Homestead Shop Talk is a weekly audio podcast hosted by Jason Contreras (@sowtheland), Ben Hollar (@thehollarhomestead) and Al Lumnah (@lumnahacres). Three dudes with different homesteads talking about homestead life, content creation, growing a homestead and building a life worth living for. Thanks for listening! #homesteadshoptalkpodcast
The talk on electric fencing reminded me of a Will Rogers quote. “There are 3 kinds of men: the ones who learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence & find out for themselves.”
LOL!!! 👍 I got my long hair entangled in ours one time watering the horses! Yikes! I will never forget it! ⚡ Electrifying ⚡
Crap, now we have to check the pigs for depression? 😊
Al your beard and hair look fine
Agree. Dashing and debonair.
Jason I love the mini truck!! I look for it in every video. I told my sons I am getting one. It looks fun to drive. I still think it needs a custom paint job or wrap, Sow the Land and hippie flowers. I also loved seeing Penelope driving it. She did great!
When the cow licks Brutus its the cutest darn thing. That rates right up there with Buggy yelling GROW at the new starts.
Enjoy your shop talk so much...learn so much...have 4 acres that we "homestead"... no animals, but our land provides our income...turned an old body shop into a storage facility and camper, boat and storage unit area...take care of the land...tree pruning, grass cutting and and general maintenance. Have a large garden and it provides us with lots of lovely food. Am a 71 year old female, and am always looking and listening for ways to make this job easier. We are blessed with good tenants and have seasons like you do...summer, busy and winter down time. Raised four son's and this lovely chat is very satisfying...had thoughts of chickens...May take the plunge! Take care...so enjoy your adventures!!! 🍃💟🍃
I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!
Yay! Thank you!
I agree
100%!!!!
Absolutely! This one went by so fast
💯
What I really appreciate is the deep kindness that comes through you all as you do life. You are all great guys and I appreciate your love for your families.
Love you guys, haven't missed one episode since you started. I also sub to all 3 of your YT vlogs so this is just an added bonus to add to my favorite homesteaders families and your life experiences is the only way to live life in my opinion. TY and don't stop what you are doing.
Pig roast!!!! Jason, you are a hoot! Nothing wrong with little pigs, mini truck, and mini bucket machine!!! Al, nothing wrong with your hair or beard!!! Aging is a part of life and you guys are all doing it well!!!! The only thing Jason needs is a little tractor of his own!!!!
Jason, I'll never get tired of your smile. Poster boy for perfect teeth! &&& WHITE. Beautiful!
Such a nice guy. Love his smile. He and Lorraine are a perfect couple.
Hi, Al, Ben, and Jason! I always enjoy watching your shoptalk videos. I will NEVER post negative comments on this channel or on your individual channels. My mother always told me if you can’t think of something positive to say you should keep your thoughts to yourself.
A lot more births at a full moon. I'm planning on staying home and not going out. It probably won't be anything in Alabama. When I was a little girl there was a solar eclipse and they said the next one would be in 2024. My mother said I would be 64. I was thinking that it so far away and I couldn't imagine being that old. And here it is. I am 64😊
Oh I definitely understand how you feel. Just turned 70 and I keep thinking WOW how did it happen so soon 😂
My daughter was due may 7 but she was 13 days late and the nurses and doctors said the baby was waiting for the full moon and that is what happened.
I just love watching you guys shoot the bull! I watch all three of you on UTube !! So great seeing you bond!! You each have a great sense of humor and it always come through in your conversations!! Carry on and God Bless you and yours!!😊😊❤
I’ve been watching Al for a long time now. My daughter was watching first and told me about it. I think Al was building a barn from a kit. She started when Al bought some goats from someone she watched in Arizona.
Jason....you're the ''Good Humor Man'' for your pigs 🤠''oink hear that truck...it's the goodie guy OINK!''
Al, your gray beard is fine, those dimples are GREAT!!!
Look forward to seeing ya each friday, so much fun and I laugh when ya laugh. It easy to follow alone cause I have watched your videos. Jason I want to SEE those babies piglets....ASAP...Tks again guys. Until next friday.
Have any of you seen a bump to your channels since this podcast started?
The stronger your ground, the better your fence.
When we made the second from the bottom wire ground, it took a bit of set up, but we doubled the hit our fence gave, especially when we had snow.
Monday 3pm in SE MICHIGAN
Is the BIG E.
PARTLY CLOUDY.
Full moon, we'd
Pick up the weirdest strangest people in the ambulances 🚑
I truly enjoy each FRIDAY SHOPTALK AND YOUR FAMILY VLOGS
THANK YOU.
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU.
LOVE LAUGHING WITH YOU, GUYS...CIAO
Speaking of full moons, as a retired teacher, we also saw that the kids were a little wired at that time of the month. And I love all of your beards. All different. I noticed that Jason is all trimmed up. Love these videos. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know that the three of you weren’t sitting together around a fire. 🌹❤️NJ
Hey guys. Great podcast. Please try not to let those negative nellies get to you. You all do such positive things what with the way you treat your animals, grow your food and care for the land. In a world of disasters, crime and negative news, you provide us with positivity and hope. THANK YOU!!
Fun video! When all of you brought out your knives, I was rolling! Then Al's prostate report had me howling! QUESTION: Al, will these fences have any defense against the wildlife in your area?
A foot of snow on my lawn this morning…no mowing here.☹️
Oh, Al, I'm in Maine, and I feel your mud seasons pain.
I've been watching all three of you guys since y'all started your own RUclips channel. I think it's pretty cool what you're doing together on this podcast and look forward to it every week. I love the animal segments the most probably except I realized it's watching the family work and grow together. I mean Ben and Meg saved their family and grew it larger and closer together buggy is so precious..
Jason you have come such a long way with your health journey. Thanks to the good Lord.
Al you've come along way from that dominecker rooster in the apple orchard and building the chicken tractor videos to what y'all are building on the new land.
So I think it's all of you with love for your family that keeps me watching y'all's videos because our society has gotten so far from family values. We just can't get that on TV anymore because it doesn't sell there and that's sad.
So keep up the good work and God bless you all
You all, it IS cool to be kind! Pigs are SMART! You all are awesome humans!
I appreciate all you go through. You gave saved me so much time and money. I learn something new every week. All of you have so many ways of approaching your different projects ❤
You guys are all awesome! I look forward to the podcast every week.
I really enjoy your non-topic episodes! It seems like the conversation flows more smoothly and it’s more relaxed. In this video, you covered a wide variety of topics, from tools, to eclipses, to “just blood, no fingers”, to improving pasture, to pigs and chickens, etc. I found it all interesting, and often amusing. You held my attention for the full hour, and left me wanting more! Great job!
I am about one whole universe away from being a homesteader, why do I love listening to this podcast and consume way too much time watching RUclips homestead type videos? Why do I long for chickens and goats and gardening? Anybody else out there questioning whether this lifestyle is possibly for you but practically speaking will never be you, but then back to the maybes? Anyway, loved today’s podcast guys, thanks!🫶
Love these Podcasts..........good information, good company and good guys with the know of the reality of so many subjects. Keep it up guys, it really helps and is very interesting!
Have a great week!
Loving how they give each other hints and tricks.
Great thing!!! After the podcast, l get to read comments. Sooo fun!❤❤❤
Al, Jason and Ben-I hate to tell you boys but I’m an FNP and bloodwork does not replace the digital exam. They go together as a diagnostic tool. I had patients that had normal PSA tests but on exam I found cancer. Please do both!
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Another great podcast Al, Ben, and Jason, really enjoy watching you all.
Have a blessed week. God bless!!!💕💗💕
I actually enjoy the no topic podcasts over the ones with topics. Y’all Rock! 🤘🏻
I like 'em all...a BUNCH! They make me feel like I'm sitting in a room with 3 friends.
Another great podcast from 3 of my favorite homestead homies! Love you guys! 💖
💯
Ben, your fence noise always makes me think of Henry Cho's friend - "What's that clickin' noise?!"
We are in the path, SW Indiana.
Look forward to the film of the eclipse, also your observations of what the animals do. Varied conversation. It is great to eavesdrop. 💕💕🌻🌻
I'm in AZ, I't's hot here, but a dry heat, no bugs. Air conditioned house, to office, to hospital, to pool. No biggie! I love it. ❤️
I am also in AZ. But cold and snowy in the mountains 😂
Good morning Al, Ben and Jason.
Mornin’
I was the fourth generation on our farm. My great grandfather and my grandfather harvested wheat with a 20 horse hitch. I have a photo of it from the early 1900s, but can't post photos here. Quite impressive.
The podcast was so good I laughed so hard when y'all started really telling the stories it was great.Thank y'all for another good one see ya on your next videos.stay safe
100 agree with Ben on the new mower blade.Last year i got new blades and hit a tree stump bent the blade and shut it down.The stump is low to the ground mowed over it 100 times and bam!
Thanks Guys.
You Tube is definitely a thing. I don’t even have cable, it’s a full meal deal watching things I like. No Joke I love it.
home steading might not be their thing but its a way to see family hugsssssss
The lower humidity of Bakersfield makes summers better, but when it’s 78 at sunrise you know the afternoon will just cook ya. 🔥
great video
The Arc, wow! that's quite the model, being a magnacut blade! Same Locking tech as the P series, so that why it seems similar to Bens! I still like having the the P2 with scissors on the outside, but that's just me!
We're in the path of totality this time. And they are warning to get extra cash out of the bank and avoid the highways. Ive got out glasses and filters for our phones. We're in Germantown, Ohio
I appreciate a man who couldn’t care less about style and vanity. Take your hat off again Al!
Good evening everyone.
We are a huge fan of Leatherman at this house! All my guys use them. They actually have 2 or 3 each because (if you didnt know) then they always have one while the broke one is being warrantied! Leatherman warranties the tools! So awesome!
Come to south central Tennessee, Ethridge and watch the Amish do it... they use mules. This is mule County... literally. It's where it started where the country came to trade mules and horses but mostly mules. Columbia TN
Gotta let them nuts drop !Great job guys, love them and keep these videos coming 👍
Al you are your own boss. You do what you want when you want. I like watching Lumna Acres. I started watching Sow the Land for a while now. I just havent sen Bens channel much.
The leatherman arc is awesome Al, congrats haha - so useful around the homestead!
When I was 18 I joined the Army and got bounced around to different places and ended up in the Sahara desert retrieving the remains of the crew of the B-24 airplane that went down in 1943 during World War Two (it was 1960 ) I had purchased a used camera and filmed the whole thing for the 30 days we were there. The Army had sent a 2 man filming crew down with us and what they filmed was crap out of focused my filming was perfect, wish there was You - Tube back then.
Can't wait to see a video of a pig doing backflips a la Ben's tale. Watching the one where the pig showed up at your door waiting for breakfast, Jason, cracks me up and is something out of a nursery tale; just can't remember the end of the story. Oh yeah, the barbeque ensues. "Barb le queue" = French for the whiskers (barbe) to the queue (the tail).
American Bresse Chickens. I'd love some (but I'm urban, not rural). Read up on them. Fascinating birds, good egg production and yummy meat.
Another reason I look forward to Fridays!
Here in south carolina (the upstate Greenville/Spartanburg) we had a total eclipse of the sun in 2017 and we had so many people here from out of town!!! It took me a while to drive home from work that day coz the roads were so full of out of towners. But according to Ryan Hall (a youtube weatherman) I think there is gonna be some kind of bad weather that day for some of the people in the path of the eclipse, so it may not be a viewable in those states with cloudy/bad weather. Thanks for the podcast guys. God loves you all. Jesus loves you all and died for you all. God bless you all, always.
The animals absolutely do react to an eclipse . It’s amazing. I was out in the countryside my last eclipse. It became black and you could hear a pin drop. Enjoy the eclipse.😎
Yes they do, roosters start crowing, the chickens head to bed. It's very strange.
Water is an electrical conductor so damp ground will be more effective for your earth conductor.
Small talk . . . usually has a lot of "laugh out louds" great video, cheers.
Another great podcast from the three of you. I look forward to each and everyone. I watch all three of you on all your individual videos as well.
Congratulations Jason on the birth of the new piglets. I was kind of hoping Jason you would say how much of the fence you are still having to do?
It is so great to see you all as friends helping one another through the homestead challenges of daily lives. I know I learn lots plus it takes me back through my life growing up all those years ago with my parents raising us up and understanding some of the struggles we went through.
Thanks so much for all each of your families do.
I look forward to next week. Wonderful !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I work for the Rail Road and NS gave the Shop all NS Leathermens. Then said we couldn't use at work. "We might cut ourselve"
😂😂😂
Al, your animals will not "act crazy" but they will act like it is time to bed down for the night and be very confused when it is daytime again in such a short time. Birds will roost, insects will go quiet, pretty much everything will be like dusk for a period of time.
I'm sure your family feels like they're spending time with you!! I feel like you're all family😊
Hello from Hot Springs…not enjoying this cold snap but enjoy listening to the podcast.
Jason, you have always warned by your batter dead fence. Don't complain when your pigs are out.
We live in the Finger Lakes of NY and we have a large Amish community around us so there are farmers who use oxen and draft horses to work the fields! Also a source of A2Milk and fresh eggs, meat, lots of farm stands and homemade products! Pig drama! Sounds better to just leave the boars alone until Elvira is are ready! Safer for all I involved! Funny video guys, thanks! Peace and blessings!
Laughing so hard about snorted my tea out my nose during the beard conversation. Must admit, wondered if all of you would shave them off for the summer. Would I recognize you? Sandi Brock, Sheeplishly Me (You Tube) got a comment that she should primp up more to keep her husband. WHAT! Sure, chiffon, stilettos and diamonds in the sheep barn, birthing lambs and shoveling manure. Maybe you men should consider tuxedos and top hats. Someone out there needs to get a life. Great video, lots of topics, lots of laughs. Thanks.
I think you guys awesome!!!!!! Keep up the great work 🎉
Anyone remember the winter where there was so much snow the animals just walked right OVER the fencing?
Anywaysss.. I've TOLD You all this before.. You are REALLY AWESOME, Beautiful People
👍😅❤
Enjoy these talks a lot.. haven’t missed a single one.. If Al hosts a chicken workshop will definitely go to that one..
all those onions come through Ben then pickle them and put away in jars for so many meals also red cabbage add mash and pork chops yummo
I love Shoptalk! So nice to understand homestead life at this level! I watch all three channels for several years now.
I didn't know I'd enjoy homesteading content, but I sure do. I have watched Al for about 3 years, and have been following Jason and Ben for about 6 months. And have watched all 41 of the podcasts. Keep up the great content.
Thanks 😊
Message for Al. You could use the drill attachment for your 'T posts'
Hey Gents, Yeah, Maine is getting crazy...the Hannaford Store is stocking extras in most departments and gas prices are going to the ceiling.
After our second mass snow storm in two weeks, we are going to have to spend some money getting some massive pine tree tops and hefty limbs chipped up. We got an estimate on taking down a 60+ ft pine tree next to driveway>>>>$5800!!!!
Ouch! I hope you can at least get some firewood out of it!
Spent 12 years at the beach in San Diego where it never got hot and never got cold. In the winter, we did wear long sleeve T shirts because, well, it was winter. But we still walked on the beach in sandals and shorts. We did have change of seasons: the wildfire season, followed by the mudslide season...
Thank you three I like when you get excited like over a jack knife like my teen age boys used to do. And the pig excursions so entertaining. Have a great week The build Ben is just so on hold we want to see the new addition NOT mad or mean or intrusive just anxious. Al you are a fine looking young man that lady is just trying to spruce you up. Now I am a great grand mom of 18 and grand mom of 17 and mom of 8 three boys so just saying we are trying to keep you all youthful. Lol so funny.
I used a 12 joule Galligar charger on my perimeter line. I ran several fences at any given time.
I used my fence as my ground, in addition to four 8' ground rods.
We had a strong fence.
I could always hear the fence with my hearing aids.
Get a drone that takes the camera out to where you want. Save time and steps. Have a tripod mounted to the bottom.
We have a farm show called Half Century Progress Show. When Max Armstrong was alive he did the announcements. I was able to demo a single hand plow with 2 mules. It’s very challenging to keep the plow straight. Sure makes us appreciate what we have now.
Love your Podcasts. Happy Day
I look forward to these posts each week. Thanks for the inspiration and being so grounded!
Seriously.. Al mows the rocks! 😂
🪨.
I was a 'snow bird' for many years.. so the best temps all around. I always missed the New England early spring blooms though. 🌼 🌸 🌷 🌷
Another great podcast. Love you guys. Jason, we need to see the baby pigs!!! I miss your videos.
Always fun from Ontario Canada
As always, highlight of the day watching your podcast. So much fun and always interesting!!!! 😍😍😍
Ben, When you ruin your brand new blades on a supposedly safe spot: this is Murphy's law at its best
Love you guys
I had a friend who worked as a "house parent" at a halfway house for young, male, juvenile offenders. He often had to call for backup whenever there was a full moon. It's definitely a thing.
Wow!
(Can you tell I'm stopping the video to make comments?) My mom's dad used to plow their garden with a mule. She said that the only time she heard my grandfather cuss was when she was bringing him lunch and came into the clearing where he was plowing and the mule had stopped and refused to budge. After trying everything, he hit the mule in the forehead with a hammer (sorry PETA people) and the mule took off, plowing up the ground as he went! My grandad called the mule a cussword, then he went and got it and was as kind to the mule as he could be. The two of them went right back to plowing as if nothing had happened.
Also, when I was younger, I went to the Goshenhoppen (sp?) Festival in Quaker country in PA. I got to watch a team of men harness up a team of 12 oxen!! It was the highlight of the trip!
One more, and then I'll quit. My mom used to say "H/She doesn't know from..." and I thought she followed that with, "Adam's aw fox." I found out many years later she was saying, "He doesn't know from Adam's off ox." She explained, "When you have two oxen in a team, only one of them has to be trained. The "off ox" didn't know come here from sic 'em (another old Texas saying.) It would pull with just as much strength as the trained ox, but it would go whichever way the trained ox would go. The commands were "Gee" and "Haw," for right and left. She figured that the saying "Adam's off ox" was the first and knew less than any of them.
