- Опубліковано 11 гру 2020
- Trinity Dairy's official 100th video. People have been asking for a video with an equipment tour. We go over our machinery museum with the Case 660 combine, the Farmalls, the International tractors, the Case tractors, choppers, silo blowers, new idea corn picker, round balers, and much more. It might not be shiny, but it all works! We also answer viewers most frequently asked questions about the farm. Thank you to our viewers for helping our channel grow!
Excellent video - glad you are able to keep the old iron running and making a go of things. I especially like seeing the kids helping with chores and also I understand that your wife is definitely a big part of your dairy's success. God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas and God bless!
Buying new farm equipment can be very costly and get you in debt trouble quickly, old iron that does the job is a blessing. So hang on to the old tractors :)
Politicians food processors climate fertilizer land costshurt the farmers so much
Keep it simple you have more than the richest people
I love watching your videos because I like the old tractors and equipment and you all are a great family
Thank you. Dont the negative bother you. You guys are great!!!!
Thank you! God bless!
You folks keep fighting the good fight. Please know how much people like me believe in you and support what you do! GOD BLESS!
Thank you, and God bless!
Fancy equipment doesn't pay the bills, keep up the good work!
Really enjoy your videos Alan me and my brother run a small dairy and farm in the very north east corner of Washington state keep up the good work and God bless
👍👌🇨🇦❤🎄🎅, a Saturday morning with Alan, made my day for sure
I've recently followed a variety of You Tube diaries. Yours is pretty much a spitting image to what my family does in North central Wisconsin. (Except we have no manure lagoon so in the winter we spread it every day) but feeding that silage still get a kick that we do that almost exactly the same way. One difference is we do milk our 45 cows with 4 surge buckets and carry milk in pails and use a strainer. That works ok for us. We talked about putting a pipeline in but the stall part of the barn is only 7ft. high. According to the fieldman, by the time the pipe gets to the milk house it would be like 5ft off the floor. As long as the creamery is still ok with the way we do it we will continue. I am kind of familiar with your area in that I went to college in River Falls WI. My youngest brother lives in Frederic, just straight across the border a stone's throw from you. It seems we have much in common, perhaps most small dairy farmers do. In honor of your 100th video I subscribed too. (I thought I did already and saw I didn't.... My bad) Best wishes on the next 100. Happy Holidays.
Very cool! Yeah whatever works is the way to go. After having the channel I've gotten a lot of comments from people that do things just like us or did. Thanks for subbing!
That 3 cylinder JD 820 would make a great brush hog tractor!!
great you tube channel great dairy the farm i grew up on about the same we milked 40 head guernseys and still at it our farm started back in 1935 milking . i also went off the farm into diesel tech and unfortunately i never went back to farming my uncle in his late seventies and still going at it .small dairies here in Ohio starting to be few and far between .a lot of them big factory dairies around here . keep the vid's a going i will keep a watchin . couple year ago had a 4500 cow milk operation go in not far from me that is crazy . a lot of manure and a lot of corn and hay to feed that many. just to supply milk to a dannon yogart plant
Nice collection of Case and IH tractors and implements!!
Congrats to you and youre family, i believe i missed two out of the100 so you guys do well on youre video's its so Nice to see how you are running the dairy it remind me of the early days when we were milking in the barn but i have to say ,i dont miss the Labour that comes whit it, i build the freestall in 1994 together whit the bank thats for sure but no regrets until now,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Thanks Allan for the tour and farm history, hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas stay safe 👍
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Your equipment tour was great, they get the job done, the best part is they are paid for, as you stated the economic horizon concerning farmers is hard to see now, the idea of accumulating debt is unfortunately the worry for many small farmers today, you make a wise decision to grow slowly, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family, God bless you all
Thank you! Merry Christmas and God bless!
I am extremely nervous about the incoming administrations war on animal agriculture
Us too!
That 1256 is another red workhorse!!
Those 1066s are real work horses!!
I love seeing the old equipment. Thank you for sharing your small farm with us. Have a merry Christmas!!!
Thank you, you too!
Thank you for your videos and explanations. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Buy as you can for equipment that is old is just as good as new and 25 cows hard to justify a new barn.
Congratulations on the 100th video my friends keep making the videos I really enjoy watching and God Bless you and your family and I like the older tractors and equipment.
Thank you, and God bless!
Your welcome and I forgot to add Merry Christmas to you guys also
Merry Christmas!
As I have said before this is the best farming channel on UA-cam! It is awesome to watch 40 plus year old equipment still earning its keep. You guys show that with hard work and a little ingenuity a person can still make a living on a small family farm.
If people don't walk in your shoes and see through your eyes how can they be right and you be wrong? There's always another way to do something but you make a call as you see it.
Quick question on high moisture corn. What is it and why don't you do it anymore? See a few Dairy Farmers on UA-cam using it.
Really enjoy watching you all and have a safe Merry Christmas 🎄
High moisture corn , is shelled or cob corn, harvested at a higher moisture, we did it with cob corn, which is also called snaplage or earlage, I tried to harvest it at around 50 percent moisture. We quit doing it because if the weather gets to warm, it's hard to keep it from molding, and if I don't have enough for a full year, and have to switch feed the cows drop in milk until they adjust. It does make nice feed, and the cows like it but it didn't work as well for us. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on the success of your channel! Have a merry Christmas
Thank you, you too!
I love your farm!! Its the size of dairy farms that used to dot our landscape in New York and all over our beautiful United States of America. So many small business family farms that supported so many small businesses. Thank you for sharing your farm and family with us. Congratulations on your 100th video! God Bless and Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
Nice collection of vintage tin!
Thanks for the tour. It is good to see someone use and be happy with the older equipment rather than go into huge debt. Hope your family has a Merry Christmas. BTW I liked seeing the Virgin Mary.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
I'm from southern Minnesota, I love farming and it's sad to see a lot of these farms quit farming.
Yes I agree, it's so sad to drive around and see all the farms sitting empty. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see your growing ,and putting out fine videos
Merry Christmas and God bless
I have old equipment to it is easy to work on good luck with your the best God bless yall
Great video you guys!! Merry Christmas to you all!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Really enjoyed hearing the history of your farm and how you got started milking cows.
You remind me of new jersey dairy farmers i really love your videos finally someone who farms similar to me with older equipment good luck with everything
Thanks for watching!
You and your family really inspire me to keep going its a dying thing in my County only six of us left
Oh man it's the same way around here, hang in there!!
Thanks for the video. I recognize most of your stuff from my days on the farm, finally a farmer that appreciate his audience, responds to his comments, nice to his children that are helping, and isn't too proud to receive gifts from his viewers. My new favorite farming channel!
Congratulations.. Greetings from Ireland 🥛🥛🥛
I mowed thousands & thousands of acres of hay with a New Holland Haybine growing up on my Grandfather's dairy farm here in Maine. We didn't have a lot of newer equipment. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and most of our equipment was from the 60s or 70s
Keep up the great work. You and your family represent a dying breed in our country - the small family farm. Where I grew up here in Ohio, they are almost all gone. Really enjoy watching your work and dedication to your family and farm. Thanks for brightening my days. I worked on my neighbor's dairy farm for most of middle and high school and am now a teacher. Many mornings I miss going to the barn, some, not so much...:)
Great videos. I think I’ve seen them all. You’ve got a great farm and family up there.
Thank you!
👍 Tons of respect to your family. I'm an ex-dairy farmer. You seem like a guy I could talk to all day, very conscious and intelligent.
Thanks!
Congratulations with your first 100! You are just warming up. So carry on and you will find plenty of content as you continue. Blessings to all, and Merry Christmas! Stay safe.
Hallo. Very nice Videos of simple farming . My favorite channel ,because many other have so great expensive machines and great farm ,which were do with personal helpers .
You are an true family farm !!
God bless and nice Advent time to your family !!!
Nice greetings from Bert from north west germany !
Thank you. Blessed advent to you too!
Love your show very down to earth and love seeing your kids enjoying growing up and having a good heàlthy farm life
Congrats on your 100th! I'm not a farmer but your channel has struck a chord with me - I admire the work ethic that you
have to have as farmers, all the machinery that's involved, and that your family seems like the "traditional all-American family". The content has been interesting to me, like the manure pipe saga, I loved Jordan and Justin's mini equipment tour, and the Carlton County Fair - Treasured Memories video was fantastic. I wish y'all a Merry Christmas and hope for a better 2021!
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
Congratulations on 100 videos!! Thanks for sharing and please keep them coming!!! Love the older equipment, reminds me of my grandparents farm when I was growing up... awesome memories!! Thank you for that!
Having dairy does restrict your time. Morning and evening 7 days a week for milking along with keeping up with the requirements for milk quality. I love fresh milk. It is an acquired taste. Nothing like that stuff in the grocery stores. If it came down to the bulk trucks stopping picking up the milk I wonder if it is worth it to separate the cream and sell that? Maybe even make butter? It is a niche market for sure. Nothing like fresh cream and butter for cooking/baking . The last tractor my dad bought was a 1066 Turbo. He loved it. Upgrade from a 4020. You have different conditions to farm in than we did in Lac qui Parle county. Farm life in Minnesota is tough. But, it is a great way to grow up. Builds "character". Haaa But, seriously it is a healthy way to live.
I love watching the old Iron work. Keep up the good work .From Kentucky
That was an awesome video Alan, i love the farm tour videos. If you do decide to get the old Case combine running, I would be more than happy to be part of it. Thank you and God bless.
Really nice video.alot of cool old iron.good to see there's still some old school farmers,few left around me on pei but big guys talking over .miss working on them looking forward to more videos, hopefully tractor rebuild on your great grand oa old tractor
at 25:02..............you touched on a problem many areas that are not heavily into dairying are experiencing.
Having farmed in the #1 dairy county in Minnesota ( Stearns) we have lost a lot of small dairy farms .
However, whether one is opposed to larger dairy farms or not, having them in your area keeps milk trucks in your area, feed trucks, and veterinarians.
Also Stearns is much closer to a lot of processing plants.
I grew up in Stearns county as well. Moved to NC. Miss all the dairy farms.
This is my favorite youtube channel very therapeutic .i love seeing all of your equipment
I love your channel! Keep on farming!
Congratulations on the 100th video! I think I stumbled on your channel right after the new year last year and you had maybe 100 subs at the time. I fell in love with your channel immediately. Love how you guys represent farming and how you raise your family. The both of you are a blessing to your children and it’s obvious they are a blessing to you. You are equipping them well for this crazy world we live in. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Congrats on the 100th video, they keep getting better and better.
Excellent achievement.
Kids did a nice job decorating the tree
Congratulations on the success of your channel!! I got on board back around the 200s. This business is a roller coaster compared to what it was years ago, you manage it on how it works for you!!
Thanks for sticking with us!
My Grandfather hauled milk from the can days until his death in 2001. At one point he ran 6 trucks picking up 401 grade C dairies and 179 grade A dairies around 99 the government cut out grade C milk. Most quit some decided to go grade and one of those was 78 miles out of route My papaw kept on hauling for the same rate 50 cents a hundred pounds of milk. He said the dairy farmers always got a raw deal, the man had to borrow money to keep his job. So he wouldn't rasie the haul bill because it was the right thing to do.
When DFA took over they made the haulers rasie the rate. So my Papaw would just send them a rebate check every month.
Sorry for the long comment.
Just hoping a few more people will understand how hard farming is. Especially A small dairy farm.
Your Grandfather sounded like a good guy! Thank you for the comment!
It seem the government listen to the big farms that hurt the little farmer.
@@trinitydairy he was in my eyes. Keep the videos coming.
Love the videos keep them coming
I think it's Great that you guys continue to run that small dairy farm. I'm proud of y'all for teaching your wonderful children at home school and educating them on the workings of the dairy farm. I myself milked Jenny and Beauty, a Jersey and Guernsey milk cows after my Ma trained me and realized I could get the job done at six years old. I was lucky. Great job you guys are doing. Thank you for all you do.
Looks like that 830 with the loader has a egging cab on it
Yeah, it's a egging.
I really like watching the videos,farming is in my blood as well.in my opinion no better job on earth.really enjoyed the equipment tour.god bless
Thank you and God bless!
Alan, A shed of some sort with a nice work area 👍👍 for you 👨🌾 Cool equipment tour . And nice history. Q&A.
Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family
Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours!
I watch a number of farm UA-cam videos. I enjoy them the best because it takes me back. Everyone has a different way of doing things. I like that you all have stayed small nothing wrong with that. Don’t let anyone tell you different. You guys reply to many comments and are as humble as can be. All the best and keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to you all 😊🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🎄🎄
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
My dad was born in 1917 and he disliked dairy cattle mostly because it was an early morning and late evening 7/24....my granddad raise strawberries commercially after he passed they kept the strawberries for two more years, Dad didn't like getting up at 2am to drive to market 50 miles away
Congratulations on all those subs, with your videos you're going to get quite a few more subs
100 videos well done congrats!!! Merry Christmas to all of you. The reason I keep watching your videos is that they are so wholesome. Keep up the great work! Your channel has really grown this fall.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
Alan from the uk, i love the way you explain everything it's so clear i wish you and your family a very merry Christmas
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Fantastic tour. As it's been said before it's nice to see someone not farm with all brand new equipment.
I started farming in 2013 I had nothing. I lived with in my means and I have to say I also have a decent line up of equipment like you do.
U story of how u started is so close to mine.im 70 now retired.must be why like ur videos so much.
Cool , chopper " love the older machines!!
A nice pole shed would be nice. Little bedding pack like you said for the cows when weather isn’t so great and if big enough maybe sneak in some equipment in there also lol. A farmer wish list is always growing but you are correct you need to think about the future and if the infrastructure will remain there to keep the dairy going. I do enjoy the videos I too had cows till 2016 but still farm a little and mess with a few beef. Just the days of the small family farms seem to be going away.
It sure feels that way, but as long as they keep picking up the milk, I'll be here.
Wishing you and the family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I can’t imagine how it’s possible to make a living on a 25 cow herd, but I wish you the best in that endeavor!
Thank you. It's definitely by the grace of God! Merry Christmas!
Hope you and your family have a nice Merry Christmas Allen
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
great video your equipment might be old but it works and it was just like that on our farm your doing a great job we watch all of your videos there just grand and we here wish you and your families a merry christmas
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
I really enjoy your videos! It’s great to see different styles of farming.
Cheers 🍻 love the videos 🇨🇦👍
Thanks!
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
Great tour alen!!! Nothing wrong with your equipment!!! All in time you will get their!!
Thank you!
Love the videos! Are you guys progressively growing the dairy ? Reminds me of growing up on a dairy I'm 35 I remember milking with the bucket milkers... I miss it so much! Love all the older equipment I'm trying to get back into farming I have older equipment but I keep going! With as much acreage as you have you should take some lumber and take it the local sawmill and build a nice barn/shop... keep up the good work! Merry Christmas Trinity Dairy god bless ya guys!
Yes we are hoping to grow to 50 cows milking.
People don't remember the early 80's, the wheat and grain embargo to Russia the outrageous high interest rates of 10, 15, and 20 percent, the droughts of 1980 and 1983...
I realy love your videos you and your family are great examples for every one
Thank you!
I am a first gen farmer been farming now 5 years and like you all my equipment sits outside I would like a heated shop one day so I could work on my equipment in the winter with out having to set up tarps and a heater but i have only melted a couple tarps so far, awesome vid as always.
Haha. I have an old wood stove in my shop, but the junk keeps crowding it and I end up working outside again.
My favorite part is watching you teach your kids
Your truck looks just like my 96
What a great video. I love seeing other farms. We bought our farm that hadn't seen cows since the late 70's. It took a lot of work to bring it back enough to just milk and we're far from where we need to be. I love your channel. I've certainly got some catching up to do on your videos. Keep up the good honest work. You should be proud.
Someone was watching over you then.
You seem like genuine folks and that’s refreshing. Your struggle is real, many small producers in my area were squeezed out due to increased hauling fees even though there are somewhere around 15k head milked in a 4 country radius. We were fortunate over the generations that my grandfathers starting with my 4th great all had the intestinal fortitude to spend and expand even when it seemed like a bad idea. Today we milk right around 2600, the next step is 3000 and who knows how many after that. My grandpa always told me a man can make a good living and a happy life as a dairy farmer he just can’t be afraid to look over the edge of the cliff. Embrace modernization but don’t go in so deep there’s no turning back.
I agree there. We're always looking at improvements, and we're less than 10 years away from paying the farm off, so that's our goal now. After that? Oh I've definitely got some ideas.
@@trinitydairy that’s a smart plan and an incredibly practical goal. It’s all about weathering the storm and I think the next 4 years will be incredibly traumatic. Who knows, we all might be done farming lol. Keep up your wholesome down to earth content and know that we’re mostly all in this together.
Yeah the next 4 years have me nervous. I wish you the best of luck!
wow, yea struggle and squeezed out you're too small for the board to yea 50 cows we had with the new barn 1800 head now we milk did change for us hurts when milk flood our market for the states we not able to fill out our own quotes we sign for would like to have that milk from the states stop or allow Canadian milk to flood our markets to what free trade means no stopping what we can ship? across the borders
Americans need to squeeze out the larger companies flood the market in the states
Thanks for the tour and Q&A session. Equipment that does the job and is paid for!
Wow congratulations on your 100 th video awesome job well done love all your videos god bless you all a big merry Christmas you and yours
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
I wonder if you could the head off of the combine engine and take a little oil or lubricant put it around the piston walls and tap around each piston with a peice of a cut 2x4 if that makes sense. Merry Chirstmas and God bless
I have had luck in the past, pulling the spark plugs and filling the cylinders with diesel fuel, and let it soak, depends on how bad it is, but pulling the head and tapping the pistons is a good idea also. Thanks for watching!
Nice tour!
I appreciate that you answer questions & comments. Thanks father equipment tour!
We try to get to as many as we can
I didn't know that new idea even made a square baler. Dairy farms require so much machinery.
beautiful tree ,mantle and manger scene.... we gonna celebrate in 12 days.....
great video, thank you
Great tour! Nice farm👍
congrats on your 100th heres to the next 100 happy christmas guys . Really enjoy the vids keep them coming cheers
