Trench tip: After placing the pipe/wire/conduit in the trench fill with 6-12" of fill. Then place caution tape in the trench. Then continue to fill. Years later you'll hit the tape before the pipe when digging.
You can also put in sheets of siding, like the stuff from the old barn. That would also protect it from rocks above puncturing whatever line is in the ground and spread the load, so they're less likely to get punctured by any rocks below.
The amount of work that you have to do so I can have a gallon of milk is phenomenal. I appreciate your work ethic and will never complain about the price of milk again. I know the farmer only gets a very small portion of what I pay at the store.
Eric you and your dad make it look so easy working a farm. I realize you and your family have been at it for 10 generations. I don't think the viewer's could keep up. Thanks for what you do and for the big part your family plays in keeping America going.
It makes me nervous that you work on that rusty metal covered with poop with no gloves on. You are quite a seasoned equipment operator. Very impressive.v Very glad the new well worked out for you. Great video and thanks.
Congratulations on finishing the install of the new well!! So much to do and so little time. With the farmers work ethics it will all get done in due time. Love your videos Eric an I really appreciate all the extra time and efforts it takes to keep the channel going!!!
Just finished your latest video. You were the first Farm video I ever watched 2 years ago. Still watching. Great show. Really really enjoy seeing the progress you and your Dad have made in your farm. Congratulations! Looking forward to the future.
10th Generation Excavation & Utility Co. Good to be all around knowledgeable with this work. Great job and I will take a tee shirt with the new excavation logo when you get them 👍👍
I’ve learned while watching these videos that you have to be party dairyman, part veterinarian, part wrangler, part mechanic, part farmer and the lost goes on. These are all skills that can be taught in school but clearly you learned them as an apprentice alongside your dad and that’s the best way.
It's wonderful to watch you and your dad working so closely together. You are both so talented and knowledgeable in dealing with each aspect of your farm. You have to know EVERYTHING! Love your new barn and look forward to watching your farm grow. From southern West Virginia.
When talking about your farm you use “they” as in when they put this in, when they built this, etc. Are you talking about older family members or previous owners? Thanks for taking the time to video, edit and post. You have a great channel.
Eric I'm impressed with how straight your trench you dug with the backhoe, you got some nice soil there. Here on the Big Island that bucket would be wore down to a nub from all this Lava rock we are on, lol. Love you videos buddy, God Bless and Aloha🤙🏼🤙🏼.
Nice new well ya got there. 😁 Seriously though A new well is a blessing. My neighbors have to truck in all their water. Arsenic levels are super high in the ground water.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 An open area ful of rusty old nails! That you all just dropped onto the ground when taking down that metal. When doing something like this, we always had a pail below each of us, to drop the nails into. I hope you're going to go over the area with a big magnet to pick upmost of them once you are done dismantling! Otherwise, you'll pick them up one-by-one for years to come, usually from out of the tread of a flat tire! Or the hoof of a lame cow.
I was born in the mid 60's...back when kids respected their parents and did what they're told. I see the bond and mutual respect that you and your Dad have for each other that's often just a remnant of the past. Much respect to you both.
Something that may be of interest , in my construction experience the best magnetic sweep for picking up nails is a 30 or 36 inch AJC with adjustable wheels , if you can find one you might want to run it over where the old barn was
Great video!!! Make sure you pay attention up on the roof I was doing some work on a roof turned round to speak to my friend just in time for him to disappear through it. He landed on some machinery and died instantly .
Eric, at the end of the harvest season, you all need to have a party 🎈! You made some big Accomplishments! And deserve it. Invite friends and neighbors, FUN!
I used to live 2 miles from a quarry. It will absolutely mess with your water table. I had a 75’ well and after they blasted one day, I had no water. They denied it of course, but then new well I had dug I told them not to stop drilling until I had 25 gpm at 65 psi. They went 230 feet through solid limestone to get that rate. When they hit limestone, the rate per foot doubles. With the pump it cost me over $10k. But we’ll worth it! Pun intended limestone wells are the best water you can get from what they were telling me
You may want to put a new post in now while its fresh job site,good luck with the pump We put one in 3 weeks later lighting strike took it out so we replaced it 😉

Interesting, thanks for the tip
This is what we do on construction sites , you will be glad you did if you ever need it and wish you had if you dont
I'm exhausted just listening to all the work you did. Water is a precious commodity, nice to have enough.

That was a ton of work and improvements done in a short amount of time. Great description of all of those improvements. 👍👍👍👍👍💯

Your dad is brave in his crocs with all those nails laying around
Glad no one got hurt during the demo of the old barn. It can be unpredictable as to how things are going to react when tearing things down.
Great job Eric. Hope you put a lid on your well. The water and electric line looks awesome. Thank you Eric.

Rarely is anything simple or inexpensive! Good job on the waterline.
Its nice to see neighbors sharing equipment .

It must feel great to get so many priorities accomplished!
Good job!
You should do a farm tour sometime. I’d be interested
Same😃
My carpenter son has a 30 something inch magnet he rolls around the job site when done, works good..
I sure do like our new barn and water well! LOL God Bless!
The post is there for loads coming down but also for uplift from wind
You folks are one hard working family!
I’m thoroughly enjoying every video you show us of your big project ! You guys are really doing a great job! 👍
I love watching your farm grow. God has blessed all your hard work.
Great that your new water supply is all hooked up and running. Thanks for the interesting video.
It's wonderful to watch you and your dad working so closely together. You are both so talented and knowledgeable in dealing with each aspect of your farm. You have to know EVERYTHING! Love your new barn and look forward to watching your farm grow. From southern West Virginia.
These videos are so entertaining. Always stoked for the next one!
Lots of new open space. Put in a large pool and patio. BBQ/cook patio area. Best to have an above-ground pool. Keep the cows out.
The cows will be healthier if they could get a just prior to milking swim in....plus their teats will already be chlorined....lol....
Looks great Eric. Thanks for taking the time to do all the filming/editing. It’s been very enjoyable to watch!
Awesome job guys! Can't wait until it's harvest time.
So happy you got that big project done. How nice!! Great video thanks 🙋♀️😊
you may want to take a heavy duty magnet over the area where the old barn stood.
Ya think
Thats what I was thinking. Especially b4 they start chopping corn
Hey Eric we in California are envious of all your water. Thanks for the video!
All that is awesome. Great job digging the ditch. God Bless all
Very awesome to see your progress. Being a retired GC, I really enjoy seeing a father /son team getting stuff done as you all do.
Thank God you have that UA-cam revenue to help pay for these upgrades. You’re a blessing to your father, mother, wife and family.
Eric, your editing is spot on. You tell a story I can follow.
Very impressive job! Things are looking very nice!
Yall are saving so much money by doing as much as you can on your own. Congrats on that! Thanks for the video everything is looking so good!
Great camera angles! Great work Eric and dad!
Exciting times moving forward.
Cheers. 🇨🇦

You never fail to educate and entertain me. God bless.
Great jobs ,, and super idea on a pipe from the 70's,,,to hook up today..
You have all of the fun toys. Must have tough skin also handling the metal siding and wood. No cuts or splinters.
Another great vlog Eric. I'm pleased for you and your family
A very interesting video about your work on the dairy farm again 👍👍
I think that’s why he has the number of subscribers he has. Continues to impress me.
Progress is progress! Rip old barn. Cattle moooooving to a new place.
Nice new well ya got there. 😁 Seriously though
A new well is a blessing. My neighbors have to truck in all their water. Arsenic levels are super high in the ground water.
Got a lot done. Can't wait to see your efficiency go thru the roof.
For now I'll enjoy watching you literally go thru the roof! 🤣
Glad to see you guys went with a constant pressure system.
Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
Loving the construction videos !
Eric awesome video. You guys are busy. Great improvements. You must be happy with them! 👍👍👍👍
You will need a girder beam on that short part of the barn as you know wind is quite tricky. It will give you pease of mind
Glad to see the well is working... Well.
I'll get my coat.
Nice to see improvements coming along
I love when the post was pulled and fell, someone yelled "TIMBER" LMAO
The scrape ally of the old barn could make a good spot for the bag of feed that y'all been having done up
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
Congratulations on 350K subscribers!
Great work guys.
Good job digging the trench!!
This whole process has been interesting.
Things are looking good, thank you
Great awesome video Eric, congratulations on 350000 subscribers,
can't wait to see the heifers and the new heifer barn. I don't know what generation I am but am farming here in (greetings from) Ireland
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC
You have come a long way with your dismantling of the old cow barn. I'm curious what will be created there.
It will just be an open area for now

Thanks for the videos, could you do some drone filming so we can get a better understanding of the buildings and farm layout.
Good job on the well , see ya on the next one
Make a point to finding all those nails. They will come back to bite you. Good job guys.
Great dairy stuff
Gloves and eye protection are very important
Great work 👍
Glad you’re well is working out
Hope you have a map showing water pipes, electric etc. Its getting complicated on the farm! Lol
Wishing you all the best.
Must feel good having all that water now! 👍🏼✝️
Love the channel, keep up with the videos great content

I agree Penny I'm tired lol good things happening on the farm love your videos
A lot of money and work to make that barn function but totally worth it
Eric...you bashing the tin in double time....beast mode!
Very nice video👍👍
Hello Eric keep up on the videos you are my favorite UA-camr
Nice clamp, or coupling as we call it. (I work for Victaulic 😁)

Wowzer u guys been very busy with ur upgrades. But upgrades r always worth the fuss and muss.
Have you thought about rebuilding the feed mixer building looks like shes got a lean to her?
Still works and isn’t dangerous

@@beckyumphrey2626 Yeah thats him, he said "god" gave nicole cancer because her family are sinners
That well is vulnerable. I would surround it with BOULDERs so a car or something won’t damage it.
