I love ALL Sow the Land videos!
The videography is so good!
Jason, you are doing a Tremendous job All on your own and everything you do is awesome and we all agree we love the videos.
Jason saying "Excuse me." to the pigs always makes me smile.
Elvira looks ready to pop and she absolutely knows you are prepping her nursery area.
It's always nice to see a homesteading channel and family who does a good job and puts in some proper infrastructure. Keep up the good work guys.
Elvira following Jason like a puppy is just too cute!
They will (most likely) have the babies when the barometric pressure changes. It kicks things off. My doc told me that when I was pregs with my son and yeah, he was right. Old time general practitioner and he was amazingly right on a lot of things. Said the hospital always filled up right before a storm or a weather change.
I scroll. I see Jason. I click.
Those pigs are so beautiful. I'd never heard of them before. Just gorgeous.
Hi, Jason! Your progress on the fence is amazing. Your patience and tenacity have paid off.
Yup, the story stick is used many ways but very common with brick layers. It avoids math errors unless you mess up making the stick.
Jason you are doing such a great job! You are a huge encouragement to me on my rebuild of my 5 acre homestead, man you will be able to look back in years from now at these videos and be glad you put in all this work! Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
We always put surveying ribbon on new high tensile fence so wildlife can see it. Also, that’s a hornet’s nest. They are great to have around livestock. They catch and kill flies!
I smile when I see that there is a new video from Sow the Land! When I watch them I realize that Hope is Eternal and that God is Good all the time! I don’t know if you have two days Lorraine. That Elvira looks good to go. 😂🙏
Hi.... Jason and Loraine when ever I see you both are doing this homestead. I also want to start but I don't have money to do. I just only keep on prayer
LUV the fence Jason. Like you say, every day just a little bit more, eventually you’ll be done and moving on to the next project. Keep it up.
ELVIRA is soooo big. Her belly rubs on the ground. She was so cute running after her food bucket. ❤❤
When you are all done, gonna have to write the book…what not to do when fencing your pasture. Best seller in the comedy genre.
I love seeing all the progress. And you seem in much better spirits, which makes me very happy. I just wish you had more help with that fence! ❤
I'm impressed with your determination to finish the fence, by yourself.
Enjoyed the video and it's wonderful to see the family working together. Jason keep reminding yourself that this fence will eventually be finished. 🥰 Happy piggy watch. 🤗👍
You are a great example of people working together. You can have a get life on the farm. Thank God for the farmer’s wife.
I would love to see you buy some more property next to you so that you can get more animals and it would be good content
Great video 👍
Please be careful of those type holes. Many creatures can be in there. I ran over a hole like that with the lawnmower some years back and it was full of yellow jackets. Miraculously I did not get a single sting. I was very lucky.
You and Elvira and Zeke have the best relationship to me. 👍🏽
Love the birds singing I the background‼️
I love being "out there" doing chores vicariously with Jason.. ❤as I sit by my wood stove. What a great world we live in. 😅
That being said.. I'm old and have put in my time... so not feeling too guilty. Thanks for bringing us along AND inspiring the youngsters.
Don't get overwhelmed.. just take it one day at a time. You guys are doing great!
Man I love a good fence this one is going to be great and life changing!
All at work. You've divided the tasks. It's so satisfying to watch the progress. Rest well this
evening. Blessings
Pig lawn mowers, Love it!! 🐷🐽🐷🐽🐷🐽🐷
Elvira is like a huge dog as she follows you, Jason. Makes me smile❤
They see you as their Chuck Wagon, Jason! So appreciative!
New here we are getting 🐖 that looks like your pigs ... This is our first time trying pigs ...We don't have and ELC fence up yet ...
Kune kune pigs are good first time pigs... So gentle.
Pigs are looking great
It doesn’t matter what you post love it all 🌟
Loraine, I heard that squash bugs love Hubbard squash more than any other. So plant a bunch of Hubbard far away from your real garden. And see if they stay away.
Who eats squash bugs?
Ducks?
Guinea fowl?
You will reap the rewards of all your hard work. Well done. ❤️
What a fantastic team you are as a Family- hoping to see little piglets soon & I hope all the babies re healthy & Mum too. Cheers Denise- Australia
You're unreal Jason. Getting the job done alright! Those piglets are fattening up nicely!
your pasture looks so much better, great job bringing it to life:)
I feel like Elvira looks like she's ready to pop! Can't wait for baby piggies!
Look at that green grass!
You guys dress so neatly to be such hard working homesteaders.
Jason, on the cattle fence you really should
think 🤔 about putting chicken wire, openings are very wide Spaces so animals won't come through. Block out transfer any type of small or large animals coming through.or Predators like those dogs in your area😮. We enjoy your videos🥰
Wonderful to see your videos! Thank you!
Great video family working together. And Jason what a big change to the homestead. Oh and remember Rome wasn’t built in a day 🇬🇧
Hello again.. Jason its good you have noticed the contact point of the hot wires on the H brace my suggestion is put the tube insulator on the diagonal wire tensioner so that every wire fence still hot and not insulated in that part/spot of the fence.
I actually just went to IG and shorts to see if there were piglets because it's a day after you posted this and Elvira looked about to POP! Fence is looking great - You all have made so much progress on that property.
How exciting! Baby piggies 🐷 ❤️ 💕
Your pigs are so smart!! And so sweet!!
“More higher” you crack me up! Your farm is looking great!!
Pi’s moving is my favorite part
Always such positive attitudes .. on Sow the Land
Prepping for spring planting, brings back memories.....Keep doing it>>living your dream! Blessings~~💚💛
I love hearing your piggies noises.
You're doing a great job. Hard workers make for awesome videos.
WOW... already 20 H-braces! Your fence looks amazing.. I would love to have your skills and energy to fence off my place! Also as always I am a fan of anything that includes cute little piggy snorts :) What a life you lead! Thanks for sharing it all with us!!
Jason, Great video. Thanks for the updates
Oh boy she's a big one.
Sure be glad when this weather breaks. Just warm please .
It is amazing how you all work together as a family!! Love your channel!!❤❤😊
Awesome!
I believe that wasp nest is paper wasps...
Your hard work is paying off!
Enjoy your show! You’re organized and that makes it enjoyable to watch
Elvira looks like she’s carrying at least 8 piglets? Cannot wait! The homestead is looking great!
The hard work is paying off Jason!
Penelope must be looking forward tp homemade fries she was doing great with broad fork. If you run out of H post tensioners you could always join the ends together tying them to the bottom of post and use the handle of a cresent wrench to stich between the wires and start twisting wires together after about 25 twists there will be lots of tension and wire will be nicely twisted together. Great work all of you.
Look at that Despardo out riding fences!
Enjoyed spending the the day with y’all on the farm.
You need to check the bees and see if they have room so they don't swarm on you and give them space if they need it.
I know that high tension/tensel wire fences are cheaper BUT they aren't going to keep predators like those dogs that attacked your chickens out. They're just going to go around the fences to a section that's open and walk through.
Your Yardstick, in the building world is called a "Story Pole". They are used in anything that is repetitious such as framing, masonry, fencing, wood lathe, etc. Thought you might want to know.
Greetings from Northernwildharvest, love watching you work.
I hope the rewards of your work become more than your intentions.
Brick masons make whats called a "story pole", each side has the markings for different types of bricks. So story stick is great.
Great video, that fence is a true labour of love!
Thanks for mentioning the "story pole" or "story stick"
Learned about story sticks in a woodworking class…
A wonderful jig!
Fantastic progress in all areas; thanks for sharing! Your land is looking beautiful. Wonderful how you all work together. Blessings 🤗🇨🇦
One of my fav channels, not hard to tell why! I look forward to each new video 🙌🐔🐷💜
Punk rocker moves out of California to own acres and live life in the farm❤ awesomeness
We are waiting for the piglets!
Afternoooon Jason
I think that fence will keep everything (except ,babies lol )
The fence is looking fine. U have a nice family.❤
your farm is really growing this year, and you got a tight looking fence ❤❤🙏🙏
The fence is looking good! Was that snake skin by the big hole in the ground? Looking forward for Elvira to have her babies! Hope everything goes well and a safe and healthy delivery for everyone.
Slow and steady wins the race🎉
Hopefully Elvira waits until it gets to a warm spell. The fence is coming along quickly.
Years ago, an elderly woodworker told me those were called "story sticks" or "story boards" because they told the story of what measurements you needed to follow.
Fencing is coming along nicely!
People say they have a face only a mother could love. I beg to differ. Those under bites are adorable.
Busy busy busy. God bless.
Busy, busy time!
Hang in there! You are really getting it done!
I’ve grown so many sweet potatoes in 6-15 gallon grow bags they’ve done awesome and so sweet after the Set time
Making progress! Good job Jason.
Jason when you used the spiral insulator might be able to use a old garden hose cut open.
A happy Homestead...😊
That Elvira is a beauty. She has a very special walk and style. Gotta get some T-shirts to celebrate her. Kunie Queen Elvira.
That yardstick was ingenious! So simple and yet perfect.
Enjoy your videos. Want to ask where are your in-laws ? Believing they are well. Gods Blessings to all of you.
Your family is an inspiration to so many. You all really care about not only doing the job but doing it with excellence. Also I'm betting on a y moment for Elvira and the piglets.🎉 Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you .
Amazing all the things you have learned to do since you started homesteading. You need to do a video of that!
I had a story stick to measure the fuel in my fuel oil barrel yrs ago. I didnt realize it had a name.😮
