It is funny the horses know when someone else is driving and try to get away with more
That hayfield was thick with a good growth. Just listen to those knives chattering. My grandfather told me back in the fifties; "Chattering knives, thick hay."
Yes, we have had a very good hay year
that is a well trained team when you get them to backup
Grand dad had a couple mules when I was young. When lunch time came, they would just stop.
Haha, they knew what was important!
My dad had the same experience with mules.
I grew up in the 1960's on a country road just like this one, a bit closer to Syracuse than where you are, but still totally rural, and still very rural to this day. I remember the very rare car going by ... safe for my brother and me as kids to ride bikes around in the road all afternoon, throw balls, have high-bounce contests with Super Balls, have foot races, work Tonka toy excavators in the ballast alongside the roadway thinking we were building a new road section. We even had neighbors haying in the summer, but with tractors - no horses, unfortunately. That all seems like 1,000 years ago now! Great video today.
Thanks for sharing the memories of simpler times
This is the time of year farmers 👩🌾 and their horses🐴 get to work from sun ☀️ up to sun ☀️ down.We always said on our farm making hay this late in the year was like making two crops in one. The many rains you have had has made hay making tough. Thanks.
Lots of work to do!
Good that young one take interest with horses way they work 😊😇🇮🇱 🇺🇲💖
Good job hay in the barn.Nice to see young people interested in the big horses.Especially the young lady that wants to be Vet.Most just want a small animal practice.Horses sure can tell who is driving.When you have horses you don,t need a watch they will tell you when it’s time to eat.
Hmmm can almost smell that sweet hay!
Good days working the field to get the hay harvested. Thank goodness for neighbors to help, when needed.
Absolutely
Another awesome video! I am 62 yrs old and would be just as giddy as those youngsters to have a chance to ride along with you while raking and (gasp) maybe a chance to drive the team too. lol Thanks for sharing all that you do.
Haha, Thanks for watching
I'm right there with you on that, brother. I would definitely be "giddy as a school girl" if given the opportunity to drive those beautiful creatures.
Nice to see young people learning about horses and using some older equipment. When this technology all crashes someday. This will be what we have left.
In the 1930's my mom said her dad would hitch up the sleigh and drive to a group of cedars beside the house. Then, very quietly, he wouldclimb down and sneak her on board, tell the team to walk on and he would be out of their sight behind the cedars. Mom said this would work for a while but they would figure out it wasn't her dad driving and things would slow down considerably! Loved these old stories.
Haha, thanks for the story!
What a beautiful sound, i think i could listen to that all day long
You must be very courageous to be cutting hay when such dark clouds are looming on the horizon. Here in Missouri with the high humidity we have when hay gets rained on it rapidly turns yellow and even red.
It is always nice to see young people who want to learn how to work with horses.
The weather report changes so often it's hard to know when to cut!
Jim is my favorite farmer, i am a farmers grandson, good job sir Jim
Thanks
Jim I have to tell you ,when I start to watch videos if you are on, that is what I watch ,
You are a breath of of fresh air with the way the world it is today
Julien Lamarche
Thanks Julien, glad to hear it
Good evening Jim/family,Jim you and your horses work so incredibly hard 👏👏👏👏l wish l could be there to get everything done in the stables for when you have finished at the end of a long day.l could sort all the horses,mucking out,grooming,feeding,and made sure they had water.And tend to the horses that have come in late to help you out.....lf only hahaha my dream job.All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕🇬🇧 bet you sleep well after a long day like that 💤💤💤
You are very kind! Take care and all the best to you as well
You guys have been busy! Olivia is a natural. She'll be a good vet. Those little girls have some memories for life, well at least Riley does (sorry if I misspelled her name - I also see it spelled Ryleigh and other ways). I'm 60 years old and still have memories from my girlhood of riding in horse-drawn wagons with my grandpa. Good memories! 🐎👨🌾👩🏼🌾🐔🐮🐷🐖🧺
Glad you have those good memories
Mr. Jim you had some long days but it was amazing. The time you took with those young ladies was priceless. Amazing video of an amazing man and his horses.
Good Evening from South Africa. [ 20 : 30 ].
Welcome South Africa!
@@suzannemomma Thank you!.
Greetings! Thanks for watching from so far away!
REALLY nice day to tag along with you guys, you all got a lot done. I hope Bill Isn't to mad at you for his late lunch! LOL 🐝🌻💞😺
Always like to see the young people showing an interest in such things as farming. What a special day for those that got a chance to drive a team.
A fun video.✌🙏🏼❤🖖
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow Jim and all of your helpers, if we could introduce many kids ro what it is to farm ohh what surprise the kids would see and learn what goes into working a farm. Probably wont be liked by a few people but my grandparents raised me doing hard work and I am still here. Great Video Jim and Team. TGBTG
Yes, hard work is good for kids
Good to see this young girl getting out instead of video games! I was 9 when i first got my horse thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Love this video. These kids will remember these moments for the rest of their lives. Better than any summer camp you spend money on.
I remember doing stuff like this with my grandfather 57 years ago.
That is a beautiful huge field you were working in.
You are one hell of a dude at your age to be able to spend 6 hours out there like that. And I am sure that wasn’t the only thing you did that day.
I know if I tried to do that now …… you would hear me snoring all the way in the woods the next day.
You are not only making hay Jim, you are making history every day.
My fondest memories of when I was young was going to my Grandads and helping with the horses. He had a trotter and a little buggy as well as work horses. Great days.
sound like great memories
I do sleep good. It was great having a helper!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim
They are good memories Jim ………. Except when I was using a hay fork like a spear………. Sent it right through my foot.
My grandfather who was in his late 70’s at the time carried me in his arms all the way to the house. Of course my grandmother yelled at him “what did you do to the poor child”.
This was at a time in Ireland that people of that age would never think of running with you to a doctor or hospital. Granny disinfected my wound and bandaged my foot. Of course I milked the attention for a few days and never used a hay fork like that again 😀
I was only 5 years old
I have never heard a horse make that sound. The trust they have..... Gorgeous videoing Brenda!!! I'm so glad I live in NY.
Nice to see, when I was young I mowed hey with horses, I drove the tractor a mccormick w6 for the more havy jobs like pulling the combine a dechentreiter with a vw motor. That was 1950s
The kids are so honest and curious . So lovely to allow them some joy. What a treat to be able to handle a team
Great job raking hay Olivia
Good of you to take time to let to the future horse handlers a chance behind the reins Jim they will never forget it Im sure.
Its great that you get to work with the kids. I’m sure they love it.
Yes they do
Thank you for showing me what you do. Via the flip camera. I grew up on a farm, way back when we used horses for everything. I am 86 years old but my memory is as sharp as a tack. Listening to the sound of the machinery is what I haven't heard for years. And seeing how you work your horses and the care you show them is beautiful. I can almost smell the fresh-cut hay. Almost. And Oh the stories I could tell you, most of them are funny and some not so funny. Life back then was hard but very rewarding. There wasn't a lot of time to get into trouble.
Thanks for watching, we bet you do have lots of stories.
I really enjoy your channel. Please keep up the good work, My grandfather was a mule skinner.
The horses must've thought either "We SHOULD slow down, it's an apprentice driving" or "We CAN slow down, it's an apprentice driving"
Left the farm (Wisc.) at 11 yrs. old. Yes, we had a team of 'Belgian Mares'. KATE & QUEEN - - Can't say what I miss the most. At 79yrs. old I must say, It was a mistake to leave the farm!!
Very good video , nice to have girls ride along , that's important for all , stay safe !
Thanks, you too!
Jim wonderful video it’s nice you were able to get the hay cut and bailed that’s a lot of hard work I wish you all the best friend God Bless .
Thanks, you too!
This is a wonderful video. The girls did well, and are lucky that you're willing to teach them. What a thrill that must be for them to work with the horses and the equipment. And the little ones -- how cool they got to ride along with their dad and you.
Very enjoyable video. So great that you let the youngsters drive and enjoy the horses.
Such a good feeling to get the hay in!
Thank You Very Much for the video's. It is great to watch you farm with the horse's. Have a great rest respect / soft spot for those draft horses,, they are very noble creachers. Again Thank You for shareing.
That is still a lot of hay down for horse power!! When I see you handling that cutter bar, I'm saying Fingers!! Nice that she wants to learn, and she has a good teacher!! Horses do know who has the reins! Ha! I always put down a lot of hay when I was getting company!! I remember a few times there was no dew, and we put hay in all day, all night, and all the next day!! 2 of us would stop at night to milk, and same in the morning- the rest kept wagons & trucks unloaded! My Dad would chase us out of the house at lunch time, and say, you can eat when it's raining, lets go!!
Oh, those wonderful hay day memories!
Some of my best summer days as a kid were spent in the hay field , it was a nice feeling of getting the job done.
... and what about the smell .... whatever the time ... the smell of fresh hay, even for tens of years bring us back then in seconds.
@@printaboul we have a few dairy farms where I’m at, I always stop in to chat to the farmers and the smells bring back so many good memories
Awesome i got a lot of people i follow and just to let you know you are at the the top of my list 🐎🐎👍
Well thanks!
It is always great to see young people getting involved!! It is also good company for you Jim.
Yes it sure is!
I'm never disappointed when watching your videos!
good to hear!
So great to see the younger generations' interest in these grand horses!!
Really great
Jim, you are a good example to your apprentice. Looks like a nice hay crop this summer.
Yes we have a great hay crop this year
Thanks for another video. I love when the kids come to find out about the farm!
Our pleasure!
Jim, was great seeing you make some memories
Remember early 50s, farmer doing haying with horses, most had tractors. Fruitland ON
You are a great teacher, Jim. All the success for your future career Olivia.👍
You gave those young people a great 👍 experience they will never forget.
Awesome video (as always) & informative and interesting commentary. Thanks for posting.
Aa always an excellent video Jim..Always look forward to them
Hi
Great job love seeing the young helper ❤❤❤❤🙏
Thanks so much
I used to get upset too when my father would drag out lunch time when we were on a job. I can remember days of raking alfalfa in Nebraska on my brother-in-laws farm. Worked evenings and Saturdays to pay rent for living in the finished basement of their house. I was using an old JD at the time and they used "loaf" bails.
Haha, thanks for sharing the memories
Wow!! That's alot of work, you've got big fields. I don't know how you get so much done. And your horses are great. When you're out for a long time I hope you take breaks and water the horses (and drink plenty of water yourself, out in the sun all day). Great vid.
Yes, we all take water breaks. Thanks for your concern and for watching!
I think it's great this young ladies are trying to learn how to drive horses. You could teach most anything and be great. Your voice tone is relaxing and not judgemental. Stay safe and hope you get your hay in. My buddie is doing 2nd crop now
Thanks! Hope you stay safe as well
Long hours but rewarding knowing you have the feed for your animals. Great job!
Yes, thanks
Brings me back to my haying days when I was a young girl. I love the fragrance of fresh cut hay and always will. We didn't farm with horses, but my grandparents did. I did having riding horses and it shaped who I am today. 💯❣
Thanks for coming along with us
Great job all the way around. I liked seeing you teaching young people how to interact with the horses doing their job.
Hey, that's awesome! I have a cousin who grew up around large animals who started volunteering with their Vet when she was like 11 or 12 and she's now studying at NC State School of Veterinary Medicine. You all are wonderful for doing that! Yup, everyone has to remember that horses have their own personalities and think for themselves too... it's funny to see their little quirks and to build relationships with them.
Yes, they sure do have their own personalities.
Thanks for the video! always so nice seeing such amazing horses and family living a good life! Jealous though would love to learn how to drive! She has an awesome teacher that's for sure! Hope you are all well!
Yes we are, hope you are well also. Thanks for watching
A fine piece of mowing with a really good machine, well done!
Thanks 👍
Working Hay is Hard Work For Sure But I have Always Enjoyed it Even as a Kid I Always Couldnt Wait to Get Home From School To Put in Hay &/Or Tobacco I Miss The Tobacco Days A Lot ! But We Have Ben Doing Hay As Well but Cutting it With a Disk Mower & Round Bailing It I Racked About 15-20 Rolls Yesterday Evening & Then The Roller Broke The Shaft That Runs The Pick Up So That put a Damper on The Rest Of The Hay Season For The Year for Us any Ways..With Parts being What They Are Right Now it Would Probably Be 3-6 Months Just To Get The Part !
Very good video love watching the horses working
Your New Holland and Massey look so much like my dad's when I was growing up on the farm in NE Ohio. Making hay is so satisfying, rewarding and exhausting.
Telling u Jim that is a nice sound i love it
Thanks Jim and Brenda! Stressful times haying.......but you did it again!
beautiful horses great job Olivia x
Merci pour cette intéressante vidéo,a voir il y a beaucoup de foin cette année en Suisse aussi Albert
Bonjour!
I would think a large umbrella mounted on the equipment to shade you would be very nice
I remember this helping my Dad as a boy. A lot of good values I learned then. How to survive mainly. :)
Great job Olivia!!!
Yes, she is doing a great job
Hello jim love watching you with the horeses say hello to the rest of your family for me keep making the shows
Thanks Jim, at first your pace has me chomping at the bit, now I enjoy slowing down. Good teaching in the background of the video. Bob Jarrard in Nevada
The weather is a fickle thing. I did some painting yesterday and today it rained. All is well so far. I remember as a kid when we had to get the hay put up it was always a guessing game! Good that the girls are learning about the farm life and how hard it is. More people need to learn where the food comes from and how much work goes into producing it. Well done Jim and Brenda!
Yes, crazy weather this summer! Hope you get your painting done!
Thx for passing your horse knowledge on
Thanks for watching
Woohoo! She has the greatest teacher!
i want one of those mowers looks easer than a bushhog an does a better job seemz to me
much luv to Mr jim an his family an his horses i so enjoy watchin u guys ty for gettin a camera an recording
Great video Jim
I would like to know how Olivia felt getting the reigns to the horses . What an honor !
Jimmy’s doing it right awesome crew
Always like to see lots of hay for the 'critters" . Really enjoyed seeing the youngsters learning, they pick things up so quickly. Black flies are awful, but, must imagine the 'squeeters were bad too, when you worked late. They're eating us up in the middle of the day, here on the shore of Lake Michigan.
The horseflies were what were bothering them that day, they are fierce
Great Job!
Well done. You know the kids loved the horses and being part of the operation. Lucky for them to have this opportunity. Thank you for sharing.
🐴🐴
Thanks for watching
What a gratifying video. Hay put up & seeing the faces of all the young people driving & riding. Great job. I’ve had to use my full body fly nets on the horses this year more than in the past few years. All types of flies are terrible.
Glad you enjoyed it!Yes the flies are bad this year
My Dad use to use a baler with a Wisconsin engine on it.
I can almost smell that fresh mown hay
smelled pretty good!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim I bet! Thank you for your amazing channel. Now is it Ken who has the shorter tail?
Bill must be a member of the UDHWA. "United Draft Horse Workers of America"
haha
Aww... how cool... ty for sharing ❤
You need to invest in some horse fly veils, or you can make em yourself on cold winter days, here in Australia flies are a constant issue and horses soon learn to appreciate the veils. Keep smiling :-)
You too
Great video Jim she has a good teacher thank's for sharing
Thanks for watching
Simply amazing hats of to ya and you should be so proud of yourself as you did an amazing job and your horses and your yourself and it a pleasure to watching as your having (amount of bales) as the season looking amazing and your determination to getting your hay cop up with small squares and put in the barn the same day is simply amazing as yourself and your ladies helpers hats off to them as well keep on keeping on as your an inspiration to everyone who’s don’t using modern hating equipment plus it really a joy to watch the old way of haying stills does the job Thanks looking forward to your next adventures and looking forward to seeing what your next is plus thumbs up👍👍👍
Olivia has a great teacher and her willingness to jump right in makes for a great learning experience. I think she is off to a wonderful start.
She is a great student
What a great video
Excellent and couldn't be a better couple and family to be with...God bless you both..
Thanks, God bless you too!
So relaxing watching your videos, Jim !! Lord Bless your family !!
Speaking of fast walking, I've read once that suffolk are fast walkers. Mind you, I know more from reading than from doing, so ... hmm.
