  • We finally got a nice couple of days this weekend to start cleaning up the Farm. We added a 20ft addition to the driveway, cleaned out the ditch, got rock layed, and finished the rest of the fenceline. I may or may not have a planter on it's way for next video, because I need to get my butt in gear as planting dates are rolling around. Hope you guys enjoy!

    Awesome to see you starting from scratch on building your farm! Could of had the county highway department come out to put in that driveway culvert and do all the ditching. At least the county highway department I work for in Wisconsin does, I do it all summer long lol. just a heads up for the future. Saves you some time and work. Keep it up!

  • @CuriousEarthMan
    @CuriousEarthMan 3 роки тому

    that was awesome, thank you! I like how you think: you can always rent out extra space. you can get a good return, while depreciating the building. It looks so rural, I'm always surprised to hear you have municipal water there, not only private wells. Three machines with two operators is a little ambitious, possibly, but def. no harm done and experience was gained lol I appreciate you guys! Looking forward to the test results and hearing the ag grad's interpretation for us!!!!

    Grant I really enjoy watching your content its pretty inspiring to watch someone build a farm from the ground up... one suggestion having been in agriculture and construction my whole life, being that you will build plenty more driveways and road entrances in the future you should not use topsoil and grass as a backfill if you are going to drive over that spot especially over a culvert as in the video at 7:15 ...the soil will compact and the grass will decay and compact more creating soft spots and sink holes. Always use fill dirt or stone as a base.. hope it helps in the future great job so far!

    • @granthilbert5632
      @granthilbert5632  3 роки тому

      Yes, I agree. I don't really think this was fully topsoil tho. A lot of it was a real dark clay soil, that had been hauled in from somewhere else and placed on farm years ago. The reason it has had grass, was because it sat there so long. But yes I am a tad worried about some of the grass decaying. We'll see how it hold up. Thanks for the advice TH! :)

    A small piece of advice when putting a joiner on culverts, turn your joiner 90 degrees from where you have it, that way if you have to dig it out with an excavator you can clear the top of the culvert without damage where it bolts together. Now remember, free advice is worth exactly what you have paid for it!

    grant i love the videos. but one thing that i would have done was put fabric on top of the dirt then put the gravel on the fabric. my fam jus built a house two years ago and we had to put a driveway in but we put fabric down so the water didnt soak through the gravel and right into the dirt it. the fabric acts like a wall for the water. also it helps bc after time the dirt turns into mud and then your driveway would start to sink down. but other then that i am looking forward on how your farm is going to come out.
