- in a hundred years ill be rotten in my grave. in a 100 years my children will most likely be rotting in there graves some of there children may well be dead as well. for me its what we do when we are here that makes all the difference. most people today only look at property as $$$ they can spend when they get there hands on it. sell it off live it up and die. I love my family even if they do not love me.i care about the legacy of my grandparents and I want it to live on even if I suffer to do it. sometimes its more important to preserve for others than it is to preserve for ones self. if there is a chance that William or Tim want to continue farming when I am dead I will work so that can happen. when I am done working the land at least I will know its not going to just be sold off to housing or warehousing or whatever it is that destroys the beauty of the aria that we live in. if in 100 years my family is no longer in possession of this farm. at the least it will be a farm where some other young kid with the dream of growing something or raising some of his/her own food. so they can live healthy and free from the shit they put into processed food products. it will be part of the preservation of a life that is being bought up by investors to Destroy when the price is high enough to sell it off as something nothing more than a one time crop of houses. anyway I love agriculture I love my life and I hope this will continue to be a farm long after I become the dust left over from the rotting decay of my bones.
As a fellow farmer who just lost his father I appreciate what you are doing. I will be doing everything in my power to keep every acre in my family’s name for as long as possible.
Very proud of you Wes. Glad you are keeping things as they are.
What a neat farm, congratulations on buying the family farm
Much respect Wes, I appreciate your perspective and values you stand for. As to Tim or William or anyone else taking it over you just never know who ends up with your same thoughts on the place. Hopefully one of the kids find that desire to keep it going.
Hopefully Tim and your little dude will carry on the legacy, and their kids as well, and leave the barn its beautiful.
Nice to see one more farm saved.
Glad to hear that you are keeping your families legacy alive. It was my dream to do that with my family’s farm but things out of my control have caused my family to sell some of the land, the dairy barn and just recently my grandparents house. Hopefully we can hold onto the last 100 acres 🤞
The World needs more such people!!!!
Wes That big barn looks a beautiful building , good look fr the future you're starting a new chapter
Hey Wes. So nice to hear that you will save that old farm! I personly really love those old barns and great to hear that the roof is in great condition.
I would love to see some cleanup videos in the futher. And please tell us what your plans kinda is if you find the money to do something with it.
We need less “development” and more preservation. All farm land needs to be preserved. And save what small farms we have left. Especially on the East Coast. Well done Wes.
Mad respect Wes. I lost my opportunity to preserve the family legacy due to the previous generation not planning ahead and selling everything off. Keep it going!!
That is a beautiful farm, been by there many times. I'm interested in seeing the ford tractor in the barn.
Congratulations on your purchase on this family farm it looks like the prefect place to have as you are the next in line custodian giving your family a future in farming and keeping the developer's at bay . May yew have the best of luck with it.😊
I'm from Ohio watch all your videos keep up the good work
I live in upstate NY. We are losing farm land at a record pace. If it's not housing developments its fields and fields of solar. It is forever gone.. I'm trying to keep all of my farm land in my family and trying to add to it as well...I hope my kids see the value in keeping the land and not just cashing in ..
Knowing your grandfather and how hard he worked, you deserve this farm and you will succeed as he did. 😮
If that barn cleaner motor still works, it would probably last longer than one of the new ones today.
There’s no doubt in my mind bud, that you’ll have that spread growing and harvesting…👊🏼
Thanks Wes for promoting preservation of Farm Land, and wanting to pass it on to the younger generations! 👍
Only wish my father would think along the same line of thinking. At 89 he still thinks Total control is his only way. NOT wanting to see it pass on down, and only thinking about the money end, he could receive from selling it. 😢
Gives a lot of hope for the future to hear 135 acres will be saved from development and continue in farming and your family. Farmland in the northeast gets more scarce each year
I understand and admire the way you think Wes
Happy Thanksgiving to you Wes and all of your family.
Great to see people who are trying to save and preserve and live the farm life.
It’s heartbreaking to watch productive farm land being sold off to build houses.
This is for you greta...🤣🤣 that was a good one!
Thats a beautiful old dairy barn, it would make an awesome house. It would be very expensive to remodel. Nothing worse than to see a family farm that has been in a family for at least for 100 years sold then turned into houses. We need to protect our fertile farm land.
Absolutely love that farmstead!!
All the respect on the world to you !! Being able to preserve rural property is so awesome
You are doing the right thing. Good to save history.
Congrats on purchasing and preserving the family farm.
I think you’re doing a great thing to keep America great and the farm lands where they’re supposed to be not housing developments
I hope everything goes well purchasing and preserving the farm. That’s an honorable thing to do. Can’t wait to see more on that and see those beans harvested.
I don’t often comment on things nowadays I just watch what I like to but just to say that you do right and what a beautiful property
That is a beautiful looking barn. Can we get a tour of it?
That's green energy, John Deere green!
Wes your head and heart is in the right place!! Beautiful barn!!
Wes, I would totally be doing what you're doing with that land. Some people just don't understand the true value of farm land, (monetary and historic).
When you do oats and clover in the spring, consider adding flax seed since flax increases microrhyzal fungus populations. Buckwheat is a good addition to that mix too (adds P and beneficial insects). Dutch white clover and berseem clover have the highest potential nitrogen fixing ability of the clovers so look for those when out shopping (over 200lbs N per acre). Find heirloom oats to get more biomas as modern ones are designed to be shorter. Fun comment about the tire needing less air because it was only flat on the bottom.
Truth is I want the real estate market to tank so the "progress" is slowed.
Barn like that, make an event center. Hire someone to run it and it will still make the farm payment
Very happy to hear that you're going to keep the farm I see farms down here being sold off and subdivisions going in it makes me sad
You found good words!
I couldn't agree more!
I absolutely share your thoughts!
What a beautiful old Farm. Congratulations on the new farm.
Good on ya Wes. Keep the fire going.
The building the beautiful I wish I knew better have a picture 30 years ago how they will look like
If you're family has any pictures of that farm in it's heyday could you include them in a video. Thanks that barn is awesome hope it stands forever
I think you’ve made the right decision. You have a great supportive wife behind you and has really become knowledgeable on farm management.
We moved because of DVRHS. Not just out of thr County but completely out of NJ. Been gone 6 months and my daughter is so much happier not to be bullied by all the rich spoiled kids there. Great video Wes. Glad to here your buying your grandparents homestead.
where did you move to?
@onelonleyfarmer Beautiful Monroe County PA. I'm nestled in the middle of corn fields, soybean fields and Vinyards. People are a lot nice here, and the school understands kids with disabilities.
The barn is 87 years old, and my dear dad would have been the same age if he was still here
We definitely need more people to preserve farm land!
Good luck with this wonderful project 👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦
Nothing like going back home to your roots and where you came from.
Make a museum, Bed and Breakfast, and farm market out of that place man. That property is absolutely a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Wow, you are one true down to earth person. Not many of us left out here in these days. It shows you have a good head on your shoulders and a heart of gold. Glad I found your channel because it is uplifting to watch your video content compared to others out there.
4960 in the house. Great Cold Dinasour Power for the WIN.
I agree with you 💯 about legacy...preserve your family's hard work that was passed down..awesome!😊
Right on Wes that’s Awesome what your doing keep pulling hard my friend thumbs up Cheers from Northern AB
You are doing the right thing. My father left our family farm to my brother, he got divorced and lost farm. I still think of when I used to run down to stables. My great grandparents bought it over 130 years ago and the history was part of me.
Very cool!
Yep, preserving family legacy is no cheap endeavor... but you know the history in and out and that's hard to put a price on it. It helps when both parties understand they have common ground, which can be rare. Even if Tim or William may or may not want it in the future, I think they probably will understand the importance of having land.
There's been land I've wanted to buy, but just couldn't afford it, but at least some of it was purchased by the right people who will do the right thing in the end.
It would be incredible to see you and theresa make that a family farm. Seeing that beautiful barn functioning again would be amazing! Not everyone has the opportunity to do what you are doing. Looking forward to what comes from the sale.
saving farm land from residential development is a fight that needs fighting keep up the good work
My Uncle and a team of Lawyers wrote the Laws behind the preservation. It is constitutional in NJ rock solid.
God bless you Wes for preserving it
Good job Wes!
👍👍 Those 2 silo's at 23:53 would make very nice apartments
Thanks for preserving farmland
I love old dairy farms, glad you are savin it.
Big thanks and props to you for doing this. Lots of places around me have fallen and those mcmansions and huge commercial properties.
I appreciate you wanting to preserve that nice piece of land for future generations by putting it into conservation. That seems to be the trend around where I live, and I like it. You're right, once sold, it's gone forever. Hopefully some of your kids can find the same appreciation that you do about it. I will probably do the same with the home farm on my end.
Good luck I wish you much success
Very happy for you and hope you make a video series on cleaning up and fixing up the new farm.
Good for you Wes! Beautiful piece of history. Can’t wait to see some more videos
Awesome! Congrats and glad to hear what you are doing! Unfortunately I don’t think I will be able to end up with anything of my grandparent’s farm but thankfully we have my wife’s (7th generation) beef and hay farm to have to enjoy our time on and kids someday. It is also locked into an easement/conservation deal that her grandpa did before he died
Very nice lookn land mr. Wes hope the best for your family
I used to hate getting stuck and love it all at the same time. Interesting to see the tractor sinking in the mud.
Good the air compressor did the job.
Love plowing it is just calming and cool to see what turns over.
Just curious if you have ever found any artifacts while plowing? I always had my eyes peeled.
Love the history of your farm and your grandparents too.
Jim in Chile.
i found a corm stone one time ........still have it ........asked about it as i did not know what it was for ......was told that it could be over 1000 years old .........!
@@georgedoorley5628 Cool. I found some iron a couple times but just pieces. Jim
Best thing about getting stuck is ............... getting UNstuck !
If that big barn was in the UK it would make a popular wedding reception venue.
Thank you Wes for preserving farmland?👍
Where I live in Wisconsin farmland all around me is being converted into housing!
Even in my back yard! Sickening!🤢
Not to mention the stupid solar farm soon to come!🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
You are awesome Wes thanks for sharing all the best to you guys.
Great Video Wes.
Love to see You want to keep the Farm in the family and preserve it ....
Way to go Wes looking forward to the progress
Wes was not expecting to hear you talk about Limerick power plant - I actually look directly at it when I stand on my back deck.
Hope your kids take over. None of mine want anything to do with ours & it breaks my wife & my hearts to think about it. Can’t blame them, its a long term struggle to stay ahead & most of my farming life we were 1 lost rented farm or blown up tractor from losing everything
Beautiful, fabulous thoughts and positive dreams . Grate video Good luck. All the best from Henry in the UK
You'll be ok buying that farm u have the drive to make it work
Get Tim to buy it , young farmer program low interest loan and he’s got time you help him pay for it??
Wes, you are an idealist with a great sense of history, rural life and family to name but a few, good luck for the future, and importantly you are very independent, keep it up mate, a true American, and that comes from an English man.
I’m not sure when you recorded this but I was thinking you and your dad already picked up the bean head and brought it home. Then I see it on your farm at the end. I wish you a good harvest. 👍
Proud to see you keeping things in the family and not letting beautiful land go to shit
That's great that you guys are preserving that farm. Hate to see houses taking over good farm land and heritage buildings that are preservable.
Great admiration for you Wes. Keep up the great work.
I applaud your efforts to preserve a part of the family farm and hope it is an enduring contract for the future. And hopefully not some greedy land developer/politicians finding a way to get around the rules for profit. It costs a fortune to restore/maintain old buildings. Here the land is mostly bid up by outside investors or other farmers to a price the young farmer can not hope to match. Then every trace of former owners buildings, trees, etc. is burned or buried and it becomes one big open field of nothing because the new operator can't afford to let an acre go to waste.
I 100% agree Wes, put anything on your mind and you can do anything. Great video Wes
Boy, I’d love to have that ground. The farm I grew up on, the original stone bank barn predates the civil war by almost 5 decades, as well as the stone farmhouse. I’m looking at almost 30k/acre on 85 tillable plus another 20 +/- acres in buildings/pasture/woods.
Glad you are preserving ! definitely not a Bad decision, Lost my chance in Nam when Grandpa died and the "Aunties Greed " set in !!
That barn really is beautiful.
Awesome second crop beans. Also, congrats on the purchase.
You are doing it for all the right reasons. So much land around me that i grew up on has been leveled and rebuilt. I get change is a constant, but some things are worth preserving. Dont let the evil of real estate developers taint that land.
I hope you can turn that place into somewhere we can visit and experience it. It would be a shame not to share it with the public. I would think people would be willing to contribute to save it. I know I would and I’m 1500 miles away. Good luck, you’re doing the right thing!!! Hope to see it in person sometime.
I believe in you man you keep going
