    I recently found your channel and really enjoy it. Having worked with a poultry farm and being from a rural area, and understanding a lot of the effort it takes to run a successful farm operation, i just want to say thank you to you, your dad, and your entire family for your dedication and commitment in providing a quality product to your community. Everyone thanks the military and emergency responders, but very few thank the people who keep everyone fed. The people whose job never ends. The people like you. Thank you. And God bless.

    You Erik live an incredibly dangerous profession. The HD equipment with sharp edges drives me and your insurance carrier over the edge. But tell at least 1 to 2 people where you are and task. My son in law cousin was killed last year on a dairy farm in Connecticut. He was working alone when a hydraulic failure pinned him to a wall & ground. So my respect for you is over the the top. Peace!

I just love the sound of that heavy rain coming down on the roof. We have a big old 15' x 35' corrugated tin roof in the backyard for the patio, just love the sound of rain coming down on it. Keep up the great work, love seeing videos of you and your dad working together.
