Your husband has gotta be one damn lucky man married to a beautiful southern woman like yerself. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you. I'm far from perfect, but he loves me anyway. :)
several things here I really enjoyed, first you complimented your husband way to few wives do that. your camera work was great and you shared a great story of the job being accomplished on your farm. my brother works at the Pig and I know exactly what you mean about places where everybody knows your name. I saw the NCSU decal in the window, GREAT! Soybean Farmer, NC born and NC raised just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the kinds words! Yay for another NC native - we are few and far between anymore, it seems. :) Glad to have you following - I can be a hot mess, but I love sharing and finding others who can relate to this life. Take care, hope you are hunkered down for the storm.
what a sweet and beautiful young woman.
Beautiful country farm girl and that accent what more can you ask for awesome videos.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like them :)
It's a fact Angels are alive and doing their thang...
You never did tells us what "nabs" were. Thanks for doing this. I enjoy watching you
Every farm should have a heeler 👍
Well I think so too ☺️
I could listen to her talk all day
I never seen a dump like that on a silage cart but I've never been around farming that much just what I see from the road driving by
Hay saw your video on making hamburger patties with the plates I'm now making better patties firmer rounder better thanks
Yay!
Good video Meredith. Hope your beans are turning out good. Looks like y'all had a good time with the photographer and interviews. Good to see the kids having fun and I enjoyed seeing Lawrence having fun telling stories. I could talk to him all day. Stay safe out there working.
Shark farmer sent me here. He's obnoxious but not all bad
Haha...yeah, he's alright. ;) Thanks for listening and subscribing! One more on way to 1000! hahaha
I worked on a ranch/farm one summer back in the 70's. God that Foreman worked my @$$ off ! Exhausted every night I came home but I learned something everyday ! I didn't want to be a farmer !
Love your videos amazing
Sometimes I hope that you are just pretending to be working out in the cow pasture feeding and getting filthy with all the mud that y'all have to wade through just to make these videos. I like to think it's your hobby and you really don't live like this. All I can hope for is that you are genuinely happy and content with your life. There are not many women that would want this kind of life I'm sure, so I'm in hopes this is just a front for you to have a utube channel and an outlet to keep your sanity. Your husband should treat you more like a lady because you are a lady, not a Tomboy type at all. I just wish life was better for you.
Is that white pickup Yours?? How long IS a trip to siege spot? What does silage wind up doin??
The white pickup is our farm truck. Silage pit is ½ mile from house.
Love how positive you are❤😍
Thank you! I try. Harder somedays than others
Way back in the sixies we were able to shop at "PIGGLY WIGGLY",then they downsized and left San Angelo tx.We loved shopping there.In the summer when it was hot we hung around the asiles where all the coolers were just to feel that wonderful refrigerated cold air When.growing up this was the closest we got to having an AC.LOL
5 seconds in. I subscribed cause i love the way she says Load after Load.
LMAO.
Hahaha well thank you. Someone else un-subbed because of my accent. Can’t please all of y’all. 🤷🏼♀️
This Farm Wife - Meredith Bernard I subscribed because I love farm life ,My husband is a trucker he hauls feed,cows ,grain
@@smilyblessings1315 I appreciate you subbing! I'm sure you can relate to a lot I can. :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just started watching your videos. Do y'all raise black Angus? That's what my pawpaw raised he farmed till he had a stroke at 88 yrs old. These videos make my heart Happy
Yes, we do! We run angus bulls and most of our cows are angus or baldies. Thanks for watching. I'm glad it brings back good memories. ☺️
Dark 30 only in America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤗
Since you guys do a different type of farming than I did it's always interesting to see what's going on. Thanks for sharing and take care.
nice video -
greetings from east frisia
Lol you crack me up! Great video! Love the music!
Thanks girl!! :D
American Beauty!!
Haven't seen an old clay silage pit in a long time. Brings back memories. The farm life must agree with you. Very pretty lady.........
It's not necessarily ideal, but it works. :D Thanks for the kind words!
my wife is a cow whisperer too, they know she has treats, the horses will follow her to town if she leaves the gate open. Thanks for sharing, good life, good wife.
Treats win! Ha. Thanks for watching!

Yeah what he said!
Another awesome video. I grew up on a small dairy farm in upstate New York, so I have a real appreciation of your level of commitment to the farming life you and your husband have chosen. Keep doing what you do, I’m sure there are many of your subscribers that look forward to seeing and hearing about “how it’s going”out there on the farm.
I like your videos what part of the south do you live?
Thanks! We are in North Carolina on the central NC/VA line.
What did SOUTHERN STATES use that truck for?
Sorry for the double comments but I do like that about y'all is nothing fancy just hard working families, that a North Carolina traditional thing that we are losing little by little, the old things like my grandpa, just don't make'em like that anymore, 😉
At 42 sec. It's a Richardton dump wagon made right here in North Dakota
The Pig,we have one here in Independence LA.
My fave!
We used to have Piggly Wiggly's around here about 50 years ago
🤦🏽♂️
Oh wow that brings back so many memories and I always loved doing it and if you wouldn’t mind I would love to come up there for a visit and maybe can help in some matter just let me know if it’s okay
Awesome TY for sharing piggly wiggly
There are still a few around
Jaki masz samochód???jestem Polakiem i trudno mi to rozkminic po tym jak wygląda środek bo u nas nie ma takich samochodów jak u was...
this is the shortest one I seen of yours or maybe I just seen the long ones first lol. Sometimes you say something I would say because I had a older dad so I learned a lot of worlds that are not used today but it makes talking to me more fun I think
Interesting process, ingenious wagon unloading system! I've not seen silage in a pit prior to this.
HI you look lovely my dear Meredith Bernard . I am look hat all your video

What is a nab. Did I mess it
@@ThisFarmWife_ Lance brand... If it's not Lance it not a pack of nabs...Pepsi and peanuts is my favorite 😋
I just found your channel...So interesting...I subscrided..😊
Thank you!
lol tell we r having fold overs lol a slice of bread folded over wish we had some meat
Love your videos ....... can't stop watching them ..... they all bring me home ..... the most touching was the sound of the rain hitting the leaves of the trees ..... that is such a serene sound .... an then dealing with the cows .... you an hubby are an All American couple ...... thank you for bringing me home ..
Thanks for watching and the kind words. I'm so glad you can relate!
Its hard work. way different to city life . Its easier to just do a days work and finish at 6 pm and get your wages and have a good time !!
Wait..... what’s a “nab”??
Gorgeous enjoy your videos
hi, i just subscribed, what a nice family! fyi great beef stock starts with carrot, celery and onion along with bones roast in the oven 2 1/2 hours last half hour add tomato paste, put all in a large stock pot 6 hrs.............the best stock !
Aw thanks for the sub and the recipe!! Appreciate both!
Love the smell of sweet silage
What happened to the Nabs you were going to get? Did I miss something? I didn't miss those sammiches.. They looked good..
No, I forgot to include them lol
Loved your day on the farm!! Why is the silage being dumped in the trench?? I thought it was supposed to be transferred into the Silos??? Sorry for the dumb question but Im a city boy. Thanks for sharing.... Ax
Axerxes no dumb questions! The pit is where the silage is kept and where it ferments under cover. Silos typically store grain. Some of my other videos show silage being taken out of our and put in feeder to be fed. Thanks for being here and asking!
May I ask You to describe just "what" is silage??..... How many Guys?? How far to the wedding?? About "how many hours for travel and actual wedding??
It’s chopped corn that is packed in a pit and “ensiles” ie ferments and makes good cattle feed. A lot of dairies use it. This wedding was only 30 minutes away and I worked there 8 hours.
We did the same thing you lose about 5 or 6 inches under the plastic.Each year replacing the plastics can get expensive. One year we switched and stoped the plastic. In stead we planted winter Rye on top of the silage and two things happened First we lost a little more some spots we lost 10 in. The second that happened we sent 75% less money. Buy a 50 lb. bag and experiment with a 3 foot section see what you think.
Ah, interesting. I feel like maybe we have done this before, but I'll ask hubs
Gurrrrrl! I couldn't be more proud of you if you were my own! I was reading Progressive Farmer today & just started reading your article & thought man, this girl can write! I thought I was sitting with you & your grandma eating collards!! Then I saw the name!!! I tried to call the 2 #s I had for you & got Jason's VM. Anyway, reach out to me, I'd love to catch up!!! ❤ Lisa Perry
Aww, I'm so glad you found me!!! You can email me at hello@thisfarmwife.com. I miss you so much!!!!
GREAT video 👍
Grew up on small farm in Iowa.
Cool to see someone showing WHAT it's REALLY like
Thx
GREAT video 👍👍👍
Well, it's what it's really like here anyway haha. Thanks for watching and letting me know you are! Happy New Year's!
If you like nabs and a soda, i am sure you like RC and moon pies. Also, that road would not be so rough it you get rid of that NC state hat and sticker. Sorry my diaper were Carolina blue. (and my brother is an NC state grad, had to pull for the other guy). great vid and miss the NC accent.
Haha yes RC and moon pie is a southern staple, isn’t it? And I won’t hold being a UNC fan against you. I was raised an ABC fan...anybody but Carolina. My mom was as die hard Wolfpack as they come. Both parents worked and retired from State. It’s a fun rivalry!
I remember making grass silage in an above ground pit made of steel posts and heavy planks. Packed it with a small Massey tractor. backing the loaded truck up and dumping on an eight ft. high silage pit was kind of fun. Also fun to watch the local Robins and Thrushes get drunk on the fermented silage juice.
LOL picturing birds drunk on silage juice is a funny thought
We have had multiple Blue Heelers growing up on our WI dairy farm. They are fantastic natural cow dogs.
I love them so much!
👌
Love the show and I know talking and having content is always a thing, but your still young, one day you'll miss those old rds and paths because progress seems to always kill our at the time backroads and things but once there gone and you get older you'll remember these things and wish they were back again and become so nostalgic when you happen across a old dirt rd or path that takes you back to a better time, believe me I'm there lol, old as the hills and miss some of the old things,
I totally get what you're saying. I feel like an old soul now and really see those kinds of things, too.
Hmmm honest question from a non farmer in cali, why does the grain get "buried in a pit" ? Interesting to know where and how my food is processed so thanks for sharing that
Sure! When it gets covered like this, it ensiles it (ferments it) and lets it keep longer. It's great, high nutrition feed for cattle, especially dairy cows.
i love all you videos thank u
Your a sweetheart
Where is yalls Farm located at
We are in NC, on the central NC/VA line. :)
Awesome, I grew up on our Family Farm in North Texas ... So I’m very Familiar with every bit of yalls Daily routines & chores ... Silage Season is my Favorite time of the Year , bcuz we Custom Harvested
Can't beat the pig. Baca nabs lol I'm from NC myself down near lumberton.
@@chriswhite4596 Sweet! I'm glad to have you here :)
@@FiremanSVFD-cf1jn YASS!! Someone who gets it. :) Glad to see another NC person here!
How many acrea do ye have? ye must have enough to make a living !!
Farm is 1000 acres
What is silage?
Not sure where to post this but I have been reading/listening to your blog post this evening and am deeply moved. Thank you for what you wrote. It was things I needed to hear right now.
Aw, you can contact me here is fine. I'm so glad you heard something you needed to hear, that's my goal. I figure if I need it, someone else might, too. Have a good day.
Good living.
Me apaixonei por você, i love you.
its a small pit of silage ye must have a small farm?
Pretty small compared to some for sure
Love your videos Meredith, particularly your captions(or is it annotations? I'm not sure). Who doesn't talk to their animals? If you don't talk to your animals there's something wrong with you. How many acres do you farm? Thank goodness for friends and neighbours when you live in a small town. Have a great day Meredith!
Thanks Keith! We farm enough acres lol. Around 1000, but some is wooded. And talking to animals is completely normal around here. And talking to myself. :P
Hott!!🔥
lovely video, beautiful part of the world you live in. Bonny is sweet 🐕
Thank you!
You never show your husband videos
He’s not much on social media or videos
For a woman it's reallygood
Ummm...thanks. I think ;)
Thank you for doing what your doing....
Thanks for watching ☺️
Tank you vidéo magnifique super moi de suisse
Nice video but it looks like your pit was a little bit too wide. We always used plastic not tarps. You can throw away the plastic as you feed. You need a cowboy hat. And you have great legs.
We have plastic under tarps. I have a few cowboy hats. And ... my legs are just legs. I’m glad they work and allow me to work. 🙃
I'd never seen a silage wagon that dumps itself like the one you use. Interesting. Are you feeding silage now? It's supposed to be below zero here this coming week, I'm trying to prepare. I'm about crippled my knees are just about gone. I won't be able to walk before long. Take care of your legs. I've been 5 bad wrecks that wasn't my fault; fell head first off a two story house. I've been broken up many time. An accident can happen in an instant. Are you writing your book? Be sure and make plenty of pictures for the book. My friend here is selling his books and doing real good. Later gator.
1000 acres is a big farm we have only 100 lol
It’s not all pasture or crops but it’s enough to look after lol
Just discovered your channel!! Always glad to watch a family farm operation. I'm in near Augusta, Georgia home of corn, cotton and peanuts, where are you guys?
Thank you so much! We are on the Central NC/VA line. Augusta is also home of large gnats and mosquitos, am I right? haha
@@ThisFarmWife_ Yes, we do have mosquitos and gnats but we are the home of James Brown and the Augusta National Golf Club where the Masters Tournament is held annually. Thanks for the location too. My mother and her parents grew up in Wilkes county NC in the Western part of the state at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains. I loved to go there as a kid. Oh, I'm 65, just for reference. :)
@@jbmbanter I know about the masters, just giving you a hard time. ;) Wilkes County is great! Love the mountains. And you're young is what you're saying. Me too. Sorta.
Meredith, what camera are your recording with?
I only use an iPhone :)
@@ThisFarmWife_ , my 10 year old daughter is all about wanting to be a UA-camr , trying to learn as much as possible. :)
Yes 😉
isnt red dirt a song? lol
Yes! Ha
Do y'all live in TN, AL, GA, KY, ?.
We are actually live in North Carolina on the North Central NC/VA border.
How many cows do you have
WOLFPACK girl!!
Yes! Through and through. 🤘🏼
Gracias 🤗
What kind of chopper was that was it a gehl .. that's what we have . and I hate salage time lol
Yes a Gehl! Are we farming on the same farm lol?
@@ThisFarmWife_ i'll get some videos of our stuff and put on my channel for you
@@ThisFarmWife_ if he has a 4 row john deer planter set on 30 inch rows it maybe same farm lol
Ensalge
I n Western Kansas if you don't have a pile of silage on your window your not close enough to the cutter
If I could I would get you a four wheel stigert with a pre solution to keep the silage fresh for your son
