- In this video we are doing a lot of things on the farm! Jim has started discing with the horses. Our friend Leo stopped in with some bee boxes. We got the sawmill running, and we finished up the greenhouse.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

There is something really funny about Jim taking a call on his cell phone from the seat of his horse drawn cart.
That's what went through my mind, too !! The "old" and the "new"
working together, side by side !!😂
That's the thing... Jim's horses are not old fashioned, they are the best choice for their farm
Icycle everywhere, I think it will turn out that cars were a big mistake, and active travel is the future 😅 maybe
What a blessing it is to have William working for/with you. And what a blessing it is for William to have y'all. I love seeing the three of you work together. Can't imagine how Jim got it all done before Brenda stopped working off the farm.
Jim was 3 or 4 years younger. That would help.
The bees dont want to sting you Brend
If they do they will die. They only sting if they think you are threatening the hive.
White/ light colored clothes don't look threatning. Dark clothong looks like a bear.
of course they may hover around you 20:22 20:23 20:25 because you are so sweet ! 😊
Things went at a different pace back then, plus there were only 2 teams, just 4 solid dependable aged horses. He bought Duke and Earl, then Baron, along came Bree, then lost Buck, which forced Baron into the work he needed. Training takes a lot of time, what I call "makework" and total number of horses is 7. They never waste a minute, what with sawmill and carpentry and inevitable and constant breakdowns, often expensive. William is a real handy fellow and now indispensable.
@@kenj7222 my dad worked his cattle and bailed all the hay up until his arthritis got bad enough he couldn't get around the barn or workshop. He was past 85. Farmers tend to keep going until physical ailments prevent them from moving.
Your little dog likes to oversee the work
Holy smokes, I can't believe how much work must be done to own a farm. No wonder so many of the children offspring from farmers and ranchers want to leave.
Many of those who left would give anything to get back to it. There is nothing lost by working. It keeps you healthy and fit and active. How many young folks do you know who can do what Jim does in a day, and he's a year older than me. Kids get seduced by television and the promise of an easy life, but life is hard wherever you live it. At least on the farm you get the joy of seeing things grow, and of being out in the fresh air, and of being independent. You don't worry how you are going to pay your utility bills. You pick up your chainsaw and go cut wood.
Ken is experiencing his first spring plowing without his partner Buck.
Second, isn’t it?
What happened to buck?
Up,until this year my daughter had bees. Her son in law has inherited them, however, I haven’t heard much about them this spring.
@@marianneschacht3799
Buck died suddenly, black Percheron was Ken's team mate, sad but perfectly timed for Baron to come into real work. Ken has been coacher for all 3 young Suffolks.
@@marianneschacht3799 Buck died of a colic a year ago in January, and yes, I think this is Ken's second season without Buck. Baron got put into the lineup early because of Buck's death. To be fair, Buck was about the oldest draft horse I've heard of still working. He was amazingly sound and healthy right up until that last night.
The eclipse map for Monday shows upstate NY is pretty close to the complete totality. Maybe Monday video (or livestream?) could show if the animals have any reaction to it?
I've always heard birds and chickens go to roost during an eclipse! We will have to see if Brenda notices her chickens go to roost!😘
this would be neat if you could video the whole hour or so of an eclipse 2024.. they say where you folks are it will be excellent in the northern new york.
WOW! This was a very busy day for y’all! Jim, I’m glad that the new motor for the sawmill is working; it sounds good. Now you’ll be beekeeping… as if you didn’t have enough to do. Brenda, love the additions to the green house.
BEE,s? Some times when farmers make a deal they get stung. 😂😂😂. I helped a neighbor with his extracting. The aroma was heavenly. ❤❤❤
Great filming with the three horses Brenda, super when you get up close as well. Thank you.
Can't believe it is dry enough there to work ground, we have nothing but mud here in Ohio.
Tennessee too
What a fabulous video! Never a moment wasted, 3 Suffolks hooked up together, bees, sawmill fixed and garden bed. William is such a boon, you don't have to teach him, he just gets on with it and can be trusted.
"Duke's tired!" Good honestly undamaged weary, the state at the end of a big workout that makes a young horse into a great horse.
Greetings from Australia.
Thanks Jim and Brenda. After about a week of cultivating they'll both be ready for some road work, with Ken or maybe Baron in charge on the near side, near being nearest the traffic. I do suspect Baron got roadwork before you bought him, not at all afraid and goes wherever he's pointed.
Greetings from San Diego, CA !!
Always enjoy your videos and realize that farming is NOT for the faint of heart. Lots of labour , sweat and sometimes a few tears !! But ALWAYS worth it in the end !!
Jim, glad to see that you took my advice to have honeybees on the farm. We are also putting up swarm traps here in central Illinois. We run 10 production colonies of Carniolan honeybees with 2 backup colonies. There are many native pollinators, and with honeybees you will have increased crop production along with great honey to eat.
I raised honey bees in Iowa. I have not seen wild honey bees in years. Corn and bean fields everywhere seems to prohibits the wild bee population. However in the Sonoran desert in Southern California, where I winter, the wild honey bee swarms are active and moving about. No pesticides in the desert! Jim farms organic! A bees best friend!
I get so nervous watching Skippy around the horses and the farm equipment.😊
Really, really enjoyed the mix of content today.
I know you had 4 horses before getting the colts and then losing Buck. But aren't you glad you have 5 and Lady (for her exercise) for the spring plowing? Then Bree and her sibling in a couple of years!
Thanks, Brenda, Jim, and let William know we appreciate y'all!
Close to 100 000!
I love it when you go up to the horses up close and pat them and talk to them Brenda!
Good morning I’m a bee keeper also. I enjoyed and now getting my grandsons to enjoy it too. I wish you great luck in capturing the natural swarms. That is really the best way, but it takes a lot of luck too. When I looked at the size of his frames, that’s the part that goes in the box that the Bees build on. It looks like he’s going to be using a different type of Bee box. You might wanna ask him if you could build him some big boxes.
I'm a bee keeper in Ohio, noticed the tall frames as well. Leo must be using a Layens hive....which is much better than a Langstroth hive.
Yes, I'm hoping to use layens.
I’ll bet your pup sleeps well , that youngster is always running !so cool , dogs are cool
Bees will be a blessing for the garden on top of great honey!!! Loved the 3 horse hitches and the many combinations of the horses. Blessings
Printaboul = Gaëtan
Wow ... I'm 73, and this guy add to the intensity of dreaming that Brenda and you induce into my mind.
My turn to be thankfull ... or gratefull.
I hope Leo will make some future appearance.
Get one of those bee hives that fill their own honey jar
What an interesting day. So glad you got your Sawmill working again..Thank YOU LORD.
Brenda is going to have a beautiful garden again. The horses worked so well together a lot of firsts. If I get up a ladder, it wont be when I am seventy. ! Hope the bees like the capture box.
Hi there,l am a bee Keeper,s wife.I can't work for them.I am allergic to stings.Our younger son helps his dad and uncle.😊
How nice to have bees on your property! You'll love the honey!!
So glad you got the sawmill motor fixed!! 😊 your horses are so good! Faithful! Glad they were rotated off & on!
The plants in the cold frame are going to feel warm * pampered!!
Lots of manual labor going on!!
Oh! I love the doors for your cold frame!! That's an awesome setup!! Great video!! 💕
It's great to see all the different combinations of horses drawing the harrows , driven by Jim and William. The greenhouse extension looks great and looks very functional. If you step back in time to the 1950's in my personal memories on my grandfather's farm in Prince Edward Island Canada. Who farmed close to 200 acres with 5 teams of horses and a lot of help from the family. It was great to hear the new Kohler Engine start up on the sawmill.
Great variety. Will be fun to see all the Suffolks working together! Green house looks great and I’m glad you got your sawmill motor fixed!
That is fancy Brenda and Jim I love how you have the colts working they're looking great.
Interesting episode. Bees, harrowing, saw mill engine motor. The horses, greenhouse getting fresh soil. Thank you, ❤😂 😄
Skip is a great inspector!
Got bees here....produce own queens to
Ken has done this so much he was probably looking to see how good a job was being done. 😊
Okay,,,,, here's the latest "buzz" from the Gordon's. We're raising bees!🐝
Jim, Brenda, wow!, what are you feeding your black Pup?, is he/she part border collie, he/she is full of energy and constantly on the run. Thanks for the video!
Stay safe and healthly.
Oh my goodness, we are a rural retired couple and we certainly enjoy your videos. Keep up the wonderful videos. We love Bri.
Love to hear that leather creak on the harnesses brings back memories
This was new for me - I have only seen beehives standing on the ground. 😊
Another busy day on the farm…good to see the sawmill operational again. God bless.
Jim & Brenda, I love watching your videos. I'll admit that I'm pretty ignorant about horses and farming as I come from a line of city folk. I've always been fascinated by farmers and especially the way you farm using horses more than tractors (I like how Jim utilizes machinery when that is the best way to get something done but he prefers the horses). Watching how you all interact with your neighbors and your animals is so refreshing. I come away from watching your videos feeling as though I learned something and feeling refreshed (due the lack of negativity with an abundance of respect and kindness). Thanks for always begin a bright spot in my days.
Not sure if I posted this earlier or not..cant find it if I did..so again..lol..cant wait to see the 3 Suffolks working together.. the colts have come along nicely in last couple of months..a credit to you both...
PG here yes we do keep bees. Michelle is Bekeeper and Everyone pitches when she needs help. We have lost hives and we have captured some. The Honey is wanted by everyone. It is very precious. Michelle puts some in pints to keep the give away smaller. We do not sell it.
Ha ha you got the bee keeper in on April fools day. he ain't there for bees he is just there to pull your leg.
Good afternoon you two always happy to see an upload from you guys ❤oh wow cool three horses amazing so cool to see them all hooked up ready to work….that field is looking great Jim love how he is removing those rocks good job will be good to see how that field produces for you .. oh the bees will be a great addition …..oh my goodness l love your green house it’s coming along great so much going on there today I’m loving it ❤❤❤
Bees are a nice addition to your farm.
Love your videos and enjoy watching. May the lord bless and protect you and Jim and the horses.and Jim working the horses
I started bee keeping back in 1972 and still at it.i use lemongrass oil on a cotton swap and put it in the swarm traps that also attract bees too.honey bees do not pollinate corn, wheat, and a few others.corn and other certain crops do that on there own by using the wind to carry the pollen from plant to plant thats why corn and wheat is planted close to each other.ants are another pollinator people don't think about.they carry pollen on their feet when they walk from flower to flower.
Looking at Ken, Bill, and Earl, all I can see is Neapolitan. Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge about bees, I learned something new.
Thks. New to this. Hope to learn as well.
I cannot wait to learn more about bees! What a treat. I love Brenda’s hot house. The outside boxes being heated is such a great idea. You guys have the best ideas!
Bonjour madame Brenda,monsieur Jim et monsieur William. Je vois que vous profitez bien de ces belles journées de printemps! Bee and hive are very interesting,I wish you a good harvest and lot of honey! For my part, it is the first time that I see hive in a tree. Very interesting and I imagine the honey will smell the good parfum of wild flowers.
Monsieur William is a very good helper. Rock…my God, sometimes they come back year after year!!!
I real enjoy this video and thank you to share those moments on the farm.
In north Québec, we still have ice on the lake. We had snow yesterday. My Lord.It’s windy! Well, May will come back!
P.S:
Green house ! So nice!
And please,once again, excuse my mistakes. I love so much your video!
I find if the ground is warmer is grow better for me jim . That just my two cents, cattle 🐄 corn 🌽 we cover with a growing white plastic because we a short season in the Newfoundland. 😊
We call that discing
Wow! That ' cold frame ' is fantastic!
Could you bring the breeder of the colts in for a visit and show him where your at with training them... as a breeder I like to see my babies IF they are doing well and cared for.
Merci Brenda pour cette initiation sur les ruche, j'espère que tu nous fera un suivi sur cette expérience. Merci pour tous ces bons reportages et bonne santé aux chevaux.
Brenda, that's a pretty nifty greenhouse you've got there! And the smile on Jim's face when he started up the new motor for the sawmill was just priceless! You guys are getting a lot accomplished.
Will be interesting to see bees this summer. Looks like tileing that field is paying off. Lots of good stuff in this episode!
My Husband and I love watching your videos,we also spend a lot of time out in our garden or in the woods cutting firewood and logs.We can’t do much outside yet, our winters here in Newfoundland, Canada usually last till late may or early June .it maybe spring but it is not allways spring like.keep your videos coming we certainly look forward to watching them.
Loved the sound of the clomping at the end of the video!
Best sound in the world, isn't it? The only better is a team of carriage horses. 😀 I might be a little prejudiced though. I still miss my little team.
Must be nice having William around to help with the teams?
EARL !
Looks like there are a few big rocks popping up to be carried off.
Great video
Other than Skippy running around the disk harrow. Watching Leo put the bee box up in the tree was the most dangerous thing I’ve seen done on your farm
I only have to remember, you can't fall up, you can only FALL DOWN. 😂
True Ben but Jim cutting that big pine at Paul Smith College was and is fairly dangerous as well .😊😊😊 Ps when you know what your doing the danger is less .😊😊😊
Iike the green house.. God bless
After 35 yrs. as a beekeeper (until 84 yes of age) I enjoyed seeing the the bee man. Will the bees be welcomed into the new greenhouse, Brenda?
Sure, as long as we both mind our own business😀
I wondered if this was the year the colts would go to work. Baron was kind of forced into it.
I recall from 'Dances with wolves' that one brave died because he had to make room for the lutenent, maybe that is why Buck died. He knew Baron would get better training if he was gone. Just a thought in my old mind.
What did we do without phones in the past 😂, really love to see the all sorrel in the mix ,
Hope all of you are OK from the earthquake. Including Abby. Prayers, thought about you when I heard. How did the the horses act and dogs?
Wonder if the Gordon’s felt the earthquake.
Don’t forget your soil will settle in your new 😊 raised bed! It’s going to be your favorite for early greens! Love, love, love the cover(s) for your cold frame! ❤
I used to ask my Dad what color t rex was😂😂😂.He would say I never should have taught you boys to talk. I told my parents that I won the lottery of life sharing their journey❤❤
🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 Putting the hives up is one thing, But getting d. honey is a definitely another...
Quite a beauty !!
..............G'day,
Wow, good progress on the readiness for more garden and crops. I enjoyed the video and Lady looking big.
Cheers,
Malcolm.
Honey Bees And horses don't always coincide well ,sweat around the horses ears can realy get the bees attention . This can be more noticeable when flowers start to go away .for us ,that is July & August that is the start of winter I have had draft horses & honey bees for over 35 yrs. Best tasting honey you will ever taste comes your hives!
Looks like the field is fitting up really well
There is always something to do on a farm. Skippy has so much energy. He must crash at night. Thanks for sharing
The green house extensions is gorgeous and my mind thinks of everything you can start and plant in it.
Thank you for sharing.🐴
The bandsaw motor should get better with time for break in time on motor piston cycle rings Jim . 😊
That disc looks like a Massey Harris by the hitch on it
excellent day on your farm,a lot getting done and super advancement on the horse training... can't wait to see how the young ones do in the morning ..as kenny g has a rest..,bill and lady..😊❤❤❤
Thanks 👍
Kind of strange seeing a farmer working horses taking a phone call in the field.
Ah ha😅
Jim you will have bees. I had bees and loved them. Got to darn old to lift the boxes full if honey. I did same thing catching swarms.
I used LEMON OIL as a bait attractant. It really worked.
Another wonderful video, Jim & Brenda!! Just love how you just chat with us as if we're visiting with you in your living room. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us! Love from Virginia 💕
c'est super comme vous travaillez chez nous on devrait le faire aussi merci à vous
Duke, Earl and good ole Kinney what a team. Can't to see Baron Earl and Duke. Great job.
I think I heard Jim tell the bee guy it was April 1 ( when this was filmed?) . I also thought I heard it wasn't felt further north.
Love your greenhouse! Your are going to enjoy it so much.
What a great day to see so much done with you Jim Brenda and William. William is a blessing to you Jim and Brenda. Great work ethic he has. Seeing all the horses being used is wonderful. Bree probably said whats going on as my buddy Duke has been gone for awhile. God bless you all. Jim glad to hear that saw mill motor running nicely. ❤
A very interesting video today. I particularly liked to learn about the bees. Looking forward to see the difference having them on the farm makes. It's so important to look after the bees. Without them we'd be in big trouble. Good Luck!
Love your videos. I get to relive my childhood growing up on a farm. We didn't farm with horses but my grandparents did. We missed so much . As I watch your videos I regret growing up without draft horses. Such a wonderful life.
Hello, I wish you success❤❤❤
using horses is not as easy as one would think-knowing each horse capabilities-what horse works better with another horse-my granpa has 2 horses -you having as many horses as you do and their training takes a lot of work over a long time
For
Bee stuff I would say David burns
Thanks new to this, soI will look him up
What a great video! Such a variety of different chores - you two wouldn't have much time to yourselves for relaxation with all the daily work there is. I bet it's heavenly to sit down in your favorite chair and put your feet up at the end of the day. Brenda your greenhouse has really turned out great, and William great job on the finishing work.
I've kept bees some tips you need Russian honeybees, you must insulate the hives in the winter very well or they will freeze the top super in the winter must be a screen box filled with large sawdust flakes this prevents the moisture from raining on them also freezing them, don't feed them in the hive 100ft away using a large chicken water with rocks in yhe water so they wont drowned, fall yellow jackets will intrude the hive and steal larvae and the sugar water if it's fed in the hive, another problem is ants getting in and eating the honey solution use a plastic or stainless stand with a moat that also gives them a water source
Thks. I NEED all the help I can get. 😊
As always. Great video. Thanks so much.
William can do anything 👍🏼
Your greenhouse is going to be a real beauty 😊 looking great 🥬🍓🌱🌸
I host bees. Hosting is a little different than keeping bees as I don’t collect any honey. I hollowed a good size log for them and attracted a wild colony to take up residence in the log. They have lived there for a few years now. I do this to have more early season pollinators for my fruit trees.
