I came from a long line of farmers. An we each did things different from each other. I do not know who your talking about ( nor do I care ). I do things my way. An I have always enjoyed your videos. An just looking at your place, what a peace of heaven you have. The barn alone is worth of a calendar picture. Keep up the great videos.
Ben I just found your channel today and at my first view of a couple videos, I like how you roll. I enjoy no nonsense straight up this is how I do it farming. There's another guy here in Canada Anderson cattle company rolls just like you. thanks for keeping it real. Seriously Thanks Ben. Scott Alberta Canada
I’m pretty proud of my operation quite frankly. It’s proven itself. I am always learning and getting ideas via this internet thing and from my neighboring producers. I know your not talking about me, I don’t think I’ve ever commented here before. But hey, I’m an opinionated harpy type of farmer. After 21 years of being told I’m going to go broke, the past 3 years I’ve been in the top 3 bpa corn yields and I’m right smack dab in the heart of the corn belt. I’ve never sprayed a chemical or used synthetic fertilizer yet. I ain’t gonna lie to ya, new ground early in the reformation phase does not yield well, but it usually always yields what I want it to based on soil, sap and tissue sampling. When I see people doing something that I’ve personally dealt with, sometimes learning a lesson at the same time, I can’t not make a comment. Sorry lol “Hey, great job using cover crops, but why are you chemically terminating it when you can let it go and get literal toms of fertility per acre by roller crimping it up to 30days after you put your beans in” “Why does your family have you on suicide watch over the price of anhydrous when you can do a few simple things and get a yield increase while only using 50-85 pounds…” “Ya know, 45 units of glyphosate is not cable of doing any more than 15-16, ever considered dialing that back.” Yep, I am proudly “THAT GUY!” But after decades of watching me buy up land, they don’t run away from me at the coffee shop anymore. During the lockdown, my farm shop sort of became the new coffee shop for the local farmers. My kids turned it into a little side hustle for themselves. Frying up eggs and bacon. You actually run one hell of an operation, and if you were my neighbor, we’d be putting back some Bush Lite together. But you would have to put up with me, as well as show me what you know.
You are the Bigger Man, Since I have found your channel I seem to enjoy my life even more. Your ups and downs are as normal as mine. Makes me take a deep breath and go forward, keep up the great work😎😎
I really appreciate your videos and the way you address these types of issues without saying who it is as that is what they are wanting. You are a very busy man with the farm, your job, UA-cam videos and seeing the little Lady. The type of individual you are talking about needs to get a life and smell the roses. I would tell young people to follow their dreams not what others would like them to do. Have a great weekend Ben.
Oh boy Ben, he found you too well said no time for anymore nonsense. Thanks for another great video. Keep up the good work the farm looks great. Have a great weekend
I'm not totally sure who you're talking about, but I have a good idea.. Some people really think highly of themselves! Lol. You have class, and it's nice to see people like you out there keeping things positive and legitimate! Take good care bud!
In Alberta. The major packing plants will no longer buy holstein steers. I know farmers who have been feeding these things for two years. They will lose 3000 dollars on every steer.
I haul livestock to two weekly sales and I have been to hundreds of farms over the years. One thing I have learned is what works for you on your farm doesn’t mean it will work on mine. Every operation is different and that is great. I personally get questioned and ridiculed at times for what I do here on my farm. I do things differently than most and they cannot understand how I do it. That is okay it works for me and that is all that matters. I don’t give people a hard time for how they do things mainly because I don’t care how they do it. Besides a friend of mine that had a dairy once told me you can learn more from a bad farmer than a good one. In a way that makes a lot of sense.
Ben, don't let a troll bring you down and best thing to do is address it before it happens again. You do work off the farm with long drives from the farm to work site and back to the farm and it seem to me you don't have much time but to work long hours on the farm. It works for you than keep doing what works for you and farms don't run the same way.
Jealousy is a serious problem for some. We have all experienced it at some point. Good job keeping your head up. Acknowledging with his name is all that he/she wants.
Well said, Ben. Mentioning that person's name would be giving an irrelevant person reliance and negativity and bullish behavior should not be rewarded in any manner.
There's always someone that no matter what you've done they've done it better and in the end I always find that they don't know cow dookie and are windier than a bag of farts . Your channel is awesome Ben! Shout out from Texas
Excellent. Way to address ignorant comments. I watch primary a small handful of channels, one of them always gets stupid ppl commenting about how there farm operates. I agree with you I will Not go to there channels. Keep up the great videos, Thanks
Good for you (not that you need my approval) for not giving this person publicity. Obviously what they are seeking. nN publicity is bad, negative or positive, so glad you handled it the way you did. I am so worn through with people elevating themselves via belittling or trying to show, in your face, that they are smarter or know more then you. Can’t even read the comments on videos because it is just so ridiculous. Then I found myself attacking back at those attacking the folks taking the time and effort to make videos. I think I was being a reverse “troll” lol, dang it. This format is for entertainment and education, for me. There is also good content in some of the comments. Too bad others need to use it for their own maliciousness. So, thanks for rising above and sharing positivity. Have a beautiful day!
You got it Mary! It's sometimes hard to do, but ignore it the best we can! Glad you enjoy the channel & are gaining some helpful information out of it. Its all about sharing how we do things & hopefully making a difference?!
lol he's gotta be talking about ECH eh? Any drama and negativity that comes around farm channels seems to be from him haha. Love you're videos man. From down the way in WI.
You are correct I like your positivity 👍. Plus your a pretty big fellow you would be hard to handle if you grab ahold of somebody lol and a smart guy to smart for that kinda nonsense nice video 👍👍🍻
Keep them comming, I keep seeing every one with all these black and whites, maybe in should buy a few and make the big bucks like you and ted Kahler lol
Haaaa!!!! There was once a day you could actually make a buck!! Dairy downfall has destroyed it! Will, you hate money so you should truly bring in 4-5 trucks of them!!!😂😂😂
Just stumbled upon this. I found a guy selling some holstein steers for beef at $2/lb hanging weight. I'm trying to decide if it is worth it or a mistake. I've never tried hosltein beef. Any thoughts about whether it is a mistake or not? Is it really tough or do you think most people wouldn't notice the difference??
That’s amazing I live in south bend Indiana that’s about 30 minutes from where you made your three oaks videos talking about the 13 ft corn. But long story short getting that kind of land is expensive around here.
Great video sir! Thanks for all your great content in your videos! Every farm has a different story!
5+4=9 so does 6+3. There's more than one way to do things. Keep on doing what your doing buddy.
You handled this the best way I see possible. Very well done!
To me u tube is a learning tool and you sir are one assume man ! And I'm about positive thank you sir for your time and your leadership.

Appreciate that Denny!!👍👍
In Alberta. The major packing plants will no longer buy holstein steers. I know farmers who have been feeding these things for two years. They will lose 3000 dollars on every steer.
I’m giving 4 yearling Holstein steers 3 buckets of feed a day. I’m loving the full feed way.
Wow!! 3 full pales of grain?👍
@@veesercattleco.4111 can I please have your cellphone number
Calves are looking nice, hope they do well for you at sale in a few weeks.

What ever is working good for you who cares what anybody else thinks

Thanks Wiiliam. No, our grains are stored at the feed mill & they grind it for us.
Keep them comming, I keep seeing every one with all these black and whites, maybe in should buy a few and make the big bucks like you and ted Kahler lol

What weight do you think they are at.i can't tell very well.
I'd say round 330-370kgs
Do you milk your cows?
No he does not. Calves, beef, crops.
@@MrAlbethke how come he has diary cows?
@@MrAlbethke ?????
They are steers. They don't have milk.
Males don't produce milk.
@@HjCrawford I know that steers don't produce milk. I thought they were females.
What is the weight of the steers you are finishing?
They will be sold for others to finish. That group is going anywhere from 500-650.👍
Nice vid Ben!
Your young. I got three grandkids...
How many acres are you working with?
Owned & leased.....300
That’s amazing I live in south bend Indiana that’s about 30 minutes from where you made your three oaks videos talking about the 13 ft corn. But long story short getting that kind of land is expensive around here.
Thanks for the vid everything you said is so correct makes me sick to my stomach every time I see one of his comments
He ruffled my feathers Blane!
I am sorry. I thought I was leaving helpful information? Lol
I use United producers in eaton ohio and Knightstown Indiana sale barn. Eaton, sellers market. Knightstown, buyers market.
They do a good job Lucas!
Video the sale of those steers please.
Sorry Dan, but won't be at the sale.👍
Good way to handle the nonsense
Thanks James. Just my 2 cents?
Happy first day of Autumn Ben !!
You think you are a lot better then you are
