    If you're going to do your own maintenance, you should invest in the proper tools, it makes every job easier. I wish they could bottle up your work ethic and sell it. You're such a hard-working, dependable, reliable person. Take care of yourself and Pops too.

    I've watched all your videos, starting with the earliest ones. Your progression in how you cover what you cover has been a lot of fun to see. Your explanations of why you do things the way you do has taught me a lot. You've wondered a couple of times about whether showing the chores and talking about things is worthwhile. In my book it helps us understand the level of effort required to do something as seemingly simple as getting milk to the grocery store. I really appreciate how you've commented on how you enjoy the routines and how they help you notice when things aren't as they should be.
    A lot of folks on my mother's side of the family are Kansas wheat and soybean farmers. I've sort-of been exposed to farming my entire life, but have had very limited opportunity to help get things done beyond chucking hay bales with them. It's something I've always wanted to experience more, but my choice of an engineering path got in the way. Your channel has helped this 63-year-old understand a lot more about the farming industry in general and dairy farming in particular. Thank you for feeding and educating the rest of us. Best wishes to your dad for his healing, and best wishes to you and your family for continued success.

    Hope the weather picks up soon and you get more sun to dry your crops out. The rain stoped us in Scotland we were getting the harvest done till the rain showed up. The brush makes a great job of brushing your silage pit. Great work Eric and real nice to see you dad out and about he is looking well. Great video Eric

    Yea... that verbal note you added when putting on that filter.... " yea I put oil on the gasket ", you said it quick and I always oil the gasket... it did not ring to me as an important item at the time... but yea... good job. Main reason for this comment is to thank you for continuing to video the routine chores. Let all the people who think farming is easy learn about how each day is mostly the same work.

I started watching English youtubers, but I didn't understand their speech ... but when I came across you on UA-cam, I immediately liked your accent and now I am learning English from your videos, I also note that they are very interesting! Good luck.

    We bunked silage wet for our cattle and covered it with grass silage/thatch. We expected it to ferment and it did. The cows loved it. This was a beef cattle and cow/calf operation, not nearly the feed sophistication of a dairy operation. Silage time, except for the yellow jackets, was my favorite time of year. We packed and pushed silage with a D-4 Cat, one of my all time favorite farm tools.

    I wonder if those cows think "good morning big guy", great hands. You must get splashed with milk every session from the strip squirts hitting the floor. You didn't say what the leak smelled like from the ag bag. It makes great moonshine. The ladies must love having their beds all made when they get back. Small wonder they are so content. Good video.

Thought just occurred today. I sometimes help my buddy around his farm and see mice sometimes, so I am curious about the lack of them in your videos.
