I’ll be 62 years old in June. I grew up on a dairy farm through the 60’s and 70’s. I started driving tractors and working the fields the day I graduated 3rd grade. It makes me proud to know that there are still young people out there growing up farming and enjoying it.
@@Ryanm1565 Both of you should start a channel. Eric is a great example to follow on how to build a channel. Be yourself and show what you do and what you know. Young farmers like yourselves have a lot of knowledge to share with those that are interested in learning.
Weavers coming through with the demo tractors. Fame has its perks. They picked a good guy to advertise with. You deserve it. I like the longer videos. Thanks for your time and effort making them.
The longer videos are absolutely awesome. I can’t say it enough. Truly appreciate the effort you put into these videos especially the longer ones. By far my most favorite channel is this one
You have an awesome work ethic. I’m not a farmer but have learned so much watching your videos. Your dad must b very proud. U make the best u tube farming videos out there. Always watching from Maine. Good luck.
The new Massey is good looking, for sure. Neat that you get to demo it for us! And I always enjoy your choice of background music when you're flying the drone. Those are the best views of the field work your'e doing. Glad the triticale is doing so well. Thanks for another entertaining video!
We used to do ag bags alot when I was a kid.... my family was always creatively spray painting them.... Got milk with black spots, a Caterpiller one year, and after 9/11 it was red, white and blue with God Bless America on the side! Keep the videos coming and It's nice to have a longer video every so often!!
Awesome looking tractor Eric. Good luck with it. Another bunk or 2 would seem to me be the most economical and much less susceptible to weather (wind, tornados, etc) and you don't have to climb them, maintain the unloaders or "level them off". Great video today.
As a guy who has to work bunks (ours are 3 to 400ft by 200ft) that are almost 30 40ft high, the amount of spoilage we have is unreal on top of that the risk of a pile cave in or slip and fall risk makes you wonder how many times your gonna get lucky I wish we could just blue tooth the feed into the cows stomachs lol
@@anthonypoquette8018 moisture, innoculant, packing, and covering quickly with high quality plastic. In that order. With a good O2 barrier. Not that hard. Just can’t half ass anything. Of course ma nature can always throw a wrench into it!
There must be a monster engine on that silage blower. I can not believe how much triticale it can take or how fast it runs. If I tried that, I'd spend the next few hours unplugging the pipe. Unfortunately, I have a lot of experience doing that. Great video Eric. I imagine being so busy, the time really flies by.
I think the same thing every time that blower shows up. I think Eric had said a while back that the custom operator had built the thing. I am also impressed when they are positioning it and connecting the pipe that it is also self propelled and they do not need a tractor to maneuver it into place.
I like how clean you keep the farm. Lots of farms around me are just a mess with old equipment discarded everywhere, overgrown grass, mud from end to end, etc. Now you just have to get an automated washing machine for the cows. A farm near me installed one a few years ago and claimed their yields went up, infection and pest management better controlled, etc.
I really love those aerial shots, good view and contrast of size for your equipment and fields, great music with it too. Those Massey's are nice looking, mercy would I love to have one, don't need that big of tractor for what we do. Looks like the field at the Quarry farm has Olive bushes encroaching on it. Great video, thanks for sharing, have a great week.
Another outstanding video, Eric. Not too long. You are a hard working and knowledgeable farmer. Big machines and skilled men make for a good harvest. Really like the aerial shots and how you put your videos together. I know it takes hours of work to film and edit a good video like this. We learn so much. God's blessings on you and your family.
I was absolutely thrilled to see such a long video today from you. I love to see such a well kept farm. Thank you for the hard work and sharing with us.
Thank you for dedicating your time to these videos. I've gotten semi addictive to your content lately it's in my regular rotation of nightly videos sometimes an older video sometimes newer. You have satisfied my 50 some year-old brain on being a farmer of any sort let alone dairy, I am living vicariously somewhat through your vision of a 10th Gen dairy farmer. Thank you for what you do, and I have to say as someone who works with building automation systems keep going with the robots/digital automation of your farm it will help you in the future in my opinion for what's it worth. I also want to thank your father he obviously has had some influence on your outlook of life and your work ethic, I get some hope for our future seeing the next generation of adults actually adulting, but then again it might just be my aging brain. I hope you the best and to your family. Subscribed as of tonight, I know what took me so long:)
Hi I sure enjoyed this video. In my youth I worked on dairy farm putting up 300 ton of hay each summer and chopping silage back then.. That was during the mid sixties.. I miss farming and still have fond memories. Things have changed much.. I wish more folks could or watch your videos.. It is important so people see what goes into farming.. I appreciate what you do and thank you for a great video. ☺️👍
We make all our forages in ag bags on our farm and one suggestion I'd make is to roll the end flap on them underneath then dump the dirt on it. We've found there's less chance of it spoiling on the end
Eric! Great video. I love that you try new things but always have a metric to evaluate them. Trust but verify. Man if I rep'd any product you could use and I believed in it, you'd get no rest until I got a free trial out of you. Your channel, you and your dad, are a bacon of hope and a testimony beyond measure. Yet you stay just regular guys. Wish I had better expressions of my heart in this, it's the best I can do tonight. Thanks for all the extra work it takes to do this my friend.
That was a terrific video thank you. Lays things out for the non farmers as to what and how much goes into just a few days on your dairy farm , let alone the milking. Glad the weather held out for you, betcha your daughter is growing fast also. Oh and what a rake!
Busy time on the farm. Hard, long working days! You look good behind that tractor! Awesome aerial shots, the music is appropriate. GOD BLESS , tnxs for feeding USA! Regards from Ohio
I am so fascinated by every video!! All the machinery you guys use is so interesting. I love the harvests, the milking process, the calves and all of it really. I would like to see your family in a video. Keep it up!!
I hope you will continue to show us your traditional cooking. It’s better than watching all those world famous chefs . Also your traditional attire and lifestyle are so wholesome , healthy and peaceful. It’s very soothing watching your videos . And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Hi Eric, although I always watch and like all your videos, I am not one for saying too much in the comments, but this time I just had to say your such an ambassador for farming with your work ethic. I know from experience the work that goes into dairying and the production of forage and crops for feed and the hours you and your dad work is outstanding and you also managed to produce and edit a 37 minute video. From Scotland thank you very much for all you do!
I don't mind a longer video. When you are as busy as you are we appreciate any video that you are able to give us. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
Beautiful farm and such a great operation yall run. The crop looks awesome. Your herd is well fed and taken care of for sure. It is amazing how clean and organized your farm is and the herd taken such good care of compared to some of the other channels.
You were crazy busy. Great educational video. Super camera & drone work. In our neck of the woods we’re lucky to get 3 cuttings of Alfalfa on the dry land. Generally it’s 2. Really Nice Farmstead
When I was 16 or 17 years old I was cutting and hauling corn silage with a G John Deere. I was pulling two wagons at a time hauling it back and forth to the farm and field. A bolt that connects the steering worked loose and caught on the hood of the tractor causing me to hit an embankment breaking the front of the tractor off. The loaded silage wagons pushed the tractor sideways blowing both back tires and tearing the front end of the first wagon out. When I hit the embankment it threw me up out of the seat. Both of my legs hit the steering wheel keeping me from being thrown off the tractor. Luckily it didn’t break my legs. Farming is a very dangerous lifestyle/profession but I enjoy it very much.
Your farm became a very busy place fast with all the equipment called in to get that all cut and blown in silos & ag-bags. All ran like a well oiled machine very cool to see how it all works.
The height on that crop tho! The rain here in central PA over the last 5-7 days has really pushed it up! Eric, this is one of my favorite videos that you film each year. I grew up working on a dairy farm doing "old school" baling of small alfalfa bales and chopping silage. I was the stacker in the mow and wore holes in the knee of every pair of jeans I ever owned! ;-) I looked forward eagerly to Memorial Day weekend as the traditional start of "hay season." Nobody I knew ever grew triticale; it was alfalfa / clover all the way. My grandparents used to fill (2) 70" Harvestore and ran high-moisture corn in the smaller 40' Harvestore.
Those bags are pretty sweet if you have the room that seems the way to go. We didn't have those available when I was growing up. We didn't need them anyways we just made hay we had beef cattle. Then grew corn and beans. Great video missed the little puppy this time.
The visibility of in that cab looks awesome with those corner windows. You could always put up another one of the Harvestor silos that you love so much! There seems to be a lot of them around available used.
I'm really impressed by what it takes to keep your farm operational. Lots of dedication from quality people. Proud of you all, keep up the good work, you are inspiring.
if you could do a small segment on how they set up and fill the Agbags it would be great ..I think they are a great idea and a great way for small farmers to stretch out there harvest. thank you .peace and happiness to you and your family.
Your such an amazing farmer I’m 13 and work on a dairy farm I enjoy it and your videos
Same as me!

Oh if the old time farmers could see all these this new equipment!!! Thanks to all farmers for what they do!!
🐄🌿🌿💚💚🌿🌿🐄
your welcome!!!!!!
They would Croak from Sticker shock my friend. My grandfather used a frickin Mule to plow!
These guys are held up by subsidies.
Weavers coming through with the demo tractors. Fame has its perks. They picked a good guy to advertise with. You deserve it. I like the longer videos. Thanks for your time and effort making them.
We agree
How much is that tractor??
love seeing the opportunities that come your way with the growth of the channel.
Your videos are great no matter what length they are, Thanks Eric!

Bags are pretty hard to beat for efficiency and feed quality. If you are covering your bunk, bags aren't that much more expensive than bunker covers.

The ag bags are a pretty slick idea. Saves all of the covering and tire moving. Great video and learned more about your work. Thanks till next time.
Great video Eric! They will never be to long for me, as I enjoy them very much!
Love the longer videos. Job well done!
I was absolutely thrilled to see such a long video today from you. I love to see such a well kept farm. Thank you for the hard work and sharing with us.
That's some good night lighting on the Massey.
My uncle was Massey dealer for 40 years. I still have my Massey 135. Love Massey tractors!
Really informative video, totally different style of feed storage and fermentation to what farms usually use in the UK.
Where's the big boss ? We haven't seen her since last fall. Love to see her with her little farmer overalls...👶👶👶
This is a perfect educational video to show people around the country how things are done. Thank you so much!
We just chopped our Triticale yesterday here in NY. Gunna starting planting tomorrow.
The Alberta Ranch UA-cam shows the Massy tractor in deep snow and mud. Gorgeous fields and great video as usual!

Always feels good to know you have a start on the year’s feed stored.
Getting a lot of chores done!!! I enjoy the longer videos. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thanks for another good one Eric. Appreciate your effort in getting these out while working your multiple farm tasks. 👍🙏🇺🇸
Another great video. I look forward to these throughout the week. Appreciate you sharing your day with us.
Lot of power for a 4 cylinder! Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
Bret is a genius with old school repair love watching you guys work together
great video thanks for the long one. I love the detail that you go into about everything.

Awesome video. I love watching the spring cuttings.
The insecticide bins are for tools, parts, empty bags, and scoops for leveling the seed😉

You are making the last 9 generations very proud my good man!
Thank you for your well organized presentation.... Very PROUD of y'all
That video was so long I was expecting 11th Generation to take over! Excellent video as always. Thank you.
I've learned a lot about farming from this channel. Thanks for sharing!
Those are some lucky cows, you put so much energy in providing for them. I wish I could buy my half and half direct from you. Thanks for sharing!
You take amazing care of your herd. Your so detailed compared to the other farmers I watch on UA-cam. Thank you for the videos
Thanks! that was enjoyable. It's nice to see the whole process.
You guys are always so busy! Hard workers! Love the videos
I don't mind a longer video. When you are as busy as you are we appreciate any video that you are able to give us. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
Your videos are very informative and fun to watch. Never too long.
I don’t know why watching you guys work so hard is so relaxing. Another great video, thanks, keep um coming.
Beautiful farm and such a great operation yall run. The crop looks awesome. Your herd is well fed and taken care of for sure. It is amazing how clean and organized your farm is and the herd taken such good care of compared to some of the other channels.
Thank you again for the video. I really enjoy the drone coverage the farm is beautiful.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it!
Great video! Thanks for explaining everything so well!
A lot going on, on the farm Eric. Non-stop work. Enjoy watching your videos. Stay safe.
Your fields look beautiful!! Love watching the Harvesting of all you feeds.
Everyone working hard to feed the cows. Didn't know what to expect when you jumped in the silo. Loved your music.
Great job Eric! Very busy days in this video, you and your dad accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Nice of them to loan you that Massey. 👍🚜
Great video! Love the aerials!
Really enjoyed this segment. Cutting, raking and chopping and filling Silos
Really good work Eric. Nice looking Massey’s too. Thanks
You were crazy busy. Great educational video. Super camera & drone work. In our neck of the woods we’re lucky to get 3 cuttings of Alfalfa on the dry land. Generally it’s 2. Really Nice Farmstead
I really like the nonstop activity. There is a real ballet of work being performed. Even when you work 12+ hours, the time must fly.
When I was 16 or 17 years old I was cutting and hauling corn silage with a G John Deere. I was pulling two wagons at a time hauling it back and forth to the farm and field.

I can smell that Tridical all the way over here and I'm in Hawaii. Aloha Eric🤙🏼
How are things going in Hawaii
That tractor looks perfect for your farm. 😄 That 8S was unbelievably quiet inside the cab.
Your farm became a very busy place fast with all the equipment called in to get that all cut and blown in silos & ag-bags. All ran like a well oiled machine very cool to see how it all works.

Loved this video! You guided us through so nicely and spoiled us with nice shots. Just keep going I’d say! 😄

That was a busy few days!! Love the longer video and all the field work!
Thank You for sharing this with us all
I'm really impressed by what it takes to keep your farm operational. Lots of dedication from quality people.
Proud of you all, keep up the good work, you are inspiring.
Love your videos and the music you play over the video and the farm noises. Great job.
Nice Tractor! Thanks for sharing
I definitely like the idea of adding another silo. I always like feeding out of a silo vs the bunker in the bunker.
if you could do a small segment on how they set up and fill the Agbags it would be great ..I think they are a great idea and a great way for small farmers to stretch out there harvest. thank you .peace and happiness to you and your family.
I could watch you cut all day !! Awesome video thanks 😊
Really enjoyed the drone footage. New Massey ran good for you. Excellent video of spring forage.
Love the drone shots of your fields... Beautiful farm...
Thank you for this beautiful video! I love the drown pics with the irish music 👏👏👏
Really Enjoyed the longer Video and i take my hat off you all really shows a hard working bunch well done.
nice machines great video like to see all the machines at work well done
Y'ALL do awesome work, thank you for sharing your video with us...
Love the all your videos, especially the longer ones.
Me too
Love a bit of ag-bag action. Nice little massey aswell. Top content as always mate 👍
I watch these with my mouth agape, recalling Mike Bloomberg's sentiment about farmers.
Great video lots going on I would definitely add another bunk to store the feed in keep up the great work
I enjoy watching any videos especially long ones. Keep up the great work. Peace out!👍🇨🇦
