One hint, Jan -- in mid-January, when it's -40º and windy in Saskatoon, schedule yourself for a tour of a dairy farm in southern California of Florida!
I am a dairy farmer from Romania, europe, and i want to see as many as possible different farm models, i allready learnt a lor from you. Keep up the good work 🙋♂️
I will check on your channel and see if you have videos of your dairy ? The best thing about UA-cam is how it shrinks the world. With the videos we become more like neighbors and friends.
Hi Romania from California, USA
I had a look at your channel. It seems that you are an accomplished saxophone player as well as a dairy farmer! I enjoyed the dance by the Boiu Village Dance Troupe. Please do make a video of your farm also. I wonder if your Dance Troupe has ever competed in the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales.
@@andrewjones-productions unfortunately my dance troupe has stopped the activity and that video on my channel is very old, when i was just started to play the saxophone, now i just go to private parties, weddings and other like this. I am just at second generation of dairy farmer, i just started with my dad like 5 years ago we don't have so many things to show and i really don't have time to making videos because my free time is for practice and learn more about new saxophone techniques.
Great tour! Show more farms! You should go across Canada doing it as you get the time available to do so. Congratulations to the farmer for having everything well thought out and contingency plans in place for all aspects! Not going to have to worry about manure spills on that place.
Yes more field trips for sight-seeing other manage systems including calves. It's all into the small details as noise, light, ventilation, energy, cleaning, reserve systems feed handling and such, Jan. Thanks!
Wow, I wish my dad was alive to see this. He wouldn't believe today's dairies. Pretty different from what he grew up on when his dad came from Holland in about 1900.
As someone that grew up on a dairy farm and has worked on a few different ones. Something I will never turn down is a barn tour.
It’s cool to see a brand new farm and also cool to see how everything is built to the max so you don’t have to worry about expanding or extending
Would like to see other Dairy Farmers, thanks for this video.
i like the cut through slot in the fence no chains no gate to be left open
also a quick short cut to reach a problem area.
Also a real incentive to the farmers to NOT gain weight & a pot belly!
Well now, that was very interesting. Glad you came up with this idea, it's a fantastic new concept and a great way to educate those of us who are not as familiar with dairy farming. This is a great addition to your videos, and I personally would like to see more of these tours that you are doing. And a happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Save me a couple of slices of pie, I'm not too fussy on which kind.
He was very generous of him to show new barn.and to.,see it in process.
Always keen to see other farms and how other farmers manage their farms and cows. Thanks for taking the time to show us this farm and making your videos to share with us.
More farm tours would be amazing. I was hoping to see more stuff like the heifer barns, calf barn and the actual free stall barn more. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the channel
Its cool to see that they have these parlour's also in Canada. I have been milking for more then 5 years now on a daily basis in a 60 stall rotary parlour here in the Netherlands and it works just amazing!
Absolutely would love to see more tours of nearby dairies. My husband and I enjoy your channel. Takes me back to my childhood with my grandparents on their dairy farm in Kansas (US) years ago. Times have sure changed on the dairy farm.
Grain is always good to give to cows while they are being milked, whether it's in a rotary, herringbone or robot. Not only does it keep them pre-occupied (so more calm) it also makes them want to go into a stall or robot without needing to be ushered. Feeding grain will also increase their energy and nutrient levels so they will produce better quality milk. Eating also releases serotonin so they will drop milk more quickly and helps to stop cows getting hypercalcaemia.
Seeing more of the dairy tours would be fantastic. I am not a farmer but am an avid watcher of many farm UA-cam channels. As such, I don't possess some of the working knowledge of how things actually get done. I would have enjoyed seeing more of how the cows got into the rotary milking stations and how they left. The feed system while milking was interesting. Can you show more of how things get done. Great video. Thanks for doing it.
Absolutely, that would be awesome to see and tour other farms! To me it's a natural progression for your channel to show the good things that are happening with dairy farming. It really gives you a platform to be a positive influence on the dairy community and industry.
Always, loved the off farm tours. Liked how that first cow was excited. She was, look I'm # 1.
I like the dairies that are computerized and the cows go to be milked when ever they want. I am not a farmer but enjoy seeing where my food comes from And how the animals are cared for
Would be nice to see one of these in operation.
Milk Yoghurt Cheese Cream all comes from Cows.
That was very interesting. Yes please your the different farms. They take great care of their cows like you do. I would have liked to see the ladies getting on and off of the rotary milker.
Amazing facility. Thanks for the tour other such visits would be much appreciated
I love merry-go-rounds for cows! So fun to watch.
A great idea you had to show other types of dairy. Thanks to them for taking us on a tour
Yes, I Wanna See Various Farms. You Can Call It "Field Tripping With SaskDutch Kid" Series! 🙂🙂 I'm Not A Farmer, But I'm Totally Interested On How Different Farms Operate. I Think It's Fascinating!
Thank you for taking us along, and thanks to the dairy farmer for showing us around. I am very impressed at how everything is kept as clean as possible. So difficult when milk and manure production occurs only a few inches from each other.
That must be a huge investment. With your long cold winters making enough silage and hay must be a huge task.
This was a great idea. If you can swing it and you can have fun yourself, please do this again.
I love checking out all the dairy farms
Thank you for the visit to this farm. Very interesting. Yes please do more tours to other farms.
I absolutely loved this! What a fantastic parlour! The first cow running into the holding area reminded me of UA-cam subscribers who race to just write 'first'! 😂🤣
Good to see some of the older Canadian outfits, and how they are coping with modern food production needs.
Great videos.
When WE were in Canada visiting our family. We went to a Robotic farm on Sumas way Abbottsford B/C. Take a look the cows just went in themselves to be milked. Was great to see this.They also had chickens where the coop open~d and closed at dawn and dusk on a timer .Was magic looking around this farm. Worth a visit sometime.Cheers.
The dairy tours would be awesome,as long as you are taking the tour with us.
Hi Jan, as long as you're or your sister are the tour guide i would love to see more like this! no matter what stay safe and keep well!!!
when that cow came running into the parlour high kicking you know they are well looked after and enjoying life!
Very sophisticated operation. Combined with many technologies.
Sweet! Great farm and thanks for caring about the cows.
Would love to see other dairy farms.
was good to c a big farm operating i wouldnt want to work there with the noise from the fans nd the pumps sound sto noisy,but everything else looked great. the 1st cow who came running in made me smile thou
That beautiful dairy seems to be in the middle of nowhere! Nice flat land too! I liked how that young man was thinking of his future with room to grow and structure built with that goal to fulfill his big dream!
Yes, more tours please! It is interesting to hear of their family history, too.
Questions to add interest: (for new ops) What are some changes--if any-- you would make in hind sight? What is the best new upgrade you made?
Would like to see more Canadian Dairy farms.
Different farms is nice, as long as you keep us up to date on what’s going on at your farm.
Also could you tell us if the farm is owned by a family or a corporation.
It was nice to see the sand being reused.
Really nice to see how you farmers look after your animals. Calves are very cute.
Another awesome video on a different farm . It’s great to see how other farms in the area work also. Thanks for sharing this with us all.
Yes, a tour of different farms would be awesome. 👍👏✌Great tour by the way.
Interesting to see other farms! Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
Yes,,,very good idea for field trips,, neatest parlors yet..and he was as honest,and humble as you Jan..nice to take us along...
Touring other farms sounds like a great idea. You are really into creating a special channel. Loved the tour, very impressive farm. Thanks.
this is a great video Jan, thanks for taking us there. the cows look very happy.
Yes, we'd love to see such farm tours from your channel
I'm really interested in seeing different dairies. Thanks!
I love this bring on the farm tours I know how I’m voting for elected officials. I f they aren’t for Ag big and small I’m voting against them. These videos of your help me and others stay informed and current. Thanks!! Top notch journalism. Proud of you!!!
Would love to see a dairy farm who has their own creamery. I'm from Ontario close to Oxford County and we have a few around here. Love your videos!
Oh yes that would be nice. Thanks for the suggestion!
These tours are very informative, Jan! It's pretty cool seeing different ways of doing things! Great job, those cows were happy!!!!
Great tour. Really enjoyed the video and seeing a differnt farm. The guys have put a lot of thought into it and it looks like a really good setup
Yes, would really like other farm tours, it's great to see the different set ups!
Loved seeing the first few ladies almost running up to the rotary.
I grew up on a dairy farm, I'm 71 now, I haven't farmed since I was 24 though. But I love looking at these huge setups. Keep them coming lol.
My first thought seeing the cows on the turntable was, oh my! There’s no protection between the worker and the back end of the cow when applying the suction if it decided to relieve itself.
Keep up the great work. These kinds of videos are way important than anything We’re bombarded every day from the media.
Thanks and God Bless.
I'm originally from a very large farm in Alberta. Many of my relatives still have farms. This was pretty cool to see. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers! ✌️🇨🇦
Wow. That's awesome. Very expensive setup. Beautiful place. You guys in Canada 🇨🇦 sure know how to dairy farm. Keep the videos coming
Very impressive operation! Yes to more larger farms and operations!
Wow that guys farm is awesome especially the whole separating the sand from the manure and recycling it very kool u definitely need to bring us on more tours please
A nice addition to the tour would be an examination of the economics of the farm.
I would love seeing more dairy farm tours from across Saskatchewan and maybe Alberta and Manitoba. Seeing the different ways of building, what works best, and all the pros and cons.
Thanks for another great video, keep up the great work.
Very interesting video. Thanks. Nice to see different setups and ideas of farm management methods.
The robo milker, with cows that walk in themselves and the robot does everything is awesome, along with the feed robot that sweeps the food closer to the cows, and sweeps the much away, Tom Pemberton did a great video on it.
That was awsome please do more.its nice to see how other farms work.thank you Jan be safe stay well.
from the USA here on the East Coast.
Absolutely, dairy farm tours are so informative😊
That would be cool to see other dairy operations in Canada keep up the great work kid really enjoy your videos.
'Touring' other farms would be really interesting. Those cows were super excited about getting milked!
I wanna know more about the orange tags tho, about how they work.
Where I live in Minnesota there are no small family owned dairies left. I wouldn't even know where to find a family dairy here. All the dairy farms around here are gone. We do however have a couple of huge dairies within 30 miles of where I live. One has 9500 head & the other one has 11000 head. The 9500 head dairy cost 50 million to build according to news reports. They have on site living quarters for the workers. They raise 6500 acres of feed for the cattle which means 6500 acres of cropland not available for the local farmers. Thanks for the tour & I would love to see more tours.
Yes! More farm tours! Excellent Dairy!
Yes, I enjoy seeing different farms, different style of operation. More details would be ok with me.
Since the cows are being fed while being milked, I wonder if any of them try to stay on for a second trip?
Regarding "the second trip", cows really try do it if they have the chance even in robot milking free range, but the tag collar check when they was there last time and don't allow them more feed or let them in. In robot milking we have a sluice gate system so they will get back to stable instead of into the milking robot with the yummies again. Some stubborns can stand in queue a big part of their days, but they get exercise by going round a lot! :D
There are usually 1 or 2 cows determined and sneaky enough to stay on a second time around.
They only get 8 ounces (225 grams) of grain -- that's about 2/3rds of a can of soda pop. I think most cows will have eaten that all before their 10 minutes on the rotary is done. If the grain is all gone, and they don't get a second helping, there's not much reason to stay on for a second go round.
Yes !!!! More farm tours !!! We will be with you !!
Love the cleanliness, concern for the cows, and comfort...awesome
i would love to see more dairy farms . i love how they are all different. keep up the videos coming love to see you and the cows .
Sask Dairy Farmers Rock! The commitment to quality and excellence is amazing
Yes Jan! Getting out to see other farms is another way to show your personality. I should lead to some fun interactions ... Love the idea! Great work as always...
It would be very nice to see other farms. This tour was excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Always nice to see at other farms, would like to see more Jan. Beautiful country that Canada
Some of these farms you show make the couple I worked at almost prehistoric in design. We did everything manually except the actual milking. Made for some long ass days and a lot of loads of laundry. Our days started at 4:00 am and ended at 6:00 pm if things ran smoothly. I loved the people I worked for and they treated us fantastic. From there I went to living in a big logging camp as a choker setter in the Olympic Mountains and thought logging was easier work. The best part of each was the food and long hot showers.
Yes, more farm tours. Great video.
Wold love to see more farms , Man what an incredible facility they have.
I agree with you, they are beautiful and absolutely amazing to see. I have seen many.
Love seeing a variety of dairy farms! They're all so different and we can learn lots!
I love this idea of seeing different dairy farms. Great idea!!!
Thanks a lot. Very impressive. It would be nice if you continue doing these tours and share the layout/blue print of different farms.
Please keep up the good work!
Wow thats a sweet facility I like the sand management setup thats interesting
Field Trips, Please. Thanks for the vids!!
Yon.
Sounds great to see how other farmers live and farm. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full.
Awesome, great to have insight where our food is coming from and can appreciate the infrastructure costs. Would be interesting to compare our quota system to the US free for all.
As an ex-pat from Southern Alberta, I have really enjoyed your UA-cam videos. You do a great job of taking us with you and explaining what goes on around the facility. At home, it was my job to milk the family cow and do the chores. I would like to see you give us a tour of the milk collection, processing and distribution to get it to the table. Milk, cream, butter, cheese, etc.
Also, you have a great future as an advocate for rural foodstuffs producers. It would be great if you could produce a series of videos that could be shown in every school class in the country. City kids have no idea where their food comes from. I have a bunch of other ideas but this will do for now. Keep getting up early. Gwen Sherwood, an old-timer living in Utah.
Yes the farm tour would be awesome! Please do it!
I would love to see more farm tours.
Greetings again from London mon-amis. Touring lots of farms sounds like a FAB idea for more videos .....:)
What an awesome operation. Gotta give loads of respect to this farm. You can tell they love what they do and have lots of love and respect for their cows. Happy cows = delicious milk. Lol. Also the sheer size of their barn is insane. Cows as far as the eyes can see, haha. Just imagine how much that thing had to have cost to build and equip.
Anyway, it's amazing how far technology has taken the milking process. I can only imagine what milking parlors will look like in 20 - 30 years.
And, anyone who thinks these cows are unhappy and/or treated poorly... Just look at the cow that was coming in to get milk at 9:22. See how she's running and jumping around like a little kid? That's a sign you have some happy cows that are clearly ready to be milker and get their snack of a half pound of yummy grain. 😁
Yes would love to see other farms.
I would love to see different farms!
Edit to say...the sand system is so impressive!!
yes ! Would love to see some farm tours !
