    Greetings from Florida! Being a retired engineer, I have time to follow numerous channels and really enjoy the farming channels. Your content is excellent! I also enjoy the following dairy channels: Gierok Farms (Wisconsin), 10th Generation Dairyman (Pennsylvania), Trinity Dairy (Wisconsin), Kip Siegler Farming (Michigan) and SaskDutch Kid (Canada). It is always interesting to learn about where our food is produced. Like everywhere in the world, farmers are also struggling here in the U.S., especially with rising costs and low crop prices. Take care and God bless...

      gatorguy, if you like them as much as I do, I have another one for you. He is a organic farmer in Germany and his channel is in German, of course. His father built one of the first free stall barns in the 70th, he has a milk robot, some acres of woods and a very kind personality. And trust me, it is worth watching him even if you do not understand German: www.youtube.com/@stollvondeining9485

    I only recently started watching your channel so I’m several months behind. I particularly enjoyed the advice you gave at the end of this episode reminding your viewers that things will get better and that they’re not suffering alone. It made me think about how much sunlight or lack of sunlight affects the human spirit. The lighting industry and specifically the LED industry has many affordable light bulbs that mimic daylight. Just putting these in rooms you work I. Like your workshop or the cab of your tractor can dramatically improve your mood. Rainy days for long stretches can do a lot of harm to our moods. These lights can help.

    Be so happy that you are not a farmer in South Africa. They face many of the same challenges, maybe lack of water, rather than excess water, may be very hot days rather than grey days, but bigger than all that, is personal safety. Not knowing if they will be murdered in their beds overnight. As farmers, you are all very special people.

    You are a breath of fresh air, I'm an I.T. Engineer in Scotland, and yes we all want to see a blue sky, your videos have made me appreciate what the farmers go through to put food and milk on our tables, here's praying for a long hot summer with a bit of rain at night to help our farming friends.

    Unbelievable how wet the fields are at the moment. As for the ivy, it’s a curse. We cut a middle section out to kill it otherwise it will kill the tree, or bring it down in high winds. Super vlog as always btw.👍💪

    I'm not a farmer but I love farming and those who farm and stay with it despite huge adversity. You're all champions - and the land you steward for us all looks amazing and our thanks are due to you in spade loads for feeding us and for feeding the nation. Thanks Adrian for the reminder of weather-induced anxiety on top of everything else you and your colleagues have to endure.

    This is a mighty channel, good humour dilutes the seriousness of what going on with the weather as you showed and explained very well Adrain. You never lost your realism which unfortunately happens to most other channels as they grow and promotions and “ look what we bought “ takes over. Real down to earth content 👏🏻.
    I just watched some of the videos on Andrew’s channel last night and must say I totally get what you mean. Hope the weather improves soon and thanks for keeping things real

    Sure there’s always good & bad in life and this video is a perfect example of your channel. You give us a real view into life on your farm. There’s always work to do. There’s always struggles whether it be weather or something else but there’s new life as well. And if you’re Irish there’s humor too.

But I see the same thing on your channel too, when the sun's out :) You're in an amazing countryside. So it's not surprising that Ireland and New Zealand are two of the places I've always wanted to see. Always enjoy what you're up to.

    Cheers! Happy Paddy’s Day! It’s been very wet here in Maine too. Had been warm but we’re going thru a cold snap again. Grass isn’t greening yet and everything is sodden. Wish I had spread lime when the ground was frozen and I could get on it, but 8” of rain in the last 45 days says that would have been a bad investment….

    Hi Adrian and family, I've been watching Andrew for a few years now, and you are dead right, it would do you good to watch him and his Dad farm in such good conditions. Although sometimes he gets extremes too, like drought or too much rain. But it's so much different than our way of farming. No housing for the cows or for the cows calving, just for the calves for a few weeks. It is a lovely way of farming. I also can't get over how they never look at cows at calving at night.

Seems to rain almost everyday. Yet in other parts of the country they are in the middle of a multi-year drought with no end in sight. Wish we could send some rain their way. kevin

    You're so right about the wet weather, it's no different over here in the UK, to put it mildly it's been bloody awful. Happy St Patrick's day to you and everyone in Ireland, hope you and yours can have a wee celebration, even if it is between calving and doing all the other stuff you have to do on the farm. My late Queen during COVID said, things will get better and we'll be able to do all those things we can't do now, I believe that sentiment is right for this time as well. Take care Adrian and let's all hope the fair weather comes soon, it needs to as my garden looks like a peat bog. 👍

    Adrian with the exception of the willow/sally, all the trees down were covered in Ivy. The roots of the trees are there to uphold the tree. Ivy on the tree acts like a sail and is too much for the roots to take.
    If you could find the time ( I know it is another thing you would have to find the time for) to go to the trees (starting with the tallest ) with a spade and a loppers and clear about a meter of ivy off the tree all the way round, That will kill the ivy up the tree.
    The idea of the spade is to lift the ivy away from the trunk to get the loppers in to cut it

Well done you, it’s always nice to make people smile, great to see two new borns doing well, thought you said you herd a flock of sheep in next field!!!😂 it never seems to take much to upset a electric fence.Thought Bailey was very clean for the state of wet fields , think a lot of farmers will be going back over their crops because of lying under water for so long, anyway keep up the great work you do 👍🍻
