    I sure would hate to think what this world would be like if there were no farmers in it. Thanks to you and all the other farmers that put food on our tables.

    Very nice video, your farm reminds me a lot of our farm. We've never fed corn fodder bales before but it looks like the bales are pretty good for the cows, especially with the cold winter weather. I suppose it helps keep their energy and protein levels up.

    Twenty five years ago I sold John Deere tractor parts and I remember the seasoned parts salesman said " John Deere stands behind everything they sell except the manure spreader." Amazing what you remember!

    Holy crap, havent seen a PATZ barn cleaner since the 70's. All the small dairy ops are gone, farmers retired. Rest got BIG.

    Always something to do on a dairy farm. People do not realize it is a 7 day a week lifestyle, not a regular job.

    Isn't it loads of fun when the gutter cleaner gets filled with water and you spend half a day bailing out the water with a 5 gallon pail?

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  11 років тому

      Actually, we usually just throw some silage in and that pushes it out fairly nicely. There have been some pretty nasty cases of flooding though.

    • @jpmeyer95
      @jpmeyer95 11 років тому

      We'll do that once we get about 3\4 of the water gone. When ours fills up with water it gets filled full.

    Wow looks like a lotta work. Glad I raise beef cattle. Just keep the round bales out there and let them go to town... (well, and it helps being in south Texas where we only get maybe an inch or two of snow every 5-10 years... )
    Later! OL J R :)

    That's a bummer you don't have free natural gas, so many farms in my area still have rights to minerals and gas. The main barn and farm house are kept toasty warm all winter long

    You should know what you are feeding the cows. I take it its not an organic operation.

    • @rogerwilson9361
      @rogerwilson9361 8 років тому

      +John Ford organic mean grass feed they do allow the cow to pasture in the summer but there is the reason called winter and also they keep there cow in during the winter so it hard just to feed grain and silage cow do not get much food value without mixing in the feeds in which he was speaking about.
