    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    This brings back memories from growing up in Switzerland and helping out Alpine farmers making hay after school and during school breaks.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!
