    Kudos to you!!! The 3 big ones I remember are:
    1. You having the NERVE to walk away from your full time job!!!
    2. The fence around your property... Looks absolutely AMAZING!!
    3. Your solar setup!! Mind blowing.
    Good Job Evan!!

    You did get a lot of things accomplished this year. It has been a thrill to watch your channel. I enjoy variety channels I can learn and laugh and even shed an occasional tear from. Though mistakes can be laughed at they are still lessons to learn, for everyone. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you and your family. You and your wife bring so much to the channel.

    @joebarrett9830 2 дні тому

    Amazing amount of work you had done this year. You two work your butts off. I had forgotten how much you had actually done as well and as you said, it wasn't everything, just a splash of things that you had accomplished this year. I have to say, I really enjoy watching your videos and must admit my favorite channel to watch. You are humble and honest with your work ethic. If you make mistakes, you show them and how you repair them. I remember the water line issue. "There's a water line that runs through here, but if I remember correctly, the post should clear the line". "The hole is filling up with water". LOL. I guess you didn't remember correctly that day. I would love to pop over there some day and help you with a project. I live probably about 5 hours away, so I would have to get a hotel instead of commuting back and forth if more than one day of work. Of course, I wouldn't want to be on camera, so there's that issue. Hahaha. I just love how nice you two are, how humble you two are, the work ethic, the love of the animals and the pride you take in your work to do things right. Not a lot of people take the time to do things the correct way these days. I also retired from my work and started doing my own business with driveways and doing projects for others. I kind of fit in where projects are too large for homeowners but too small for the large contractors because they want to make a ton of money on larger projects. It's a good fit for me. Anyway, that was a difficult decision for me to make as well so I know what you went through to take the plunge. Went from having a guaranteed paycheck to hoping things work out and you don't flop working at the farm. I would say you made the right choice. Take care, happy new year and can't wait for the next video. Much love for you guys, stay safe and healthy.

    I am a bit older than you (58). I wish that I still had your drive and energy to be able to do so much. I have gotten to the point to where much past lunchtime I really can't do much more. My age combined with health issues force me to stop that early in the day.
    As usual, I very much thank you and appreciate your videos. I have learned so much and have been able to accomplish things that I never would have thought that I could do.
    I hope that you and your family had a very Merry Christmas and wish you all the best for a very Happy New Year.

    What a year you had! I don't know how well you did on your project board but you had a pretty full and productive year.
    I would like to offer a suggestion for next year's crops. Don't bale or wrap your silage until it is dry and even chopped up so it won't spoil or go to waste like it did this year. They will, eat it dry and it won't create a gas problem with the cattle. This will store longer than the wet feed!
    Happy New Year to you and Rebecca!
