Jonah's accident was horrendous and it brought about a lot of changes but the shining light throughout it all was to see how Josiah blossomed and the pride he felt that he was making his Papa happy, we could clearly see his confidence grew every single day but when Jonah felt able to get back to what he loves doing - working on the farm - Josiah started to return to the sidelines, thankfully the heavy machinery started to arrive and Josiah once again felt he could make his Papa proud by learning to use the machinery so well, that he literally came into his own. Congratulations Josiah for doing such a fantastic job on the new pasture and I am sure you will find many new projects you can tackle with the big machinery you are able to operate so well x
I so agree 👍💯 . The roads children are awesome great guidance my mom and dad I love watching you guys you make a difference in my life so much keep going and I love the storage when with Rebecca is so cool to see that
I love how Lily lays her little head on that cows side while milking! So precious!!!❤
I think having Henry around is such a maturing force for Mr. Brown. You really are raising kind children.
I am amazed how good Josiah has gotten on the excavator and skid steer. He is so smart and talented.❤❤❤❤
I think for Josiah being such a great help on the farm you should surprise him with paint to paint his swords.
Great idea!
Great suggestion! And maybe some stickers etc too
Look at Gideon being a good big brother! He is doing what he sees all of you doing in loving Henry and each other!
Yes, but who could resist Henry?? 💕
Gideon has grown so much in the past year, and you can already see Henry beginning to 'help', just like his older siblings.
And Gideon was getting his own breakfast snack, too! Such growth!
I love how independent the kids are Lilly brings a smile to my heart because she reminds me of myself as a child at my grandparents house. Henry seems to keep Gideon focused and occupied what a great thing!
Seeing Gideon being such a helpful and loving big brother after watching him grow up from 1 y/o himself on your channel is so heartwarming. Justin and Rebeckah, you have raised 5 wonderful kids. All of them are so hardworking and smart. You have really set the standard for what I want for my family and my children. Please keep it up, we love all 7 of you!
-5 year long subscriber.
Someday, all the children will look back and be so grateful you worked them the way you are. I can see so much clearer now; how my dad and mom were always looking out for our best interest then, and later on in my years also. Little rewards along the way sure does help with motivation. Great children you and Rebecca have there! I know you both are proud.😀
Good to see a fellow Kenyan in the land!
Gideon and Henry. 💗 How cute they are together.
I couldn't even imagine sowing that many seeds, we find it hard enough sowing a few hundred 🙈 you guys are incredible!
Josiah is such a quiet hard working young man
My daughter has been dealing with chronic lymes disease for over 8 years .She's even been involved with the goverment changes related to medical coverage.
Josiah is amazing at his age with that machine!
What an amazing legacy you are creating and leaving for your children and your children’s children.
I’m not just talking about the amazing job everyone is doing on the land…and that’s impressive but you’re Instilling a work ethic in them that will serve them in whatever path they take in life. Well done Justin and Rebecca❤
Even future potential careers in the way the older boys excell on that heavy equipment! It amazes me how quickly and open they are to developing these skills! Love to watch each child bloom and grow!
@@teresamariner4238 It is certainly not as easy as they make it look either. Like rubbing your head while patting your belly while you tap dance, remembering which hand to pull or push or which foot to use at the same time to do a simple movement is crazy and requires total concentration. We rented one before we got the Kubota tractor with the backhoe so my hubs could clear some of our overgrown forest and the back side of our pond dam. He is retired from the NCDOT and was a heavy equipment operator and he laughed so hard at me digging a simple hole! 😂😂🤣🤣
This is so awesome, I love that all your kids knows exactly what to do with little to no guidance everyday. I also like the fact that you have guests come in and help you guys out from time to time , it makes the whole project go much more smoothly
Wow! You can REALLY see the kids coming into their strengths on the farm. Today I saw Josiah really has a strong ability with the big equipment. Very impressive!
Hehehe, baby Henry picking up where Mr. Brown left off with no shoes, precious! Gideon is really coming into his own. Love ❤️ what your doing Rhodes family!
0:38 "Yeah, probably.......not.." As a dad, i felt that.
Great job all of you, now to reap the rewards '
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?? And how is the family doing over??
If I'm remembering correctly from my developmental biology classes, before a certain age (I wanna say it's like 12-13), kids don't understand long term consequences. So trying to get them to help for the sake of their kids and their grandkids will not work (as you saw). Their brains just aren't developed enough to plan that far into the future yet.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?? And how is the family doing over??
That is going to be a great pasture for Lilly's horse!
Also while I’m thinking about it. Look up a Harley power rake. Rental from sunbelt or the like for a day. Attaches to your skid steer and allows you to smooth out the topsoil and level the rough ground from the heavy machinery.
I'm impressed how fast Josiah picked up that machinery. Great job on the dirt work!
Get a landscape rake for your tractor it attaches to the 3 point hitch in the back and has stronge 2 inch wide fingers that are made from spring steel. It works great at cleaning up all those small logs and sticks so you can grade the land easily!
I like the rewards..you offered the kids..... My husband loves his paycheck after two weeks work... that reward is the reason he goes to work..and keeps him going...
. and of course to provide for his family.......
I'm so happy for your relaxation in accomplishment.
Awesome to see all the kiddos working together and happy to help out! Great job mom and dad!
Just a precious family God Bless You all!!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Hello Justin and family. Im always happy following your routines and projects. Send my greetings to nelson fellow kenyan
I love it! Gideon is doing so well he really needed and seems to thrive on heavy work! So important for youngsters to feel needed and to practice autonomy 🎉Congratulations parents you are awesome! Congratulations Lily, Jonah, and Gideon by allowing your little brother to do for himself you are helping him to be responsible and follow in your footsteps 😊❤️👍🏼🥰 🎉🙌❤️
Your Kenyan friend was asking about the phenomenon of grassland being hotter than forest. In future try leaving lines of trees running north south with enough space between the lines that the morning shade from one line only just overlaps with the afternoon shade. It allows all the ground to have shade at one part of the day, it also allows the livestock shade throughout the day.
Welcome Nelson. You have joined an amazing and resourceful family. Enjoy!
So wonderful seeing the family working together ❤️🙏🏻
Very good job love the show , Lucky in Candler NC thank you All
Help a girl out, where is Becky’s cute gingham dress from? Also would love to know about the cozy sweaters she’s been wearing! Looks like high quality natural fibers 🎉
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?? And how is the family doing over??
Jason why not build a small wooded sled to put under the Pigs food station it would make easier moves for said food station easier and make things easier for yourself, this sled would keep station from being knocked over wasting food and the added benefit of having a basic flat area for food and a similar sled could be made for the water barrel (station) moved with sidekick, skid steer, or tractor. Hope this tip from a 66 year old man who grew up on a farm in the 1960's we used a sled to bring water from the creek up a hill to our barn location. Our water barrel was 50 gallons and we used a horse to pull this water sled twice a day to water our animals.
WHAT GREAT PARENTS. GREAT KIDS
You have AMAZING children. That was very hard work!
Justin, I hope when this project wraps up you have a thanksgiving service where you gather the whole family and go up to the new pastures and gives thanks to all the living things that sacrificed their lives for your abundance. Remembering Mother Nature with thanks is never a bad thing.
Putting your cows out to pasture is my equivalent of putting out the porch furniture. It's too soon but boy am I ready. Blessings from Pennsylvania.
Thank you, to Almighty God, maker of heaven and earth - all things visible and invisible who sent His one and only Son for our salvation to the Kingdom of Heaven!
It’s nice to see kids working and understanding the end job. 🙏🇬🇧
Josiah is really good with the machine. Everyone is working so hard. I think they see their own visions. Great job!!
Josiah is doing fantastic with those machines.and the others are working hard too.
Watching you and your land and your family grow makes me think of an old yiddish saying says, every blade of grass has an angel bending low, whispering, grow, grow, grow.
Question from a noob:
If making one's own pasture mix for a dairy cow, what would be the best seeds to include for a happy and healthy cow, amazing soil, and great milk? Anything commonly found in mixes to avoid?
No crab grass no st Augustin grass. I know that just from having lawns. They are both problems, thatch and require ripping out, etc, climb plants. Just awful.!
I think you guys worked a miracle with gods help in getting your ground covered b4 the rain came xx
Rebeckah you look so amazing! I look at you and say 5 amazing kids? No way!!!! You look so young and beautiful. You're an amazing mom and Justin is a great father. My dad was like him, we lived on a large farm a little over 100 acres. Our parents taught us that family was most important. Helping do the chores like y'alls kids. Lol we weren't paid but that didn't matter we were taught to help our family, neighbors and friends. It's so sweet to see Gideon and little Henry together. He's become so mature helping with him. Henry is adorable to hear him talking and already helping. Lily is a beautiful girl and so helpful. Josiah is such a good young man and has really shown how much he has grown up! I'm praying for Jonah, that his hip will loosen and his leg will be as long as the other leg. All the kids are great! I enjoy your videos so much and look forward to new ones!!!!!
It's hard to go a few days between videos, but the quality is awesome :). Loving these multi-day vlogs.
When I eat pistachios, I like to shell a whole bunch of them and then chow down -- the instant gratification isn't there, but the payoff for the wait is amazing :).
Pretty cool when dad can just say, "Son, go pull some stumps and level the land." and off he goes and does it. Good Job, Josiah (and dad)!!
Congrats! You (ALL) did it!! 💪🏻🏆💪🏻
😱 talking & being a good helper..
Imagine that!! ♥️
Hard working family, God Bless you all:) Stay healthy Rhodes Family!
Justin your dad (Boots) would be proud. Keep painting the big picture. The family farm you want to leave your family and your grandchildren. By the way, Just as you would thank your dad, Your kids will do the same. peace and blessings to you all.
😮😮😮 raising pasture is the future ❤❤❤
Looks beautiful Justin! The kids look tired, but let them know that not only are their parents proud of them, but also everyone who watches your videos. When that grass comes in we'll see how proud they are of themselves. God bless!
I am amazed at Josiah and Jonah how they have become very good in operating the excavator and skid steer. |Glad you got the seed and hay down in time. You guys are very busy in the homestead like busy bee's and I love how Mr Brown is helping little Henry and he looks after Henry very well he is so caring and loving. Have a great day.
It's not that things are going slow you have plenty of help it's that you have a large area to cover if you had a smaller area would be easier.
Don't try to do everything at once you get burnt out and overwhelmed.
Thing are looking good.
Any vegetable seeding videos coming up?
That's my favorite thing is gardening
LOL!! Jonah’s I am not happy face…. We understand Jonah!!
Stud Muffin is the most chill bull ever!
Absolutely beautiful guys and gals. You did it!
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?? And how is the family doing over??
Josiah operating the equipment, he's incredible
Hilarious that the $20 amazon reward brought such a motivation!! LOL!! #PARENTHOOD Absolutely beautiful
Josia is the real hero in this series. He is happy running the machines and his hard work and attention to detail is making a real difference
You should build a permanent fence around the area outside the barn keep the animals from escaping it shouldn’t hinder you planting anything there whilst the cows are in the field s
Enjoyed this!
I don't understand why roots in the ground are not a good way to keep the slope intact???!!
Mr. Studmuffin is so precious & cooperative, he follows your program & he does his job without complaining! Now that's a good bull!! Remember one of his ladies is a cranky matron!!
But he is one persistent, patient progenitor!! He is fine hanging with the steers & sheep - quite the gentleman, don't you think?
Lovely children
Super fantastic family work vidéo !!!
Blessings+++!!!
What a crrrrrazy amazing job yous all did in readying that pasture! Great job in hearing the kids hearts for their reward for them to give it all they had in getting the hay spread-getting to their heart level did so much for them all. Thank you for such a great share
Love seeing your kids learn and work!
Bravo you guys! Great job, a little gifting never hurt 🤗😉🤣 Hugs 🤗
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?? And how is the family doing over??
"Creating more carbon," 😆 Glad you corrected it with the chyron in editing... So well done on the small reward and glad you realize they are still kids 👊
I love Lilly's honesty. That's a good thing to nurture.
Great team work! I bet you were all itchy after handling the hay. Maybe those seeds will germinate too!
Enjoyed this video. I realized it was like watching a well oil machine the way the whole family was working together to get the seed spread and covered. It is natural that the children slowed down and lost some of their excitement but you handled it well. Josiha is really coming into his own with the machinary. Love the way you share. Thanks.
thank you for sharing with us i enjoy watching you family and livestock grow.
Man I jus love y'all life heart family god bless you
🙋🏼♀️🕊. Blessings to those beautiful children. 🤴🤴👸🤴🤴 Doing the work they do , for their dad. That’s amazing what they have accomplished..💕🕊💕🕊💕🕊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Many hands, light work.
Good job guys...
Nice that you get the new pasture seeded and covered before the rain! I like that seed broadcaster! That is a lot of hay to move. I'm glad you got a stanchion in the cow area because Flossy has been less cooperative. That is a lot of seed and hay to lay down! I think that was a good decision to let that new pasture rest a bit more before the steers are put on it. Thanks for this Vlog Rhodes family!
What a beautifull bull !!!
Love your animals and setup.
They make what's called a ruckus rake that will go on your track steer. It rakes up everything rocks and sticks and grades a little. Just something to think about.
Yes, and often attachments can be rented or borrowed so it's not as expensive, especially for an attachment you might only need once a year or so.
I’m so amazed how your family just do things without being told or shown by you the older brother let’s them help even the youngest gets stuck in clearing rubbish my only though was cardboard could be recycled in the bottom of grow beds
I have not watched your show in a few years. I enjoyed this one, and stayed untill the end! Keep up the good work.
Good work FAMILY!! Thanks for introducing your new friend. Every episode is worth watching so thank you for everything you do family.
8:37 that fall was queued perfect for the camera shot
Hi Justin. I think you're doing an amazing job with your children. The boy's might enjoy watching Outdoors with the Morgans if they don't already watch them. Mike is very efficient with his skid steer and excavator
Nelson has such a great smile! 😊
Young Josiah the quiet achiever …well done young fella
You all are such a fantastic team. A beautiful blessing.
Also I have a small 30 acre farm up in Saskatchewan Canada and I found moving to the farm most people in the area had all these different implements for there tractors so they would often lent them to me instead of having to buy something you might only need for a week.
I don’t know how neighborly people are in your parts but up here country people tend to really help there neighbours
I love hearing about your health journey. Between you and Jason from Sow the Land, I found out about carnivore. I am carnivore-ish (I eat fruit and some vegetables like squash) and it has made such a difference in my ADHD, pain and inflammation in my body and my energy levels. It's inspiring to see how you find ways to heal your body through lifestyle choices. Thank you for sharing!
Also check out Dr Ken Barry on UA-cam
I agree. I have had autoimmune issues for over 30 years. Dr's say take these pills and all is fine, except it never was. So I did my own research, trial and error. I'm not "cured" but feel so much better eating grass fed and finished meats, pasture raised poultry and eggs, wild caught seafood, and some fruit and veggies, mostly organic. I only eat certified non gmo grain products, eliminated all the packaged, sprayed, chemical based foods and cook from scratch. I found minimally processed organically raised yogurt iyhout sugars, etc, with brings me a delicious treat. Healthy foods the way God intended and elimination of all the artificial chemicals made such a huge positive improvement.
@Tyler W I believe the thinking is changing there. The scientific and medical community is slowly coming around to the idea that meat isn't the enemy anymore and there's quite a lot of new information in regards to meat, cholesterol, inflammation. Shawn Baker, MD has some good info on UA-cam.
even tho i grew up with horses, i still had a huge breyer horse collection for when i was not at the stable!!
So happy for you guys and with how awesome things are going for you!! ❤ Just goes to show hard work and persistence and perseverance pay off!
Excellent job Rhodes Family! These memories will last a lifetime. Enjoy every second you spend and work together as a team. Nothing satisfies the soul like accomplishing goals together. Championship parenting for sure!
You could use the machines to straighten that gate now. Take it off, lay it flat on the road, hold one end down with the track loader bucket, push the bend down with the trackhoe bucket. I think it would work.
Another awesome family video.!! Go Team.
Thank you for sharing your homestead life & methods with all of us.
If you can sheet mulch any of that pasture with free arborists chips... every chip you put down will repay itself 3x (spread super thin). I've never had issues with soil erosion when putting a thin layer of chips down.
Wonderful progress, Rhodes family & friends! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
