Hey thanks for watching the video!
That's one very, very impressive set up you have. It is so professional! This is what purpose built farming enterprises look like when they're properly planned, invested in and, above all, properly managed.
You are to be congratulated, and should feel justifiably proud.
Great how your farm flows. A testament of your parents thinking ahead and adjusting as they expanded. I am sure if they started from scratch might shift a thing or two, but great flow.
Wow, this was a real eye opener for me! I have always thought the farm looked neatly maintained and efficient,: but this tour shows the scale of operations, the investment and technology, but also the attention to detail and monitoring of health and production. If people look at all of this, stop bitching about the price of Milk. A credit to the family and staff.
Video suggestion: An interview with your mother and father. I would love to hear their story!
Love your videos.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦, well the farm tour certainly made my day, thanks Jan
That's a really nice industrial complex operation. Impressive that you run it with mostly just the family. I wish more people watched your vids, they would better understand the complexity and costs of running a dairy farm and why the price of milk and milk products cost what they do.
Time to start looking for a wife Jan, that farm is going to need some grandkids ;)
Lots of building, lots of equipment, lots lots of cows 🐄 ,and lots of money invested,kudos to Your Family,thanks for the information,keep the good Hardwork💪🏽 🙏🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for the tour.
Great tour! You always leave a great impression of your dairy farm. Great to see your Canadian Flag flying proudly above it all. Well done Jan!
Thank you for the great farm tour! I really look forward to your daily videos.
My goodness; I am exhausted from all that walking. I had not considered how big your enterprise has become. We need a cold beer after all that exercise. :) Thank you for such a great tour too.
Wonderful tour. What a farm. What an investment! Leave it to the industrious Dutch. Don't see any farm home...it can't be too far away. Would like to see more of your family, staff. You are very clear in your explanations, Jan. Six foot farm star. Good on you and your fine family.
I’m always impressed by the cleanliness of your dairy farm! Thanks for the excellent tour Jan!!!
It's very well maintained, the cows, calves and barns are a good example to everyone including other farmers òn how a farm should be run. I tip my hat to these folks. 31:30
@@DennismelnychukI know a lot of farmers and this is how their farms are run also, always neat and well kept up.
Thank you for the tour. Very impressive...extremely clean facilities.
Watched you for a long time and this is one of your best videos. Good job
Jan , dank je wel voor de rondleiding van jullie behoorlijk grote boerderij, alles netjes voor elkaar en geregeld, super om dit te mogen bekijken. De hele familie samen werkend is ook super om t zien, nogmaals bedankt voor de rondleiding. Groetjes uit Ede in Gelderland dus Nederland
Awesome video Your family has come along way in a short time I can't believe how clean you guys keep your farm From Ontario Grew up on a beef farm Any thing Canadian You gotta love it With hard work comes so rewarding just keep farming and video Thanks
So cool to see behind the gates!!! All the best to your folks and family.
Thanks for the updated tour! It’s very impressive the amount of growth your family farm has had, and it’s mind blowing that a handful of people can keep an operation of that size going! 1000 animal lives depend on a few people, crazy! Awesome!
That is a huge set-up. Thanks for the tour.
Beautiful Farm Tour Jan!
Idk how much your used to daily uploads but i sure am! Highlight of my day!
Thanks for the great tour Jan!
Great job on showing the farm
great video & tour ! look forward to watching your videos.
Awesome tour Jan 👍
You must be very proud of your family!
42 to 340. What a journey! As you continue to grow what is the maximum capacity your farm will handle?
Excellent - great job!
Nice farm great job on the video thanks for sharing
That was amazing!!!! Thank you so much for the tour. Things make sense a lot more now.
Glad you liked it!
Very nice jan, im missed the drone shoot. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Awesome! Would be nice to see an interview style video with your dad or both parents about their emigration history and story. I emigrated to NZ in 1989, dairy farmer until I was 40. Now hotel owner in a ski resort in Japan. Love watching your videos, miss the farming a lot from my NZ time. ( I’m from Friesland) Keep up the good work!
Thanks for an updated tour, Jan. I really enjoyed it 😊
I love your dairy thanks for sharing. I used to be a dairy cow judge and I have never seen a bad cow on your dairy. You guys work hard and it shows
I am always totally amazed by how hard farmers work. I could never do it. Wishing you continued success!!!
Beauty. You all have sure built a great farm and legacy.
what a beautiful farm, great tour.
Great tour, very enjoyable to see how your farm works.
Outstanding tour , very well explained, amazing family working hard daily , 365 days a year ! Many , many pieces to the puzzle , do you have more pictures of the beginning of the dairy , inside barn milking set up ? Your folks have put together a remarkable set up ! I would bet you kids started helping at a very young age , can you share that info ! This dairy is a remarkable piece of history ! Thank you all for taking us on this journey ! Stay safe , enjoy & have fun . Mom & dad must be very very proud of each of you , you all make this possible !!
Vert interesting! Thank you for the tour!
Great tour.
A huge investment since 1996. Your folks and family sure know what they're doing. Successful farmers and I like successful people. (Staff too, Brent.) Thank you for helping to feed the world.
A great farm to be proud of for sure. Really good to see your generation take hold and take pride in. Would like to see more that here in the states and especially here in Texas, good job 👍🐄🐄🐄.
Excellent video. I've watched foe a long time but this was helpful in orientation.
A modern, very clean and safe cow's milk collection model
Thanks for the refresher tour. Although it would seem a bit different in person, I feel as though I could easily find my way around your farm.
I don’t recall if you have ever done a in depth interview with both your mom and dad on their history and how they acquired the farm. I know you have done interviews with both your mom and dad in separate videos. Would be interesting to have a sit down with both of them at the same time to discuss the history of them and the farm itself. If you have already, please tell me which video it is. Been watching all your videos for about 2 years now.
Your farm is a factory. Dairy products, Beef. Byproducts: Manure=Fertilizer, Methane Gas. Ever considered capturing the gas to generate electricity. I realize scale has a lot to do with economic viability. You and your family have such a well run, well thought out operation. Please keep the videos coming.
Thanks for another great video, it has been three years and it was a great refresher. Nice farm layout. I have often wondered how well the cows adapt to changes in their environment (moving from location to another) and how long does it takes to adapt/learn the routine in the new environment.
I would say they learn quickly. 2/3 days. They just follow the rest of the herd

LOVED this. Amazing. Informative. Awesome to see all the behind the scenes stuff. Im always amazed to see how much equipment is involved. Great job Jan !! ❤
Great job on the tour, I truly enjoyed it.
Let your parents know that they have a very nice set up. And also that was a very nice tour.
Thank you for the tour. Very interesting. Very enjoyable
Great jobwith the farm tour
Nice tour. Thanks. Nice layout.
💜💜💜💜 Good tour. Lots invested in the dairy farm. A lot of money and work for a glass of milk. 👍
Thanks so much, Jan and I commend your family for your superb effort and vision. You are great ambassadors for the dairy industry! You are too humble to mention this so I will for you! Yes, dairy farming requires a huge investment in land, equipment, buildings, animals and man power. However, that is only part of the story. Many people don't think about this part of the equation. An incredible amount of knowledge and highly diversified skills are required for (field/soil management, seeding/crop management, harvesting, handling/maintenance of machinery, feed testing/analysis, ration formulation, herd health, breeding selection, record keeping, milking/cleaning processes, financial management, etc, etc.) In addition, consistent responsibility is required to manage all the moving parts of the dairy farm 365 days per year. High quality dairy products would never find their way to the consumer's table without the execution of all these moving parts. Milk is the only food that comes without a protective covering. There are no shortcuts when it comes to managing dairy cows and their precious milk.
Excellent video. Very informative. Quite the setup. Thanx for putting in the time.
Thanks for the update Jan. Place looks amazing.
Geee, if this video taught me onw thing, it is that milk should be double the price it is. I thnk we sure take it for granted, and seeing just how much goes into making it. I have watched your videos with a facinated interest, but this video just gave me the next level respect for what you, and all dairy farmers do for us all. Thank you
Nice clean organized farm. Takes a lot of work.
Hello Jan...congratulations on your great farm! Clean ! Groomed ! Cleaned up ! A good thing to see. Your dad did a great job investing in buildings, stables, yards and new farmland. You like the FENDT, the CLAAS Lexion and Jaguar, but you can still get them, you're still quite young. Greetings Dieter
Wow, what an operation you have there. Boogles my mind how you manage all that day after day, and that has to be done 365 days a year. Enjoy your videos a lot.
Your farm doesn't look as big in the drone shots. What a total difference with your walking tour !!!! Very large and well thought out for storage, cattle corrals etc.
Thanks for the walking tour Jan. It was really interesting to see how it was all thought out and how it all ties together.
Those heavy boots must have been heavy for all that walking, lol.
Your parents, sisters & yourself can take great pride in such a pristine farm! It's much more enjoyable working when surroundings are esthetically pleasing. My brother-in-law & nephew are 2nd & 3rd generation respectively, (Dutch) dairy farmers here in the Fraser Valley of BC. 🐄
Great farm tour. Have never seen how one works . Very interesting
Excellent presentation, succinct and thorough explanation of the many complexities of dairy farming.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow Jan that was a awesome tour! I knew you have a big operation but didn’t realize how big it has become! Thanks again for a awesome video!!
Your contractor did a great job of making the front of the parlor look great. Love the hefty poles as columns holding up the porch roof. Your Mom's flowers really brighten up the space also. Great to see your Mom on the tour. You did a fantastic job of giving the tour. You did do a lot of walking and thanks for yourv effort. Yuor famr is amazingly beautiful and efficient.
Hey Jan, Allan here from Western Ag Systems in Saskatoon. just caught your video of your barn tour. Really enjoyed it. You explained it really well. Wish you all the best on your harvest.
Very exce;llent tour of the farm, trying to imagine how much money all of this must have cost
"The guy's outta commission right now"! Kinda lonely. 😅 i love that 😂
An arial view of the farm with names of the areas. I enjoy your vlogs and your sisters.
We see bits and pieces of it every video but to do a full walk around all at once brings home how big of a complex it really is. Your parents with the help of you three, Brent and all you hired workers really have created something to be proud of. The fact that it is a family operation and not some big corporate creation speaks to the tenacity of Canadian farmers and their ability to provide a exceptional product for consumers everywhere. I bet 9 out of 10 city folk have no idea what goes into an ice cold glass of milk! Thanks for showing us though.
Don't forget...🍦🍡🧀...just sayin'....
@@mmurphy2317 Yes you are right, I have milk, cheese, yogurt, sour cream, butter and ice cream in stock right now. So you could say I am a big fan.
Love watching this clean Cdn dairy farm. ♥️
Jan, I Really Wish you'd have shown Us Neline's goat shed. I've been curious about where she takes care of them since hearing about the goats. Hopefully you'll give Us a tour of that another time?. Great seeing your Mom❤. Excellent tour, nice refresher for future videos 😁. Thank you. Have a gday. 👍🫶
That may be available at YT "Dairy On The Prarie"??!
Very good video Jan.. The farm Is very nice. Thank you guys
Great tour! Your farm is so clean and neat. You and your family worked very hard for what you have, you should be very proud of your farm. Some people don’t know how difficult farming is. I love watching your videos. Keep up the great job 👍👍👍
Awesome tour video!! Thanks so much. I think an updated equipment tour would’ve very interesting as well.
Very impressive setup, Jan. Y’all certainly have grown in the past three years. Everything is well planned out and ready for the future!
PS There’s a really good movie about the woman who first brought to light the more humane circular ‘round ‘em up, cowboys!’ sorting pen system, as well as the reasoning behind the narrow squeeze chute. The movie is called, “Temple Grandin”. I highly recommend it, especially if you are at all interested in how a farm such a Jan’s operates. She’s an amazing woman!
Dynamite tour, Jan. Thanks!
Awesome farm great tour 👍
Beautiful operation Jan! You and your family have much to be proud of. Thanks for the tour, you did a great job. Blessings from Michigan.
❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
Jan’ you did a hell of job I say that this VIDEO IS A TREASURE TROVE A WEALTH OF INFORMATION AND YOU HAVE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS FARM, and I appreciate you going through all this for us who have no clue about farming, well it was real interesting and informative.
Thanks a lot Jan’ you are a great individual ❤🫵👍🇺🇸🙏🇨🇦.
Wow Jan, that was a really interesting tour. Everything is so well thought through and laid out. You asked if anyone had an idea for a video….. I would find it really interesting to gain some insight into the genetics/ breeding within your herd. How did it all begin? What factors determine the sires you choose to AI with? Future plans re. genetics…..? Thanks so much - from Northern Ireland.
Thank you for the tour!
Thanks for the tour! Your family and team work very hard and have invested heavily on the operation. Very impressive set up.
That was a very interesting tour of an efficient & professional dairy farm. in another vlog you could give an update on the number of employees. I have seen a new face in the milking parlor; but he is probably a replacement for Darma who left. 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜🚜
They still have 4 fulltime of employees.
Thanks for the tour, enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the tour Jan…👍
Great video Jan. Thanks for the tour!
It’s amazing how far you parents have grown the farm since starting in 1996. From 42 to 340 milking heads is quite amazing. Your family should be proud of that fact. Thanks for the tour.
That's one clean operation your family has. Great video! Keep up the good work
Very impressive! Both the video and the farm. Thanks for the tour!
Thank You so much for the great tour!
Great tour thanks. I’m always trying to lay out in my mind where places were and now I know! Great operation.
Thanks for the farm tour!
Great Tour, Thanks for sharing
Always fun to watch your videos Jan, thanks for sharing your family dairy farm. It's an inspiration for my family business all the way from D.R.Congo!
