Amish Owners NEGLECTED This!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2023
- We purchased an Amish owned farm from a very nice family in June of 2022 and these pastures had been neglected for years and years. They had their horses and cows on it and never took them off for rest. Their livestock grazed on all the good stuff and left only the bad. But hey, years of neglect isn't all bad. It gives us a learning opportunity on how to completely change a landscape and bring it back to a healthier state.
Never apologize for how you spend your time. It's your most precious resource. Letting your viewers know you appreciate them says a lot, upload when you can. We watch at our convenience, film and edit at yours. We are all adults here with responsibilities, we understand.
Zach, don't feel like you have to be like other channels and 'teach' what you already know. It has been enjoyable watching you 'learn' new things on your journey. Keep up the great job!
Good to.have you back
I am so so happy to see a video. God bless you and Ashlyn
Probably don’t even notice it, but it’s so nice how when you’re talking, you always say “we“, and I know that you’re including Ashlyn in the thought process of everything you do, even though she might be at work when you’re filming or when you’re doing something. It really shows that you guys are a great team and that you value her as a partner. I honestly think that is the secret to a Long and happy marriage. 😊
He always makes sure I feel included in everything 🥹💗 I love that you noticed that!!!
Family always should come before RUclips. So glad you know it.. Love to watch your channel.
I came to say the same. Love the inclusivity, everyone plays their part.
You are doing such a great job 👍.
nice to see you again.
I hope you are having some lovely family time
You come across very very well, confident and personable. Excellent and thank you.
Yay another video! Totally understand you wanting to spend time with family when they're visiting instead of making videos. we do miss the videos when they're sparse but do understand at the same time and thankful for the videos when they do come. Can't believe it's a year already congratulations on the one year. Love seeing all the animals and how you take such great care of them as they live and grown on the farm. You've got such beautiful fall colours down there already! I'm about 6hrs north of you in Canada along the Great Lakes and don't have remotely that kind of colour yet.
U are making great use of ur farmland. Missed u.
Thanks for the Video
It's good to see that you have been able to put out a new video. Wonderful that the two of you are able to keep things in perspective being able to focus on yourselves and family which is probably the most important part of the journey. I'm really looking forward to seeing the RUclips channel become a greater success in the for the overall business plan for the farm. And I am going to continue to believe that if for now, as gain a better understanding of the lay of the land, and as you put the needed infrastructure in place this venture will ultimately be a huge manageable success making it so that if it is desired the two of you may be able to focus on the farm and homestead full-time. Thanks for sharing.
You are doing just fine. Your parents must be so proud of you. You have thought things through and have made so much progress. Well done.
Какие трудолюбивые молодые!! Благословление от Господа
We enjoy your videos - it's encouraging to know there are young people out there that want and see the value in the simple life.
Absolutely! There’s more of us out there then you would think!
Really enjoyed seeing how you manage your pastures
You, Ash & your farm animals are a joy to watch.... Take time enjoy your family. ❤
You'll never know everything, but keep up the good work. I appreciate your ambition. I'm glad you don't prioritize this channel over your family like many do

Hi Zach, great to have the Drone footage when setting up the fence and mowing the pasture they just left. Drone's take videos to the next level seeing everything from above. Looking forward to seeing what Rosie's calf looks like.
Great Job guys!😇!😇!

I'm new friend Billy I love watching your videos so keep making them like how you tell what you are doing so thank s
I have watched every single video and have enjoyed them so much. Really enjoy watching ya'll learn things and its motivating me to begin making steps to building my own homestead.
It's been wonderful watching all your videos. Just film when you can. It's alot of work to edit and take care of your daily to do's. One of my other favorites I follow puts out 1 video a week and sometimes takes a break to spend time with their kiddos. Finding balance is key. Do what feels right. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
It’s so good seeing you again!! I check everyday to see if you’ve posted anything!! Your farm is looking gorgeous!! And all the animals are happy!! That shows a good caretaker!! Can’t wait to see your home improvements too!!
Thank you so much!
oh god your music motivated me everytime god keep you safe and thanks a lot for sharing your healthy life with us.
Great to see another video. Absolutely loving those pigs. Pastures/fields are looking better. Keep uploading your videos at your leisure those regular viewers will wait patiently for your great informative videos. New ones will surely stay. Keep safe
Have you had much experience of farming before? It’s amazing how much you have achieved! 😊
Not until about 4 years ago!
Another great video Zach! Have you thought about overseeding the pasture with some grass?
absolutely! We will be doing a lot of seeding soon!
New subscriber here! Love your videos!
Welcome to the channel!
This video was so helpful. We are trying to figure out how to split up our property for grazing without expensive fencing. If you could do an in depth video of just how you set up this system maybe with drawings to help us follow where the cows go and the gates etc it would be so helpful. I think I understood what you were trying to explain but if you did drone shots with drawn in lines and how the cows get to the water each time that would be great. Thank you so much for really explaining everything you do and what you use and even where you got it sometimes. We are second year newbies to homesteading and all the info is so helpful!! We are also refugees from southern WA 😊
That’s awesome! I’ll try and get that in a video soon’
New subscriber. I appreciate your content and I understand how hard it can be to make content. Well done and be safe in everything you do!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel
I enjoy watching your videos , I think you’re doing a great job wth yr videos and yr farm , 👍🏻😊
Thank you!
@@ThePasturedHomestead Your welcome
Very interesting
Your building a beautiful well kept farm. Keep up the good work. Bless you.😊
Very enjoyable to watch your homesteading videos. A very smart, well thought out, methodical way to farm. Your farm is already successful and will continue to be with practices already implemented because of attention to detail to all aspects of farming life. How are your fruit trees. Will you plant more. Success to you both. Very educational.
our fruit trees are growing well! Yes, we will be planting many many trees for years to come!
Love the cows. I miss Kentucky!
Looks like your little oinks are growing into some bigger OINKS. Do your long term plans include a little herd of milkers? God bless, Russ
possibly! We will have to see how much milk we need. Im sure as we grow our family we will need more.
thx
You gotta unfold that roll cage on your tractor man. It's only decorational unless you actually use it. I love the channel, I'd hate for one of you to get hurt. That roll bar/cage is there for a reason.
hi Zack some have discovered that pumkin is a good dewormer for cows
🙏🧡
Can you send that equipment, to Indonesia??
Have you had any problems with the hawks grabbing your chickens? I live next to a dairy farm in NW Pennsylvania and he's having problems with this issue❤
Thanks for sharing your journey. I’m curious about the hot wire you’re using. The cows must be pretty respectful of the single wire. We have dexter cows and I’ve never tried hot wire but they are escape artists with any gap they find in our field fence. Is your energizer solar or tied into 120v source?
Thanks again for the insights.
We use a premier one solar energizer! Unhooking any paddocks that they aren’t in of course!
Such a nice and lovely couple you made me inspire to same thing back home❤ keep it guys
Enjoy watching your videos,
Did you end up running water to the other pastures further away? Might be a stupid question but do you water your grass/pastures with a sprinkle system?
We don’t have any water lines in the pastures. For now it doesn’t make financial sense for us! We don’t water our pastures
I think you need more cows. Should be rotating 30 to 45 days to see more benefits.
id have to disagree, if we left our cows on these 1/2 acre paddocks for 30-45 days they wouldn't have anything left to eat and the ground would show bare spots. What we are doing is working great for us!
@@ThePasturedHomestead I am saying you should be in a rotation where you start at A paddock and go to d and be back at A in 30 to 45 days. I think you miss understood what I was saying. Congratulations on all your accomplishments with your property.
what county do you live in if you don't care to tell me.
Hey hon, have your chickens follow behind your cows, they'll scratch out the cows dung and eat out the parasites, larva and cut down on your fly population. Just a suggestion.
The Amish community worked together to keep things neat but their numbers dwindled because Washington took their rights of doing things naturally away causing the land to be neglected. So they had no choice but to move so non-Amish could take the land to make the government happy. The owners now have nothing to be proud of that they are surviving because of the bad treatment of others.
English/American population grows anywhere between .30-.40% each year where as the Amish population is growing at 3% each year, that’s nearly 10x American population… I am however very aware of the FDA’s terrible raids and imprisonment on amish farmers who grow and sell natural products that have been used and proven to be safe for a very long time. If you have time, do research on Sam Girod. Wonderful man who was imprisoned for 6 years because of a salve.
My opinion on why this land was neglected was because of a lack of pride in the land itself. I see it frequently throughout this area of amish country. That’s not to say those families aren’t wonderful and caring people, they just aren’t motivated to improve the land they are on.
How would you like to eat off the ground
Disrespectful to the animals
How do you think animals eat in the wild? Pigs and chickens dig into the ground to find roots and bugs. If we feed our pigs in a dish they push it over onto the ground anyway. I don’t say this to be rude, I say this to help you understand.
Animals are NOT humans. They dont have the same feelings that humans do. Pigs and other animals dig and scratch and root on the ground to find bugs, roots and grass . That’s what they do naturally
