I was waiting for Julie Andrews to come prancing across those hills in full song ☺️
So good to hear from and see all of you - the children growing and all of you well !
Good to see you again, I can see why you wanted to move to Austria, it’s amazingly gorgeous!
Fascinating to see the harvesting technique and the amazing mountains and valley. Looking forward to future postings. God bless you all.
This brings back memories from growing up in Switzerland and helping out Alpine farmers making hay after school and during school breaks.
Simeon, I've been following your activities for some years now and I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done. I feel like I have watched you grow up and mature. Keep up the good work and I hope to continue sharing and learning with you for many years to come. If you ever wish to visit Scotland, rest assured that you have welcoming and comfortable accommodation for you and your family, here in the Perthshire hills.
Thanks SOO much for the up-date. What beautiful country and your family looks very happy.
i can't imagine working on those steep hills. All of our hay is in the barn and that is a good feeling.. Enjoy.
Beautiful, nothing like a day working and romping in a Hatfield with you family, so healthy, so good for the soul. And what beauty!! When you see this then the troubles of our time fall away for a moment. Hi, from Pacific NW, and thanks for the video, keep them coming!!!
I was shocked to see your newest video come up on my UA-cam recommendations! Before that nothing was coming up and now I see you've had three or four new videos posted. Looks like I'm going to be binge-watching!
Know all about Steep hillsides self-leveling combines are the only way here in the PALOUSE area of Washington state.
It is Wonderful to see you all looking so good and happy! I will be looking for the next video. Don' t fall down.
What a happy surprise to see a video from you!
Cheers from Tokyo
Stu
Incredible beauty all around you
Welcome back! Y'all have been soo missed!
I was so excited to see there was a new video from you and it did not disappoint, that's for sure. It's so good to hear from you, Simeon and family. You're in a truly beautiful area.
Good to see the family all healthy and happy. Those hay fields look like a good job for a leaf blower. HA
So glad to see a video from you! And so very interesting! I have watched it twice. We had an exchange student from close to Schwarz.... It would be fun to visit one day. I cannot imagine living in such a steep mountain area, much less farming! I live on the high FLAT plains of South Dakota, USA. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!
So enjoyed seeing another one of your videos. Miss you being on more often, but understand the owner's concern
So glad you arrived safely from Sweden
Wow!!!! Everything about this video is awesome beautiful scenery the weather the machinery and the smell must be out of this world, one of the best on the planet.
Thank you for sharing and stay safe 🙏
Beautiful, lush hay.
I'll bet it smells GOOD !!
Yes I totally agree
Nice to see you back man
Beautiful area - and you have sunshine! Super machines indeed.
Amazing machines, and farming terrain. Good to see you all again. God bless.
How wonderful to see you all ! God bless you , we still hold you & your in-laws up in prayer !
I can't even imagine, I can barely mow the banks by our pond because of the slope without thinking I am going to fall over and have the tractor on me. 🤣😂 But this is breathtaking for sure, almost a true vertical climb steeper than a racetrack turns! The scenery is truly amazing!
I'm sure its no walk in the park for you either!
Your little one is always such a good worker. He's going to take after his dad.
Amazing scenery and equipment . Glad to see all of you again. Hope all is well with your new location.
Hm-m-m, from an active productive farmer to a day laborer. Not what I was expecting.
It is good to see the family looking so good.
It will be super amazing to see drone footage from the Alps 😉 some day
My Grandparents immigrated from Austria - what a beautiful country and crazy to drive up and down those mountain sides. Glad you're enjoying your new home. Thanks for sharing.
So good to hear from you again. We have all missed you and your family. Hopefully you will be able to start sharing with us again.
Really enjoyed this! Good to see The family working together stay healthy.
So glad to hear from you, missed your posts, look forward to more posts from you,
It’s so good to see you again😊.
The breathtaking beauty brings tears to my eyes!!!!
The color of the sky .....there is nothing like it!
The sunlight, the greenery and a true healthy blue sky is the best medicine in the world!!!
Wow! How blessed you are!!!
💖☀️🌈☀️⛰️☀️🌈☀️💖
Good to see you and your family doing well. God Bless
those machines are incredible!
So beautiful to see your posts again! Love your spirit
There was a hay field behind my grans house that the local farmer used to mow (in the 90s) he used to gather it and hang it out on hay racks in the field to dry. We used to be on one of the last 'hills' of the alps in sankt radegund bei Graz
Thank you for filming this. It is impressive seeing the machines working at those angles. May you and your family be blessed as you start your new adventure.
The view! Stunning. I wish you and your family well. Everyone looks happy.
You are giving your kids memories they will look back on fondly, especially in times of difficulty. What a gift.
Thanks for bringing us along. Keep on keeping on
Watching old videos... This one brought me back to childhood, my grandad's mountain village and all hard work about the hay. The kid's help in bringing cool water on hot summer days was highly appreciated!
Beautiful countryside and wonderful experience for your children! Looking forward to more interesting posts!
Thanks for a very nice video. You be careful running around on those mountains; you might end up with one leg shorter than the other. LOL
It was great seeing you and your family again. Good to see you all doing good. Thanks for sharing this video with us. God loves you all. God bless you all.
Amazing way of farming, I’m really looking forward to your videos to come 👍🏻. Best wishes from Ireland
You get to see such beautiful scenery everyday! All the best to you and family from Georgia, USA.
Great to see you folks!
Thank you for the update. The low center of gravity equipment is amazing. German ingenuity! I'm glad you're all well and settling in there, and hope you enjoy the work.
Great to see you all again
Ready for more videos
It certainly is very beautiful dense hay! I enjoy following you from one country to another. Many of my relatives have been farmers. And my and those relatives' ancestors were from Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland along the Austrian border. And all those ancestors ended up in Wisconsin, USA still farming. What you show helps me connect to my genealogical past.
Wow! Great to see you all!
Wow, that is some kind of steep hill. It must have been hard to walk on all day. The kids seem to be having fun. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, thank you for showing us all how they do all the haying on steep hills.
Beautiful landscape. When I was a little girl I lived in visions of Heidi.
On our farm all the cows have short legs on one side like your animals.
Thanks again for a wonderful video. I cannot put to words how happy your videos make me.
Keep the good stuff coming thanks
So glad to see you are back. I have missed you.
Glad you are back. Missed you
Beautiful countryside! Great seeing the entire family happy and healthy! God bless your hardworking family!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
What an excellent video. Haven’t seen you in my feed for a while and glad to see you are still on UA-cam. I needed to store some ratchet straps and went looking for your video on that item.
Nice to see you all. Glad you are safe and sound. God bless you all.
You are in a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing.
Wow awesome video thanks guys!
What a view! You and your family are looking well! That is amazing how they harvest on the mountain.
Pretty amazing! So happy for you guys! Smiles and blessings...
simeon, it is so good to see you guys again!!! how beautiful it is where you're at! god bless you all!
Lovely to see you all looking well and far less stressed. Your location is simply stunning. The farm is on a terrifying slope. Bet there were some sore leg muscles at the end of the day.
Hello from Oregon! Great to see you back on video. I will let Mark know so he can watch, too.
Such beautiful a country ...
Alot of hard work..

Great video! Miss you guys 🙏🏼 Much love from 🇫🇮
Wow that is steep. The kids are looking so big! It is good to see you all.
Impressive. Always educational to see different approaches to farming practices.
How nice that you were able to help the farmer. Looks like a great experience, and maybe sore arm and leg muscles the next day.
Thanks for sharing some of the valley scenery.
Ooohhhhhhh such an incredibly beautifuanlandscape and very hard work 🌿💚🌿
What a beautiful place! Your family is so blessed.
It’s great to see you back on UA-cam.
Wow!! That is steep! Beautiful views also!
I’ve been in Switzerland at hay cutting and watch guys use huge backpack leaf blowers to push the hay down the hill and then a pass with some specialized equipment it was collected.
Absolutely beautiful country. I wish y'all well in this new country.
Great to see you and your family. I pray that God is keeping your family safe and healthy. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Many people need to see the peace you have in this difficult time.
So glad you are all doing so well. The views are so lovely. We have friends who live in the state of Idaho who do hillside farming, this reminds me of them. Very interesting machinery, looks like an enormous vacuum cleaner!
Wow that is a truly amazing place
Nice to see you and your happy healthy family, all the best from Detroit.
I am loving this. My grandmother came to the US from Austria My family is all Swiss. So beautiful.
Looks just like southwest virginia hay fields. Around the same elevation too :)
