Long time viewer and got to say I really like this channel. Eric you seem more relaxed and I'll bet one dollar it's the awesome sleeps you and your family are getting now in the new house. Cheers to all. 🇨🇦
So if you get away from alfalfa. What are your target goals then for planting high protein forages. Im just curious what your rotation would look like. Cause we are going into our first yr of no till.
🚜🌾🧹 Your farm is truly impressive! The attention to detail and cleanliness of your barn is commendable. It's evident that you take great pride in maintaining a well-organized and hygienic environment for your animals. 🌟🐮🌾 Keep up the excellent work, and may your soybeans thrive as you continue to enhance your farming practices. 🌱👨🌾🌿
I was just gonna comment on how clean it is. I've worked at a few different farms. Dairy cows, Cattle, Chicken, and your run of the mill grain farms down here and NONE of them were ever this clean. It's nice to see people taking pride in their work like this.
Well the reseeding happens I supposed, but I know that is frustrating too. The mat grooving looks to me like it will work pretty good, keeps the cost down too, win win. Thanks for sharing, I hope your week is going good!
I love your determination Eric. Especially when important activities like planting don’t always turn out as planned. No time for regrets. Replanting over the first planting was a good solution. I hope it produces an abundant harvest for you. Thanks for another action packed video with great content!
Amazing what you have to do on a farm like this. You are very innovative, Eric. Love to see the cows from time to time. Beautiful creatures and yes some are over curious. God bless you and yours.
Getting a hard pan over the seed is always a great bummer. If conditions are right we can use a cambridge roller to crack the crust open again. But that would just work on tilled soil I guess. I didn't expect you having issues with crusting since you seed directly into the soil.
Another great video! Again, enjoy your explanations. You grooving those rubber pads with that tiny “iron” had to be exhausting! Love seeing the cows run outside and their sometimes silly demeanor and jumping around….
Eric I think you guys will enjoy the Milwaukee brand. I made the switch a couple of years ago and am down to one Dewalt drill driver left. I used my Dewalt reciprocating saw last month and the tool holder failed and went into pieces. Great excuse to buy a new Sawzall.
Turn the cutting blade upsidedown in that iron that's what they call a razor cut when grooving tires it's great traction and doesn't take near as much of the rubber up and you can get several more regrooves on the rubber before having to replace it.
Welcome to the red side! The fuel lineup is awesome, and not too terribly expensive once you have some batteries and start buying tool only. Doesn't take long to get a nice collection going
“There’s always a cow that’s gotta find the weak point in your operation. That’s just how it is.” What a great line! 😂😂. Your arms are going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger after scoring all of that rubber flooring! Lots of neat camera angles and great shots of the cows in this video. Wonderful job! Thanks for your efforts.
Excellent video Eric! Hope you get some rain as needed. Not too much. Not too little. Clearly, you and your family are taking great care of pretty much everything else on the farm. Doing an outstanding job of it as far as I can see. Loads of respect for what you do and prayers for the things that only faith can do. Thanks for the video.
Greetings from Sweden. Been following you since the start. Love watching your videos. I like that you show everything you do, it makes for a good variety in your videos.
My dad (god bless) always used to say that cows were the most cantankerous animals we had; they can be funny and very irritating when they want to be. I always wondered how they made liquorice laces!
You can buy a battery adaptor so you can use your DeWalt battery on your Milwaukee tools and vise versa save a lot of headaches when switching brands. I paint mine according to what adpaper it is and it helps me a lot. I to a two-town pint like red on to and yellow on the bottom so I know it’s to use DeWalt batteries on my Milwaukee.
Ingenious idea to add traction to the floor. Not only do you have to childproof your house, you also have to cow proof your barn. Like you said, there's always one. Stay safe.
Great Job with the new treading in the milking area! Reminded me when you had the concrete scored by that guy. Glad you were able to get on top of that burning in the field. A lot to keep your eyes on but you're doing it Eric and of course your Dad too!!
You need to till your fields somehow. The ground is so hard it looks like nothing is going to grow through that hard surface. Your can hear the planter, when it’s in the ground it sounds like it’s hitting something. Next year make a good seed bed, it will be easier on your planter and the plant your growing will grow better.
Do you ever have to plow up your fields every so often doing the no till method? Nice to see you showing the milking parlor and milking chores of .the farm. Newer viewers may not have seen the “dairy” part of the farm.
Utah has over 150 wildfires right now, the smoke is wafting Eastward and causing health problems in DENVER . PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE monitor all fires carefully, NEVER leave a fire unattended, especially as you say because we are so DRY ,
Those are set ablaze by the elites for land management and smoke out everyone.. also chemtrails spread white fosferese all over the trees and it dries them out and kills them and then they start the fire and we are recording hotter fires then ever recorded because of the fofsferes
"There's always a cow that got to find the weak point in your operation" T-shirt line right there. 🤣
They also make a different kind of tire siper that has two handles and has more grooves so it could get done faster and save your arms.
Yup and you got them on battery to

Great question
hard work, sweat and sometimes tears man. you encourage me

Cutting the grooves in the rubber fits something I always told my kids: "It's really easy, it's just really hard".
Fixing that rubber will be tiring. But you can do it.
Please go into detail about abandoning alfalfa and other feed crops , great work
I your fathers age Eric, and every time I watch your videos I think your dad is saying “Thank God I have such a great son”!!!

🇨🇦 You’re a hard worker Eric. You tackle every job with gusto 😊 Heather D
You do a excellent job with the farm.
I like watching those tractors on the field. From the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲
what are you going to plant if you stop planting alfalfa
More rye/triticale is the spring and double crop soybeans
Love all of your videos! Keep up the awesome content! I'd love to see some 4k videos!
Glad to see your videos. I've been watching others. But am glad to see your videos.
Welcome to the red side! The fuel lineup is awesome, and not too terribly expensive once you have some batteries and start buying tool only. Doesn't take long to get a nice collection going
Team Red! 😅
Sudan grass will make the tons, it's just hard to get dry it has a very thick stem.
The parlor can be an example on cleanliness for sure.

Wowed UA-cam, I'm subbed with the bell on and this is the first video I've gotten a notification for since the new house foundation.
Yea the camera work is awesome thanks for what y’all do bless y’all
Hi Eric and dad awesome video you’re always improving saw Megan she been with for awhile and as always you and you’re families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Excellent video Eric! Hope you get some rain as needed. Not too much. Not too little. Clearly, you and your family are taking great care of pretty much everything else on the farm.

I enjoyed you working in the parlor again in this video. A nice change of pace from the field work :)
It's hard to believe..the cows saw the difference in the floor
You do a excellent job with the farm. Cleanest barn you get 100 from me 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You have to be patient on ground. Special owr ground in se Michigan. But get er done..
Greetings from Sweden.

We just finished the bunch for the neighbor. This is a unusual year😮
My dad (god bless) always used to say that cows were the most cantankerous animals we had; they can be funny and very irritating when they want to be. I always wondered how they made liquorice laces!
Groovy, Man! 😃That looks like hard work, pace yourself. Great show!
Eric, always love to see the work around the farm.
that's actually hilarious its the same cow two separate times
Parlour hygiene is very impressive. Consistent routines and good management shows!!
that made my knees hurt!
Yinz are gonna love the milwaukee batteries and power,,,i switched 6 years ago and love them !!!!!!
Hey Eric.... Thanks for your videos..... it gives us a unique view on life...... Congrats on a nice nice home..... :)
Eric Milwaukee makes excellent powered rachets and impacts. Congrats on the switch to Milwaukee.
great idea for the floor well done
really awesome video Eric. Thank you so so much

We had the same problem with the soybeans 2 years ago on ploughed field. It was rock hard soil
Your a hard workin kid. Much respect.
Hard earned money spent on those Milwaukee Tools heard you loud and clear
Great Job with the new treading in the milking area! Reminded me when you had the concrete scored by that guy. Glad you were able to get on top of that burning in the field. A lot to keep your eyes on but you're doing it Eric and of course your Dad too!!
Cows love to go where they aren't supposed to go! There has to be a good use for the black spaghetti you are making!
Hope this farm thrives always great stuff to watch 🐮🚜
That matting begged for a herringbone pattern; a missed opportunity for some milk-parlor style.
It's been very dry out in Wisconsin too, we've had multiple burn bans already, and a few small prairie fires out in the state lands.
That is a lot of work and hard but your no stranger to that keep up the great work thank for the vids
Why are you moving from alfalfa?
Bummer it's been a dry spring for u and glad that fire didn't spread fast definitely a great idea putting the groves in the floor for the cows
I love cow react the frist time they go out to paster.
You are a stud Eric, keep up the good work.
NOT an easy job. On your hands and knees working so hard. My hat is off to you. Pipe extension is a good idea. Thank you for sharing.
🐄
You need to till your fields somehow. The ground is so hard it looks like nothing is going to grow through that hard surface. Your can hear the planter, when it’s in the ground it sounds like it’s hitting something. Next year make a good seed bed, it will be easier on your planter and the plant your growing will grow better.
For fires on the sprayer should have a line so you can use it’s pump with a fire house
I think I would have built a tool holder to mount that iron in that was heavy enough to maintain down pressure and adjustable for depth and on wheels.
You just never know what those silly cows are gonna do next!
Great video. I love your videos
amazing hard working young man.
Try a circular saw at a shallow setting for doing grooves in your rubber mats
Cows are thoroughly observant. She knew right away something was different with the floor.
You won’t go back to dewalt after Milwaukee. Keep up the great hard work you do.
Another great video
That fire could’ve been SOOO much worse. I’m glad you caught it when you did!
You’ll never go to any other brand now that you have Milwaukee. Top quality tools.
Thanks for sharing!
Very dry May here in Michigan also!!
Your cows sound like little kids getting into everything they shouldn’t. Have them stand in the corner for a half hour. LOL😂😂
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Those ladies are so attentive to their environment they knew it was their smart cows GOD BLESS my brother
All good!!
Milwaukee is very good. Makita is the best. DeWalt has become Harbour Freight quality. Fine for the home owner for occasional light work.
Thanks a lot
that pasture off the barns - they absolutely love it! (compare your production with an operation that doesn't have a pasture?)
no slip - the cows approved it looks like
“ A cold knife through lukewarm butter “ :)
Eric, I have dewalt and Milwaukee. They make an adapter that lets you use dewalt battery’s with Milwaukee, or vise versa. Works great.
Pretty groovy Eric. 😂
i think i could cut those lines, but straight they would not be
Bummer. Too bad you had to re-seed. Good going with “re-styling” the rubber mat. It islooking good.
Grooving that rubber was a good idea. Although I would hope you plow straighter than that LOL
thank you
Set blade depth on skill saw a bit of debris but way easier and pop lines to follow
The Michelin man would be proud.😊

we are entering into an El Nino season, and its supposed to be drier up in your area of the country this year.
you got enough licorice to last a year !!! Good job, greetings from Australia
Taking care of your animals!!
Why move away from alfalfa?
It's very expensive to plant and you can get more tons from triticale and rye
@@TheFarmingLife oh. Thanks. Never knew that.
