  • I did a shop tour a couple weeks ago, but this is the rest of the farm! Besides the shop, we have four main buildings that we use for cold storage. The majority of equipment is stored in these when not being used. Let me know what you guys want to see next before things get busy in the leadup to spring! Thanks for watching!

    You may feel awkward, but you definitely ARE NOT awkward, sweetheart! The music and you talking are angelic to me! You always brighten my dull gray winter days! You all have a lot of really neat stuff! I hope that your end up loving your new tractor as much as your old favorite! Introduce us to your kittens! What are their names? Do you have livestock? Show us those!

    I confess I love your kitchen episodes...there is a serenity in them that provides the kind of peace of mind one obtains coming to the table after working all day and having a family meal.
    Therefore, given the question, what would you like to see in the next episode, a hungry man dinner of course comes to mind.
    After thinking about it though, it may be even more interesting food for the brain to see how you calculate the market prices and subset of decision arrays you have to make every day-and-how your decisions are affected by weather forecasts.

    I was 14 years old in1971. Worked on a 900 acre farm doing cows and corn. You showed the 4020, Brought back some memories. We also had two. I learned how to drive on the JD 4020. The little red grain truck had the same pinstriping on the side of the side panels as ours was. Work hard, drive fast. Speed safely

    Old farmer from Manitoba, Canada. Really enjoy your enthusiasm for what you do. You may think you are getting all the “grunt” jobs on the farm but your dad loves you and it’s his way of showing you the business from the ground up for the future of your operation when he decides to step back a little and give the reins to you and your brother. Farming today is a business and needs to be treated as such every day be it checking market futures or sweeping up the shop. Congratulations and keep up the good work. P. S. As a dad who raised some daughters that fortunately turned out like their beautiful mom, please don’t show where you live like on the grain truck door cause you don’t know who is watching.

    I just found your site...and watched about 10 of your videos in a row. As someone from the Pa. burbs who knows nothing about farms and farming.....I am fascinated by the complexity and knowledge ( and investment!) required to maintain a working farm. Also.....kudos to you personally for being such a professional....someone with a common sense approach to life, and a work ethic......rare in this day of people obsessed with the frivolous and silly unimportant things. Farming is the backbone of our world......thanks for sharing your insights and just your daily work routine. Some may find this routine or boring.....but American's esp. need to understand the hard work, difficulties and challenges that come with agriculture.....which for too many of us seems alien. It is only because we are so distanced from nature that we see farming this way...when the reality is we should better understand life on our farms. Very impressive videos. One suggestion: While in a noisy combine.....put captains in so I can better understand what you are saying. Thanks.

    Thank you for being you and for sharing your daily life with us. During your shop tour, I notice something my dad had on his Nebraska farm back in the 1960's. It was the cylindrical metal soil thermometer with a 3/8" rod screwed into it. I used it multiple times; often every spring. I hadn't thought of that since I moved off of the farm in the 1980's. Please, keep sharing as this is soooo much better than TV!!! Feel real good about yourself as you have a great personality and kick___ looks!

    Erin, the pole barn is huge! Your family has a HUGE investment in the farm. I too came from a farming family in Tennessee. Would you do a video on how “Technology” has increased the efficiency of farming. Many people think farming is an occupation for the uneducated. YOU are living proof that is ignorant and I have much respect for you and your family.

  • @brianburgoyne4743
    @brianburgoyne4743 3 роки тому

    ERIN, you are the salt of the earth. You and your family work very hard. Farming is a challenging demanding and difficult job. I am a mechanical engineer and grew up with little knowledge of an uncle that ran a 100 head dairy farm in New England. He and his family did it all from planting, milking processing and delivering milk. I don't think he and his family ever slept. This was the 50's and 60's.
    Your dad is certainly a hard worker. I don't know what the negative comment is but sounds like someone is envious and lacks self confidence. Don't listen too the negative confidence. You are very confident and don't lose it to these losers. As far as college. inbuilds confidence, self discipline and challenge. I am sure you use your education from seed selection to negotiating crop sales.
    The maintenance of farm equipment is very impressive and pays dividends on the mechanical end avoiding breakdowns during the season.
    I am so impressed with you and your family and you will be very successful. Life is about enjoining your occupation, money is secondary, it comes with success.
    I am an animal lover and supporter too. Enjoyed the adventures of Roscoe.
    I have much more to say. It is encouraging to see you and family working together in a time when many folks your age expect entitlement.

      That's exactly what I was thinking, too. All of you are obviously very hard working and industrious, so it would be nice to learn the perspectives of other family members from whom flows your family's success in farming. You could also interview some of your farm's employees to understand their role within the company. Another idea would be to tour different sites/farms in your town and talk to the people around town to gain an understanding of how people make a living, especially farming, in a small town like yours. You're doing a great job and serve as a fine ambassador to farms like yours, so keep up the good work!

    WOW, not awkward, but beautiful. Dang, you could get lost on that place. I'm used to barns and fields where we planted corn and tobacco and tomatoes. Yours are HUGE!
