Hey thanks for watching the video!
A beautiful dairy. Thanks for the field trip, Jan! Nice job.
Thanks for this awesome video, Jan. I used to pick up the milk from Gracemar in the 80's when it was a member of Fraser Valley Milk Producer's Co-operative Association, and a lot smaller herd. I do believe the flushing system was being used then, and of course, there were a lot more employees.
Jan, thanks to you and John for sharing. Appreciate your time making these videos.
Amazing tour Jan! Much appreciated - your time for the trip and filming, and the farms time to show you around. The manure management system is fascinating all by itself. With the technology of the rotary robotic milking parlor ~ it's all cutting edge stuff. Beautiful to see the mountains in the background. Drone shots were superb. Thanks for the video!!!
That was pretty neat to see a farm of that size. Thanks for sharing with us.
Jan as usual, a wonderful all encompassing and informative tour of the newest technologies! What a wonderful dairy farm! What a wonderful backdrop of mountains! Did that make you jealous? 2-3 weeks of cold there! I thought all of Canada had long winters like yours! It looked like there was a town or a community of homes uphill from the farm. Do they ever complain about the 'smell of money' or does that new technology remove the odor? We live 2 miles from the last remaining dairy farm in Southeast LA county and when the wind was blowing the right way we could really smell the farm. It has since sold out and is now an industrial park. Even the most of the dairies an hour or more away have relocated way north because of air quality standard restrictions. Thanks again for taking us on an adventure and showcase of a fabulous operation!
Wow,just wow!!! What a set up. Thank you so much for sharing.
So you went out to B.C.to round up some rain and drag it back to Saskatchewan, good job. To think this all started in a box stall in a barn with no power and a four legged stool and a milk pail. Then it was carried into the house, ran through a cream separator and taken to town in milk/cream cans to be loaded on the train and sent to the city. This industry has so much technology at it’s disposal now it is hard to wrap your head around. Combining a rotary with robotic milkers is next level for sure.
Awesome video to see John's farm that biggest farm with beautiful cows, milking, good care and good working hard for John! Good visiting with him to show you!🐄🐄🚜🍁🍂👍❤️
wow an exceptional setup. Thanks for taking us along Jan and thanks to your host he did a great tour
I'm a dairy farmer from CT USA great video Jan keep doing other dairy farms when you get the chance
They have dairy in CT? :) Did not know. Just kidding. Dairy here in VT.
@@MrThisIsMeToo you milk jerseys like me or holstiens
@@robert8451 We produce for cheese producers, so Jerseys as well.
@@MrThisIsMeToo I just started processing my own milk over a year ago I do bottled milk cheese and yogurt I'm going to do ice cream next year
Flush lanes are the future
Amazing video Jan. That farm is really innovative. Thanks so much for taking us along and thank the farmer for also sharing.
I enjoy seeing the tours. Every farm is a little different.
Wow such happy cows. The cows wanting human touch and wanting the dog to lick their face! What an impressive operation 👏 Most impressed with cow comfort and cow behavior. What a good life
IKR, ❤❤ why do people eat them?
I love cows so much! I miss working around them big time.
Gracemar Farms is only 5 minutes from where I live. Great family and very well run operation. Good to see Jan out in beautiful British Columbia!
Awesome to see happy cows! You should get that water wash system Jan. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for showing us that awesome dairy set. Good job !!
That was great!!!!! Thanks for the trip.
I saw this kind of rotary when I went to Tulare California and that's where you went for your vacation and maybe you even got to see it at the farm show and now live. It's a GEA, not a Delaval but it's still very efficient. I personally am Delaval all the way. Great video.
Super video. Many thanks for taking us along.
Very interesting the 60 robotic rotary I was wondering if winter hits home yet on your farm can't wait to see more videos
Great work Jan. I see you’re improving in this series. My next critique (sorry😅) would be to pan to what the speaker is talking about as they’re talking. For instance when the farmer is pointing and explaining it, film that instead of him. You can mix it up but I think it’s best because we get a good look at what he’s talking about and they get less nerves from being on camera the whole time. This farm is super cool and modern and I appreciate you travelling and “networking” with other dairy farmers. It’s beneficial for everyone because we can all learn and improve different aspects of farming and animal welfare. I’m interested to know what on-going learning you or your Dad partake in to keep up with best practices and new discoveries in dairy farming. I know the University of Guelph has a big agricultural/animal science department because I studied there myself (different program). Thanks for your hard work, Jan!
Look at those mountains in the background of Chilliwack! Just WOW! Terrific review of one of our automated dairy farms in B.C. A few of the cows were curious and wanting to say hello to you😊 IMO I think the interpersonal touch to and with your dairy cows that you have on your dairy farm matters more. It promotes a work ethic to you and your employees that can only happen when you ‘dig or pitch’ in. Are the production numbers any different between the farms, excluding the diff in number of cows? I’m sure there are pros and cons when “the shitter is full!” aka Christmas Vacation😜😂. The usual argument with the automotive industry. And I might be biased here because I love you and your sisters channel 😊
Hey, I am from BC, I wish I had met you in person. Thanks for showing BC on your channel
Very interesting video wonder what they will think of next. Must be in the Fraser River Valley in British Columbia.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and letting us see it
Wow, there's some computerized milk! Are you able to get a little history of the dairy farms you tour? I lived in Chilliwack in the 1990's and Gracemar was there then. Good video Jan
Wow. Thanks for the tour!
Good video
Thanks, Jan, for coming to my hometown. Sorry about the wet weather, but it's better than breathing in all that smoke.
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS SASKDUTCHKID
Thanks Jan for the video!! Very informative
A beautiful farm in a BEAUTIFUL city (was born and raised in Chilliwack) ... Gracemar Farms is run by a wonderful family.
This is so interesting to see how other countries do their farming
They need tv or music for the cows enjoyment while there going around and around! Lol
Great content my friend. Amazing tour... 👍👍
Excellent Video. Very impressive.
AMAZING…..AMAZING……AMAZING!!!!! Coming from a dairy myself my dad would be loving these nice happy cows….Ive seen robotic dairies before.. but this is so awesome…. I don’t care city folks thinks but livestock whether it’s cattle…horses or pigs do so much better with clean surroundings….These cows are clean and you see they are very happy….What a great operation!!!!! Great video!!!! Thank you so much!!!
What a great video , thank you for sharing and introduction all the information! Where is this farm located! Does it possible to make a appointment to take a visit? Because as a dairy farmer from overseas that I would love to some research on this new technology! Thank you so much 👍
Nice tour & great to see you out in Chilliwack BC my neck of the woods! 👍
Amazing statistics at that dairy, hope you go on more field trips Jan.
Hola Jan!!. Saludos desde Argentina, Fer..👊¡Extraordinaro video, muy muy bueno!. 💻%💯👍👍
En Argentina, hay de estos tambos rotativos, aqui en precisamente los llaman calesitas son muy grandes. ¡Jan buen trabajo en este video!.🚜❤%💯👍👍
éxitos !!!.✊👍👍
awesome video Jan. thank you
That is one beautiful set up, they know how to make milk lmao
Looking good, I'm planning to buy four of them if I can come to agreement with GEA. Happy to see this video, I think it's to correct way for my plan instead of single robots units.
Some smart kit! Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
Great video. Fantastic setup
Great video Jan, thanks for letting us tag along for the ride out to BC! 👍🏻
BIG investment on infrastructure. Amazing operation.
Interesting trip to a nice, clean farm.
We milk in Thuringia, Germany since 2015 with a 50-stall DairyProQ, it was the second one in Germany (or worldwide?). Between 220 and 250 cows per hour with one person at the rotary and one pusher.
Try talking your dad into a setup like that ! Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you that was very interesting you do such a great job for your viewers.
Sand bedding flushing and recovery works a lot better in B.C. than in any other province with periods of severe cold weather. Where every single mechanical / water system you have to consider how it's going to function all winter.
Unbelievable. 32 yrs managing cows in the UK and I've seen all sorts of milking set ups, dung systems, scraping passageways etc but never all together like this, plus a robotic rotary! Fantastic. And all the haters, peta and so on say all these large dairy's are inhumane, cruel, cows suffer??
The cows look remarkably calm and peaceful.
Very interesting operation. excellent interview, presentation and filming Thanks for sharing 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜🚜
I love this
Great work and tech by our Dairy Producers, Pay increases approved by Dairy Board .
Great video and great dairy farm! 1000+ cows, GEA DairyProQ and a Claas Xerion on the yard are normally only seen in East Germany,
Excellent experience
Thanks for the video 👍
Hope you enjoyed BC. I could be a farmer if I had a view with the mountains in the background. But unfortunately I'm in Vancouver and not a farmer.
Thanks for sharing your vid’s with us!
Great show. almost like being at home. I'm in Vancouver, Washington USA
Go WEST young man Go West!! LOL Very fascinating!!
Gorgeous country out there!! ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
Am so surprised with what you sowed us thank you for that!
1:35 That is a huge hornet.
Wow thank you amazing tour
Beautiful.
Well maintained.
🎉
That milking room is amazingly clean I'd hate to hear the poetry when the somthing crashes
Great video state of art milk parlor 😁😁😁😁😁
Great video 👍🏻. Would be good if it was an hour long! Would love to see how the manage their cows from drys to calving then first milking, how heifers manage the first time and a few more stats on the herd performance 👍🏻
Very nice
Finally I’m would be interesting to know how many cows you need to make that setup economically efficient
Muy buenos videos que bonito trabajo bonitos vacas saludos mexico
Road trip cool
Everything is clean and automated
So efficient!
Watching from Australia. Great content keep it up
unique collar on cows
Cool setup.
Very Interesting…..thank you 😊
Jeff, dairy farmer from Pennsylvania. Great video, Jan!!
In Europe, it is now no longer allowed to label products, that are not derived from mammals, as milk. So instead of soy or oat milk, it's now called soy drink. The only exception is coconut milk, because this product has been called that for decades, and confusion with cow's milk is impossible.
That would put your sister out of a job LOL . Great video Jan
She would be happy to be out of a job in the dairy barn. She is busy developing her own business; including raising goats.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦, another Sask boy, me too
Sweet
Jan: "I want a fancy manure system"
Dad(Back Home): "NO" 💲💲💲
What does the Robot do with "Red Tagged" 🔴 cows?
Awesome video. I have a question, when a cow is done milking does she automatically back out, when the table is in position, or is there something pushing them out?
She backs out on her own..
That was very interesting love these videos Thanks so much.
Dairying has come a long way from setting on a stool. Pouring it through a strainer with a pad in a 8 or 10 gallon can. In a chain tie manger
Thank You for the very interesting video
Amazing innovations. You dairy guys are so hard working. Such financial investors, debt managers!$$$
🤙🏻🇨🇦🤟🏻
Éxcelentes videos. Saludos desde Oxapampa - Peru.
This is truly brilliant.
That was impressive
Jan I know it's about the cows 🐄 but your haircut 💇♂️ rocks.
Thanks.
Hello.Welcome to British Columbia.
Thanks, I learned a lot
How does the robot check for sickness, inflamation ?
