A good farmer like yourself is showing how strong you are, especially with the rain you have 👍🙂
Cindy Crawford comment really cracked me up!!! 😂
Thanks for the kind words Adrian! We are very blessed with our farming system down here, hopefully you see some blue skies soon and also hope to see you down here one day (if only for a visit 😉) 👌
No worries, would love to see that part of the world one day 👌
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...
It is St. Patrick’s Day☘️☘️’it’s grand to meet ya! Have the craic and the banter and most of all have a blessed St. Patrick’s Day☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
A retired Engineer? Wow.
Should add Sonne Farms in South East South Dakota.
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
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.
I am not a farmer I am an undertaker from Newcastle upon Tyne I look forward to watch you channel on a Sunday keep it up Adrian. happy to hear you dad doing better what it’s all about family 👍
Love your humour. The little clearing of the throat when you mention being silly enough to work on a fence you haven't turned off 😂 and the look over your shoulder re Cavan people being mean 😂 classic
Happy St. Patrick's Day. Wales' best contribution to Ireland, if the legend is true and as a Welshman, I like to think it is.
God bless ye, if only ye could have swam, ye'd be great Cavan men! Aargh, just coddin’ God bless on St. Patrick’s Day☘️🇨🇮☘️🇨🇮☘️🇨🇮☘️🇨🇮☘️🇨🇮☘️🇨🇮
The amount of little jokes thrown in this video are brillant 😂😂pitty they will fly over some ppls head
Wishing💕💕 ......you and your fellow farmers all of our sunshine and blue skies from Australia ( apart, of course, from those under fire from the cyclone and flooding here at the moment ) Love the channel
😄 You are a lovely way to start the day Adrian. Thank you for the caring spirit to raise up your fellow farmers. Happy Saint Patrick's Day. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️
Ifarm we farm is the best channel I love watching the videos it’s amazing keep up the good work 👍
The gloomy weather is trumped by this uplifting vlog.
Hi Adrian I've been saying there is something in the air I've spoken to loads of lads who's all feeling down, but now winter is over I hope it lifts everyone's spirits And bit more 👍👍
I really enjoy watching your videos and look forward to seeing them Sunday morning.
Great video. You are a top notch guy Adrian. Your care and compassion for others and your animals shines through. I really hope the weather improves and the fields dry up quickly. It can certainly be hard on one when things are out of our control. Loved the “ friesian” line. 😂👍👍
Watching from sunny Australia and wishing I could send you and your fellow farmers some of our sunshine. ☀️
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.👍💪
seems most trees over there are covered in ivy and the wind takes them down, we go round we a chain saw and cut the ivy at the bottom and makes the trees look much better and never have any blow down
A thoughtful and timely message Adrian, despite the growing workload on the farm evident in the vlog and not being able to get out on the fields you genuinely appear in good spirits and full of the craic… power to you my friend! Enjoy the St Patrick’s celebration. Slainte Mhath 🍻
Thank s Adrian. At an all time low here at present. Weather and sick calves 🐄🐄😥😥😥
good words Adrian, thanks for the vid each week
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day ☘️
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.
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….
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.
Happy St Patrick’s Day☘️
Ps. I’ll have to see the better quality vise grips before I pass judgement 😉 💚
Lovely comments towards the end. Loved the humour in this one - yes, you are definitely a Cindy lookalike ;)
Farming in the winter is so glamorous, isn't it nice to be out 🚜 ☔⚡☘️🐕. Dogs are enjoying it too 😄.
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.
Great video lad 🎉 you’re nearly at 100k followers…with you from the start and absolutely brilliant channel
Happy st Patrick day
Another great video has always Adrian and family 👍
Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ to you and the family 🟩🟩🟩
I had a similar experience watching the Grassmen down in NZ, I just couldn't believe how beautiful that place is. 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.
Happy St. Patrick's day Adrian! 🏴 Where would you all be today without us! 🏴🤔🤨😂😂😂
love how hudson wants to be near you
You need your own TV comedy show, great comic timing, very funny but also serious with good advice. Hopefully you can switch off and not let others issues pull you down. Keep up the good work.
Very wise words of advice at this really difficult time and conditions. Dan
Your a good one Adrian happy st Patrick's day
Enjoy everything that you do around the farm . It upsets me to see the calves separated from their mothers. What is the reason. I find the farm challenging and exciting and can't wait to see what is going to happen next. 😊
Happy St. Patrick's Day from New Jersey, USA 🇺🇸💚 🇮🇪
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
Thanks Adrian for mentioning Andrew. He is the farmer who talked about you a couple of years ago, and brought me to your channel. You have lifted my mind and heart so many times! Please be active in supporting and protecting your, and others', mental health during this very difficult time. Thank you for your ending segment addressing mental health. Evelyn in Minnesota
Great video you have some great views there Adrian 👍👍👍👍
same all over adrain i laughed when u mentioned the sheep old neighbour off when he got sheep we all got sheep if u knw what i mean take care ld
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.
Happy St Patrick's day to you and all in Ireland.
Adrian Happy St Patrick’s Day ☘️ brighter days ahead. 👍🏻🇨🇦💪🏻☘️🍻
Happy St Patrick's Day! Where I live was settled by the Irish back in the 1870's.
Last year was a wet one and we made the best hay l have ever made 330 bales and it kept me smiling all winter
Thank you for your videos - I so enjoy them!!
The weather is Crazy and i always ask the question Where is the rain 🌧 coming from. Good luck with everything 😂😂😂
Adrian, it's always a pleasure watching your videos, and the comedian you are makes me chuckle. But you have had your fair share of rain. Take it easy my friend.
It's been a real wet spell Adrian however we have been here before, it's never easy and that's why we do it because no one else will, good luck to you
You're right everyone has had a hard time lately with the weather, finances etc but it's always good to see someone like you doing there best and trying to stay cheery through it all. Keep up the good work.
Adrian you fair ken how to brighten up a miserable wet south Ayrshire day 😂😂 👍👍
Adrian, I just want to say, I really love watching your videos. I’m not from farming. I grew up around farms in the country. I really enjoy watching everything that goes on. I am dedicated to our farmers, no foreign meat for me. Keep up the great work you do
Best friends and job I ever witnessed
Great video again Adrian 👏 Happy St Patrick's day to you and your family. 🇮🇪
Morning- writing from Nova Scotia, hellish wet here too and it has been for almost a year breaking rainfall records with almost double normal rainfall in an already wet environment. 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
Once upon a time, was a farm manager in South Africa, and now live in Ireland, to much sun and not enough rain there 🤦🏻🫣
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
Good video Adrian very impressed how clean you keep the inside of your tractor 👍
Thanks for sharing everything, hope the weather improves and the rain backs off. Truly appreciate everything you share.
You made me make a right mess Adrian when you said you were a lad 10 years ago!
Tea went everywhere.
Thank you.
Maybe 8 or 9 years 😉
Aww that was a lovely wee tour of your farm/scenery Adrian 👍👋 Nicole. Thank you for explaining to us about the ins and outs of farming, and how weather has an impacted on your income 😔
Lol shaking your hair 😂 My Granda❤ use to say that,
"its ringing wet" Have a lovely Saint Patrick Day Adrian and family ❤
Happy St Patrick's day have a good one 👍
The land scape of Ireland is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing the wonderful view with us.
Dogs were having a great time there with you Adrian 👍🏻
Good pep talk at the end Adrian 👍
Really enjoy you Adrian. Thank you for sharing your farm life with us. Best wishes, Deb
Happy st Patrick day that's a good idea of putting too insulator on timber post im going to use ya weather is shocking its a lovely day today in kerry
Fair play to you Adrian it's tough times there. I'm dairy farming in the south island of New Zealand and currently very dry and I've been watching all the rain ye have been having and wishing I could take a drop of it off ye. Have to keep the chin up. The weather will change, it always does.
As always Adrian, very well said. You are a very positive person despite all the hardships. Congratulations on the new calf’s. You have to be right Adrian “things will get better and the sun will shine” stay safe. Regards to your dad, I hope he is keeping well. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
See some farmers using metal post say good job but people stealing them for metal
Well watching you Adrian this morning was very up lifting! Sure Hudson was running at 70mph along side the quad 🤪 plenty of banter, you were really on form! 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 👍🍻
Did Cindy Crawford show you how to do that in Cavan? You just made my Sunday. Happy St Patricks Day from a just as wet Donegal. KevinD
Great video Adrian although it is tough to watch the ground saturated and knowing how hard it is to keep a level head from not being able to do anything about it and worse not to get slurry out and everything else that goes with it. Hope the weather gets better soon 🤞. Enjoyed watching. Happy St Patrick’s Day. ☘️☘️☘️
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! The blue is peeking through the clouds here in Pennsylvania.
Chilly, however. What are midges ? Please.
Flies? knats? Always enjoy.
"That's it now, the dogs are in to graze it out! Great channel, Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit!
