I wonder if you could harrow the field with the chickweed to rake some of it off to reduce the build-up on the drill? Thank you farmers for all of your hard work and feeding America.
Hi again Eric, it’s great to see you looking healthy! Thank you again for giving everyone a healthy option while we are staying home accept for the careful necessary trips to the store for our dairy products! God bless you and your family!!!
I love watching your videos as you take the time to inform us of what you are using and how you are going to use it as being a non-farmer (in the uk 🇬🇧) it’s always good to know where and how our food/drink comes from. Keep up the great work and can’t wait for the next video
Another great vid. I have noticed that you seem to really love what you do and you're not afraid to jump right in and fix things yourself. Besides being a farmer, you have a good basic mechanical knowledge for how things work. Please stay safe, you and the family.
My goodness that is a lot of work. I'll tell you what your mom and dad is got to be proud of you and whoever ends up with you as a husband is going to be extremely lucky💯
I used to run the same model Esch Drill. The sponge meters and variable speed gear box are excellent, best drill I've ever used. You can plant literally anything with that drill. They're built out of heavy gauge steel. Can't say enough about them, by far my favorite drill I've ever used. I used a couple hydraulic donuts on the lift cylinders to control the depth that it was allowed to dig. It's so heavy that in soft soil it will plug if you only rely on the closing wheels for depth control. Good to keep a couple of them on hand for that. I probably planted a few thousand acres of sudex, alfalfa/grass, milet, rye, ryegrass/crimson clover, etc. Really miss that drill...
Wait a minute! Dad’s down in the ditch getting dirty and you’re holding the camera staying nice and clean? Smart kid! Love your vids Eric! Keep em comin! God bless
Brilliant job. You can see that the conditions are perfect for sowing alfalfa. In Poland, unfortunately, drought is lacking moisture. Greetings from Poland 😊
Found this channel by accident, started watching and thought "that guy talks like he is from SE PA". Then I saw the video of the area and looked like the Lancaster area. Sure enough I was right, I live about an hour away from you and visit that area occasionally. Great to see videos of hard working Pennsylvanians. Keep up the good work and the great videos!
We had the same issues when we drilled out annual pastures for our irrigated dairy. Too many weeds and we had trouble with the drill plugging. Thanks for the video
10 Generation Dairyman - Its funny every time I go to Rite Aid I always go to the dairy case to pick up a pint of chocolate milk and a gallon of vitamin D milk From Clover Farms. I find this milk to be creamier and have a better taste than for say Wawa. I Thank You and your family for all your hard work and dedication bringing the freshest milk 🥛 possible to my table.
I always lower my closing wheel as low as it will go to keep my openers from going so deep. The sod cutting wheel doesn't really matter how deep it goes the deeper the better. It kind of aerates the ground. By lowering the closing wheel it lifts up on the openers. You can also put cylinder stops in so there isn't so much down pressure. Keep on keeping on. Love the videos
We use to use a broadcast spreader over a seeded field of barley or millet and then use a light harrow to cover up the seed , we always had good stands of alfalfa.
Great video Eric good job fixen the water line break I was surprised to see a water line that shallow in PA in ohio we usually have to have then at least 4' deep to keep from freezing in a bad winter
That looks like a handy drill. We couldn´t use something like the John Deere drill here because of width restrictions but that Esch would be just fine.
Remind everyone at the end of your videos to push the 'like' button if they enjoyed the video. I was forgetting to and I'm sure others were too. You have great content on your channel.
Hi 10th gen. I hope you guys are still doing well. My friend hauls milk to the dairy and hauls citrus peels to the farms for feed. The diaries have stopped taking milk and the farmers are putting there cow out to pasture to dry up I also saw it's not jest here in south Florida. So I hope you all the best till this passes. Lord bless you and your family
We made a stopper the hydraulic cylinders for our notill seeder because in fresh tilled soil it dug too deep, and plugged the main discs also. Worked great after
Just binge watched all your videos. Very interesting stuff. Huge difference from your farm and ways of farming to the way we do on our Irish farm😂 would love to try your style for a week 😂 great content 🔥 keep up the good work👍
GReat vlog with very good explanation of the differences in equipment and the reason for the different seeders / drill. Question: Why are some dairy farmers being required to DUMP MILK, when there is minimal (if any) stock of milk in the supermarkets. ??? Does not make sense to me a city dweller.
Ken Lynch most milk processing plants are set up for cheese production not bottling fluid milk and would take months to switch to meet the demand for bottled milk
Hey young man, I enjoy ur vlogs/blogs one constructive suggestion young one. Add more content of what u do show ur repairing or problems while their happening, Your good at explaining after completion of ur projects as a viewer I enjoy watching "how" u solve the problem. thanks and keep up the good work I imagine ur dad is very, very proud of you. Rev. Paul M. Vinng Sr. Eustis Florida.
Always a good "watch". Today you did both - chocolate milk and then Mountain dew... maybe should he been the other way around. Most interesting, the different no-till drill. Your new-to-you-guys John Deere runs nice. carry on !!
Hey we got that no till drill since we almost exclusively do grass and having the closer spacing is super nice. We have an early model and the gearbox isn’t quite right so we can never trust the graph we have to always calibrate every year. Haven’t had much of a problem with the disks ever plugging like that, the ground might be too wet we always plant when it’s slightly crumbly
Nice video . Supposed to be renting a drill just like that one in next couple weeks if it gets dry. Been planting Dairyland seed for years, very good alfalfa
Our soil and water district rents an Esch Drill out, we have had a lot of luck with it. I wish we had that model that turns. Towing a 13ft wide drill down the road is no fun haha
Gotta love the wet feilds. I hope no milk goes down the drain. If so it is good fertilizer. I hope you get sunshine and drying winds for awhile. Peace.
That looks like a really nice setup man does a great job with all our technology I don't understand why they don't have some sort of clean off for you guys man digging that out can be a job all day I just think it would be cool if they come out with something to help you guys out a little easier you're not lazy by a long shot.. I tell you what bro it's about to be really busy season for you guys taking care of all the cows and farming but we sure do appreciate all the cool videos have a good one man👍👍👍👊👊
Soils there can get really wet, here in portugal it’s the opposite soils are too poor and too dry. I’m going to try to seed alfalfa for the first time. Just around 2 acres. Need to correct the ph, spread some manure, then use a pivot to water it. Wish me luck! 😂
That’s issue with less spacing than 7.5 inch is the trash will plug way more often between disks. Air seeder is the best thing since sliced bread because has run blockage meter indicators on newer equipment but 7.5 usually typical spacing. Your program as a dairy is more intense, luck to you.
I would plant 3 different stands of alfalfa. One with your JD drill, one with your neighbors and I disc and then disc it in again with alfalfa. I don’t know if you have a disc or not, but I’ve had pretty good success with that before we got our drill. It just sucks that you have to cover your ground twice.
I like the fact that you use no till farming methods. Great use of the land. Love your videos. How is the virus thing affecting your farm? Keep safe and thanks for the video.
I wonder if you could harrow the field with the chickweed to rake some of it off to reduce the build-up on the drill? Thank you farmers for all of your hard work and feeding America.
Last seconds of the video. Best! Respect man. “Good work dad”
Oooo you are good son, you complimented your father. After he and brother fix the water leak. I pray you are all staying well. Great video!

He's already married and yep, she's got a good man there.
Thanks for all you teach us and for working so hard to bring us food. Blessings!

Thanks for explaining the crop rotation. I didn’t know alfalfa is a legume.
Wait a minute! Dad’s down in the ditch getting dirty and you’re holding the camera staying nice and clean? Smart kid! Love your vids Eric! Keep em comin! God bless
Tami Anderson Of course! Wear out one generation at a time :P
I just came across this channel. Great job... It's great to watch the next generation farmers...
Well did I learn anyting the answer is yes you're a good teacher you explain that we'll and I gained more knowledge thank you very much 👍🇺🇸
HUGE RESPECT for you and for your family! This is very hard life! ALL day WORK, never day off, just sometimes. GOD HUGE RESPECT! From Hungary!
Love seeing the new machine and you. God bless you.
I am happy you take the time from farming to make a video for yes to enjoy ...Thanks
hope your family is doing well! thank you for these videos
This is oddly therapeutic during quarantine. Thanks for everything you do!
Brilliant job. You can see that the conditions are perfect for sowing alfalfa. In Poland, unfortunately, drought is lacking moisture. Greetings from Poland 😊
siemasz Polak, jak zdrowie?
Best dairy channel, you've helped me with some issues I needed to figure out on my farm.
Found this channel by accident, started watching and thought "that guy talks like he is from SE PA". Then I saw the video of the area and looked like the Lancaster area. Sure enough I was right, I live about an hour away from you and visit that area occasionally. Great to see videos of hard working Pennsylvanians. Keep up the good work and the great videos!
Thank you Eric for these videos. Dealing with the say at home is dull.
Man I tell you what I've been watching your videos from the start. I've watched every one and they just KEEP GETTING BETTER.👍🏻🙏
Thanks Eric. 9:24 You gotta Dew what you gotta! Nice job.
We had the same issues when we drilled out annual pastures for our irrigated dairy. Too many weeds and we had trouble with the drill plugging.

Hard working farm. I think of this farm and the girls every morning when I have my cereal!! Thanks
We use to use a broadcast spreader over a seeded field of barley or millet and then use a light harrow to cover up the seed , we always had good stands of alfalfa.
My God...you have to have an encyclopaedic memory and be a jack of all trades to farm! No lack of things to do!
Great video Eric good job fixen the water line break I was surprised to see a water line that shallow in PA in ohio we usually have to have then at least 4' deep to keep from freezing in a bad winter

We've been blessed to have very nice weather. Always enjoy seeing a new crop go in. Have a great afternoon
Your videos are always well done and informative. Keep up the great work!1

Big fan keep up the work! I’m always one of the first 1000 people to watch ure vids!
You may want to put sand around the water lines to give movement during freeze and thaw, helps from having to fix it again.
Nice video . Supposed to be renting a drill just like that one in next couple weeks if it gets dry. Been planting Dairyland seed for years, very good alfalfa

Great stuff...proud of y'all
We use a kubota no till drill when we plant rye and clover and hemp

Love your videos my guy
Hey buddy dont pay not attention to the mean and disrespectful comments you doing a great job I think awesome videos keepem coming
You should lock that hydraulic remote forward so there is always a flow pushing down or to keep good down pressure on that thing
Drake Falkner dherrgfggg
That is a really cool transport feature
Eric ,can you do one video that describe all the equipment and the different tractors and why you have so many tractors ??? Thanks
Love the content
Great video and information thanks keep em comin!!👍
Great content Eric
Good job!

That’s issue with less spacing than 7.5 inch is the trash will plug way more often between disks. Air seeder is the best thing since sliced bread because has run blockage meter indicators on newer equipment but 7.5 usually typical spacing. Your program as a dairy is more intense, luck to you.

very good content greetings from Argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷🚜
I live in Alberta and intend to buy an Esch very soon.
Older generation are familiar with how shovels work 🤗

Whew, I was afraid for a while that we weren't going to see the Dew.
Eric C. Welch I got worried we had an impostor on our hands for a minute there
Nice video from virginia
I heard today that there was an estimated 1000 loads of milk dumped across the country this week. Our co-op did 49
Awesome video keep up the good work
