  • Life on a farm is a load of crap! And I have TONS of it to move today! To make the job easier, I bought a new tine bucket for the Farmall 656, and it works great. Afterwards, it's time to feed the cattle (they look a whole lot shorter, BTW), and take care of other chores on the farm.

    Hey Pete 👋 I'd definitely watch a 15 minute video of you trying to open a gate. It would be full of wonderful facts and figures of the breaking strain if differing chain sizes and the best way to use bolt cutters, the history of 'D' clips or carabiner's and the best way to screw in base boards for deep bedding packs. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video as it was,,,,OOOH ‼️ the sneaky peek of the MD with the lovely white decals....beautiful and shiny. Take care and all the best from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤. PS God Love Hillary for doing all she does for everyone ❤

    As a young boy, I remember Dad never liked to see Grandpa come visit, after coming for a day & touring the farm with us, he commented " them calves shouldn't have to worry about high water & the corn ought to do well, its got plenty of grass to feed on". In later years, I understood why Dad felt the way he did.

    I was raised on a farm in the 50-60's. This was a task we did in the spring and again in the fall. I can still smell that event! I loved growing up on a farm, but had not interest in making my living that way. Spreading manure was the source of a family legend. My Grandpa had a habit of showing up at my folks farm to haul manure on Thanksgiving morning! My mom and Grandma took exception to that, which may explain why grandpa continued to do it. He had an old John Deere "A" ( SORRY PETE) with a single front end and a cable driven loader. I was never allowed to use it, because it was very easy to tip over. I have no regrets about not farming, but your posts are fun to watch because they do reming me of those days and the folks who were there.

      @@johnwythe1409 "Smells like money" was the not too literal reply you made to people's disparaging remarks about you being a pig farmer. When working with pigs one soon becomes nose blind to the smell, and the stink will get on you and stay on you without your being aware of it. My cousin told me once he got cleaned up and went to town and sat down in a restaurant. The people at the next table asked the waiter to find them another table for them to sit at.

People are afraid that the 1973 fuel crises would happen again but this time it would be far worse then in 1973. It's not a joke and I try not to think about it.

    Hi Pete, first time commenter, medium term lurk. Have you ever thought about the Joel salatin deep bedding method? Basically what you've done but as the bedding builds up he puts corn amongst the bedding. The cows will stomp silage / hay int the bedding too as waste fodder. After the cattle leave, he introduces the pigs. The pigs then turn over all the manure and bedding/wood chips and aerate the compacted manure. They do the tractor's work in other words, without moving it to a pile elsewhere. It speeds up the decomposition rate and gives the pigs a job to do so they can earn their place before they're butchered. Keep up the videos, I really enjoy them.
