- It's been several days of cleaning out so we can clean up some barley. Gerdie got 42 years of dusty grease taken out and the container got converted for corn storage. Stay tuned for barley cutting up next! Thanks for all the love and well wishes for Elmo, we are happy he is in a great place with a good job ahead. :D Hope you're all doing well and staying safe. Thank you for being here! xx, The Bernards

merdi this old great grandad enjoys you and your family so much.you are so beautiful and witty.you have a lil clone right behind you most of the time.your skin is so flawless and oh those eyes.
You are a good farmer's wife! Lots of patience and willingness to help and get things done! I know Lawrence appreciates you! Well, he should! LOL! Be safe and keep that awesome attitude!
Another wonderfully perfect video from a perfectly wonderful lady. Thank you so much for all you do Meredith. I love your channels and IG and FB pages. I even read many of the comments on here and agree with and add a 'Like' to many of them ... but there are always a few that must hurt your tender heart - apparently written by heartless, unthinking 'know-it-alls' that think they have to tell everyone how to do everything! Aaarrrggg! Some people really tick me off with their unwarranted, un-needed, and totally unnecessary words and opinions! Sorry for the rant but it just hurts me that some people can say some of the stupid things they do to such a warm, good hearted, caring, lovely, smart, humorous, and beautiful woman as you. OK, sorry again, I'll shut up now. But thanks again for just being you and all the good that you do.
Aw thank you. I appreciate you! No worries. People will always be people. Learning to let it go

Thank you for sharing your journey, your husband is a wealth of knowledge, it's the type of life skills that's just inherently in some people an inner strength from perseverance. Meridith your incredibley inspiring for women every where especially your incredibly strong daughter watching mom from the back seat. Thank you for sharing your strengths with us.
Your cattle look very good. You guys do a good job with them. That’s the way I like to keep mine. 👍
Meredith I love your “I can do this “ attitude. You are such a optimist and I love it. Watching your video is therapeutic. Lawrence is very skilled and lucky to have you as a wife and helper.
This is a good documentary of what a farmer goes through everyday. No 2 days are alike. Thank you for sharing.
Good to keep those Gleaners clean, lot of fires get started that way.
There was a scene where you were driving through the hills with the cows chasing along side of you
and the mist was hanging over the hills. My good word, pure heaven. Meredith and LB you are so lucky to be doing what you'r doing.
I know it don't always feel that way but you are. God bless and please be safe.
Yes, they are living on a little slice of heaven, that fell to earth. Meredith is the angel! 😇
@@alan30189 amen
Great video from you, love how you are not afraid to get dirty. LB takes good care of his equipment which is great 👍. Always keep up the good work on Bernard farm.
Put the bucket half full with water. Then try it without spilling.
“DO I RABBIT IT OR DO I TURTLE IT?😎😎😎
Lawrence is like a master mechanic 🧰. Positive McMeredith and her black cattle and dogs. Love you 😍 guys....
To get rid of the "rat pee" smell, spray it down with white vinegar.
I’m an old and wife always told me I was a softy but when I watch your videos and see you and your husband working together and enjoying life it just melts my heart. They make me miss my wife even more. But I can’t stop watching I get such enjoyment and I check several times a day to see if new video is out. Thank you all for making my day. God bless you and your family for sharing it brings me joy.🙏🏻
lowell holloway I guess I have never smelled rats urine
When we park our Campers store a vehicle we put a bunch of dryer sheets inside the vehicle on a keeps the rodents from getting inside of them they don't like the smell I think
Good morning Meredith. Another great video! Have a terrific Thursday! Love & blessings, from my home to yours. Hi to all. ~ Rick
Always gotta keep around the motor clean .Seen many a combine catch fire from all the dust and chaff not being kept clean away from the hot motor.🙂Huntsville Ontario Canada 🍁
Dog gone it, LB hasn't got his shirt sleeves ventilated yet. Lol
Family fun on the farm Have a great day Be Safe
Hello ! MB & LB , I like the older hat you have on , shows hard work , dedication
Take care. A BIG. " WHOOP, WHOOP from Zeeland Michigan 😉👍✌🙏❤😊
It's always best for you to do the dirty jobs so you can appreciate it when someone else has to do it. I'm glad you got the variable speed working on the combine. The variable is used a lot during harvest.
Awesome !! Thanks
Good morning Bernard family! Have a great day.
Cattle looks great 👍
Great video Meredith
Hahaha good ole Dirty Gerdie is now clean. NICE!! LOL
Hey y'all. Good luck. I can tell your son has alot of his dad in him. He has gotten so quiet.
Dang! That boy got some long legs!
I got it today just like you'll said. Tyvm I love you guys farm. It's so cool to see a younger family doing the same things we did. I grew up on a farm but had 5 sisters so my parents sold. They thought my game was baseball which it was. Now my family my wife sold body care massages oils while pregnant Twice. our boys are grown now the memories will last forever as yours will. Ty sharing in these crazy times our politicians have lead us into. Prayers sent. I love the hat
Thank you! So glad you got it and so thankful for your support. ☺️
Farm wife is just naturally beautiful. She has one lucky husband. WOW
QUENN BEAUTYFULL MEREDITH
Good morning hope you are having a great day. Looks like you can do or learn to do about anything that needs doing. You are a wonderful person with a wonderful family. Hang in there.
Thanks so much!
While you lift your loader try keeping the bucket level by canting the lever arm while pulling back and doing the opposite while setting it down. This does it all in one motion vs stopping lifting and adjusting the bucket level. You won't spill anything out of your bucket by using jerking motions. As a caveat, say : "Barley, barley, barley, barley, barley," as you do it so you can remember what goes into the container!
I found some mice repellent called
" Grandpa Gus" It is in small burlap bags. I use it in my combine and other vehicles that set parked for awhile. It works pretty good. It has cinnimine oil in it and smells pretty good. I got it from North 40 outfitters. Have a Great Day!
It says these will help deodorize your cab too. Here they are:

Howdy i agree with john i have used grandpa gus and They work very well have a good one 👍😁
1:35 - the cows are goobering all over themselves! Wow, you see all insects! Where's the "Off" when you need it. It must be my northerner blood, I can never make out what the farmer is saying! :(
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. Good to see Gertie getting polished up ready for action. Will be interesting to see how that container works for storing corn. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
Never have to look far to find something to do. Looked like a couple productive days!👍
The flies are really bad. Do you have one of those wiper setups the stock can rub on to help deter them? That Gleaner really has a good Road Speed!
I enjoy all of your video’s. When I can’t watch because of something I am working on I listen. You have a great family and farm. 😀
that's what you call fast food sorry I had to lol
Its not like you ask the wrong question or even a bad question. Your timing just seems to be off some times. LOL Lawrence is a patience man, which is good. Your family life is really enjoyable to watch.
You need the proper attire for working on machinery because you can get cut and burned really easy. long sleeves maybe even tight-fitting gloves clear safety glasses because once you get cut or burned it leaves scars ..just saying.. think of your own line of farm hard working apparel line..ill buy some
1950 to 1953 went to wheat harvest with a New Mexico farmer he had 2 combines one was the color of your combine they called it a. Bawwine sp. the number 2 combine was a John dear with a cab. I run the Bawlin. No cab. We had 200 acc. Of wheat got blown down had to cut one way. Was very bad. Us Boys were around 14 our 15. Like your show. Thanks
Did you hear the news about Bayer? $10 Billion awarded for the Roundup/Glyphosate cases, despite apparent evidence that glyphosate doesn’t cause cancer. Makes no sense to me. Both, seed and Roundup prices will be going up (my guess). Here’s the article:
www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/business/roundup-settlement-lawsuits.html
Gus really minds LB when he tells him to get into the vehicle!
You really have some lovely scenery to call home. And you are making good such progress it's a joy to watch your efforts bring rewards. Well done to you all ! Much love from Old Hampshire
This made me think of. “Stampede “ from Tremors. Golly my husband loved that movie. Y’all have some pretty land. I love your dogs, I had a mix that lived for you to say “load up”. He would sit in the chuck wagon for so long that we would go out just to take him for a ride. I can’t wait to see your son grow into those long legs. It boggles the mind what he/they both will learn from y’all, I wish I had listened more.
I just subscribed not long ago and I really like your channel . It really is a pleasure to watch a family owned farm still operating. The corporate farmers is nothing like this . Work with what you have for the most part , have the kids and dogs there for extra help and education . I really appreciate what you do . Keep up the videos.
Another day at the farm 🐂 🌾 🚜⚙️🛠. I’m wore out just watching 🥵
Morning hope y'all have a great day.
I think the "varible speed" sheve will not operate unless the ground speed axle is moving, it is like a snowmoble.
Buy a leaf blower. It’s the best accessory ever invented for combines. Gets the chaff and dust off before it builds up and starts a fire. Had a model M and when we started using one it sure made life easier. 5 minutes at days end, then head for the 🚿!
pile of sand to practice bucket control......lol
To make you feel better, in Orlando it’s 95’ (shade) with 108’ (real feel), right now, 2:15 Thurs and my home A/C is ‘down’. Ha.! Inside temp is 88’ with fans running for my dogs..! Always something going on with everybody. Gotta love it...! Be safe,...yet,...enjoy..!
Not good! stay safe!
Meredith with all the things going on in the world today your videos are a breath of fresh air normal people doing what is needed to get the job done 👍. have you ever thought about running a finishing school for ladies that want to marry a farmer 😆 hard to teach something that is based on love thanks so much for sharing
one of my favorite sayings: "slicker than cow slobber"
THAT COMBINE CRUD IS FINGER LICKIN' GOOD!!!
I'm sure Gerty will feel better with a cleaning job and I'm sure she will get much better gas mileage with all that weight off her. That Cattle Stampede was hilarious. Cows are smart people. You always show us something we've never seen before.
How big is your farm? It looks bigger than my village.
That was good good to see Gerdie, waking up, ready for duty again, thanks for sharing your story
You we have to thank the farmer like yall for all the hard work it is never ending too.
Your kids will learn how a real man works because of your husband and you to are great teacher too.
Godbless y'all
He try’s so hard but u can’t get him out of the sixtys the thing is how do we imoprove without him to think your endear mining him take care of the kids. That didn’t come out rite he’s the boss slow change better than o change
great to see the love and care you have for machines like gertie....... well done
Look to the end of ya arm ! U got this ! #Postive #Thoughts !
We had a little hunting cabin in northern Michigan. There were farms around and one of the fields was kitty cornier across the road from the cabin. I took a super cheap summer vacation and stayed in the little cabin. The beans in the field had nice green pods. I must confess I took a handful for dinner. The next morning that field was bare, just a few roots in sight. The deer had cleared 40 acres overnight.
Lawrence has a might fine crew of farm hands! ;)
We just love your videos!! Great learning and humorous content! Glad Panda is staying 👍
Thank you!
Good morning from Prince Edward Island Canada
Morning!
Have a great day
Merat.25per Arkwright let that old gleaner sit
Always uplifting and full of fun and hard work.
To be a farmer you have to be a mechanic & a fabricator. I sub about 30 channels of all different genres & this one is one of my favorites. "I can do this", I'm sure you can Meredith & not afraid to get your hands dirty.
I’ve noticed you guys don’t spend much money on gloves. :)
I just want to say thank you for being a farmer,I know its not easy.
The Gleaner just got cleaner " see what I said"
Good morning Merde... wasn't Gerde in the film mad Max lol
Meredith you are a great person and a good woman,,
I will be watching, good luck!
yes you can do this your a country girl sooooo whats for supper.....lol
open the window let a breaze go threw,keep cool honey
Is Clara your daughter name
A day working for a living on the farm . You have to get a little dirty to show you worked today
Lawrence renovated his Corn Crib in about 10 minutes. Looks like he's got a new Qualified and Certified Operator!!
Haha, she needs a little more practice. I know a guy who might have put a little more finesse in this crib 🙃
This reminds me how much I love and appreciate my wife, who is willing to help me do the jobs I have trouble doing by myself anymore.
👏👏👏
Repairs make things better then new
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🌹🌹🌹🌹🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
I wish that I could buy y’all a brand new combine!
You can buy a nice used one for 1/2 million or so ;)
OSHA approved? Lololol not likely on a farm.
Your sauna treatment for the day.
Morning Farm Wife.. I sent you a email yesterday, don't know if you got it yet? I got something I'd like to send you, you'll love it and for sure use it
Look at you being so helpful. Awesome.
C'mon Lawrence.....shop-vac, would have helped clean engine tray easier, and thanks for relaying what LB is saying Meredith, i only get about every 3rd word, dunno if its the accent or his quiet mumble, lol.
ask LB if he has ever smelled rotten soy beans , talk about a bad smell ! your muddy dog reminds me of everytime my daughter brings her (city) dog out to the farm , he either gets muddy or he rolls on a dead animal ! lol
I smelled them at the Gleaner place in an old burnt one they had. It was terrible!
We hope so too guys!!! 😅
Go Gertie Go!!😉 Nice bean bunk!
AS ALWAYS A GREAT VIDEO. YOU GOT ME OUT SIDE TODAY. THANKS. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA
Thanks sweet lady. Take care
I meant to ask you do or have you ever sprayed the cows for flys?
Yes we do
Water is the best way to practice ur bucket work. Very proud days there always working on the farm keep up the great videos and hard work guys
I don't think more people understand how many moving parts there is on a combined. Thousands of parts. If you include the motor.
Soooo many parts
Crops are looking good. Great job helping with gertie and the container he's a great plan worked out for the corn storage. Miss Annabelle says hi 👋 and keep up the great videos 📹
I got ur CV hat yesterday along with ozzy sun glass's.... e1 loves the hat. Fast delivery I'm very pleased to promote your farm. Eat beef use butter and season it. Lol I love the seasoning I sprinkle a tad of garlic powder some my eggs taste different from everyone else... even my own mother doesn't know but she just knows I make the eggs
So glad you like it all. Thank you for your support! Enjoy ☺️
You bet you can do it.💕
Cattle can sure move when they want to. Learning the heavy equipment is always good. You just never know when something needs doing, your by yourself, and have to move something which requires the tractor.
Hey Meredith!👋 Good Morning 2 u and LB and the family! Always something 2 do on the farm!! 😂❤👍
