I love this whole operation bill could have his own UA-cam channel he explains everything so well and you can tell he's a hell of a good guy thanks Andy for showing us this project
Great video Andy very interesting operation. That gentleman you can tell has been doing this for a long time, he knows his stuff. And the knowledge you have in farming is over the top 2 real experts in there field.Have a great weekend everyone, be safe.
There was a farmer who had a generator almost just like that you had on the tractor and back in 1990 we had a huge tornado hit our town and the power and water was out all through the county luckily he lived down the road from us and we were able to go to his house and get showers and stuff I bet there was at least 20 families who came over to his place and he helped everybody he could even though he was a real butthole anytime you talked to him he did help people when it counted lol thanks for sharing
This guy is awesome. The amount of pride he has in his work is second to none. Think of all the cool stuff he’s done and seen in his career. Hopefully he’s got some ambitious youngsters who want to learn from him and pass on his legacy.
For anyone that doesn’t think the loss of the “baby boomer” generation to the workforce is going to be felt, just watch this old boy still going hard at it.👏👏
Great video series. Bill is such a wealth of knowledge. What a great guy. It was nice he let you film him and he talked so well. I like his stories about the gas wells…
I highly enjoyed the well drilling series…very interesting! When they drilled my well the driller walked the property with a forked stick dowsing for water ..
My Grandfather over saw oil driling for SOE-SoCal but retired before I could get into it so I love hearing Bill taking about it...Thanks to Bill and to Andy for taking the time..great stuff.... Be safe....carry on!
That’s a beautiful sight. That’s the pay off from drilling a well. I’ve drilled some you hit water it blows over the top of the rig. It’s amazing the water you hit sometimes.
Th drill guy is a great guy for letting you video plus he sounds like he has a lot of stories to tell from a long career - would be an interesting guy to have a beer with
My drilled well here in Falmouth, Maine is 778 ft. Deep and stamped @ 50 gal./min recovery which is the most a well can be stamped here due that it can't be measured over that. Given the proximity to the Atlantic, salt water is a major concern.
Fascinating explanation. We have a 300 foot 6 inch drilled well that provides 7gpm artesian. It feeds our 5 acre lake power free. We also bring our household water in from that supply with a booster pump at.the house. Been running 35 years and never sputtered.
Hi folks 🎉 Hi Andy 👋 really informative video great content. We have learnt a lot super bit of kit that drill. I hope it all works well. I loved watching as always Thanks Andy 🎉😮😊
A good well-man is in dispensable. We have a couple down south (NC) who have invested in the modern equipment and still produce good water producing wells. There are an abundance of poor quality drillers.
Here in Chas, SC we hit water at 12' but you sure as hell don't want to drink it that shallow. Decent drinkable water starts at around 30' but the good stuff starts at 90' - 200' depending on where the sand deposits are.
Is your rig a GEFCO 30k? I learned on cable tools..speedstars..several rotaries ...Portadrill 10G and TKs then GEFCO 30K.. now a have a year old GEFCO 30K. Sold out seven years and 9:06 my crew is working for new owner. Company now 101 years old! I loved the work!
Its really cool to see some one from my town of Alden doing work for you on the farm that far away ,how did you get hooked up with him ,he's a good man
Great video Andy.50 gallons a minute is good but 140 is phenomenal . About how much do they charge to drill a well up there in the Syracuse area. Diwn here in NC a well 200 feet deep into the Castle Hayne aquifer would run between 9 to 10 thousand dollars. By the time they have the casing put in ready to pump water
You need to dig down around that casing and put a septic tank or pipe or something ordered a 4 ft or 6 ft don't use metal use plastic or concrete and Meghan about 6 ft deep and with an open straight above the well then you can run off the side of that to your barns or whatever and won't have to worry about freezing and you can also take the pipe out whenever needed he could also bury a 10,000 gallon tank at your barns to pump into underground that way the water would freeze if you bury the tank
How many cows u milk at a time a nd what type of system do u have if u don't mind me asking we milked in a double 12 herringbone l. Love milking everything there is associated a Dairy farm
Hi Andy. With the size of the roofs on the cow barns - have you considered installing water tanks to harvest the rain water from the roof to satisfy your water requirements? It would seem an easier cheaper solution rather than drilling wells.
Smmh where do you come up with these questions seriously?! Like what goes through your mind to ask a question that ridiculous? Oh yea you're the person who thinks they know everything about farming and everything else! And by the way I've been around cattle tobacco corn and beans longer than you've been alive! Guarantee you never dropped sticks cut or hung any tobacco in your life!
The driller was very gracious to let you film! That's what being good and having nothing to hide looks like. Honest good, man.
I love this whole operation bill could have his own UA-cam channel he explains everything so well and you can tell he's a hell of a good guy thanks Andy for showing us this project
Hey Andy... great video. Really appreciate Bill letting you film him and really enjoyed him explaining his equipment and his process. Thanks again!
20:21
Andy, thanks for asking those questions.
I've learned a lot listening to Bill's answers.
2 legends in their fields talking shop. The knowledge between those 2 has to be endless.
I’m on the senior side so I appreciate how your driller handles everything on his own. Great guy.
I have never seen this whole process before, so it was fascinating. Bill is a real font of knowledge. Thanks for sharing this whole process Andy.
I've only seen three wells drilled. Never seen one done by one person. Kudos to him and his rig.
Amazing operation, what talent this gentleman has , stay safe !
Hi Andy !
Good job and very good result for this new water for the farm .
Thanks Andy for your time and have a good day !
Great video Andy very interesting operation. That gentleman you can tell has been doing this for a long time, he knows his stuff. And the knowledge you have in farming is over the top 2 real experts in there field.Have a great weekend everyone, be safe.
Literally 2 experts in the field lol

Never been around a water drilling rig. Thanks for the explanation and videos. Great job.
You never to worry that life will get boring. The farm definitely keeps on giving you new surprises.
Hello Andy alot of knowledge in drilling a well. Hope this will produce for you. Have a great day
U should ask him if he can add the barley and hops to it so you don't ever run out of adult soda. It's just a thought
Really liking this project Andy. I can watch all the video you can send us on the well project including the testing & plumbing!
The well driller makes it look easy. Certainly has a lot of knowledge. Interesting. Thx.
Glad for you Andy, GOT WATER! Mr Bill, sure knows his game.
For anyone that doesn’t think the loss of the “baby boomer” generation to the workforce is going to be felt, just watch this old boy still going hard at it.👏👏

I highly enjoyed the well drilling series…very interesting! When they drilled my well the driller walked the property with a forked stick dowsing for water ..
Seems like it might be wise to run a line separate to the barn(s). Having more than one water source is a blessing. Great video as always. Cheers :)
You can tell that ol boy has been doing that his whole life. All the actions are very smooth and using the shovel to hold the cable spool is great
Very simple explanation of a very complicated process. I like that guy!
My Grandfather over saw oil driling for SOE-SoCal but retired before I could get into it so I love hearing Bill taking about it...Thanks to Bill and to Andy for taking the time..great stuff....
Be safe....carry on!
Thanks Andy,another great video! There’s a lot more to well drilling than I ever imagined.
You can tell Bill loves his job and he’s a tough old bird
Wondering, what does Nate think of the well? 😂😂😂😂
Bill is a college educated geologist, it shows.
Good show, keep up the good work!
JIM ❤
That’s a beautiful sight. That’s the pay off from drilling a well. I’ve drilled some you hit water it blows over the top of the rig. It’s amazing the water you hit sometimes.
Nice to hear your driller tell use all about how drilling works.thanks again.😊
Got some education today. Awesome. Thanks Florida Joe
Bill one heck of a driller, we mainly see him working by himself. Wow.
That old guy is in pretty good shape but looks like he needs a young helper though Another good one Andy KEEP THEM COMING 🐄 🚜 🇺🇲 🌽 🐘 👍
Th drill guy is a great guy for letting you video plus he sounds like he has a lot of stories to tell from a long career - would be an interesting guy to have a beer with
Looks like a lot of heavy work for Bill, he must be very strong, must take a toll on him though.
That’s a good ole fashion, hard working man right there.
My drilled well here in Falmouth, Maine is 778 ft. Deep and stamped @ 50 gal./min recovery which is the most a well can be stamped here due that it can't be measured over that. Given the proximity to the Atlantic, salt water is a major concern.
Very impressive drill operation and a lot of knowledge
This well drilling series is pretty neat
Fascinating explanation. We have a 300 foot 6 inch drilled well that provides 7gpm artesian. It feeds our 5 acre lake power free. We also bring our household water in from that supply with a booster pump at.the house. Been running 35 years and never sputtered.
Between drilling cost, getting power out there nearly a half mile and the water back to the barns this has to be a serious investment.
Probably the financial equivalent of 20 good milking cows.
Fascinating videos of the drilling process. I had never seen that before. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Great video good to have a back up water source good thinking 👍🚜
Thanks Andy, all your videos are interesting but this one is up there
Enjoyed the videos on this operation thanks andy bill seems a good guy and knows a lot of knowledge on this
That’s the first drill rig I’ve seen that one man can run by themselves.
That old man has got some power behind him. He's tossing that steel around with little effort. I can only hope to have that at his age.
Hi folks 🎉 Hi Andy 👋 really informative video great content. We have learnt a lot super bit of kit that drill. I hope it all works well. I loved watching as always Thanks Andy 🎉😮😊
Holy shit Bill forgot more shit than I know that's awesome he's a book of knowledge
Thanks Bill !
Thanks Andy very informative 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
Well Hollywood can add well drilling assistant to his vast portfolio of jobs 😂
Very kool process of seeing how that gets all set up thanks for showing us
That's a full days work- cut hay,report on the well progress.Fine job, miller time.
Like your videos … always a lot of action going on almost all the time … more so than grain farming
A good well-man is in dispensable. We have a couple down south (NC) who have invested in the modern equipment and still produce good water producing wells. There are an abundance of poor quality drillers.
I would like to watch the final process and see the water flowing.
Good to see you hit water
Thanks Andy for another great video.
Great Vid Bill likes his job he wants to do the best...Good Man ol Bill 🕳🕳🚜🚜🚜🚜
Another great vid, both entertaining and informative plus 26 mins in a "Dumb why's to die" moment.
Good job Andy
Enjoyed the video. Mike 😊
I learned a lot on well drilling cool
Here in Chas, SC we hit water at 12' but you sure as hell don't want to drink it that shallow. Decent drinkable water starts at around 30' but the good stuff starts at 90' - 200' depending on where the sand deposits are.
this water ring is a smaller version of an in-land oil workover rig...usually oil string on these rigs, run 3"-4"...with 4"-5" casing..
Thanks for the footage and the description.
Is your rig a GEFCO 30k? I learned on cable tools..speedstars..several rotaries ...Portadrill 10G and TKs then GEFCO 30K.. now a have a year old GEFCO 30K.
Sold out seven years and 9:06 my crew is working for new owner.
Company now 101 years old!
I loved the work!
Its really cool to see some one from my town of Alden doing work for you on the farm that far away ,how did you get hooked up with him ,he's a good man
Nice Rig 👌 I Hope I'm still Drilling when I'm his age 💪
Did Mr. Frey ever milk cows? The way he moves makes me wonder, Thanks for the video I hope you are having a good day.
He seems to very well in shape for his age, I'm 40 and pretty worn out in the body with damages and by the looks of it he'll outlast me!
I think so
Enjoyed the video Andy 😊
Andy, can we have an update water 💦 video when you get around to IT ;) Thanks 🙏
Nothing yet
Well thought out rig that
65 feet deep well on my dairy in Michigan.
Andy, how about a video of all of the equipment laying in the brush around the well
Tillage equipment
Good video Andy!
Great video Andy.50 gallons a minute is good but 140 is phenomenal . About how much do they charge to drill a well up there in the Syracuse area. Diwn here in NC a well 200 feet deep into the Castle Hayne aquifer would run between 9 to 10 thousand dollars. By the time they have the casing put in ready to pump water
Nectar of the Gods for every thing that lives.
What did that cost to drill the well.. very interesting. Thanks
You need to dig down around that casing and put a septic tank or pipe or something ordered a 4 ft or 6 ft don't use metal use plastic or concrete and Meghan about 6 ft deep and with an open straight above the well then you can run off the side of that to your barns or whatever and won't have to worry about freezing and you can also take the pipe out whenever needed he could also bury a 10,000 gallon tank at your barns to pump into underground that way the water would freeze if you bury the tank
Wells are from 200 to 500 ft deep. Wells are very neat.
That's a deep well, shallow wells are anywhere from 30' to that 200' mark.
Thanks
Most interesting how it all works
How many cows u milk at a time a nd what type of system do u have if u don't mind me asking we milked in a double 12 herringbone l. Love milking everything there is associated a Dairy farm
Double twenty
Most of the wells that were drilled on our farm hit gas, but not enough to be worthwhile.
Any idea how many gal a day your farm uses?
Couple thousand
Andy , can you devert the running water out of the well into a nearby field ? Very interesting
Love these videos would have like to she her pump water though
We’ll get some pumping videos here soon
How far is the well from the main farm?
Half a mile?
He shows that at the end of the video.
@@OOpSjm yep. Jumped the gun on that one.
Hi Andy. With the size of the roofs on the cow barns - have you considered installing water tanks to harvest the rain water from the roof to satisfy your water requirements? It would seem an easier cheaper solution rather than drilling wells.
Probably not, cows drink a equivalent of a bathtub of water each day, and they've got a pile of cows
Smmh where do you come up with these questions seriously?! Like what goes through your mind to ask a question that ridiculous? Oh yea you're the person who thinks they know everything about farming and everything else! And by the way I've been around cattle tobacco corn and beans longer than you've been alive!

@@George-dy3pt @ Karen...... triggered????
Interesting
Hey Andy what are you going to do with the wheel water.
140 gal/minute 😳 that would be something
Looks like it would be real easy to lose a finger.
And some other limbs! Lmao
How deep?
pump is around 85 foot deep in the well screen they placed, the casing stops at about 80 foot deep.
Your well driller is losing his ass!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I missed something earlier but what is this well going to be used for?
Drinking water for cows
