It's nice to see rebar installed properly on concrete dobbys and not thrown on the bottom on the base rock where it does little good. Your concrete contractor appears to being a doing a good job. I hope they are spraying the slab with curing compound after finishing is complete so the mix water doesn't evaporate. That's another important step I see that's missed in a lot of UA-cam videos.
As an European contractor, i´m just astonished of the total abscence of concrete vibrators in the US. Spread it vibrate it screed it, flipper time and an broom stipe if needed and when aplay curing spray or an foil layer
A very busy video to be sure Eric! First off my man, I wanted you to know just how much Your Fans really appreciate the concern and compassion you have for your fellow farming neighbors when they get by passed on those Hit-N-Miss showers! I know you all go through this too but it is wonderful to see the hopeful need you have for others. Not a surprise either as your Fans were drawn to this channel by your Families sincerity and hard work! Those side jokes really help too!🤣 Jack-hammering that cement off that metal pole was Clean! Awesome to see the progress in real time and Thanks for always including your Fan Base Eric! Sending Rain Vibes rot you and your neighbors! MOO From Next Door In COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
It's looking good, Eric. I agree with concrete around the silos. It will keep your area cleaner, allow the rain easier path to your storm water system, and make cleanup easier around the silos after filling. 👍
It is so exciting for all that you have been able to do to the farm and your home the last couple of years!! So looking forward to seeing the feeding robots work.
Rain, the important and unpredictable commodity for our farming community. Like your compassion for your neighbor farmers, something lacking in our world today. We got 0.09" last evening - thunderstorm, our first for the summer.
I always notice his kindness 💖 to the girls 🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮. As a collective of feminine energy… I can tell you that they Love 💕 and appreciate the Kindness that Eric and his Dad show towards them and Everyone else. They are Good 👍🏻 people 💛 who continue to remain blessed 😇 because they Respect ✊🏻 all women. We 💞💖💝 appreciate that, as much as the men do. Thank you 🙏🏻 for being Such Good 👍🏻 folks Eric ! 💜
In 1983, we heard about computerized feeding. My Dad kinda scoffed at it. He passed away in 1996, but had accepted automatic take-offs. He started milking by hand in 1934 (8 years old) and passed away a few hours after his last milking of hitting a button, attaching the claw to each cow in the double 6, and standing back to wait for the detach. He probably would have looked hard at your system, and likely approved! Great video, can't wait for it to be up and going!
I’m excited to see that too! I have never seen them before and I’m wondering what they will look like and how they will work! This is a lot of investment in upgrades so hopefully 🙏🏻 it’s more than what they were hoping for ! fingers crossed 🤞🏻! 💜
@@TheBloodypete That’s a curiosity too… how big are they? How much feed do they carry and how long does it take to feed all of the cows 🐮🐮🐮? I’m so curious for future video updates from Eric and his Dad! I haven’t seen any on any other farm channels yet, this is going to be my first robot 🤖🌽🌾 feed viewing experience. 🐮🚜 👀 🍿
I think its going to be really cool when its all finished and running! Glad you got some rain! I'm not a corn expert... but if my veg garden's leaves look like that... its time for water.
Thanks for filming this Eric. I'm excited to see your robotic feed system. You have covered all the bases so far and I expect good results for you. Cheers all. 🇨🇦
When you lay some crushed stone on the dirty way, make sure to put a layer of landscape fabric first. Because if you lay the crushed stone directly on the dirt, it'll sink and makes a huge mess. Afterwards you have to put another load of crushed stone on it, because the first on is completely disappeared in the mud after one heavy rain! Just saying...
Of course it rained as I commented about being somewhat drought. One request in the next video. Can we get a drone shot to see it from above? Thanks again for sharing your life with us!!
I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your videos in my free time. I also wanted to say that you won't be disappointed with the feed robot you're getting. I work on a dairy farm here in virginia that has one, and it works so nicely. One of his silos was also built by the same people that built yours.
Nice job on the concrete to this point, thanks for the thorough explanation! I can appreciate what you're saying about the rain, we went through a drought last year, not fun and we just had a hay crop that suffered. I am happy to see you all get some rain! Thanks
It looks like things are really starting to come together, I am so glad for you guys to get the much needed rain. Being raised on a farm myself, the three most important things to a famer is, GOD, the rain and family! GOD bless you and your families and may you continue to get the life giving rain.
BTW. Love seeing the Amish guys working on the crew. My late father-in-law had them work on his barn outside of Punxsutawney. Very careful and skilled craftsman.
The concrete lane for the feeder robot is longer than I expected. Also, it’s nice. You got some rain. Hopefully it cools down a little bit. Also Hope you get more rain than that can reach to the sky. 🙂🌱🌱🌿
😊there's nothing more satisfying than playing with concrete... you can immediately see the improvement. That summer rain and standing out in it is good for the soul and bring a smile to the face...when you are a farmer any rain durning summer is a most excellent rain and gratefully appreciated 🤗
Lot’s of heat hard work on the farm makes a cool summer rain shower feel like “almost heaven” And when you need it so bad for the crops, you feel like “dancing in the rain” and shouting “thank you Lord!😊 I think you did both, right😂
You guys will be busy in the Wintertime with keeping the Robot lanes clean from snow and ice. Question,.....will the Robots be programmed to fetch you a Mountain Dew or Chocolate Milk when needed?!?! (Ha!Ha!)
Too bad about the lack of rain. Here in Wisconsin we seem to get an inch.. or 2.. or 4 every other day. Good to see the rain coming for you. Hope the weather normalizes! Your projects coming along well. Can see lots of planning going on.
i hope you get rain, in Iowa our corn tasseled last month and its 10ft tall, worried our recent derecho was going to lay it down but it was like a wall of concrete!!!
looking great shame work stopped for the rain but i think the crops need it more looking very nice all coming along nicely robots soon can not wait to see them
Man we love how much you guys have done to upgrade the farm, think we subscribed to your channel when you had about 200k subscribers and we can't wait until you hit 500k. If you can plz do another Q & A with you dad we dont really get to see or hear much from. God bless you all wish your family nothing but the best.
I recently got a fairly big shed slab poured here in country Victoria Australia at my 20 acre property. I never tire from watching concreters at work, especially a guy that can squat down and level like that. Must burn the quads ! That formwork was impressive.
down in southern virginia where i am the corn crops are in really bad shape. we have finally got a few thunderstorms to drop rain but im affraid its too late for these crops to produce even a decent yield
A project for the future! All you farm owners come together in the area and find away of collecting all the storm water to use for farming so when a farm doesn’t get hit by a storm the neighbours have some collected that can be used, big project I know but will help to future proof lots of land for farming
What a great video and coverage on the whole operation. Your commentary just keeps getting better every video you make. It shows as well by how many subscribers you have 445K and and as of now 14,528 views in just over 2 hours.
I'm at 2:35 in the video. Thinking long term drought>>with so many cows on the farm, is there an available purchase of sileage within a 100 mile radius?
I thought of a suggestion for your silage bunkers . Anything direct to human consumption is a high value commodity . Maybe Mushrooms or bedding plants. I don't know what the cost , profit , amount of effort would be , just a thought .
I was a concrete finisher for years, and the one sure way to get a rain storm is to start a cement job...Happens every time..lol
I agree 100%, I was in the landscaping business for 25+ years and dig a hole or trench a sprinkler line and it would rain.
Yep!
Amen brother, Amen
It's not cement it's concrete cement is. Just one of tha materials used to make concrete that's like calling. Oil gas
@@tylerwaldrup26 Thank you Captain Semantics. Pretty sure everyone knew what they were referring to.

I was a concrete truck driver for 23 years and this was a great job showing how it is done.
As an European contractor, i´m just astonished of the total abscence of concrete vibrators in the US. Spread it vibrate it screed it, flipper time and an broom stipe if needed and when aplay curing spray or an foil layer
@@SirDigger420I believe the US contractor’s could use some of those vibrators. It does make a quick job of it.
Big financial commitment all your viewers are pulling for you!

You are going to be busy in the winter keeping all the lanes clear . Hope it all keeps coming together for you.
Take care and stay cool !!!
Looking forward to the robots. I totally get your excitement over the rain. Been very dry in Ohio as well.

Thank you for taking the time to film your project. I enjoyed seeing how the feeder will run.
Soo good to see the farm getting some decent rain!!!
All I can think of with all those sidewalks is as Evelyn & Jack get older they will have sooo much fun on their bikes!!!! ❤
Exciting work being done. I'm excited to see it in operation.
I assumed the lanes would be wider! Can't wait to see the robots, as a techie always love new toys!
I’m excited to see that too! I have never seen them before and I’m wondering what they will look like and how they will work! This is a lot of investment in upgrades so hopefully 🙏🏻 it’s more than what they were hoping for ! fingers crossed 🤞🏻! 💜
@@Ghost-Mama I've seen a couple on other channels, but they always looked like they needed bigger paths, so I'm now curious what these are like!

I’m so curious for future video updates from Eric and his Dad! I haven’t seen any on any other farm channels yet, this is going to be my first robot 🤖🌽🌾 feed viewing experience. 🐮🚜 👀 🍿
I believe they are getting a Lely Vector feeding system.
@@geraldraber4375 it sounds like you might know something about tractors 🚜… 😉 why hello 👋 there!
I think its going to be really cool when its all finished and running! Glad you got some rain! I'm not a corn expert... but if my veg garden's leaves look like that... its time for water.
always enjoy watching your videos!!
Thanks for filming this Eric. I'm excited to see your robotic feed system. You have covered all the bases so far and I expect good results for you.

New technology , new knowledge and ideas about how other country farmers work love from

Love watching this whole new feeding system installed
🇺🇸🇨🇱
Will the robots plow their own path in winter?
Can't hardly wait to see the robot in action 😊
Any Victory outdoor services fans here..? Concrete is ordered 😅
Me
I watch them.
seems to flower better here with less people
Yep
Eeeezzzzzy money
I really appreciate the pacing of your stories. Some may be one day and other multiple days. You are doing a great job putting the videos together.
BTW. Love seeing the Amish guys working on the crew. My late father-in-law had them work on his barn outside of Punxsutawney. Very careful and skilled craftsman.
Very cool! Looking forward to seeing the robots in action.
Glad you got rain for your crops. God bless!!
❤❤❤❤
You may need a floor sweeper and snowblower to keep the robot lanes clear of dirt and snow.
The concrete lane for the feeder robot is longer than I expected.
Also, it’s nice. You got some rain. Hopefully it cools down a little bit. Also Hope you get more rain than that can reach to the sky. 🙂🌱🌱🌿
I think it's great that you got a good amount of rain for the corn and other crops.
😊there's nothing more satisfying than playing with concrete... you can immediately see the improvement.
That summer rain and standing out in it is good for the soul and bring a smile to the face...when you are a farmer any rain durning summer is a most excellent rain and gratefully appreciated 🤗
Nice concrete improvements all round
Would have been neat to see if there was some radiant heat options to tie into your solar power to keep those lanes melted in the winter.
Look at you!. If this farming thing dont work out you can be a concrete finisher. LOL
PTL you got some rain at the right time!! God Bless!!!!
Very Glad you got some rain maybe it will rain for a week slow, that will make the corn hopefully get some more at silk and u will be set
nice to see you getting rain.we haven't had any for 3 months now, probably be another 3 before we see any. Ca.

Great video Eric. thank you so much.
Since it's so hot, put up a water mist for the cows. It will help to keep the cool.
Awesome rain storm
That was a cool and informative video guys. Timely rains as well. 🎉
Really glad you got that sorely needed rain
i hope you get rain, in Iowa our corn tasseled last month and its 10ft tall, worried our recent derecho was going to lay it down but it was like a wall of concrete!!!
looking great shame work stopped for the rain but i think the crops need it more looking very nice all coming along nicely robots soon can not wait to see them
That is going to look nice for the robot feeder. Can't wait till it is done. Thanks for showing us. ❤❤❤
Man we love how much you guys have done to upgrade the farm, think we subscribed to your channel when you had about 200k subscribers and we can't wait until you hit 500k.
If you can plz do another Q & A with you dad we dont really get to see or hear much from.

Love seeing the progress!
Great video we need some rain in Western N C keep videos coming 😂😂
I love to watch you guys expand. Congratulations on a successful family business.
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE ROBOTS WORK
You must own half the concrete company by now when your,all done it would be interesting to know how many yards total
Awesome video Eric, even tho you were wet behind the ears for 1/2 of it. Glad things are coming together. 🚜🚜🚜
I was just thinking that we call it a beautiful day when it is warm and sunny with clear blue skies, but not everywhere.
I recently got a fairly big shed slab poured here in country Victoria Australia at my 20 acre property. I never tire from watching concreters at work, especially a guy that can squat down and level like that. Must burn the quads !
That formwork was impressive.
down in southern virginia where i am the corn crops are in really bad shape. we have finally got a few thunderstorms to drop rain but im affraid its too late for these crops to produce even a decent yield
I'd love to hear an update on your solar production!
Guys! Can’t wait to see that robe in action!
Great Video, good to see the concrete work coming together, thanks for sharing
Very clean dairy farmer!
I am loving this project!
That's a lotta work!! Concrete job is excellent.How will the robots do during winter??
I always enjoy watching
Eric you were like a little kid playing in the rain😂😂😂
I know how exciting rain can be when you’re sweating on it for crops 👌
Can’t wait to see.
A project for the future!
All you farm owners come together in the area and find away of collecting all the storm water to use for farming so when a farm doesn’t get hit by a storm the neighbours have some collected that can be used, big project I know but will help to future proof lots of land for farming
Thanks for sharing this with us
Praise the Lord for Rain!! Woo!
It is all very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
great video . . . it is all coming together nicely
Praise God for sending you rain!
Eric, if it has been hot for you just imagine, wearing leather all day
Hi Eric,Edward from Vermont, I am very impressed with your dairy operation
Great video Eric can’t wait to see the robots at work!
So glad you got some rain😊
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
Praise The Lord y’all got some rain. You should have shown the corn to show how fast it can recover with some rain.
What a great video and coverage on the whole operation. Your commentary just keeps getting better every video you make.
It shows as well by how many subscribers you have 445K and and as of now 14,528 views in just over 2 hours.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!!
The Amish crews are very good at concrete.
thanks for that great coverage of the pour!
Georgia has been the same way. Finally getting rain.
Looks good so glad yall have gotten sone rain.
So glad you got some rain.
Excellent video
A lot of concrete!!!!!! TYJ for rain!
I'm at 2:35 in the video. Thinking long term drought>>with so many cows on the farm, is there an available purchase of sileage within a 100 mile radius?
Yes we would be able to purchase silage from neighbors
Awesome improvements Eric! Looks great. 👍
I thought of a suggestion for your silage bunkers . Anything direct to human consumption is a high value commodity . Maybe Mushrooms or bedding plants. I don't know what the cost , profit , amount of effort would be , just a thought .
Love your style, it's like a burst of creativity in every video!
