    When I was young, my mom told me that rocks in the soil meant it was fertile and abundant in minerals. Your veggies and horses are beautiful so it must be true.

    I had always wondered why all the fields in Ireland have rock walls. Then I went over there and found out how rocky the soil is. They would clear the rocks and build walls with them. Love to watch the field work and that was great fun being on the rock picker!!!!

    Yay🎉 I’m so glad it’s Veggie Boys season. You always show us the cool jobs we really never get to see. It’s very relaxing to see your progress in the fields no matter the job. Thank you Joel for a awesomely satisfying rock picking video. Hope you take your camera to work more often 😂 now that you’ll be in the fields more. Time for you and Andrew to accidentally switch cameras again this season 🥰

    I had a friend, when I was a child, who loved to play with toy trucks and toy tractors. He had a whole fleet of them. His mom actually gave him a square of the garden where he tilled and scraped and landscaped to his hearts content. As a little girl who had no idea of why he was doing this, I thought he was just another crazy boy! But watching you and the veggie boys haul those big machines around, I get that it takes a lot of skill and experience. So Chris, here's to you and your little toy tractors!

    "We pretty much stop at five" - seems so nice. Taking care of his family meant Dad - as a sole proprieter, workforce, and decision maker - pretty much worked from early am until the milking was done in the evening, and later during silo filling time, etc. We kids helped, but we weren't the workforce you all are. Part of that was Dad's fault - he did NOT want us to follow him in farming, so he pushed us into sports and college. But he himself never quit; he is the only person I've ever met who really did work himself to death.

    How many years does it take to clear a field of the rocks? You'd think the fields would be cleared by now.. You should use some of those rocks to make a drainage area in the back field by the manure pile.

    Enjoyed the video! The rock picker seems to have a bias toward picking up more stuff on the driver's right side. Seems like you get more dirt & debris on that side. Wonder if there's something that needs adjusting at the front end? I grew up in the California central valley & picking up rocks was always there waiting for us. We had to pick up smaller rocks since we grew almonds & some machines got confused between small nuts & small rocks. Thank goodness we didn't have nearly as much rocky soil as you folks do!
