This Farm Wife - Meredith Bernard I feel that way about my daughter!, she has her hs degree, AS degree, Bs degree in public health, went to LPN school , lots of Clinicals, but she couldn’t pass the nursing exam after 3 tries!, now she’s working at a Fast food restaurant
you probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother these days :)
One of the most important jobs on the farm , holding the gate, that's what my father told me when I was little, what I told my kids years later, I guess it must be true, nice slice of your life, thanks
Enjoyed, again,...immensely...! I’ll probably be back later after I hunt down my next This Farm Wife production, shortly,..after I do my business n feed the Poochi’s. ShiTzu, Yorkie, Maltese and Miniature Pincher n some of their siblings..! I kept couple of the Runts, cause they didn’t come out as their mother, ShiTzu. They were more Yorkie or Maltese (father’s) appearance after eight or nine weeks after birth. I gave the pups away, to people I approved of, but everybody was more interested in the fluff ball puppy and not the straight hair..! And they’ve turned out so affectionate, despite their non-ShiTzu fluff ball appearance. I dunno..! Spread that butter, spread that love..! Love it....
The hopper could have a rubber sleeve that feels with compressed air to hold the bag while feeling. When the bag reached a certain weight it would drop from the hopper.
For several years though my teenage years I hand milked a cow for our consumption. If we ran out of feed we bought at the local feed store I would have to get up early, walk down the road to our corn field and hand pick corn to feed cow while I milked. Oh and before I went to school I had to feed chickens pigs and other cows. Those were the days. We even parking our farming tractor on a hill so we could start it when we needed it because the starter was to expensive to buy...LOL. Life on the farm. Keep your head up and always smile.
Hi Tony! Thanks for watching and the kind words. I feel bad complaining about the *really cold* 30s we had today and this week now 😐 Please keep the 10*!
I thought in one of your videos you mentioned you did homeschooling. I'm sure your giving your kids a better education than if they were in public schools! Good to see another video from you also. I was hoping you would keep doing them. You should put links to the other things your doing as it sounds interesting. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks Mark! I just realized I should put more links. The magazine links are in description and everything can be found through my website thisfarmwife.com. I appreciate your encouragement!
Hello - I enjoyed this video. It is my first time hearing you, and seeing a little of your life. What a nice mix of honesty, critters and kids. I have subscribed, and I look forward to your upcoming videos. I also went to your website and read the piece about making your way thru life without your mom. It made me think of being in a wagon train heading west to the new frontier. It is work, but there are others there doing the same and some who have done it before, guiding. Then after a while you realize the ones with experience have gone. Died or turned back. And now you are the leader. Everyone is looking to you to solve the problems, and to encourage others and be the strong one. Your wagon is the front one. You look back and see the others following you. Having faith in you. And maybe when you are frightened and feeling alone, you think it isn't fair, it isn't what you thought you were signing up for. But those kids feel secure with you as their leader. They look like normal well balanced kids. So whether you're feeling shaky or not, those kids feel happy with the world with you in the front wagon.
Thanks for the video. We all have a profession on the farm between gate holder slash keep the hose in the trough. You guys have an excellent bunch of cattle. Have a great evening
Meredith Even though you have all that college degrees, I know you still realize that in a farm there are many jobs, even if it means holding a gate, but you do it so well and you have such a beautiful uplifting attitude, You said in one of your responses that you were officially bawling, that shows mr how emotional you are, I get that way at times. I get all choked up and I get very misty eyed, so that's why I continue to look forward to your videos, I never attended college, I am more mechanically smart meaning I am a quick learner of all machinery and big trucks Keep up your great work and God Bless your entire family.
You are so amazing I can relate to all that you are going through we do basically the same jobs where I work and it keeps me busy keeping all the equipment running to get the cows fed every day 7 days a week
Yunno, You ( and your family) are one of the most sincerely beautiful people on the web I know. We home-schooled for the last 10 years our selves for all the same reasons I'm sure you did also (in San Antonio).
OMG I say this all the time. I could be in a remote tribal village in Africa and have service...but not 3 miles from a grocery store in Danville, Virginia, USA.
Must be nice, running cattle where you usually don't have to deal with a lot of mud.....LOL! Northwest Oregon, where rock and concrete are your friends!!! We spring calve, (early spring!! January to March if all goes well). From mid October/November until the end of March, maybe the end of April, we are off pasture. Lots of rock, some concrete and a lot of roof.... Three big barns and lots of rocked dry lots. I love seeing how outfits are set up around the country. Thank you for a good video!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting! We would love to have that much rock and barns to feet under. Do the best we can with what we’ve got. Wet winters can be hard, though.
@@ThisFarmWife_ yes, wet weather and feeding cattle... Always fun . LOL! I prefer dry and cold, like so many places between us... Cattle do better! We have some friends who moved from here, to the high desert country in Eastern Oregon. They took all their cattle with them, used the same bulls on the same calves, fed the same feed.... Their weaning weights went up!! 100 to 150 pounds higher at 205 days of age!!! Makes it a bit more profitable. I'd love to find a different place, but between raising crops in some of the best ground in the country... And really not know where to go...oh .and having the money to do it too...😎
Nice to see another family farm. Suzanne (aka WTFarmGirl ) and I have a small farm in Michigan we are just starting out. I grew up on a farm like yours as a kid. I wish I could work on our farm full time but I have to work else where to support the cost of the farm so Suzanne does a lot of the farming here. Would love a video tour of your operation and equipment.
Hi! I’ve enjoyed meeting and talking with Suzanne on here. She’s been so encouraging! I appreciate the I input on what you’d like to see. That will give me something to do this winter. 😃 We are small compared to many and run nothing new except my hay rake, but is it works it works. It’s great y’all can work and farm together. ☺️
@@ThisFarmWife_ Ya I seen your rake I love it what brand is it? It almost looks like the one north texas hay uses. He can pull his baler behind his rake.
@@ruralridez6165 Oh no I don't think we can do that. It's a Vermeer hydraulic folding rake. I was using the same model (non-hydraulic), but 25 years old and hubs eventually felt sorry for me and got me this one. It was my Christmas and birthday for the next several years lol
at least you don't have to deal with hogs , i raised two a few yrs ago and they are a mess and hard to keep in , my daughter was home schooled , i like shelled corn for deer but i planted a food plot this yr
fNo hogs. I'd like to have the meat, but not deal with raising them. My husband helped trap and kill a bunch of wild hogs here years ago, before I was around. That's different, but he said the meat was still good lol
@@ThisFarmWife_ I use to work in a cheese factory. You would put these bags over a rubber sock then push a button. The sock would feel with compressed air holding the bag there tell it reached 50 lbs. At this point the bag would drop unto a conveyor where you would run it through a sealer. We could do a skid of 50 bags in 20 minutes.
Thank you for putting your twitter handle with your name! I never know between snap chat, twitter and other platforms if I'm talking to the same person. :) And don't take my lingo very seriously, I make half of it up. ;)
I am glad I found your channel because I enjoy seeing what others in NC are up to on their farms. super wet over here east of Raleigh too. how much does a bag of your deer corn cost? do you grind any of your corn and feed it to your cows? thanks for making videos and please keep on making them. - Soybean Farmer -
Hi! Yes, I think the entire state is one big mud hole. :O We sell the ear corn for $6/bag (sold 200 bags to a farm store in Richlands last week!) and we sell some ground for $7. We are grinding it for calf feed now, too and will do that with all that we don't sell. Thanks for watching and your encouragement to keep it up!
Haha, my farmer saw the title and was like, "that's us"...I'd take that 55 weather compared to this 21 degree crap we've been having...baling today with no cab was realllll fun...not!
Ha! Love it. And I'd take the 55 back...it was low 40's today and felt like snow. I'll die when it gets to 20's. :P It's especially hard first part of winter for me until I get used to it. We feed silage with the open tractor and hay with the cab, but the gate holder doesn't really get any breaks either way, right? :P Thanks for being here!
love your videos you are a mom a wife a farmers wife i am retired love to work a few days a week i miss the farm life what dont you on the farm what is your worst job on the farm let me know
Hi Gene! Nice to meet you here and thanks for watching! Let me think, my worst job on the farm of late is bagging corn I guess. But that’s not so bad a few at a time. There’s nothing I don’t like doing, there are just times of year it’s harder, mainly winter because of weather (cold and mud.) My favorite thing is raking hay. What kind of farming did you do?
I majored in Animal Science and have a Master's in Ag. Education. Wasn't sure what I was going to do, considered teaching Ag Ed, but ended up going into livestock feed sales. :)
You have good mud lol. When mine is muddy you sink down to the axles. No way to drive on it. I like your dirty truck. Thats what trucks should look like. ;)
I have a good 323 New Idea corn picker, shed kept, in good shape for sale If you would be interested. Also have two gravity bed wagons and lots of other farm equipment that I may sale. I'm getting ready to retire, hate to but old age is catching up with me. Cows aren't selling very good, how did yours do?
Thanks for letting me know, I'll keep that in mind. We just bought an old picker last year and aren't doing much with it. We have a gravity wagon, too, just need to make it work for this. We sell calves in the spring, but they were down this year from last...down from the year before. :(
My calves didn't sell very good this year either. And I've been out a lot of money on repairs, hay baler cost $2700.00 one breakdown. That's farming. And we've had so much rain I don't have enough hay to winter my cattle, going to have to sale off a few, and they're down. We can cry on each others shoulder.
Ugh. I'm so sorry. It's so hard and these last couple/few years haven't helped at all. I'm good at listening even if I can't fix it. And crying. I'm good at crying. 🙃
Don't cry, I know it heartbreaking to work and do what you love and depend on. I'm broken hearted myself that I haven't been making any money for the past three years. I feel like a failure. I'm at the age where I'm thinking about selling everything, farm; cattle; and equipment. And it's not a good time to be selling out. All other farmers are in the same boat, who's going to have or want to buy me out? I'm glad to have a nice person to share thoughts with.
a 16 year old lost his life not too far from me by slipping off the step and the back wheel went over him ......his family never got over it ...... be safe
I’m so skeptical. Do you have a link? I’d love to think it would work! Just got a cell booster for internet at house and it works better than satellite internet but still not great.
Really?! That is funny. And awesome. Since quitting my corporate job and coming home I’ve found passions for things I didn’t know I had in me and just enough courage to try. It’s a good thing. Best wishes with your writing!
This Farm Wife - Meredith Bernard 🤦🏻♂️ I was thinking 4 yrs was HS then two more years was community college 😂😂😂😂😂 .... no I really didn't think that. I was pulling your leg

@@michaelowen1750 well I literally live on the state line, so I'm sort of a hybrid now. But I'll always be proud of my NC roots...and keep them there. ;)
Free Tip for bagging corn - Put your bag inside a metal or plastic trash can & fold bag over top edge & then a flat shovel to fill bags.
Yeah we should try something like that. Thanks!
The opening Made me Laugh. That's funny! The semi-sarcasm is spectacular! Well done!

i think you should get on twitch. i think you would do great being on twitch.com ..
a 16 year old lost his life not too far from me by slipping off the step and the back wheel went over him ......his family never got over it ...... be safe
Ugh that’s so sad. I thought about that today. I will not do it anymore.
Where are you located at
We are on the central NC/VA line in Milton, NC
I am new to your vlog, and I like it so far, but doesn't you're husband have a name and is he camera shy?
He has a name but it’s not his thing or his channel lol. I’ll try to show him more. Thanks for watching!
Get you a phone booster for your vehicle. I have 2 they work great. Itll double your phone service.
I’m so skeptical. Do you have a link? I’d love to think it would work! Just got a cell booster for internet at house and it works better than satellite internet but still not great.
@@ThisFarmWife_ I have the WEBOOST
I'm very satisfied with it.
@@ThisFarmWife_ there around $200
Tim Hottinger thanks! I’ll check it out. If it will work it’s totally worth it
@@ThisFarmWife_
I got mine from Amazon.
If you dont like it you can send it back . Good luck . Like your vids
Say hi nice daughter son cute wife so cheers 🐂🐂🐂🍻👊🤙
Lol, you need the degree to remind the husband of what you COULD be doing!
Ha! Yes! 😅
@@ThisFarmWife_ and funny enough we are opposites, I started youtube to become a writer, and you are a writer and then started youtube, haha!
Really?! That is funny. And awesome. Since quitting my corporate job and coming home I’ve found passions for things I didn’t know I had in me and just enough courage to try. It’s a good thing. Best wishes with your writing!
@@ThisFarmWife_ farming is good for the soul, that's for sure :D
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I think you can say your over qualified for gate holding!
I thought it said mad cow 🤦🏻♂️
Oh no! 😝
This Farm Wife - Meredith Bernard I wasn't wearing my second set of eyes 🤷🏻♂️
Wait. So you graduated high school and went to community college 🤷🏻♂️ ...
Lol no. College and grad school...to the farm. 🙃
This Farm Wife - Meredith Bernard 🤦🏻♂️ I was thinking 4 yrs was HS then two more years was community college 😂😂😂😂😂 .... no I really didn't think that. I was pulling your leg
@@dixiemae5042 LOL I knew you were, but then I couldn't even remember what I had said in video 😅
This Farm Wife - Meredith Bernard yeah well in some parts it'd be true 😳
@@dixiemae5042 I never claim to be smart, just making my way :P
If you had gotten an engineering degree, you wouldn't have needed the masters! Congrats on being a "pro- fessional"! now where is that facetious font....
Haha...touché.
@@ThisFarmWife_ We Virginians keep the southern approach roads small on purpose... Though my folks sold their farm just west of Richmond and retired to Wilmington...
@@michaelowen1750 well I literally live on the state line, so I'm sort of a hybrid now. But I'll always be proud of my NC roots...and keep them there. ;)
We claim folks that know how to take care of an old iron skillet...
if you slip off that step on the tractor your career as gate holder will have ended .......unless st peter need one
Hahaha...I actually said today I hoped it didn’t break. And then got up on fender 😛
