Awesome weekly tour Eric! Never get's old for us Fans in the very thoughtful ways you place your camera to get us some really gnarly views! Know it's extra work on your side of the lens but it is not forgotten so Thank You! I'm always interested in seeing the progress of your corn, soybeans and the reasons on how you deal with weather, weeds, and spraying! It connects the dots towards the the Harvest Videos later! Your Cows live the best life and are pampered and well cared for by you and your dad and the rest of the working crew! You all set the bar high on Work Ethics but sure is a pleasure to see too! Appreciate you all Farming and taking care of us! MOO From Next Door in COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
Nice to see a real American farmer Puts in more hours in a single day than most people put in a month One of my favorite utube farmers right alongside Larsons farms Thanks for taking something of your off time to allow us city folks what's it takes to put milk on our tables Lots of very hard work Not just running down to the corner store So glad we still have farmers who love real farming Thank you so much
How are you feeling after your stint in the hospital? Your voice sounds better then it did right afterwards. I hope you're on the mend. Take care of yourself.
I love watching your videos. It makes me so lonesome for the dairy farming life again. I grew up on a dairy farm in Northwestern Wisconsin so it brings back quite a few memories. Thanks for your hard work. I find it all very interesting!
I really enjoy your checking on the progress of your crops. Especially lately where the crops are really growing fast. Sure hope you get some rain.Great to see the new silo operating well for you. Keep cool, thanks for another great video and see you on the next one.
Nice video Eric. It seems to me that you're talking more to us instead of at us. I think It's much more personable and I like it better. Looking forward to the new feeder and everything with it. Good job. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!
I love seeing the crop status. I always enjoy the few minutes you spend on the crop analysis. Looks like you need to air up the tires on the feed tractor a bit.
The most common mineral found in wells is iron. Probably explains the brown tint on your filter. Might I suggest Installing a flow meter on your inlet side to give you a better indication of when to change your filter. I have the double filter housing, one charcoal for the chlorine and bone char for the fluoride. Why our board of water continues to poison us is beyond me. Those filters arent cheap so, knowing when to change them when they reach their intended gallon limit is nice.
Sad to see that some people still believe the fluoride is somehow harmful for you. Reminds me of the 1950s when the John Birch Society was telling people it was a government plot to sap our vital body fluids.
@@robbybachmann8061 Yes they are but pressure gauge are actually better to give you true idea. It is all based on how bad your water is so if it is not to bad you change it less. with it is bad you need to change it sooner.
The Metals you are Filtering out are Iron and Manganese. They are found in a lot of Ground Water Sources. Your Bacteria issue might be coming from your Inactive Well Line. If its not Closed off Properly any water in that line can go Stagnant and grow bacteria.
100% correct. Most of the aquifer from Maine to Georgia (farther from the coastline) has significant amounts of these metals and are acidic. This past year I installed a superior treatment system to my well (400+ deep) after testing it against the old system and straight well samples. I am pleased with the current purity of what I now have. Everyone with well systems should keep on top of their water quality. Not just the bacteria, but the pH levels of the water, the mineral content and insoluble material may be harmful to the health of people as well as livestock and pets.
Hey Eric, I have been coming to the produce auction by you for roughly 3-4 years and just this year I noticed the silos in the distance and never knew you were that close lol. I’m in Fredrick Md and come up every week. I would love to stop by and say hi sometime!
Nice update, Eric. I have a couple of questions. "Dry cow feed" ( I'm guessing here). Cows that have stopped producing. What do you do with them? I'm sure you dont just keep them around and keep feeding them. Also, do you have to have a vet show up once a month or so to check your herd over. Just curious. Very impressed with this whole operation. Ultra violet light water treatment, setting up a medicaid water treatment for huff sores. There are so many behind the scenes operations it takes to operate your farm..... Again, it is very interesting!
We stop milking a cow for her last 2 months of pregnancy before she has a calf and starts milking again. Those are called dry cows. Yes we have a vet stop in monthly for pregnancy checks and we discuss any other issues we're dealing with.
Your crops are looking a lot better than ours in East Tennessee. We’ve not had rain in almost 5 weeks. It’s not going to be a good year for our silage this year.
Y’all must have a lot of iron in your wells too. Here in South Central Va. we have a lot of dissolved in our well water. It look clear but after a while you’ll have reddish stains appear on solid surfaces.
Eric your videos are addictive. I just started watching about 2 weeks ago and I have trouble turning them off. There's another young farmer like yourself a young skinny blonde boy but he doesn't make working on a dairy farm half as interesting as you do. Keep up the good work as I continue to look forward to all your videos.
How many square bales duo you shred to fill your bin ? How much duo you use in silage feed ? Do you guys use molasses in your silage feed while you ground silage? Eric that looks like hard lime on the filter . We had the same problem it’s called hard water lime build up . We put bleach down in our well quit a lot of bleach.But depends on how deep your well is 1 gallon for every foot.
Ola, gosto muito dos seus vídeos, compartilhamos da mesma profissão fazendeiros de fazenda de leite. Aqui no Brasil é diferente, o clima e mais quente. Trabalhandos com forragem unica, ou seja silagem de milho apenas.
Do they take the string off the bales before chopping it or is it a special string? or just so little it has no effect on the feed? Just wondering, baling twine is my best friend, never go anywhere without it or second best cable ties.
Have you thought about giving your dad a camera full time and create him his own channel. It would be cool it do a ride along on one of your cows during a milking cycle like cows eye view

Nice to see a real American farmer
Puts in more hours in a single day than most people put in a month
One of my favorite utube farmers right alongside Larsons farms
Thanks for taking something of your off time to allow us city folks what's it takes to put milk on our tables
Lots of very hard work
Not just running down to the corner store
So glad we still have farmers who love real farming
Thank you so much

Back to normal now, thanks

Hi Eric, the crops are doing very well, can't wait to see the new system at work. Up here in Minnesota we have a lot of iron and lime in our water.
Eric, will you have a system at your house to monitor your new feeding system if something goes wrong?
Beautiful and happy cows. I love your videos and your work. Congratulations to you and your family, small and large
Some was even tail waggin'....go watch....✅️👍👀🤣🙂🙃😂🤣
Me, watching these videos from my high rise condo in Miami, FL, overlooking the ocean, wondering if I made the right choice in life.
Me, watching these videos from my backyard in Maine, overlooking the beautiful Sandy River, KNOWING that I made the right choice in life.
Hard to beat farm life. :)
@@beckyumphrey2626 I think you mean “ farm life hard” 😂
I know that I didn't.
@@maniachill3069I used to farm land by the sandy river
Many acres of crops replanted here in tropical Minnesota. The rivers are receding now but everything is far behind.
That Big Blue is what I use for my whole house filter. Thanks for the video 👍
Nice video Eric. It seems to me that you're talking more to us instead of at us. I think It's much more personable and I like it better. Looking forward to the new feeder and everything with it. Good job. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!
WOW, that corn looks perfect!
Very nice camera on your unloader. Appears to take a lot of the guess work out
In Central Virginia the corn has already tasseled. A lot of hot weather, significant rain and corn are very happy plants.
Amazing how clean your farm is and the care you give your livestock great job.
That skidloader is the real MVP man get that thing some oil and a nice wash it deserves it 👍🏼 god bless you
Come to Central MN, we can't get the rain to stop this year.
So excited to see this farm transform!!
Stay at it Eric, Your operation is very impressive.
Skid steer operation should be a new olympic event. Most large farms have them, but Eric operates his like a maestro.
I love seeing the crop status. I always enjoy the few minutes you spend on the crop analysis. Looks like you need to air up the tires on the feed tractor a bit.
its is so nice to follow farming by your videos

Great comment Jim! Loved learning about this! Salute👋

He has a gauge on each side of the filter that lets him know when it needs to be changed.
@@Budd56those gauges r only psi. Very different from an actual flow meter.
@@robbybachmann8061 Yes they are but pressure gauge are actually better to give you true idea. It is all based on how bad your water is so if it is not to bad you change it less. with it is bad you need to change it sooner.
Thanks prayers for rain.😊
Have fun in the winter with the feeder they really dont like ice or snow but glad to see it all comjng together for you
That corn and the beans definitely looking awesome big time putting soon it will be time for harvest time
Harvest or golf??!?
Eric - With regards to cow comfort, have you noticed a lower temperature in the barn with the solar panels on it?
We have noticed minimal difference
With how their barn roof is setup most of the roof heat would never make it deeper into the barn.
Always a complete pleasure to watch your wholesome videos. Good work always shines bright!
Ah .... crop tours???
YES PLEASE !!!
And THANK YOU so much for getting true farm condtions out into the public view!!! Missing the work!
FarmerMJ
awesome video Eric. Thank you
Keep them coming brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
I used to have a dairy farm in Scotland before I retired to France. I really enjoy your videos and the new technology. Your crops are looking good
Eric, The crop of Corn field look good. Good news about the preperration being made for the paving project. I am happy for you.
Claude
Beautiful looking corn and soy beans. Great video. God Bless.
I like seeing the fields
Great Video, Good to see the renovations for the drainage and tracks going well, thanks for sharing
Wow, when you’re finished making all these capital improvements, you’ll really have an even more efficient operation ✅
THANK YOU YOUNG MAN FOR THE POWERFUL CREATING AND PRESENTATION 😅😊😅😊🎉🎉❤
Crops look great. Always nice to see!

We really like the crop shots
Getting closer to the auto feeder becoming a reality, good luck. Thanks and have a good weekend!
Love the scouting! Great progress.
Great video as always. You sure never run out of work of some kind that has to be done.♥
Life is polar opposite of a farmer. That’ll change soon though.
Eric are you completely over being sick. Hope you had a great 4th.
Yes I am
Your crops are looking a lot better than ours in East Tennessee. We’ve not had rain in almost 5 weeks. It’s not going to be a good year for our silage this year.
Love this channel
:45 Interesting? You kidding? Nice photography. Totally took me back to playing in my uncle's corn field - and that was about 55 years ago.
113 degrees yesterday where I am. Stay cool!
Y’all must have a lot of iron in your wells too. Here in South Central Va. we have a lot of dissolved in our well water. It look clear but after a while you’ll have reddish stains appear on solid surfaces.
This one viewer loves seeing the growth of the fields too.
Your welcome to send some of that sunshine 🌞 to the UK Eric ,it’s not made much of an appearance this summer 🌦️
Eric your videos are addictive. I just started watching about 2 weeks ago and I have trouble turning them off. There's another young farmer like yourself a young skinny blonde boy but he doesn't make working on a dairy farm half as interesting as you do.

I know I enjoy the crop scouting. So interesting to see the huge changes in the plants! Also thought heel warts/strawberries were technically ulcers?
Farming a small produce farm over here in Berks County. Hot as hell bro!! Good luck with everything!
We got the rain in Ephrata
Nice we got some good rains this week too
I'd love to see the baler that makes those huge bales in action!
I’m watching this while doing hay myself
was lookin forward to this
another great video!!
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for another sweet video
Can't believe we are becoming an automated system now!! Wow!! We are in the FUTURE NOW
Pretty soon, he can be a keyboard warrior, controlling all his devices and cows from a man cave in his home basement😂
We love your content! 🏴 xx
Thanks
Hopefully, you are getting rain. God bless. ❤❤❤❤
pls take some of our rain! we are being hammered up here in the prairies.
Great video and I love the crop update
That Kubota puts in almost as many hours in as you do! How many years have you had that now? Seems like l remember you guys buying it? 🤔
that buildup on your filter is a mix of oxidized iron and a mineral called vermiculite.
VERY PROUD OF Y'ALL 😅😊🎉🎉❤
Here in the Chicago area we would want that water back so that we could treat it and use it for drinking water
Great video. Hope yall got some rain.
water is a must for farming, in Idaho the government took the water away from farmers on 500k acres they had already planted
How many square bales duo you shred to fill your bin ? How much duo you use in silage feed ? Do you guys use molasses in your silage feed while you ground silage?
Eric that looks like hard lime on the filter . We had the same problem it’s called hard water lime build up . We put bleach down in our well quit a lot of bleach.But depends on how deep your well is 1 gallon for every foot.
Great video as always
❤ ERIC ❤
Great video…..
🇺🇸🇨🇱👋
Houston Texas
Great videos. Florida Joe
All good!
I didn’t see anyone taking the strings off the bales?

Another great video!
Would have been nice to have a video camera on our ring drive unloaders, would have saved a lot of hassle!
GREAT VIDEO
Do you ever get rocks in the feed from using the skid steer to fill ?
great video
That there is iron!
+1 crop scouting
YES, KEEP GIVING UPDATE ON CROP PROGRESS...😅😊😅😊🎉❤
Keep up bud
Bro m big follower
reminder: don't forget to order more water filters
Is the door missing from the JD tractor?
Do they take the string off the bales before chopping it or is it a special string? or just so little it has no effect on the feed? Just wondering, baling twine is my best friend, never go anywhere without it or second best cable ties.
Eric? Haven’t seen chocolate ear of corn from the fields lately! Wassup?
i like your videos
Have you thought about giving your dad a camera full time and create him his own channel. It would be cool it do a ride along on one of your cows during a milking cycle like cows eye view
