Howdy! I am a new subscriber here on your channel....I was just wondering if you could tell me a little bit about yourself and your farm. Much obliged.....
Thanks for subscribing! I own 100 acres of our family farm that has been in our family since 1866. I am a eighth generation farmer. I have grown up working around this farm since I was a kid. Worked with my grandfather for many years growing up. In fact, he even gave me some calves, to raise and grow my own little herd throughout the years. My grandfather passed away in 1997. At which time, my dad and I both ran this form together. When he passed away in 2020, it was his wishes to leave me the farm and, everything with it. He knew, I had worked hard on this farm all my life, and felt I deserved it. Plus, he knew that I would be one of the family members that would carry on the family tradition as long as I could. In many cases, once forms are inherited, they are quickly sold off to cash out. Not for me. I am caring on my dad‘s wishes. And for the most part,my siblings know this is true. 3:08 3:16 4:13
@@jasonbarber5643 Thanks so much for sharing that with me. I grew up on a small family farm(much smaller than yours) we had some pigs, couple of cows, chickens and a very large garden. We also had a small herd of goats(which were fun to be around) and one time we even had 8 baby raccoons that dad found in the attic of our neighbors down the road. I shall always remember those golden memories....
That’s cool. Not to be nosy, but are you disabled or anything like that. Maybe the reason you found my videos interesting? With myself, being legally, blind, many people, even those who know me here very well, are fascinated that I can still do the things I do, while at the same time being visually impaired. What part of the country are you located in?
@@jasonbarber5643 Not to worry....you are not being nosy. I worked on farms when I was just a boy growing up, learned many things while on the farm(which in my opinion a lot of kids today are not getting) like working hard, getting dirty, working with your hands and mind, learning how to drive a truck/tractor. I am legally blind in one eye(right) which the Army did not like when I was drafted in Nov.66, in the Army for 2 months and then they said nope.....they told me I could not drive, fire a weapon, fly an airplane etc....My twin brother eventually went to Vietnam for 13 months and he just passed last Dec. from complications from agent orange. I reside in Rochester NY worked on farms in the Churchville area which is just west of Rochester. Just for sake of argument I have been driving for the last 53 years with nary an accident or ticket and I shoot rifles/shotgun/pistols left handed which I gotta say I am damn good at too. If you need to know more just ask.....
@@jasonbarber5643 Nope....not disabled. Just a old guy that loves to see that hard work and a little ingenuity still pays off. i live in upstate NY, Rochester to be more precise, not in the city itself but in the burbs.
Another fantastic video Duck 😎👍👍👍
Another amazing video! I’m proud of you and all of your accomplishments! Take care and have a great day!
Well! Thanks for the compliment. I just do what I do. But at the same time, enjoy sharing my experiences with others. Where are you located?

You're an inspiration Duck
