I recently subscribed to this channel and am so glad I did based on the content. It is my first farming channel raising chickens. I really enjoyed the packing video, very interesting to see how that works. Tucking videos are good especially when you get to the elevator. Thanks for posting!
I would like to see how the chicken barns work,is there someone packing eggs 24-7,if not how do the eggs get stored when no one is packing,where do you sell the eggs to,contracted? How many eggs a day are produced,life expectancy of a laying chicken,when replacing chickens do you raise your own or buy them when they are old enough to lay eggs,why and enclosed manure storage with fans and not a storage area with a roof an open sides
@@billsauberlich7337So we start packing around 7 when the lights turn on and that’s when the chickens start laying, we pack over half a millions eggs a day. So, 52 pallets with 900 dozen on a pallet I think. So we can load to trailers a day and be fine on storage and we just haul them up to an egg breaker plant and they get broken there!
That’s a lot of omelettes!! Lol. Looks like a nice setup at the chicken barn. I would like to see more of the operation. But we don’t want to offend people. I get it. Have a great day.
@@FehrsFarmingOrganic- You know that ALL vegetables are "organic", right ? The genetic make up of all vegetables is the same no matter the farming practices used to produce them . Right ? I am not pulling your leg or trying to be a smart_ss on you . I am trying to keep things real . I own and operate a small family fresh produce farm, 225 acres . In my area it is small . Prime horticultural soil in the Chateauguay Valley . Some of our neighbors did try the "organic" ways and most have quit for various reasons . I have no problem with farmers that laud the "organic" way until they get revenues from selling the ideology and/or do not share the sources of their revenues, yields and other important data relevant to the reality of going "organic" . See ... Personally I have been head of the family business for the last 42 years . I know the business and cannot be BS-ed easily . I am not saying commercial farming is all good nor am I saying "organic" is a fraud . No ... It is real and surely deserve some attention ... But a lie is a lie no matter what side it is coming from . Right . So all vegetables are organic and there is NO, NONE, NADA, aucune method to figure out if a fruit or vegetable has been grown "organically" or not . Just so we settle the lying bit . Good day ps: 100% of our revenues are from the sale of fresh market produce ... No YT, no courses on line, no books, no OnlyFan stuff ;) LOLOL ... Just quality produce on quality soil that we take very very good care of . Later good people and ... Let me know if we "reach" on a certain level .
@@Noah_Fehr- I studied, heard and know about GMOs . So what's your point ? There are many different kinds of GMOs ... It's like you asking "have you heard of genetics" . So ... Again where do you desire to go with this comment of yours ? You wish to address the dynamics of decay of certain molecules within plant cells ? You want to make a case against acquired resistance through human selection and selective breedings vs laboratory splicing and DNA alterations through genetic R&D . You want to address pesticides, fongicidal agents natural or man made, seeds DNA incorporation vs selective hibridization programs ? There are more GMO processes than there are various medical fields . So ... Yes I know about GMOs . I know about vaccines, modern advances in biotech and overall improvement in human health after the farming & industrial revolutions . Old ways, traditional knowledge and nomadic lifestyle of homo sapiens were NOT "the good old days" of humanity . The myth of a holistic return to a LowTech farming being a desirable adaptation for our species is ... Just that , a myth . Human beings live better lives and are healthier because farming evolved and R&D in agriculture is like all other scientific endeavor ... Based on acquired knowledge through experimentation and peer reviews . Ps : I do not have access in Canada to GMO seeds because our marxist gov. has been polluted by religious zealots that prefer VOTES from poets and bards than peer reviewed science . I have to produce my crops without the tools most other nations have access to . I have no market protection and have to accept being less profitable in yields and quality . This is a fact . There are many GMOs ... Most people are engaging the matter have NO idea what they are talking about ... Resharing an internet meme on bees and a dying Earth is a crass display of ignorance . Anyway ... Why do you ask ? ;) LOL No anger here ... Just ... a good civilized exchange of ideas between farmer friends . I am NOT your enemy . You know that already . Later Noah .

How many tons manure do you get a month? I have an organic pasture chicken house. 50x530ft with 45 acres for the chickens 😅
I’d love to see your chicken set up and I also would enjoy the trucking!
Noted!

Remember, it is always Fehr weather.
Organic vs what ?
Not organic
