Don’t sell yourself short. You’re doing great. Farming is a lot of work. It has been since 93 that I turned a wheel on the farm. That changes later this year! I appreciate your candor, calmness and desire to learn. Your dad does too, even if he doesn’t show it. You have a skill that we men don’t show, patience and fortitude.
Now I get the reason people go on about Farmer's daughters. Sweet, funny and not afraid to work or get dirty. People who think the middle states are flyover country are clearly the ones who are missing out.
For a petite young lady, Erin's contributions are impressive. Don't worry about what you can't do Erin. The things you can do are very important. You are pulling your weight to say the least. You're a hard worker and really good at the business end of the operation. Thank you for a great video. 🙂
@@fasteddy7011 I grew up on a farm and we never sold anything. Trucks and equipment died there. I never understood it. I purposely sell anything that I know I will never use.
I grew up on a Southwest Cattle ranch, was a working cowboy until I went into the service, best thing I ever did was to marry a Missouri farm girl. whose family only raised corn and soy beans. That was 55 years ago, still with her
You have no idea how much those little jobs help. Besides the job, they allow everyone else to focus on something specific, which speeds everything up. FYI on those disc conversion. I did something like that with small solid tires. If you take a hot spray bottle and squirt a little bit of warm soapy water into the spot where they sink it, that will help, PLUS get 3-4 bolts that fit that are twice as long. Use them with the driver to pull the disc together (with the soapy water) in 3-4 spaced out holes. Once they are in the right spot, back them out, and now put in the shorter (correct) bolts. That worked for me and saved a lot of time.
You have been busy doing a little of everything. I think you have one of the cleanest and nicest shops I have ever seen. Keep up the goog videos, i sure enjoy them
If you do the "little " things around the place that frees up your dad and brother to do other stuff don't be so hard on yourself hope you had a nice Easter 😊
I am continually impressed with the Farm, The Equipment, Your Dad, You and the amount of Work performed everyday. Thanks for the explanations, tours and descriptions of the various farm operations. You are doing a great job of putting a new face and presentation for American Farming.
Hi Erin. My wife and two daughters have been enjoying your videos. Thanks for making them. My 8yo daughter told us she wanted to be a farmer and that's what lead us to your channel. None of us were prepared for how much work happens on a farm! Shocking... :) Could you do us a favor though and do a video explaining the reason behind certain moisture levels for both soybeans and corn? I've done some looking online and still don't fully understand why you're trying to meet certain moisture levels. I'm sure someone in the chat will try to explain it but I'd rather hear it from our new favorite farmer. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you for turning the music in the background to a lower volume. With headphones it makes video’s so much more enjoyable. God bless you for helping viewers in that way. Growing up my dad called me “Gopher.” Saying “he” would be sent to “Go-for-this or Go-for-that.” My job was going to get things as well or put something up. All the other stuff comes later, especially when faved with having to figure things out. Sort of the necessity is the mother of invention thing. You are a great asset and very needed or everyones job is harder! You go Girl 👧
Let me tell ya, you did not look like crap.. 😊.. There is nothing more desirable that a gorgeous farm girl in a ball cap and pigtail... Just sayin....😊😊😊 Love the videos, I have always wanted to live on a farm.. Keep up the great work...
gotta sandwich your closing wheels between two boards in a bench vise. 2x6s upright, squeeze the vise, then grab the two boards up top that have opened up and give it a great big bear hug. pop right in every time.
loved the driving.... while holding ann talking to a camera in your right hand reaching across to change gear with your left hand, pressing the clutch pedal with your left leg while steering with your right knee all at the same time. we all have manual cars here in the uk and i know that kind of shit takes alot of skill. MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE ERIN. 14:40
I love the way you people keep track of things it's nice that you say in your videos how important record keeping is I've worked for 4-H kids around here on our place in livestock projects off and on for the last several years since one of the things that we push is record keeping I can remember it from when I was in the FFA also as a kid in high school 40 years ago and it's nice that you let people know this in your videos those of us who farm realize the record keeping bit to the uninitiated that watch you it's nice to see somebody making them realize that we don't ride around on the tractor all day or stand around putting the cows there's a terrific amount of book work that goes with being a farmer and an accountant and record keeper is just one of the many hats that we wear you doing a good job erin and thank you
Erin, for someone self conscious about your vlogs, you're captivating. Keep up the good work. Informative and fun. Wow, you work hard, hard physical work. I"m constantly amazed that multiple farm hands went away, but technology picked up the slack. The new tractors, combines, etc. are amazing.
Erin, love your organizing skills. Looks to me like you have multiple talents and that you are a real value to the farm. Blessings from an old retired guy who grew up around farms....John S.
Just make sure your pup doesnt munch on a poisoned mouse. You are doing a great job, considering your getting the "crap jobs" , (being a gopher"go fer this n that" really does suk at times) hope you dad appreciates it.
Your DEKALB shirt brought me back to the late '70s when I would detassel corn for a couple of weeks during the summer. They would always give us free shirts and caps at the end of the season. Waiting for all of my neighbors to get out into the fields and get the planting done. The acreage will be surrounded by corn this year, and I always look forward to seeing the fields turn green in May. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy watching what goes into making a farm operate.
Erin, what is the cost of one center wheel part that you have to take apart? Maybe we as your fans can all pitch in $$ so that you can just keep the wheels set for each purpose so you don't have to take them apart during each season. You can just take the sprocket wheels off, clean them, and put them on the shelve and mount the round rubber wheels from the shelve.
As long as you do the things you are capable of doing , everything is fine . There is no shame in not being good at something . The nicest news is of course that the market went up and that the farm already sold some new crop . That´s what keeps the ball rolling . Hope you all had a nice Easter too .
No worries, gotta start at the bottom to learn all you would've learned in your preteen years. You didn't know what you know now on your 1st day of school/college. Farming is a life long school, when you stop learning that's one more thing against you like weather, market & etc. It's all good 👍 😎 🇺🇸
Hey Erin!... love your videos 📹 ❤. I am going to continue the theme in the comments and say you do a lot around the farm and you are fairly mechanically inclined. Erin, a secret is that one of THE hardest things to see clearly and without distortion is yourself. Almost universally they see themselves with a fun house effect. There is a difference between not taking yourself seriously and being able to laugh, and verbally punching yourself. Ease up Erin ..... never be ashamed of honest work...and making and editing videos is Many hours of computer and field work.... peace and prayers ✌ ☮
I hope you had a great Easter, Miss Erin! You never look like crap! You could wear a burlap sack and still look pretty in it! I know how you can feel at times (I'm that way myself), thinking what you do isn't important, but it most certainly is because they would sure miss you not doing all of those things for them if you ever stopped doing them! You are a real sweetheart! I appreciate you and I have never even met you!
If your Dad ever lost track of seed batches in the heat of planting he'd be asking why you didn't spend more time in the office. :) No reason to feel embarrassed if the neighbors see you filming yourself. You're working! Explaining agriculture to folks like me in Los Angeles is useful and builds public support for farm interests. From the number of ads running on your video today, you are making "ad friendly" and click-engaging content, and that means that UA-cam will promote your videos even more.
When I saw you showing the Dekalb seed corn bags it reminded me of an old farmer's joke when I was a kid back on the farm "I don't plant Dekalb, I plant de-Corn!" corn not cobs.
I really like how everything is planned out, maintained and kept clean. I think this is the base of success. You are an intregal part of a team. Good job!
I love seeing all the work on farm equipment lately. I grew up around a ranch so love learning about new implements and how to fix and maintain it all. Keep up the videos, the cooking ones are great too!
You may want to get a GoPro hero 7, black edition for those watery wet situations. They're waterproof, & have decent audio as well as video quality too! I use a few of them to capture all the Rc construction fun we have on my channel.
Always nice to see what you've been up to. All of those little jobs you do adds up to a lot of help. Best of luck to you all in the coming season. God bless.
Erin can we swap workshops, ours is here in Ireland it's invariably cold and too many drips, water that is. The bonus is you get our Labrador cross Pippa, workshop trained, and self-cleaning.
Great video as usual Erin. I learn much from every video about the complexity of the most important job and lifestyle of farming. Hope your Easter was blessed, relaxing and rejuvenating. All the best next week or so as you get on the land. Cheers from PEI Canada.
I was going to say I bet your dad has to be very proud of you until you said you were an hour late for work!!! But I'm still sure he is very proud of you. You can do it all girl. Your amazing.
Thank you for continued to post videos and information on social media. I know there's a lot of 8 holes out there. But for some reason everybody gets them. Most of them are jealous and don't have a life. So please ignore them because we all enjoy your contact. God bless you Aaron and have a wonderful Easter with your family
You doing those closing wheels reminds me of changing the tire tube on my bicycle. You are pretty good at multitasking with driving using your leg, shifting the opposite hand, and filming. 🍁👍😎
I don't know about corn & beans. But, in wheat, "old crop" versus "new crop" is a big deal. New crop flour is very prone to making a "bucky" dough that is hard to process. The machines sheet it out and it just shrinks back up. They usually try to mix old with new to reduce the problems, but sometimes you get stuck with all new crop flour & it's a huge pain!!
I know that feeling of "just about understanding something, but not being quite able to explain to any one else". Don't worry Erin, it will come in the end. Keep up the good work and videos and thank you for finding the time! I can offer a little help about Futures. There is a Sea Shanty called Spanish Ladies, you'll find it on line in the encyclopaedia. In that is a list of headlands the sailing ships used in making their way up the Channel towards London. One was Beachy Head. At Beach Head was a Lloyds Signal Station, (before radio, so flags) as ships passed close by the Signallers would ask the name of the ship, where bound and what cargo. That information would be passed up to London and the buying and selling of the cargo could commence while the ship was still a few days from arriving. The start of the Futures Market.
Nice video Erin.. We're doing the same here in Wisconsin, finishing up machinery maintenance.. Hoping to start tillage work this week.. Have a great week..
Beautiful it appears to me you're the glue that holds the operation together. You sell yourself short ain't that right Mr Holbert. I kinda figure he reads all the comments, after what he said on last video. Again love hearing your soothing voice 😌 💕. And Happy Resurrection Day, I hope that your family had a good day. I wait for the next video.
You are every mans dream!!! :)

You guys have the cleanest operation. Well organized.
Yeah her dad keeps everything. But he keeps it in excellent condition. Sometime I wish you do a story on why her dad keeps everything

Wow is all I can say about your work ethic Erin! Your father must be very proud of you!
It's good to hear someone say supper. That's how I grew up with the meal at night being called supper and have through my adult life. 🙂
You have been busy doing a little of everything. I think you have one of the cleanest and nicest shops I have ever seen. Keep up the goog videos, i sure enjoy them
You are one hard working farm girl
Clean operations are always run great
Be safe and healthy and enjoy life to the fullest
Smile more enjoy
If you do the "little " things around the place that frees up your dad and brother to do other stuff don't be so hard on yourself hope you had a nice Easter 😊
Who knew farming had so much paperwork and mechanical grunt work? Gawd, woman, you work like a beast, but look like a Disney princess!

You never look bad, you are a real woman! God bless you
Dad chucked in the wrong size, that's a surprise😂
Great work I enjoy your videos.

I hope you had a Happy Easter with your family Erin I wish I could have spent Easter with you because you are a beautiful Woman
Such a beautiful lady thanks for sharing a day of your life

You need a farm cat or two to keep those mice at bay. Better than poison IMHO. Another great video showing how a farm really works! 😊
