    My compliments to Brian. He represents the very best of our generation in terms of his honor, integrity, manhood, fathering, and mentoring of the next generation.
    So much of humanity is seemingly lost these days as many people have shifted their morals to non-morality in the case of everything being pushed on society by the extreme factions in control.
    Thank heavens there are still a few good men who teach their sons to be real men. We need more men like Brian and Cole.

    Farmer’s decision making not just tillage, planting and harvesting, but when to “spray or mow” and when to maintain equipment. I love your use of duck tape, vice grips and power tools! Cole, when you responded “I can’t do nothing right” I remember telling that to my Dad years ago in his upholstery shop! Takes all the joy out of helping if you never get any positive encouragement! Keep up the good work, Cole and Brian! You two rock the YT farming scene. Cole, I love it when you keep busy….cutting up palettes, cleaning out the livestock trailer, brushing out the equipment barn, mulching up trees/brush and pulling things out of the weeds

    I mowed a field on my father’s hobby farm one afternoon and came back that evening. I walked through the woods and came out into the field and saw like fifty turkeys feeding on grasshoppers. Well turkeys went one way and I went the other way. They scared me something awful. Turkeys will feast on those grasshoppers most especially after you mow. Cole. Build up some flocks around there. Well. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. God Bless !

People used to drive the back roads and dump so much stuff compared to now, likely still find tires but, it used to be stoves, refrigerators, you name it! It was kind of fun to see you at the controls of an older tractor. Hope you get a whole load out of those ditches.

    We have big grasshoppers here in Florida, they are about 4 inches long, fat and yellow. They hatch as little black bugs and there are hundreds from each nest. They can clear a garden or field in a short time. Nothing kills them unless you pinch them in to or step on them. Birds will not even eat them.
