Planting Oats and New Seeding, New Calves, and a Crop Check
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- It was a crazy busy week on the farm. Alan and his brother were busy planting our last field of oats and new seeding. Alan had the 1256 International on the press drill, and our 820 John Deere on the Brillion. Back at the farm we had 2 new calves born, and Alan went to check on our corn and oats to see how they are growing.
Nice to see a small dairy still in operation.
Thank you!
sooner or later interest rates on borrowed money will go up we will see how long the big boys last I've paid 20 percent plus
@@arthurdewith7608 wow, that's crazy!
Those Brillion seeders do an excellent job. Nothing like livestock on pasture.
I know I'm a couple years late but I love jetta . I saw you have her lick some new calves off that the mothers didn't want anything to do with . I have a small flock of sheep and a mother in the herd that will take all the babies is always an awesome thing . Love your guys videos !
Yes, she was an amazing cow. We ended up losing her to a disease that we vaccinated for. She's terribly missed. On the bright side, we have a daughter of hers.
O no , I'm sorry . I found you guys a couple weeks ago from geriok farms and I started from the beginning so I'm working my way towards the newer stuff .
I remember carryin calves up from the the pasture...messy job...
Id do a firemans carry...and the bull calves would pee down my back...lol
Haha! When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!
Wish you could send the smell of that corn silage with your video.
I love ( and miss) that smell.
Nice you taking dinner out to the field for the guys. My mother quit doing that for me and Dad long ago. We had to pack something ourselves last few years.😭
I always remember Mom bringing something out to the field, and Dad always had a smartass remark that it wasn't quite like Grandma Lipkie used to make.
Nice calves, always great when they are born with no problems. Cows look happy and pasture looks good. Everything growing and new life always a great feeling. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for watching!
Finally some John Deere equipment, I was getting worried !!!!!
Thanks for the great video. I have not seen a seeder like the one with all the steel wheels . It must be pretty old but it gets the job done. Now you need some rain to get things growing.
When it's not all covered in dust it almost looks new. Yes we are praying for some rain.
You have some nice milk cow's. Nice to see a small dairy. Lots all my cow's in the seventies to P.B B . Was 16 at that and milking 36
Oh my gosh! I had to do a google search on what PBB was, I had never heard of that. I am so sorry that happened to your cows. Thank you for the kind compliment.
Your Brillion seeder was made 8 miles from me. Nothing left of the Brillion Iron Works except maybe 1 building. Progress I guess!! Was a huge operation in the glory years.
That makes me sad to hear. I grew up in the Sheboygan area and I’ve been to Brillion before. I always loved the equipment they made, thought the color scheme was unique and cool. Anyway I guess Brillion is still made by Landoll, right? Do you know where they are made?
@@andylieffring3987 Yes I believe Landoll is still making Brillion,not sure where they are located. Ariens Company owns the property and is cleaning it up. Definitely a better option than leaving it just sit.
Normal day at the office!! Cows at the pasture buffet and the crops are a growing!!
Couldn't ask for more!
Praying for some rain. great watching the vintage farm equipment in action. God Bless Trinity Dairy
They sure are not camera shy
Field lunch...Nice! What was on the menu? Crops looking good, and you have some really happy cows there! And the kids having fun with their squirt guns. 🤣
In true Minnesota style, it was a chicken noodle hotdish with crushed potato chips on top. Always a crowd pleaser!
Trinity Dairy Yes, that does sound good !! 😋
Just found your channel, love it, you said you had to google about PBB. There was a movie made in 1981 starring Ron Howard called Bitter Harvest. Make sure if you watch it you got a box of Kleenex. I’m from Michigan and probably have it in me. Keep up the hard work.
I have my Dads brillon seeder like yours but mine is older than me. You continue to bring back memories. Thanks from South Carolina
Alan I think your john deere was made in Germany. We have dad's last row crop tractor it's a 1530 model 1973 3 cylinder. The 820 model made in the USA was made in the late fifties. Horizontal 2 cylinder about 70 horse power. Are 1530 tractor was made in germany.
Alan and family, Just hit subscribe button. Thank you for the work that you do . I believe all farms ( DAIRY) should be ran like yours . Quality, compassion, Hands on family ran farm. Good animal care. More people need to see what you do .to many negative stereotypes. Thanks Doug 👍
Thank you!
Good video, thanks for viewing!!😃👍
God bless
Great video, God bless
Thank you, and God bless!
Cows look good crops looking good. Get an inch of rain and you will off to a great start. Your kids are so cute and funny
Thank you!
The brillon seeder does a better job than a roller. I had a small 10 foot model. It was very old but we always had a good catch. If we planted oats we used our old Van Brunt seeder and like you do we used the Brillion with grass seed to roll the ground. Like your videos.
👍👌🇨🇦❤, here we go, great Friday content
Nice to see the 820. My grandfather bought one brand new in 1969 for $3500 and we still have it. Compare that to today's 35 hp tractors.
My Great Grandpa bought this one new too.
That 10' Brillion seeder looks real handy to have around despite being a little awkward to move from field to field. The ol' IH 1256 sounded pretty good. As did the ol' John Deere 820. Congrats on the 2 new calves on the ground & going. Looks like you guys have a pretty good dairy herd going there. I don't know much when it comes to the dairy breeds but, looks like you've got 2 or 3 different breeds there. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Yes the brillion does the job. We have one of every breed of dairy cow, but mainly Jersey.
..."our 820 John Deere on the Brillion"
Joke is on me !
When I read that I thought the 820 was that big 2 cyl diesel from the late 1950's.
I couldn't figure why in the world you would use that kind of tractor on Brillion.
YOUR 820 makes sense.
Nice tractor for the Brillion !
Yeah I thought of that after, I probably should have specified which 820 it was.
Great video.
Fancy is a beautiful cow.
I like fancy the cow.
Yes I love the wild spots!
Brillion called them a “sure stand” seeder. Should get a nice new hay field there. Alfalfa was my favorite crop to grow.
Looking good the crops so far, do you have any problems whit milkfever cause thats what jersey is known for and whats the average protein level from youre herd , must be high , should make a lot of cheese whit less milk i quess, thanks for the video greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Oh yes milk fever is always our number one concern with the Jerseys. Right now with the fresh grass our butterfat is low for us at 4% and protein is at 3.3%.
Ya dont need lawn mowers, lol, the cows do it for ya,👍
Like that auto steer 😆
Hard to beat an old Sure-Stand seeder, looks like a golf coarse most of the time when you are done.
Great video :-)
Hi guys from Vermont
Enjoy farm videos
Can u do a video of what u do with your bull calves.
Can do!
Hello from Massachusetts!! So fitting that I found y’all on Trinity Sunday 🙏 What advice could you give to a family who had to give up their farm about 3 years ago due to low milk price? We have been so broken-hearted and miss our farm tremendously. We would love our farm life back any advice on how we can make that happen? Thanks for your time and our family is enjoying your videos here on this Trinity Sunday 🥰
Not sure we have any advice, but we are so sorry that happened to you. We've come close a few times, but were lucky enough to take some off farm work here and there to help make it through. We've always thought that if we had to quit milking we would still keep a few cows around to milk for our needs, and then have some beef cows. I totally understand how broken hearted you feel. Farming is a life like no other. I wish you the best, and pray that God gives you the opportunity to start farming again.
Trinity Dairy Thank you so much!❤️
Thank you for watching, and God bless!
Do you still have the property. I Have seen where prices are starting to nudge up a little. Maybe lease a farm off the farm jobs an still milk
I came from no ag back ground wanted to be a dairyman. I started raising bottle calves working on other dairy farms 60 up to 1100 milkers an as a 7/11 clerk.I got my dream my dairy I became a dairy farmer. You can do it wont happen over nite .Make a plan stick to it
Alan, if you don’t get rain how do you water all the fields? Does your area get rain on a regular basis during the growing season? Thanks. 👍❤️
We usually get a regular rain. If we don't get rain, the crops don't get any water.
Both the cattle and crops look good! Sorry Mom, you seem to be the one that always get squirted with squirt guns!! God Bless
Great video! Every body is working. Now a little fun! Squirt guns! How many cows do you have?.
We are milking 34 right now, but total we have about 60.
👍
How big of farm do you have? I was born in Minnesota, do you know where Wadena is? I was born in Bertha 10 miles South of there. I now live in SC.
Oh yeah I know where Wadena is. That's about 100 miles straight West of us. We have 60 acres, and then we rent another 140 or so.
Great video! Are you using those oats for greenfeed?
Would like to combine them, and get the straw, but if that doesn't happen with the late planting, I'm going to bale it.
I’m just finishing up planting my greenfeed mix and praying for rain. We are getting dry.
Yes, praying for rain here too.
I can’t get my oats to go through evenly on my Brillion seeded that’s the same as you got, is there any trick to it
I've never used the brillion for oats, so I'm not really sure.
@@trinitydairy dang ok, trying to find someone who has cuz they either just run though or don’t come out at all with no in between
We always plant oats with a grain drill. The brillion doesn't put oats deep enough. I've never actually known anyone that tried to plant oats with a brillion.
@@trinitydairy what about big grass seed hoe well does that go through the big box
I always use orchard grass seed, and that goes through fine.
Remember the name lilac.lol
Yup! But Jessica wants to save it for a Holstein.
Trinity Dairy i actually like it better for a Holstein. Lol. Are u guys planning to do a live stream. If so I would definitely watch. Love y'all
We haven't thought about it yet. We have thought about doing a question and answer thing, with sent in questions.
Those little dirty faces oh my goodness you don't see kids running a round like as they do on farms well as we did growing up can remember our cows eating grass the sound take me back home.
