Hey thanks for watching the video!
Hats off to California Dairy Farmers as they deal with so many state regulations as well as rising costs and lack of water. Thank you farmers. From Bakersfield California USA.
Lack of water so the crowd the dairies out yet all of the orchards are consuming massive amounts as well and that's ok.
LOL
@@DeKempster just wondering what you think is funny about struggling farmers?

Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals...
Hi
How are you
Where you from
The farm is a well oiled machine. Very efficient and environmentally conscious. He gave a great and informative tour!
I'm sure this farmer is pleased that he gets your politically correct 'environmentally conscious' seal of approval. I'm sure it would be worth more if he knew you were an efficient, and environmentally conscious Newsome asskisser..

Must be an absolute pain to have to deal with.
There is no such thing as an environmentally conscious dairy farm. Yer delusional.
That’s a lot of liquid and water usage per day. This happening in a state where water is low, I’m not sure how environmentally friendly that is ?
He was fabulous to interview. A wealth of knowledge and extremely articulate. I like him. 😀. I can’t imagine all the regulations the state of California has for farmers.
I’m from Stanislaus county. Raised in Fresno, but most of my life is all right here in the northern Central Valley. We dairy. It’s what we do best! Thank you for making this video, it’s a true tribute to our little neck of the woods.
Wow! What an impressive operation! There are no days off for these guys. I grew up on a small farm with a mixed dairy herd, always loved the Jerseys!
Thank you for taking us along, very cool to see how everything is recycled and used. Impressive farm. Gotta love those jerseys. Take care and see you next time
thank
Brent gave a great tour. What a massive operation !
Everything in California in on a different level , no surprize to see this dairy farm so innovative , a perfect match of science ,with technology & environment .
That WAS an "amazing tour!" Thanks for takin' us along...thank Brent too!
Jerseys always seem to have the most curiosity manner of any dairy breed in my opinion! Definitely not camera shy !! Enjoyed the video, nice farming operation .
Big thumbs up to the proud, hard working, innovative, industries farmers at Wickstrom. Thanks for sharing.
What an amazing tour you showed us, Jan! I knew Hilmar was famous for milk and cheese... but I had no idea how huge this place really was! I also had no idea I lived so close to this huge Jersey dairy farm! They also have a good high school football team. We have played against Hilmar in the past! (Go Sonora Wildcats!!!) That is how near we are! Thank you for showcasing this beautiful farm! The town of Hilmar now has a new meaning to me.
Looks a lot different than the California dairy commercial they showed on tv for years. The slogan was "happy cows come from California" and showed dairy cows grazing in lush pastures and relaxing under shade trees.
LOL ±The climate changed a lot and in Californaia you can stolen freely, so better keep the animals well kept inside, right?LOl
What an impressive operation. Fantastic, and jaw dropping. I do not believe most people have any idea the complexity and size of operations like this.
I believe your comment, most folks have no clue on operations this big.
People don't want to know it can be pretty brutal come slaughter time
@@Thros1 yep. My dad was a pretty solid guy. Old school, industrious we had a bakery amongst other things.
We needed extra cash for another business and he took a part time job on the killing floor at the slaughterhouse.
That’s the only job he said he would never do. Coming from him that was something.
Thank you to Wickstrom Jersey Dairy Farm! Great tour, I appreciate your time and effort.
Jan, I have really enjoyed the California Dairy tours. Very Interesting, you've also shown your knowledge of the industry. Good Job!
Again Thanks for sharing. I do like going to other places and seeing how they are running. Thanks for sharing and have a nice safe day!!
Jersey cows to me are so beautiful, there eyes are gorgeous. Beautiful farm!
Great Tour, explaining the huge Jersey Dairy! Thanks.
Great job I learned a lot you guys work really hard on that farm on a daily basis👍🏽👍🏽 some of us just see the milk on the shelf but to see the process is on another level can’t stop watching the episodes your sisters are awesome 👏🏽👏🏽…. Are you guys able to have family vacations
Such beautiful, curious mamas. 🐄❤️
@Mokshya Same with a deer. You call Bambi’s mom “mom” when she’s a freakin picture or a dead deer. Happens all the time.
Jersey cows are my favorite breed of cows for their high butter fat content! Thanks for the awesome professional quality video Jan!
Hats off to this farm for all the sustainable practices from recycling water to installation of solar power etc etc!
I like both Jersey and Guernsey for their high butterfat content.
Best thing I love about my state California is the fun, beautiful places, but I also have a spot for dairy farming, love the smell in the morning
Great report, Jan. Fascinating. You do a really good job with these special videos. Appreciate it.
nice
Brent - glad that SaskDutch Kid recorded all the family's success and your CONTENT COWS!
It's truly impressive to see a dairy farm successfully manage 2400 Jersey cows, especially in the picturesque setting of California! The scale and efficiency of this operation must involve some remarkable strategies. I'm curious, what are the key aspects of dairy farm management that enable such a large herd to be maintained effectively? Also, how does this farm ensure the health and well-being of the Jersey cows while maintaining high productivity? It's fascinating to get an inside look at the operations of such a substantial and well-run dairy farm
Nice layout, lot bigger than my 70 cow of registered Jersey’s . Mine was a one man operation with added help of my wife. Been over 30 years since we farmed.
As a grade “A” was difficult to keep up with new requirements known as EPA. Thanks for the nice tour. Milked in NC
Sweet tour Jan. Nice to hear other farms saying they are trying to do more for the dairy industry. Great tour. Much appreciated Jan! Well done!!! Hope you got some free time while on your trip.
lol, way to go spinning fair labor / wage laws into some sort of evil plot by the government to eliminate jobs. That one job was eliminated but California has a farm worker shortage.
@@nyotauhura7412 I'm sorry. It wasn't an attempt to spin anything. I did not say it was an evil plot by the government to eliminate jobs. I will edit my comment. Thanks for your expertise. Much appreciated.
Awesome to see the water recycling and excited for the methane collection!! Thanks for doing all this for our state!!
Hi Jenny did you remember me
I remember this farm in the late 1970s was huge then and beautiful cows 🐮
Incredibly highly impressive!
My father milked 70 cows in a Stanchion Barn in the 50's-60's....
God bless you and your cows!!!
:)
Awesome to see some Jerseys. We had a small mixed herd and the Jerseys were always my favorite.
Love Jerseys. My Mom was born on the adjacent island Guernsey. She said Jerseys had dark noses and Guernseys had pink ones. :)
Love the farm channels this is definitely the most efficiently run farm I've seen yet.
Very interesting video Jan. Great to see so much recycling. Thanks so much.
Impressive. Thanks for doing these tours. As usual, I learned something from your video. You are the best!!!
That was cool to see how automated a large dairy can be in the barns.
And it is well beyond what he even showed. It's what the farmer is willing to take a chance on. They take a chance and most succeed but some don't.
And it can be well beyond what even he showed. It depends on what the farmer is willing to take a chance on, the expense is huge and they do their paperwork to see if it'll cash flow. Got to make a profit or why would you do it if you didn't make a profit to get ahead?
wow
Fantastic setup i wish to visit this place and get some information specially farm management.
Thanks for sharing such a brief & informative video.
We milked 400 cows north of San Francisco and after touring the large dairies of the south we decided to sell out. In fact a large dairy had bought us out. One of the best days of my life.
sorta like owning a boat
انا أبحث على عمل ممكن توظيف
You have to commend your family members to sustain through everything in the past 50 years that has come through all the legal courts on farming and financial issues which broke many farmers especially in the Midwest… I saw many third and fourth family generations break I lose a farm that they’d work before the 1900s they no longer could afford to Keep! Really proud of your family and I really enjoyed particularly being able to watch this dairy farm as that’s what we had growing up. My father especially preferred jersey cattle as did my mother however, there came a time when I remember Holsteins joined the farm and I did not like them as a child as their feet were SO BIG & THEY WERE SO MUCH TALLER THAN THE SWEET,
CALM JERSEY’s!!!! We were selling our milk to a large grade a company that is still in business and I wasn’t let in on the private decision making process… Rather I just took care of the separator and we were doing everything at that point in the mid 50s by hand and I was never so happy as to see those Holsteins leave our dairy farm a few years later. I know there are people that love them because as you travel across the Midwest you will see farms that are strictly Holstein but I’m with you guys… Jersey all the way❣️❣️♥️
I no longer live on a farm but if I’m painting a baby calf, there’s none any cuter than a jersey calf with his big brown eyes and his big dark nose I looking up at you and there will be a little legs and they are just adorable no two ways about it!!!! Every year than I make it to the state fair in Iowa, I make sure that I make it to the barn where the Jersey cattle are because they always have a cow or two that give birth to a jersey calf and it just makes my day. I would love to see your baby calf barn in one of your videos!! Continue to watch your videos and kudos on making it all these years and standing up through the California regulations. I’m an interior designer and the licensing for California and the rules for building a house is 10 times harder there is anywhere else in the USA FYI. Wishing you the best of luck and kudos on having the cleanest dairy barn I Ever Saw😊♥️🌈
Great job. I enjoyed seeing how other farms operate.
Nice dairy Jersey cows are sure small compared to the Holstein. Really enjoyed this
no overhead frozen doors, ever! great vid thanks for this 👍
A flat barn to collect colostrum. That's a really good idea.
WOW. What a farm, what an operation. I was trying to see where the cows actually slept. Respect to this gentleman and his farm.
I really like this farm very interesting to watch a big jersey dairy farm like this .iam also working in a dairy farm in New Zealand 🇳🇿 but iam from Fiji 🇫🇯 Island 🏝. I wish to work in a dairy farm like this. I wish you all guys for the good hard work all the year and God bless.
Farmers are by far the most important people on the planet. Without them WE ALL DIE.
Very cool on your use of water and soon solar! Don't think I'd drink it but great for crops! You treat your cows well sir good job! There's a lot of smaller farms here in Ohio! To many rolling hills! For big business!
Awesome video. I had never seen a rotating parlor before. Seeing the cows wanting to go for a ride made me lol. Simple pleasures.
They've been selective bred to produce as much as 10 times their natural quantity of milk so they need to milked in order to relieve their distress. It's the equivalence of having 10 or 12 years old with a pair of Dolly Partons bursting with milk that need to have the pressure reduced. It's not a laughing matter. Go vegan.
Thanks for sharing Jan
Super cool to see them go electric - will save them quite a bit on maintenance and fuel as well as keep the central valley air cleaner (every little bit helps that place LOL).
Most excellent, Jan. You are becoming quite the videographer!
Awesome tour ! Nice to see a Jersey farm !
Great tour. Interesting how feeding dairy cows differs by available resources. 🤔
This was incredible video of Wickstrom Jersey Farms operations. Thanks for sharing!!!
Jan, is there any practices you've seen on your farm tours you'd like to adapt to your family farm? Are there any crop types you might maybe like to test plant and see the benefits. Obviously weather and ground types differ from Canada to California, but I'd be interested to see a new crop being planted this year. Cheers
Great tour! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting part at 14:24. I've seen that first hand at my work. Company had to cut back overtime so they brought machines to take over packaging of these perfume boxes. That thing replaced about 8 people over night.
enjoying the tours cool to see
Well done Jan. Another great video. The one thing I got from this one is that it isn't us versus them, it is that they know how to do stuff very well and so do we. Keep farming and keep caring!
hi good girll
Goes to show how much work goes into a Dairy farm very cool.
Thanks, it was awesome to see what others do and how much automated they are...very interesting video!!! :))
AWESOME!...thanks 4 video. be kind.
Thank You for sharing this video with us. Very interesting 🧐
Great tour! Awesome farm! Love me a brown cow! 🐂🐮
We designed these “future “ dairy operations under Mr Glenn Salo at Cal Poly SLO in 1979+or-
It’s good to see his guidance has been implemented
I remember as a little boy growing up down the road from Fresno State. My parents would take me over to see the dairy as a treat.. The students would give me a guided tour, and show me how the parlour worked. Somewhat automated for the Mid 80s but the facility was brand new then.
i love this job.i am srilanka.6years experience.superb job.
Thank you for the informative tour 👍👍👍
That is awesome can't imagine such a place
thanks for sharing!
Really nice tours you have taken us on. Did you bring home any ideas from this to use on your farm?
They can get 50 tones of silage per acre! 😱 we got 1.5 tones thanks to the drought
Awesome!! Thank you Jan!!!
Super farm and farmers.
Thanks for your video! I'm learning English as well as about farming!
Very interesting video it’s a good setup it’s has massive milking parlouts
Such different farming styles compared to ours here in New Zealand
I invite u Jan to come for a look if U like got a spare bed to sleep! Lol
Great awesome video Jan, nice big Jersey farm ,
Wooow it's insane. Good job bro. Now you are editing videos well.
One of the top jersey herds in North America
I get the impression with all types of modern dairy operations that it is about feeding, slurry and Muck removal, with milk as a by-product. That's not a criticism at all, it is an amazing example of logistical problem solving. It would do credit to a modern military operation. Well done - from OZ.
this is a really nice set up we had a dairy growing up when the hersey plant closed ended us thanks for the imfo ..alot more cream in the jerseys what is your milk sold for cheese I also worked on a dairy in Idaho and the milk was shiped to Turlock
I love your Jerseys cows.I love your farm buildings, best of luck for the future in jersey cow farming from patrick.
Really great dairy farm.
Neatly maintained
That’s a lot of jerseys 👌 they look really nice 🤙
Excellent and efficient operation thank you 🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂👍👍👍
Great looking Jerseys.
Very nice operation very big but it looks like you have a pretty much under control so keep up the good work and I wanna watch beekeeper fortune God bless
Great farm. 👍
I love Jerseys.
Greetings from Poland/Europe 😁

Hats off, very very impressive and the most amazing thing is cows diet.cotton seeds are pure cream and very very strong diet.sorghum silage is way more power ful diet than wheat and corn silages.2400 cows and same acres of land to grow food for them.really amazed and wish these people more luck.
How big is the land?
How big is the land?
Great your! Awesome milk set up!
cool amazing it's looks so clean as well thank you
Loved this video. Great job!
Very interesting! Not many Jersey dairies around.
As I watch your videos, I have questions like these for the owners...For example, how did they evolve? What systems are in place to make sure that every cow gets milked? Milk tank capacities? Milking parlor costs? Etc.
Great VIDEO thanks for sharing
Greetings from Jersey 🇯🇪. We have milk every morning from jersey pedigree cows. The best in the world!
great video - amazing farm
