Man, this guy is something else. Been catching up on all his vids. Bro your work ethic is crazy. Love it a lot, today's youth even older men can learn from you.👍🏼
When I give God thanks for the things I have and I ask Him to bless the food I'm to eat, I ask Him to bless the hardworking farmers and the up and coming generations like you. You are everything thing that is right and good with our youth and the myriad of tasks that go into producing 1 gallon of milk or a nice steak can never be underrated. I am a 57 year old widow in Michigan who lives in the country. The smell of the land, the animals, the rivers are the smells of living God's life. I wish I knew your name. The way you explain things and as I said, the myriad of tasks you are so skillful at doing, well, my young friend, it is a treat and an honor to watch you. Being a 10th generation dairy farmer, you must have had outstanding role models - beginning with your mom and dad, who works right alongside of you. I would love to visit your farm for a day or two and just soak in the learning process. Thank you so very much for sharing your family's legacy, giving credit to those who've helped you and your dad (specifically the neighboring small dairyman who does work on your equipment, the fella who came and helped with the silo auger, to name a couple), those you've helped (farming is a very reciprocal vocation). Please keep the videos coming and keep teaching. This country, as a whole, needs desparately to see farming, and specifically, animal farming, in the light with which you present it. Take care, my young friend. May God continue to watch over you and all who provide for us, and may He bless you and your family.
We all sit at our tables to enjoy food or have a glass of milk but we never think of all the efforts that farmers have to make to produce them, this guy works very hard from early in the morning, having to eat standing or sitting back of a tractor, my respects for him and his family, you are admirable and thank you very much for everything you do so that we also enjoy your great sacrifice. THANK YOU
Great video!! I like what you said “ It works for us so we keep doing it” Everybody should apply that logic it would uncomplicate a lot of things 😊 I liked watching you load the corn for planting. You are very organized in your work!! A man on a mission 🚜 Thanks
I grew up on a farm and my dad and family still run it, it was a grain farm ONLY. I am in a big city and an office now but still go home to visit and the farm. We never had any livestock on the farm other than cats or dogs, wow I am intrigued on how much MORE work a livestock and dairy farm really is than what my dad does. You are working way harder than grain farmers for sure but I never did see really how a dairy farm worked even though there were some all around us. This is great to see, I did know it was harder work on a dairy farm but this really puts it in perspective.
I love your videos you seem to love what you do and the cows , babies and heifers, l really respect people that care for them. Being cruel is shameful , it seems you truly care and love them , that's the way it should be keep up the great work.
Super interesting to watch this. Grew up on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Our whole province is essentially one big farm. So neat to see how these machines work.
Love your videos bro. Im taking Agriculture course major In Agronomy. All we have at school is do research. Farmers here lack mechanical equipments. We do farm labors manually. It take times.
Dairyman -- One thing I have noticed about your videos is that your THUMBS UP to THUMBS DOWN ratio is A LOT higher than any of the other channels I watch, whether they be farming or non-farming channels, and in most cases you don't even have as many subscribers as they do. What this tells me is that your quality is that your subscribers like your quality of content. I know that I do. BTW, I had heard never heard of triticale before. I heard you mention triticale in some other videos, but had not seen it spelled until this video, and up to now I thought you were saying "treadacow". LOL. Well, after all, you are a dairy farmer, and so I thought "treadacow" must be it. LOL.
Eric, good video & explanation. If your process worked in the past few years, you tweak/fine tune it. Glad the weather has cooperated for you in PA. Can not wait for football season, my team is in the same conference, we will have some fun!
Eric my grandfather would be impressed the way you and your family run your dairy operation he too had a top notch operation back in the day happy cows really clean and organized 👍 btw how many cameras do you use or do you just move the one and what type is it , thanks Jeffrey
Is this corn genetically engineered like roundup ready? Not making a judgement of you or what you're about just would like to know. Also are the other farms around you using GMO corn and soybeans? Your family has been farming this land for 10 generations wow. Seems you got a good grip on keeping it going. So many skills required I'm impressed. And so much special equipment to know how to fix and maintain. Really good quality video production I am learning a lot about modern dairying so cool
That's a modern planter compared to what we had. We had a JD 4row trip planter and used plates to control the seed and used solid fertilizer and it was all steel or sheet metal. We had to clean it real good and oil the crap out of it so the fertilizer didn't eat it up by next planting season. Takes talent to keep a straight row and sure didn't have time to watch videos or talk and text on the phone like they do now days. Nice to see things being done that I can relate to.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Is that a kenzie planter? And I'm assuming your corn is for silage, do you plant a silage corn or just a regular variety? Here in swne were really wet spring planting is behind
Are you familiar with GABE BROWN and permaculture/multi seed species planting and soil building. Very interesting, in that, this will free the farm of huge fertilizer and chemical expense. The result is more profit and less experiences and purer food.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 If your talking yield on soybeans, that's kinda wide but an old standard. 20 - 24 inches will yield better and is the narrowest or white mold will be a common issue. Some plant at 15 and drill at 7.5 and risk white mold big time. But it gives a quicker shade canopy to deter weeds the herbicide failed on. So it kinda balances out and 30 inch rows can be cultivated. My dad loved cultivating corn using a JD A and a 4 row cultivator. I miss farming, but not the work. I'm to old and worn these days, LOL Do you do any foliar fertilizing at night? 70° or lower is the temp for foliar feeding. I use to sell a brand back in the early 80's, it was great. But they sold the company, doubled the price and went broke. Sunrain 8-8-8 fish and seaweed with trace minerals. Never found another one like it.
Nice video. 👍🏻 How many day corn do you plant? What Gpa are you putting down on the starter? Just gets dry enough here to think about trying to do some field work here, the we get another 1"- 1 1/2" of rain. Nothing in the ground yet, just got some manure out of the pit.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 thort i seen the hand throttle wide open you should only be usind half or less with a cvt tranny and let the tractor find the right rpm seems you know this an still had it wide open...juss my thorts, otherwise great video!
So you get your corn from a chemical company? Wow, that is what is wrong with this country. Our country thanks to Monsanto does not use seeds that reproduce like the old days' farmers would just grow their own seeds every year. Grow what you need for this year then grow some for next year's crop only if something goes wrong, do you need to buy new seeds not anymore. Sad
They put an incredible amount of research and work into producing these new seed varieties. It makes sense that they would want to protect the technology and not allow everyone to just keep replanting their own seeds. Modern corn is way more productive and resistant to disease because of the sience that's put into it
True. All ag seed sold these days is hybrid seed. Hybrid seed is sterile so it won't produce a seed the following year if planted. Keeps the farmer buying seed each year. Pretty good marketing plan.
As you did in this video and seem like all your videos you explain how your equipment works. I for one really appreciate you doing that. thank you
Man, this guy is something else. Been catching up on all his vids. Bro your work ethic is crazy. Love it a lot, today's youth even older men can learn from you.👍🏼
Right bro?foreal.
You work a lot harder when you own the farm your working on.

If my dad was alive he would be amazed how you keep your farm and planting crops an milking cows going an keeping it clean when it needs it.

At least you had a window to plant. The weather has not been cooperative this year!!
Know nothing about what you do, but it’s all very interesting. Great videos😊
I'm really impressed. Wow!
These videos are soooo interesting. I learn something every video and I envy you.
Super interesting to watch this. Grew up on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Our whole province is essentially one big farm. So neat to see how these machines work.
I had a Mountain Dew ad before this video 👌🏻
Thank you for the video. You are very blessed. Look forward to seeing more.
THANKS again Eric, every article is real interesting as i LOVE RURAL
my dad had a 60 acre commercial garden in New Zealand
Hope you keep them coming enjoy them a lot. Have not seen a new one on for the pass weeks and hope you will have more on soon.
Good! I just posted a new video yesterday
Great video! I learned how to plant corn
We run our marker wheel so it lines up with one of our front tires it works well and a lot easier to keep things running even!
I am glad your not intedated with rain. Great video as always
Was out in Lancaster this past Friday, looked like all you guys were going at it hard. Tractors flying up and down rt 23
Really enjoy your videos, beautiful farm and nice cattle
Have you done an equipment/farm building tour on your channel yet? Would be a good couple of video ideas to do if you have a down day.
awesome video. I'm glad I stumbled onto this channel!
I love your farm and your job. Hope, someday i can visit your farm. From VietNamese fan
Love the new content looking four word for more great job👍
You’re knowledgeable and honestly can teach at an A&M university! You’re dad ya done well with you ! Wealth and prosperity is coming your way
Keep up the strong work!
your camera shots are on point too
keep up the great work m'dude
So happy I found this channel. Praise Our Lord Jesus Christ. God is good. Stay strong in your faith
Glad to see u getting things planted. We still have no corn in ground but should be any day. Mowed some first cut also. GD luck!!
Thanks again for a great video 👍
Great video Eric we’ve been having heaps of rain here in Australia
Love your videos bro. Im taking Agriculture course major In Agronomy. All we have at school is do research.
Farmers here lack mechanical equipments. We do farm labors manually. It take times.
Isn't the manure enough fertilizer for the corn, you have to apply this too?
Great instructional video!
What happened to your Mountain Dew??? Always look forward to how you’re going to ‘introduce’ your fav beverage!!!
Awesome vid as always
You are so impressive man!
Glad to see you're not a Pittsburgh fan!
Just like my virtual Farming video game on PS4, even better!
Great video, too wet here , we use the same corn as u

Helo from Serbija!
Looking good in that JD 👍 maybe time to trade the New Holland.
I'd love to but we can't afford to spend 200k+ on a tractor. Don't use it enough
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 I hear you, yep there's lots of custom guys around let them make the payments , use what you have 👍
Only trade in a New Holland for another New Holland. 😉🤠
JDEERE is the best !
Awesome videos bud!

Would you discuss the economics of dairy farming?
What is the music you were listening to? Sounded like Chris Tomlinson.
Bravo!!
Great video, we have been too wet to plant anything, we need to plant 1000 blackberries!
Channel looks entertaining.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Is that a kenzie planter? And I'm assuming your corn is for silage, do you plant a silage corn or just a regular variety? Here in swne were really wet spring planting is behind
Thanks yes it's a Kinsey. Yeah planting BMR corn for silage. I know a lot of people are dealing with wet weather. That would be frustrating
Good information. Good video. That's some impressive equipment y'all have.
Like the video, I form china
Congrats on planting 2019 done.. Count your lucky stars this year.. Great video
Had to look it up, but internet says it's pronounced "trit-i-kay-lee". Just wondering
I think that's right but we don't like saying it that way lol
Pretty cool to see how you guys farm down south
What is your favorite tractor that you have ?
Tough choice
You seem to use that New Holland a lot
Are you familiar with GABE BROWN and permaculture/multi seed species planting and soil building.
Very interesting, in that, this will free the farm of huge fertilizer and chemical expense.
The result is more profit and less experiences and purer food.
Do y'all spray herbicide
I hope the row width was changed, or do you plant your beans and corn at the same row width?
Plant them both at 30 inches. Yields about the same
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 If your talking yield on soybeans, that's kinda wide but an old standard. 20 - 24 inches will yield better and is the narrowest or white mold will be a common issue.

who is your custom guy? is he one with all the farm gear?
Is seed coat the only delta ag product you use
🤗👍 and the end result will be happy 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄.
Go Birds !
Is it cheaper to have some of the work done custom ? Or do it yourself's
Yeah it's cheaper and easier for us. We don't have enough acres for it to be worth owning some of that stuff
How many acres can you do before you have to refill the seeder?
About 16
Nice video. 👍🏻 How many day corn do you plant? What Gpa are you putting down on the starter?
Just gets dry enough here to think about trying to do some field work here, the we get another 1"- 1 1/2" of rain. Nothing in the ground yet, just got some manure out of the pit.
I believe this was 114 day corn. Running 5 gpa on both pumps. Hopefully things start drying out soon
What's the purpose for the chains behind the covering wheels
Just drags a little dirt over the row
Do you ever go on vacation
I can tell that's a KINZE... what is it?
3rd comment thanks for the video
👍👍👍
It must be nice to be able to get into the fields we haven't been able to plant any corn as of right now
A lot of people are saying that. Doesn't sound fun, hopefully things turn around soon
Have you guys been getting a lot of rain?
It hasn't been bad. Had a lot of rain for two weeks mid May but then dried up.
Why don’t u have it speed set up on the monitor
2:45 nice shirt
How much seed do you use per acre
CiaranC21 around 30,000
Ground still looking a bit sticky was your planter bought like that or have ye added to it?
It was bought like that. Ground wasn't overly dry but planted fine
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 its a tidy bit of kit
How fast does he run that salford?
11-12 mph
Thought you didn’t work ground
We no till as much as we can but yeah we do work up the triticale ground some
Did you work ground to make it dry
How many acres do you plant?
This year 135 corn and 60 soybeans
How many acres do you have?
250
Will you sell hats and tee shirts so people can support you
Not sure, don't know how many would be interested
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 maybe some marketing person would help you from on here.
Would totally but merch to help!! I think a lot would!
What state are you from
Pennsylvania
I was thinking Mn but then I realized how dry your ground is and how you don’t have the accent

Hello
Was you running the Deere john wide open? Theres no need for it only see yanks n Canadian doin this why?
Ivt transmission gives you the rpms you need to keep the speed you have set. I guess it needed the power. It's not my tractor so I'm not to familiar

valleyboy oh ok yeah I was probably doing it wrong. Not used to that tractor
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 hay theres no wrong way in farming as long as it gets done i suppose!
