DIRTY JOBS : Digging Trenches & Working on Old Gleaner Combine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This weekend we dug a trench, ran power to the crib, and have been trying to get Gerdie ready to combine barley. She's been a little hard to get along with. 🙃 Hope you're all doing well and staying safe. Thank you all SO MUCH for the love on my last video. I'm still trying to get through all the comments. Our family appreciates your support more than we can say! Until next time, farm hard, live well. xx, The Bernards

Tell you husband for me if I could get of of this bed I go help him and I see the love he has for your son too.
Before yall set down tonight stop and thank God you have each other now.
My wife come to the side of the bed and just sets and hold my hand now and it's the best feeling in the world.
As i get close to the end of my days now is wonderful to see yall and think back when i was a kid now.
As all ways Godbless y'all.
god bless you too .
Thanks for the reminder, Cliff. We all need to show love to those we love.
Special note... Thanyou Cliff
God Bless You kind sir.
And your sweet wife.
Cite.
I love.you.
Well I was 14 when my dad died and left 650 milking Holstein's but I look back thinking my dad prepared me to run the dairy and better yet he gave me the skills to learn how work and listen etc. So looking at your children work reminds me how important it is to empower our children with self worth. Your children will know how hard you and your hubby worked to provide and by them knowing how to work creates a priceless gift you are giving them and what a great thing it is to know you can do something. Great is the day that we can see the fruits of our labors and our children call us up and say thank you for showing them work is fun when you work together and create all you want.
thanks
Amen
This Farm wife you did a good job on the Corn Crib proud of you all the people who helped you tell him thanks for the good work
Your office is so cool you did that thing up right!! Lawrence what a talented man he is, this country has lost too many Lawrences . We need to raise more just like him!!
All men become Jekyll/Hyde when they are frustrated and under pressure. My late father got that way working cattle. It's not anything we have done wrong. God bless you all and hope you get in the field soon. ❤❤❤❤
I learned my fractions getting wrenches for my dad close to 50 yrs ago... But I learned to spread them out in order, if there was room, to be quicker to find when he called for one... Y'all be safe!
Austin is going to have some good muscle. You can tell Lawrence drove the backhoe a time or two. It’s really nine to see Lawrence teaching Wes to work on stuff 👍👍. She shed looks really nice, from the outside would never guess how beautiful the inside looks 👍. That’s the first time I heard Bonnie bark about going on a ride.
I'm just hoping Austin doesn't permanently damage her back, with some of the things she tries to lift. Those buckets seem a little too heavy for her.
What part of north Carolina do you live in?
I was born in oxford and grew up in siler city
I feel LB's pain. The older I get, the less I enjoy working on stuff.
Great video!! Seeing Wes helping Lawrence touched me to tears. Remember doing same stuff with my dad and grandpa on the tobacco farm many years ago. It gave me a lifetime of knowledge in "fixing stuff" plus a career in fixing stuff for others! Thank you so much. Miss my dad ..
She is so determined such a strong minded little girl great to see like her brother precious children 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺🥰❤️🥰
Don’t know if I should thank you or curse you. Since I watched one of your videos a few months back I cannot stop watching farming family videos and there are many. I’ve determined your profession are the most resourceful people on the face of the planet. Talk about essential.
Hey! I cook a veggie medley pretty often also-I found a solution to the potatoes taking a long time to get done. I get them ready for the frying pan but boil them instead until they begin to get tender-either stovetop or microwave. Then drain well and put in the frying pan. It cuts down on the cooking time and they seem to hold together better. Yes, it’s another thing to wash but I wash as I cook, so I don’t really mind. Thanks for that idea for supper tonight. My garden is giving me an abundance of vegetables, so I was having a hard time deciding which to cook for supper today-now I’ll cook them all!! Your crib has turned out wonderfully. Bless you and your family!!
Mrs Meredith, I understand where you and Me Lawrence is coming from, he gets aggravated with whatever he's working on because it's not going as planned,then you have to be on the receiving end of him...lol...I've been there,done that, your kids sure are being BIG help on the farm,may the Lord continue to bless you and your family
What gets me is the faceless people that give a thumbs down review. Good job Bernard Family
Tell Wes his dad means well when he's helping him. My dad was almost 47 when I was born and 49 when my brother was born . We were always working with our dad when he was doing something . Wes will know stuff that his friends will not know and will be very impressed when he is able to do something that they never thought he could do . My dad was born in 1911 and had to go to work at a young age. Tell Lawrence I respect all he does .
Meanwhile you're young and your father is gone and you spend your adulthood fatherless. I don't get the having kids when old.
My grand daddy always said” if you want test a preacher, put him to work on combine for 4 hours. If he doesn’t cuss a blue streak, he is a man of god!”
Beautiful conversion on changing the use of an historic farm structure into your own personal "She Shed".
Look at that trench Lawrence. MINT!! Give him a pat on the back!!! Very nice job!!👍👍👍👍
The crib looks great now too
He'd get Dom up n rippin crop in no time.
@@piperdoug428 darn rights!!
Nice to see small family farms still around. Grew up on a family dairy farm myself. Enjoy watching every video. Thanks.
Your little helper is just like mine when she was younger & very bossy boots but we love them 👍🏴🇬🇧🆒👌🏼🇺🇸❤️
Btw check out Meredith's cooking channel. Good recipes
Thanks!
Who needs cats when u have Clara. Dogs do day shift, cats do the night shift. Yes you need cats, they are active when the rats are most active, NIGHT TIME!!!!
A woman smart enough to know when to walk away from her man when he is working on something that is frustrating him or make him grumpy is a rare thing. Lol
Great job on the crib!! Back in the day when I was a mechanic, I purchased magnets on telescoping extensions because I was ALWAYS dropping nuts and washers AND they ALWAYS found a spot that my hand would not fit in.
I think your daughter wants to take over farming!
The crib looks great! Combine repairs can for sure be a bit of a pain, the silver lining is that the Gleaners like your's are the easiest to service of any brand. The meals you showed looked very good, real food for real people. :-) U & LB teach your kiddo's well, & a little hard work never hurt anyone. Who ever views your videos can plainly see that Wesley + Austin want to be doing all that they can to help out. Thank you all for sharing your lives on your family farm & always keep safety in mind. Looks like time to take the pups swimming, lol.
Remind sister that it was MARY ANN not GINGER that all the guys liked (TRUE) that is if you know of Gilligan's Island !!
That’s great that she wants to do it herself. Very good confidence builder. Keep up the good work.😂😂
Get Elmo a salt lick. That's why he licking you
Looks like your OL’ Man has dug a ditch or two in his life . Thanks fore sharing ..😎. Please Never lay your acetylene cylinder on its side because there is acetone in there to keep the acetylene stable . It can be on an angle or straight up only or all the acetone drains through your torch slowly and the gas in the cylinder can become very unstable. A lot of people don’t know how volatile acetylene can be . I am a retired heavy equipment mechanic and welder of 39 years .
Something new learned.
AND make sure that if you do lay it on it's side, the valve protector is installed! If the valve gets broken, the tank with turn into one giant projectile!
Working on a dirt floor you need to go to Harbor Freight and get a cheap magnet with a handle. Worth every penny, l know from experience.
Just bought one last week. Found bolts for my chain saw in thick grass.
Having grown upon a livestock farm I can fully relate to everything happening in this video, it is so true in life on the farm :) !!
If you didn't know any better, you'd think that the old corn crib was still just an old building with nothing of value inside. The transformation is amazing.
Happy to see you went with the mini-split. Cold air in the summer and heat in the winter.
I have one for my shop, but unlike you, my land has more lime stone than dirt. I need someone with one of the large rotary saws to trench to the building. For now, the electric line is above ground.
Tillers like snow blowers look easy to operate until you run one. It doesn't help that your tiller has no drive wheels, just the single wheel in the front. Lots of body English needed to operate.
OBTW, thanks for the Orrington flavorings. After seeing your video, I made a purchase of both the beef and chicken flavors. Cooked up a nice London broil on the grill and made some sauteed mushrooms with gravy for the mashed potatoes.
Thanks! The crib really did turn out amazing. :D Glad you tried the bases!
dropping washers and small nuts in the grass became so prevalent for me as I worked on things like lawnmowers .. I finally bought a sensitive little metal detector to find them back .. it worked
... and there is more to the story, .. i was randomly metal detecting this spring "just for fun" and i found an old penny .. a 1909-s which turned out to be worth something, it paid for the detector ...
Another help for finding those lost parts is a magnet.
That was great, Gus at the end. Love that dog. :)
You should make a t-shirt that says farm girl strong with a young girl feeding cows.
Y’all are just a wonderful escape from the craziness of the world today! ❤️
Wow you so deserve that beautiful office it’s so good.❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🥰
i would love to hear some LB's working words. I bet there are some good ones in that head of his
Combines are always a pain to work on. Hopefully he gets everything fixed so nothing breaks during harvest. The crib is looking amazing, the heater and air conditioning will be so nice for you. One thing about kids on a farm, they learn responsibility at a young age. Love watching your channel.
The Crib is a great looking project. Old outside, new inside!
You are just too funny (tension don't want to ask) have a great day Be Safe
❤️the crib, chicken fried steak and give Lawrence enough time and he will fix anything. Hope you guys get a little rain and Gerdie quits giving you guys trouble.
I know just how your husband feels now .
You do everything you can and then hope and pray.
Godbless yall
Love your crib girl! It's beautiful, and now you have electricity, and an air conditioner/heater....cool😊👍
A good woman definitely knows when to zip it can relate 😂🥰❤️🥰🇦🇺
Bonnie's Voice is wonderful! She has a very pleasant bark!!!! :)
lawrence should use never - cease on all of those pully shafts ,he wont have to fight them so hard next time. i grew up with uncles and grandfater just like him. they lived in laurens county south carolina. they could do everything. they could blacksmith carpentry electrical and so on. they were poor and if you could not fix it yourself you may go hungry. love to watch your family work together like a family. all for one and one for all. god bless.
That crib is very unique, would love to have a man cave like that 👍
She is not afraid of work gets right in there
I have never missed working on the Gleaner we had. It was a great machine while it was working, but it was a bear when it broke down...
Another busy week on the farm. The crib looks great have you come up with a name yet for it. Miss Annabelle says hi and your taters sure look yummy sounds like Ampa will be making her some this week I remember my grandma doing this she called leftover veggies taters and yes they are really good. Keep up the great videos
Thanks Kenny! Hi to Miss Annabelle for me :)
11:05... My mom used to make a version of that and called it slop 🤔🤪... you can also add cut up hot dogs or sausage
Yup, farm girl tough!!!!! I out worked every guy on the farm. Outworked myself into double Inguinal hernias and a prolapsed bladder ☹️. Be careful.
Hi Meredith I love your videos keep them up
Bless her heart Austin's gonna be running that place before long! 😁
Tell Bernard don't be too tough on His Self, it doesn't matter how many tools you own you never have the correct one that you need....EVER! 🤪 ✌🇺🇸
Great job on the new office
Someone else may have suggested this already. Get a rear tine tiller and it won’t work you as hard.!
This is something to ask your two kids And try to say it this way >>>>> ( If I had 20 sick sheep and one died how many to I have left ) So when saying this just hold your hands and show all your fingers like all 10 and they will think you said >>>>> If you had 26 sheep and one died lol lol They always say 25 lol lol and when saying sick say that a little fast lol lol they can now tell there friends lol lol
Haha, will have to try that one. They love jokes like that
Awesome looking crib
There isn't a combine out there that doesn't need something fixed.
I love your hubby! I have a brother in law who's a farmer, and he's exactly like that. But my sister isn't exactly a farmer's wife. Quite the opposite. Great videos!
Your "She Crib" turned out great.... Now to fill those walls with Pictures... Great Job
Hey Meredith,
Nice to see you cold pull starting another machine in a video so congratulations!
Can you please redo the video and show you doing an unedited normal speed cold pull start video on the tiller and other machines?
Be there shortly....! Only fourteen (14) comments to read during next five (5) minutes....
Supper looks delicious
Hello sorry y’all have so much trouble with all the rain flooding your fields.
Thank you. It’ll all work out one way or another
I need a little helper
Can i adopt Austin and bonnie
Be safe
Be careful with you go out
Crib is looking good
I hope the sign im making for the crib. Soon
I'm late , love you lady.please pray for me and boots my kitty he has cancer...I've lost a lot lately..just need God's ppl to lift me up to our Lord and Saviour🙏🙏🙏❣❣❣❣ may God bless
Oh no, I’m so sorry Candice. 😢 Praying for you and your kitty. Hang in there sweet lady!💛💛
@@ThisFarmWife_ I'm trying seems like my world has crashed in on me..my son and his wife are divorced..just really down. Thank you for your prayers..
Candace, I just prayed for you and your family. I don't know you or where you are from (I'm from Ontario, Canada) but God knows your name and where to find you so he can walk with you. (But you already knew that.) This channel is a great place to go when you need a boost and some hope. Lawrence just doesn't know what quit means and Meredith is just the greatest cheerleader anyone could hope for. Now, these two have had some hard days (did you see those floods? Wow!) Yet they keep going and I'm sure that someday they will finish well but not before they have lifted more people than they have ever realized. You are a Pastor's wife and these are tough days for Pastors - very disorienting. Add hurting kids to a mother's heart and you really need some grace. May it be new to you every morning. Phil 4:8
@@rawhidehat thank you , my precious love of my life is with the Lord way to young. But went misdiagnosed 😢😢 may God bless you.
I think it is so awesome of how you compliment your kids that they did a good job, even when they think they did not. You are a great mom!
He reminds me so much of my grandpa...
Great video Meredith
I just love seeing you guys dine on the beef, the proper human diet, great work guys!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. Corn crib turned out great, those mini-split systems sure look impressive. Some of them will even run straight off of solar panels without batteries. Saw on setup where they were using a mini-split to cool A small insulated building to use for food storage like a root cellar. Ran whenever the sun was out and cooled down into the 40s I think. Food looked great, you are so creative at making comfort foods. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
Two days ago I ordered two hats and an apron off your store , looking forward to getting them , I always need a couple new hats in hunting season.ohhh I just about forgot ,,,,a t shirt in memorabilia of baby Elmo wrapped with that Elmo blanket on the back of the t shirt screen printed would be exspensive, but I do think that it would sell really good , I know I would buy several
Thanks so much!
Austin is going to be one of those tough, cute, hard headed farm girls like I used to be scared of in high school. Good for her!
Combine can test the patients of a preacher been there done that
It's great to see you have tought your kids to work and you still let them be kids, by playing and doing their own things.
Hell its so frustrating when your trucks or equipment breaks down when there’s work to b done ✅👍🇬🇧🏴🆒🇺🇸
Hey Edith...you asked us what we want to see...got a few more fur ya shug...we would like to see a Bonnie cam, Clara/Gus cam, Elmo/Jingo Cam, and a Panda/Twister cam...ya know seeing thangs from their prospective...aw let'er rip tater chip🖐🤣😜😎Cheers
thanks for letting me see more about the Gleaner combine. retracting fingers at the top of the feeder house was a good idea to keep material moving and reduce clogs. cousin bought a old Gleaner and he needs to get it moved here. it's over in Nash county about 23 miles away. he planted corn this year and that's the first corn in our life time here on The Little Farm. Granddaddy or great granddaddy might have grown some corn but I got no remembrance of that. I farmed this place for the last 19 years and now cousin is jumping back in and I'm delighted with all he has done this year. always fun to see what you are up to. thanks for making videos..
That new she'd is nice! My backhoe is a 1025R JOHN DEERE WOULD FIT IN MR.LAWRENCE FRONT bucket wish he could show this old man how to operate it.
Thank you .. for the tour of the new workspace "office" .. it is so private, yet close by .. and as I have mentioned before .. these mini-video visits are like a breath of fresh air on this Tuesday.
“Farm girl tough”, that young lady could out work some grown men I know.
Austin 😘you go girl 👧 Clara good girl those old Rats 🐀🐀Be careful drinking much water can wash your Sodium 🧂 out it happened to my Mother every thing in moderation Bonnie steals the show 😍🐕🐕🐕🐕 she was excited 😆
Love your office... how cool. I love corn cribs.
I love fixing things and watching things get fixed. My father could fix anything and I loved helping him.
Now I fix my Harley and my own car
Lol at the tiller work... outta seen the of ourbgarden tiller... it was a beast... huge tires. Even had plow attachment
The corn crib looks great!! Hopefully the combine will be ready soon.
I worry about your litte helper might do a permanent injury to her back lifting those heavy weights...just saying, I really enjoy your vides...
operators come in 2 varieties just like peanut butter, smooth & extra crunchy!!!! Lawrence is smooth!! I have installed a lot of those "mini splits" everyone loves them.. the only down side to them & im north of you a good bit...is they stop making heat at 10 degrees!!! which is a problem here.....thank you for sharing with us!! I love the "crib"
Your videos are always so good. Thank you.
Thank you!
Meredith.
You mew old corn crib she shead look's great I hope that it brings you many hours of comfort and joy ladys need that. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Farm Equipment
👍👌🇨🇦❤, Bonnie ain't saying anythihg, she's pleading the 5th when it comes to bucket talk
I will give you a little tip Meredith, On your Mini-split system ( good luck for one) Make sure that you keep the filters and Coils clean, If you don't they have a habit of freezing up. Also your drain line, Have LB put a screen over the end so Mud-dauber's will go in the drain tube and build there nest and plug it up then the water will back up into your Mini-split. Mini Splits are a great idea, But they lacking in the long term usage. The only reason I know this is that my Wife worked for a Large HVAC Company, She ran the warehouse and they always had calls about the Mini-Split systems the Company installed. Not to mention that she had a Mini-Split system in her office that was always on the fritz.
So, you are resilient and tender. I need to hug you! Weston(sp) is incredibly a fast track fine young man, and I’m sure Lawrence is lucky and happy to have such a right hand man! Weston, pay attention because your text book is the man helping you fill those boots...Austin, amazing farm girl, want to and resilience, ooo rah! A strength inside like the lady who grows you and shows you! I love the dogs! Your emotion outside your corn crib transcended to this guy...❤️
Talking about something to do...we used to let skeeters bite and fill up and flex our muscles and they couldn’t escape! Big blood splatter! Oh, wait maybe that was just me😳
I just walked into you channel first time. And had a shock!
Your bluey startled me. Years ago I had the most lovely Heeler for many years in Aussie, spitting image of yours.
I miss her still. But your lovely young assistant wrestling with the Cattle feeder cheered me up.
I have two daughters so I know about "I can do it Dad"......I always swell with pride. And it gets better when they are in their 30's so you have a lot to look forward too. I hope the rain holds for you honey.
Look back at the video and as you was putting the first block under the combine head you was hitting something buried in the dirt...LOL
Great video,love all the content,get a mantis four stroke tiller for the flower bed's and such,very handy and lightweight very easy to operate,Save's the back!till the next time God Bless!
Being a safety officer myself, those forks on the tractor really makes me really nervous. I know it's to much trouble to take them off when not in use. But maybe at least makes some safety covers or corks for them so that no of you gets stabbed by them. What if someone trips on something and falls into them. SAFETY FIRST. Really nervous. I guess it's just my job.
More rain ,nice get the feeding done before,those bucks probably are heavy,lolo,l haha, nice thanks, good dirty dogs , looks like they got in the Pond , or something, wow , farming is always fun, I remember, some of the best days in my life back in my younger days, thanks Meredith love it, nice change to every thing else that’s going on right now, ok 👍 thanks y’all BigAl California.
Yaaahoooo I'm in the top 3 lol hahhah. Take care MER
Have a great day!
We need rain here real bad!!! We haven't had anything since seeding really. Oh well maybe this week
