Your Parents should be very proud ,Most kids are in the basement playing games and your working your butt off everyday ! Keep up the great work and videos !
Tom Pemberton gave your site a plug and I watched so many of your videos now, gone back a year! Keep up the the great videos. Mountain Dew jokes funny too!
So much grace under pressure was observed in this episode. As far as the troublesome rock that had a cameo appearance, what ideas do you have for it? Add it a collection alongside a barn? Give it to someone as a gift? Auction it to your plethora of steady viewers? Use it as a doorstop?
I read through the comments and not sure it was mentioned but at the 3:01minute mark on your video you guys have a machine that grooms, scratches, massages (not sure what it does exactly other then making the lady cow feel really good) the lady cow's back and sides. This is the ultimate in caring for your cows. Though these cows are your "bread and butter" for making a living, the true CARING and LOVE you have for the lady cows is awesome and impressive. You do the jokes with the Mtn Dew cans and such but your concerns for your herd is very inspiring. Don't ever loose that quality!!!
yay...will watch tonight after supper! :) :) About a month ago I started watching whole catalog of video's beginning from the start over a yr. ago!! Am now up to 4 months ago!! Plus always watch current video when posted! yay...ya-hoo mt. dew!! :) I want to get a job with Eric...following him around all day with a small cooler filled with milk and mt. dew!! I won't require pay...just his teachings will do!! :) :) :)
The best part about a discbine is how fast we can cut fields but man it was nice having a haybine for when stuff was laying over. The reel would really help with picking it all up
That was wild, when I was a kid it was way more labor intense. Being the kid my job was to stamp the siege down while loading, then when feeding pitch it down by hand. The filling was way different also. Very nice vlog. Thank you. Oh ya, This was back in the 1940s.
I don't know why but watching the cows use those brushes you set up for them just tickles me. I love the way you put it in almost every video. Congratulations on your subscribers hitting 200,000!! Nice job.
Thanks for what you guys sacrifice (like sleep) to bring us the delicious milk! I live in the state right next to your guy’s state (Maryland) so I probably get some milk from you guys! Thanks again and keep making the great videos!
The cows must be milked! Poor things painfully full of milk, twice a day. over 7 gallons a day! That's why they are so cool about coming in, turning perfectly into the milking position, and waiting patiently to be relieved of all that weight and pressure. Amazing what you do to get us milk.
WOW.. Fantastic views on top of the Silo, Glad you are not afraid of heights .. standing on top of silo with no straps holding you AND at ten pm too 😎.. I would not make ten feet off the ground.. Glad you had a good vacation, to rest up for all the long hours you put in
here really isn't enough hours in the work day to be waiting on repairs to milk pumps. I was surprised at the size of the rock in the alfalfa field , considering it was recently tilled, seeded, atc. Fortunately the fix to the mower was quick and easy. 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜 🚜
I have been a subscriber for several months now, I mainly started to watch the beautiful Dairy cows that you have. I have watched several other channels and there are not very many at all sadly that take such Prime good care of their dairy cows. Yours all look so clean and healthy. I never see the diarrhea splattered all over the backs of their rumps and legs and feet. My happiest views are that They love to go by those rolling machines. I love how they creep up to you shyly looking to see what you're doing. I know that you work from sunup to sundown and never have many breaks in between. You have to give it to the heart of a farmer and dairy Man. Today when I saw all of the work that goes into getting your Machinery up and working properly, and then knowing that you had five to six hours sitting in the tractor cutting in raking. Plus climbing up then back down going back and forth to get things out of the barn to get things to work properly again or climbing The Silo in the heat to get things fixed at the top. I just have to day that ad young as you are, you have a fantastic and almost unheard of work ethic. Please, please wear sunglasses. The damage might be done at this point but did you know that you will get cataracts from not shading your eyes. It might help to keep the dust out of your eyes also. But every time you got out of the tractor over looking towards the sunset you spent most of your day today or when this was filmed squinting, which means that your eyes are in distress. I never wore sunglasses when I was outside and I never had a job like you where I was outside all day working and guess what? I got cataract and I have to have surgery on my eyes why are there splicing my eyes open and taking out part of my eye and putting in a little piece of something in there well I'm awake!! Is that something that you want to look forward to? Please wear sunglasses that are approved by an eye doctor to be strong enough for the style of work that you do. Blessings to you and your family that you move on and have a XI generation Farm Boy coming up here in a few years! I was just wondering, does your dad do any milking any more?
Your farm is the largest operation I have seen. So interesting to watch. You're a hard working family. I am watching your previous videos too. Best wishes.
After learning so much about farming watching Cole the Cornstar, Saskdutchkid, Sonne Farms and your channel I am so amazed that after so many years cultivating the same fields you still hit rocks! Seems they would all be uncovered by now.
You might think about having two pumps in tandem and use them on alternating days. then if one goes bad you have a spare until the bad one gets fixed. Goo looking crop of corn. Amazing how the Mountain Dew seeds sprout up where you least expect them. The ladies have their eyes on you Eric, better be careful. Great video, lost of stuff to watch and learn. thanks. Happy Father's Day to you. Sleep well.
In my humble opinion your videos are doing a great deal to educate and form positive public opinion on the value of American farmers. We urban dwellers are in your debt. Thank you!
Wish I knew where. I milked 200+ head on my uncle's farm in Michigan. 4 am and 4pm everyday. The fields were full off stones. Our tractors were an old Farmall Super M and an H. Work never ended but the most pleasurable and enjoyable time of my life. I sure miss it.
Here is an explanation for the airbags in the silo: In turn sealed silos, countervailing pressure bags also called breather bags or lungs (breather bags) limit decomposition by restricting oxygen intake; harvest, trim bags are used to control the pressure inside the silos.
I think the leaves were still a bit crinkly because of the dust but as the evening goes on the moisture will come up on the feed. 15% seems a bit low to me as we would add molasses to keep the sugar content high. Cows loved it.
I really like the fact that even if something mechanical goes bad you stay calm and you deal with it. You have an amazing work ethic.. Also congrats on 200K
I'm not a farme, However I think you ansewered your question regurding the airbags. Taking up air volume within the silo to achive lower oxygen and moisture levels is my guess. ;) Also. Crazy hours big guy. Go Family Farms!!!!
Eric , your crops look really good . That alfalfa looked really nice . You guys have a beautiful farm . I must tell you I again I really enjoyed the video with your dad . It’s amazing how long that farm is in your family . Drink more milk !
"Gota run this sileage through the cows before it becomes milk...(Sticks his hand into the sileage and pulls out a small Choc. Milk) Oh, it's magic, MILK !"
If they dont get milked in time they get nervous and sometimes not milking in time can affect milk production and cow might start producing less milk in day or two
Lot of leaf dust coming off the chopper and wagon dump first loads. No dust off the rack with the dew on Nice. We used to do lotus major hay, loved the yellow flowers We milked Grade C 60 years ago, for cheese factory
Having helped on a farm for two summers I remember cutting silage and blowing it into the Harvester. It wasn't a real tall silo but it tended to get plugged up on top and since I was the least afraid of heights I got to climb to the top and unplug it. I also have really bad allergies and back then the modern medications like Claritin and such didn't exist so it was take benadryl and carry a large hanky all day long. Good honest work and even got pretty good at backing up dual wagons when necessary...
The breather bags are what helps keep the Harvestore air tight. When the silo gets hot the air inside expands and squeezes air out of the bags, when the silo cools then the bags expand using air from outside the silo. This keeps the gases in the silo from mixing with the air outside the silo since only the bags are vented outside the silo.
Milking parlor sure looks great. The new floor pads and side panels really make it look new and clean.!!!!! Great job!! I enjoy your youtube channel. Best wishes for a strong summer!!

The joys of harvest season on the farm. I DON'T miss the chaos that was harvest time on the farm! I DO miss the farm life, & HATE the city life!
I really miss dairy farming. Your videos bring back great memories from the 1970's & 80's. Thanks Eric. Well done.
Man I bet it smells so nice fresh cut alfalfa I wish there was a air freshener with that scent have a blessed day y’all
So much grace under pressure was observed in this episode. As far as the troublesome rock that had a cameo appearance, what ideas do you have for it? Add it a collection alongside a barn? Give it to someone as a gift? Auction it to your plethora of steady viewers? Use it as a doorstop?

Aw man your second cut alfalfa is in the books before we've even started our first cut!
In Finland we just started our first cut!
Love the channel SaskDutch Kid!
2nd cut. And its not even summer yet !

Hang in there Jan, your time is coming.

I’m way down here in South Carolina and I watch your videos more than anything on television. Great job!
The smell of freshly cut alfalfa is one you never forget! Heavenly
The best part about a discbine is how fast we can cut fields but man it was nice having a haybine for when stuff was laying over. The reel would really help with picking it all up
Very good video 👌
One of my favorite smells....freshly mowed hay! If you bale it makes your barn smell so good up in the loft.

You know you are a good farmer when you can grow big rocks without even trying.
huh?
@@Drakkoo-yp8yl
I guess you did not watch the video so I will show you what I was joking about 7:40 , he hit a big rock
WOW.. Fantastic views on top of the Silo, Glad you are not afraid of heights .. standing on top of silo with no straps holding you AND at ten pm too 😎.. I would not make ten feet off the ground.. Glad you had a good vacation, to rest up for all the long hours you put in
Nice Corn field next to your weed free Alfalfa field ...... 👍👍👍
Thank you for taking us along with you. God bless.

I was just wondering, does your dad do any milking any more?
i just DIED when i saw the dew can with the "productive alfalfa right here" comment.... they need to pay you! this is a joke that will never get old
Your farm is the largest operation I have seen. So interesting to watch. You're a hard working family. I am watching your previous videos too. Best wishes.
I could almost smell it ..I love the farm work. And you do a great Job. Keep the Videos coming please
After learning so much about farming watching Cole the Cornstar, Saskdutchkid, Sonne Farms and your channel I am so amazed that after so many years cultivating the same fields you still hit rocks! Seems they would all be uncovered by now.
Freezing and thawing brings them up to the surface.
It is the müsli effect the raisines are on the top when you shake the box!!
U asking the cows "what are you looking at?" Made me laugh 😂 love the videos..... stay safe!!
Lol same
Your channel is the one of the best! I like that it's all about no-nonsense farming!
Ahhh the beautiful dewious mountainious plant. That can was ripe and ready to be picked! Nice find. 🙂
Hi from Aberdeenshire in Scotland great video as usual long day for you but very productive
Fresh cut hay and Mountain Dew! An unbeatable combination... You are rockin' it Eric!
That 's great that the cows are smart enough to get out of the way of what your doing.
Hello Eric that was some great video a little bit of everything thanks for sharing your videos 👍🇺🇸
We enjoy watching,,,and you're so patient with everything,,,God bless ya..😊
HI GUYS TO BOTH YOU, ERIC AND YOUR DAD HAPPY FATHERS DAY . HOPE YOU BOTH HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY. WINNY FROM PGH., ✝️👏😇🙏👍
Another excellent video. You continue to impress.

Poland farmer Tomek greetings 🇵🇱
Beautiful aerial view from on top of the silo at 7pm in the evening.

Milked cows some 50 years ago and remember all the work. Glad you guys have modern equipment to do all that work.
"What are you lookin at!?" That made me laugh so hard! Pretty much every single cow was lookimg at you! 😂
Great vid... I think that JD tractor is sweet looking. That’s a sweet GMC truck...
Such a long day! We surely appreciate our Farmers!!!!!!
Here is an explanation for the airbags in the silo:

Got that on google
who cares if he got it on google lol
@@Drakkoo-yp8yl i do
Ahhh what would the world be without Google
Man awesome the alfalfa has a dew growing in the field nice 👍
Like the team work you and your father do.
Wow so much to think about on a farm and so much more interesting than watching someone in an office in front of a computer ✨🌱✨🌱✨
Good job getting it done! 👍
I love seeing the cows use the brushes.
Ah, there's your Mountain Dew! I always love a view from the top of the silo and double treat. It was nice to get a night view too.
Videos are getting better as you make more and more!
U must not be afraid of heights. Great videos.
I saw you fix the machine while its running its dangerous
be careful and God bless you
I think the leaves were still a bit crinkly because of the dust but as the evening goes on the moisture will come up on the feed. 15% seems a bit low to me as we would add molasses to keep the sugar content high. Cows loved it.
I really like the fact that even if something mechanical goes bad you stay calm and you deal with it. You have an amazing work ethic.. Also congrats on 200K
You got me that time finding the Dew...love it.
Productive Alfalfa=Mountain Dew..... absolutely!!!!!!
THANK YOU ERIC,,YOU GUYS ROCK,,STAY WELL
Gotta get you some LEDs for the green machine great video I love it out there at night when you can see all the lights on the horizon
Never a dull moment, right Eric? So many things you need to know. I could smell the hay as you were raking - great video. Thanks.
love the dew find, finally does it. love watching people do this harvest. I've only done a harvest once.
I'm not a farme, However I think you ansewered your question regurding the airbags. Taking up air volume within the silo to achive lower oxygen and moisture levels is my guess. ;) Also. Crazy hours big guy.
Go Family Farms!!!!
Ya we start at 830 and go till 9
you ar the best farmer
Eric , your crops look really good . That alfalfa looked really nice . You guys have a beautiful farm . I must tell you I again I really enjoyed the video with your dad . It’s amazing how long that farm is in your family . Drink more milk !
Good to see the DEW is growing also
hi i'm brazilian and i really like your videos ❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷
"Some productive alfa alfa" *mountain dew in it* PERFECT,gotta stay hydrated.🤣🤣
"Gota run this sileage through the cows before it becomes milk...(Sticks his hand into the sileage and pulls out a small Choc. Milk) Oh, it's magic, MILK !"
Ful of sugar. Pure poison!
Who all thinks the cows knew they were 45 minutes behind schedule?!
Change anything, they know.
If they dont get milked in time they get nervous and sometimes not milking in time can affect milk production and cow might start producing less milk in day or two
@@riprock23 exactly ,and then they sh## everywhere
Those cows were fit to burst!
I do! My cats and dogs have me on a timer. Lol
Great video! Would love to see a tour of your guys old milking barn and set up!
Awesome Video and Much LOVE as Always, Keep Up The GREAT Work/Content!!!!
Great vid farmers in the UK need to grow more alfa here
I never knew so much was involved - very amazing!
I like your cow back scratcher that is so cool
Lot of leaf dust coming off the chopper and wagon dump first loads.
No dust off the rack with the dew on
Nice.
We used to do lotus major hay, loved the yellow flowers
We milked Grade C 60 years ago, for cheese factory
You guys know exactly what you are doing!! Thanks for sharing!! Peace from SW Florida 😇!!
Awesome field shots after 15:00 min mark
Those cows are like are you kidding me you got me up and now all our milk is on the floor!
Thanks for being a farmer !!
that mower is one of the most visually satisfying things,,,don't know why but it reminds me of a Star Wars B Wing,,,great videography in here!
I don’t think that we appreciate our farmers enough!
Always a pleasure to watch.
Respect for the hard work.💪💪💪
Sorry your pump is giving you trouble. Your alfalfa looks great!
Hard working men! Much love from NC! Thank you guys for all you do.

Hi 10th generation diagram I watch you ever day you are cool
You are so cool 10th generation diagram
That back scratcher is working great. I bet some cows use it more than others.
Happy Father's Day Eric !!!
