent video Ronda with good explanation! Thanks for sharing.
awesome video..glade yall are reusing it ..
So glad to hear it will remain a farm.
I live in North West Indiana, around here a farm goes down and houses go up.
Fantastic video beautiful work
I am Glad to see that you are able to repurpose some of a family heritage. it is sad to see such farming structures just get bulldozed to the ground. i to am a 4th. generation farmer who was drawn back to the farm after a family death. My sister and I did not want to loose our heritage here . Keep up the good work and your family unity..
Your family gets things done. It would have been a shame to just wreck those buildings. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Good to see a family work together. Good godly way to live. Puts love in my heart.
Where i live and farm in newyork state 250 milkers is a big farm!I am glad you got to re use the barns that will be a big help and cost savings .With the cost of building materials and things in general we are just holding out for better times to do any expansion!Cant waite to see what you do with the materials!
Kevin and your family are great at recycling it's a great asset these days pray that you continue I'm sure that you have great projects planned for us
Sad to have to see the family farm go, but you scored big time on getting the building material. Take as much as you can of EVERYTHING. You'll find use for it some day. By the way, how you worked looked safe enough to me.
Great Video. Have a blessed night
Good to see you'll are getting to have part of the farm to make yours better.
Love you'll stay safe and God bless. Dan
nice video thanks for showing
Great video. That's a big project.
wow lots of building material lucky you have boys to help
Your family is so ingenious on recycling. You did a great job describing the process, as well as giving us your family history on the farm. One thing is the buildings may be gone, but u will always have the memories.
