    Something I failed to mention in this video is this dog was extremely aggressive towards our middle son and the baby. To the point he even got in my space and growled at the baby while I was holding her.. he got ahold of a chicken and before we took him to the shelter.. he wasn’t chipped but they said he will probably get adopted fast.
    I see a lot of really rude comments over a dog… Come on people..

    I certainly hope Corbin takes pitty on that poor sweet puppy and sneaks him some food. He doesn't know his way home or he'd have left by now ,he's only about 5-6months old because that's when they routinely neuter dogs.... He's lost.! As a kindness to the owner who loves and misses him please feed him!!!

    Corn is a very very heavy feeder. It needs lots of fertilizer and water. Particularly nitrogen before it tassels and calcium nitrate when it tassels. A good dose of triple 15 from Lowe’s at pre-plant, knee high, shoulder high, then one more time when it tassels. If it’s not raining twice a week keep it watered. If the leaves start to roll up it’s stressed out. Don’t let it stress out. Keep it weeded, hilled, fertilized, and watered and normally you have good success. Also, plant your rows a minimum of 30 inches apart and thin your plants to about 8 to 12 inches apart within your rows. That gives the pollen ample room to fall all the way down into the surrounding plants when the wind blows. Plant your corn plots in a square or rectangle as large as you can. If it stresses too much it will try to reproduce before it should and that’s when you get short stalks and low production

      I would instead invest in efforts to build the soils beneficial microbial and fungal life. That is where the real soil wealth is achieved. I currently own land that was plowed and fertilized for two generations with manufactured fertilizer for row crop production. The soil is lifeless and dead and works only as a medium to hold more chemical fertilizer in order to grow something.

    Hey Ben, I grow Painted Hills sweet corn and it grows anywhere from 5 to 7 ft. Yours growing consistently short is most likely a nitrogen problem. I always add extra blood meal to my corn beds as it is a heavy feeder. I also cover the stalks with compost and horse manure after the corn is a couple of feet tall. More nitrogen and keeps wind from blowing them down. Painted Hills is a cross of Painted Mountain flour corn and Luther Hill sweet corn.

    If you can't find the owners, keep him. It's rare for a pup that age to be so well adjusted to chickens. Usually they go for them, especially if he's hungry. So he'd be a very good fit. Besides a few sleepless nights from howling, he should learn quick enough to stay outside.

    As you said yourself, he is just a puppy. I'm glad you at least gave him water but if you aren't going to keep him what's the harm in filling his belly? If you aren't going to feed him, take him to a shelter. They now have chip readers and will try to find his owners, or take him to the vet. I like you, Ben. I watch your channel but I'm not pleased that you wouldn't feed a puppy. and take him somewhere where his owners are probably looking for him. That's not too much to ask. You'd appreciate the same for your pet.

      I see a lot of homesteaders on You Tube treating dogs badly, why I have no idea, dogs can be good workers on a farm, but they also need to have love and be kept safe. I am genuinely disgusted by how some treat their dogs and cats.

    • @melaniebaugh361
      @melaniebaugh361 2 роки тому +1

      I think some of the homesteaders take to heart the Joel Salatin and Greg Judy gospel. They aren't pets and consider the mindset of survival of the finest. Which can be a method for managing animals on the farm. However, domesticated animals that can be dependent on people, regular vet care is essential. Dogs and cats may be work animals so if they are not going to eaten have yearly maintenance fees for vet care.

    • @mona-faerose3878

      Maybe Ben could post the name of the shelter where he took the pup. That will enable to owners to more easily find him if word begins to spread about the pup showing up at Hollar Homestead. (Fireworks can make dogs run very far from their original location so the owners may not know to check with shelters at a distance.). Also, I’ll look at NC Anatolian Rescue groups... breed rescues tend to network really well.

    When you own a lot of land and animals, dog's belong outside. Not every dog is an indoor dog. We had 5 acres and our dogs protected all of our animals from Rattlesnakes, coyotes and from bobcats and sometimes other dogs. One of our dogs saved my life. I'd be dead if she had been in the house.

    You’re “just grow stuff” garden is fabulous Ben.
    The very best thing you could do, and actually did, was to take the dog to a shelter. The owners likely didn’t consider fireworks might cause him to run away and the first place for them to check would be a shelter. Sadly, too many people ignore the effect fireworks have on animals.

  • @bigrikstube
    @bigrikstube 2 роки тому +1

    WOW, so much to comment on. Stray dog, you took it to a shelter; good job. I didn't bother reading comments on this as I'd assumed from the beginning you'd take him to a shelter so his owners could find him. Grubs, HEY, you got chickens man ;). Beetles: diatomaceous earth; just mix some in a spray bottle, or my method, a pressurized tank and spray the areas they are feeding. It rinses off in rain though but is safe for your family and deadly to beetles :). PICKLES. Oh yeah, I can see it now, "Holler Homestead Pickles; limited supply" ;).
    Oh, and are chickens the best gardeners or what? Hope you have room for all that harvest you'll be doing, tomatoes out the ears, potatos, watermelon, cucumber, beans, beans, beans. Hugs to you and yours and thanks for sharing your life with us; it's an immeasurable gift.

    Being a "dog person" all my life, my heart melted when I saw the pup following you as you did chores. What a sweetheart of a dog. However, I feel you did the absolute best thing you could do, given all the circumstances. You didn't deserve all the negative comments people left, Ben, and there's no way I'd abandon your channel because you did what you felt was best. Especially if he showed any aggression toward the kids, regardless of the reason. Caught you between a rock and a hard place, it seems. I do hope his owners thought to check all the area shelters and he was reunited with them. ~ Re Butcher Box: You guys are THE reason I finally signed up and started ordering from them, even after hearing about Butcher Box for two years. You gave their products an honest assessment compared to animals you raised yourselves, and I was impressed. Been a happy and satisfied customer ever since.
