Also we cover the ideas we had along the way to improve the building and help it fit our farm. We hope you found this video helpful or entertaining. Thank you for watching!

This is a great channel. I grew up around Dodgeville, with lots of dairy farms around. I 've known some people like your Dad. He lives and breathes dairy farming, the wood cutting and all the other thousands of chores there is to do when you milk cows. I'm 66 years old now, and when I hear your Dad talking, I keep thinking that all he ever wanted to be is a dairy farmer. He has no interest in doing anything else, and he wouldn't want to do anything else. The heart and soul of Wisconsin.
So when is the wedding date. Back in the 1960's we had a granary. As a kid i thought it was great fun to watch the grinding process.
Nothing beats the smell of fresh ground feed. On our hog and beef farm we would grind almost every day.We had 600 to 800 hogs to feed.Also 40 to 60 fat cattle on hand.Our John Deere 2510 was the the tractor on the grinder.It's lots of fun grinding on a 30 below zero day.The good old days. Thanks 😊.
I hope you guys continue to grow your channel. Very good content !!
You know you guys are one of the best farm videos I've ever seen
I love it. You dad has really took to this u- tube and he’s very knowledgeable man & very hard working too
You inspired me to grind feed today now too!! I'll use my Farmall 560 just because. I like my grainery it is interesting in that some holes are patched up with old license plates (I think the oldest is dated 1926.) It is gravity flow though and I appreciate it's history. I believe it was built in the 1930's. You are an awesome family. Really smart to hold the walls together, I do the same with a chain and turnbuckle. If you wish to shell corn perhaps you can find a sheller. We used to have one and it was a pretty good option.
All tour dad needs is a cup of coffee and someone to ask questions. Let the knowledge flow.
Your dad's farm is so organized and well kept up and looks amazing. The farm I work on is a mess and needs a major clean up. Could we burrow your dad for a week to get it back on track
We had dairy cows and baby beef on our farm. My dad built a granary which had separated sections for different crops - wheat, oats mainly. Dad built that back in the 50s. We do not own the farm anymore. My dad died of cancer and my brother, and I were just 10 and 12 so the farm got sold. I still drive by our old farm and our granary is still standing. I guess that means my dad did a real good job building that thing.
Love the small WI farms. My grandparents had one in Tomah that I used to fly out to and spend my entire summers at. Miss going out there.
This is your coolest tractor yet, more videos!!
Nice granary. Don’t see em built that good!! 1066 looks good!!
When you're dead was sitting there it reminded me of going to the feed mill when I was young sure miss those days
One can tell your family came from Switzerland. Everything is well maintained and organized.👍
Your dad reminds me of mine. The way he thinks is like the farmers from the early 1900’s. He thinks of ways to improve without having to have the biggest and best out there. Love the videos and seeing your farm. Be safe and God Bless.
Great content gentleman, just found you and subbed! Great looking 66 series IH. We run a 684 and 1586 on our farm. And grandad's old Allis Chalmers, it's a 51 wd. Be safe .
My dad and uncle built a 3 bin granary in my barn. It's made out off 2×4s stacked on top of each other on the flat side. The barn will fall down around it before it will. Holds 2 semi loads.
That 1086 sounds amazing
you guys remind me of my grandfather. You built what you want with what you got. He started a very successful farming operation this way. Keep up the good work doing it your way!
