The 2nd best sunset in our country. Next to Port Elgin in Ontario. Yep just chripping, QDM is a great educator, I ensure my kidz watch each family video. Respect and thanks.
The great-grandkids love this series! The way their eyes light up! When they see how everything we do on the farm, connects together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Plus, how that tiny grain of oats ends up as the nutritious food that they see in their breakfast bowl, every morning. Enjoy each and every one of your videos. Well done!
I love oats!! ❤ And especially baking with oats! Apple crisp, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal muffins, etc, etc! Thanks for growing them for us! 😊
Living in the Philippines now I can't thank you enough for some wonderful Canadiana. You have become a national icon Dick and it is much appreciated your wit. THank you for the great education on Canadian farming techniques.
Thanks for all the hard work the farmers of Saskatchewan and across the rest of the country do each and every day to keep us fed. I truly appreciate the dedication carried by generations of farmers.
The square bale section of the video brought back many good memories of harvest for me. City people of all ages should spend some time working on a farm. Maybe Canada would be the better for it. Thanks Quick Dick.
You are doing good work QDMD. I wholeheartedly agree that THIS MATERIAL is what should be taught in schools. Let’s petition our ministers of education . Lots of luck on that!(Ontario)
I’d imagine that anyone who has stacked a lot (I’ve only helped friends a few times), … that they must have hit absolutely ridiculously high Tetris scores growing up. Or maybe they didn’t… because they were outside working instead of playing on a Nintendo. Thanks for the video. It was an excellent idea for a series. Cheers.
Oh, does that bring back memories. Hauling small square bales and stacking them in barns was how my buddies and me made money in high school back in the early 70's.
I did the small square bales as well...but never got paid for it. Lol. One of the thrills I remember was the sound of a baling hook slamming into a bale of hay...just missing my ear!!
Me and me buddies did it for a couple summers too, that would've been around 2010 though. It was always a good time, even though it was hot and dirty 😅
you know your videos are exactly what people across the globe need to see along with the other farmers and ranchers across the globe ....... with out you folks .we will not survive .cheers buddy from one sask boy to another
Wheat straw is the best, and the most absorbent for cattle bedding. It stays a lot dryer, and last longer. Loving your videos, you represent Saskatchewan in a way that makes us all very proud. Keep up the good work.!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of your videos found its way to me via RUclips's algorithm and now I can't stop watching. Your videos are superb! Well made, some fun for kids, some fun for adults, some educational and informative, and all fun to watch. Thanks for making them and sharing! Also, my (late) dad was a Dick.
This should be in the schools, and probably in the bigger cities, when hauling grain wagons I’ve gotten a lot of fingers from car drivers on the way to the grain station, if they only new, thanks great job.
God bless the farmers! Thanks for your time educating us about some of the details of how complex farming is, the skills required to be efficient/productive and why we should be even more appreciative of farmers.
Love your videos. It has been a long time since I was a Wisconsin, USA farm boy, but I remember doing small square bales using a baler not that different from the MF. I was surprised to see them going on the ground and even more surprised that they were picked up by hand. I expected to see a mechanical loader of some sort. 😀
I to was a Wisconsin farm boy also we upgraded from a late 1950's early 1960's McCormick 45 baler to a brand new 1974 John Deere 336 kick baler, Dad recently sold the 336. I would be willing to bet it had 100k bales through it. In fact that Baler paid for my first year or more of technical college. Dad let me use it to do my own custom baling the summer before collage I bought standing hay cut & baled it then filled the barn mostly by myself and then sold it off as needed to pay the tuition. I also worked for the canning company cutting peas @ 16 & 17 years old I had 6 + years of self propelled haybine experience by then. And pea season was between 1st and 2nd crop hay cutting so dad didn't mind me doing my own thing Dad had a full time factory job by day and in his off time cash crop farmed the 120 acre home farm and then rented a 80 acre farm when i turned 8 or 9 because I was getting old enough to help. So hay cutting/ turning/ raking was my job when School let out in early june. My mother's job was Baler (hay boss) between the 45 Baler and the 336 i would would bet she baled 100K bales she probably had as much seat time on the Minneapolis Moline 670 gas as dad and I did. Dad quit renting the 80 when i went of to technical college. After Tech college and during my apprenticeship Dad and I came close to pursuing 200 acres of land on halves. Dad was going to be the silent partner because if mom found out he bought more farm land she would have strung him up by the nutts. My new bride would not have been very happy about it either she grew up on a farm that had very tough times. Well i came close to following in the farm footsteps.
Appreciate the way you represent the Saskatchewan people! That work hard from -40c to over +40c 365 days a year and none of us would change it! LOL it's good for the brain pan! Cheers Bro!🙂🤝🏼✌🏼
Once we switched our farm from “small square bales” to round bales, we started referring to the old bales as “torcher cubes” cause compared to just using a loader and stacking the shed full of rounds, thats what the squares feel like hahaha great video!
Great flick. Ya forgot to tell them about itchy oat straw after sweating for a few hours of tossing bales.😂😂 miss them days. Very little oats gets raised around me in north central Ohio anymore
All that automation we have now but still have to load and stack the bales of hay by hand. I was a young and strong man back in the 60's now old and retired LOL.
l love these videos about farm life lt brings me back to my youth on my grandparent's farm. We did all the same things showed in these videos. The only difference is that Quick Dick's equipment is newer and he's got more land, judging by the number of grain storage bins he has.
Farming. A very rewarding way to make a living. You brought muscle twinges when you were baling the straw back to my bones. All the best for a good growing season. One day you will see somebody waving back at you if I ever see you as I pass by Foam Lake or Tufnell on the way to the mine. Cheers.
Excellent video, I almost miss stacking small squares for my Dad, but that was many moons ago. Or riding the bale elevator up to the top of the stack...ahhh good farm safety in the 70`s!!
Unpredictable , that's our Canadian weather fer ya . Just like the people , huh ? Another great video to help keep us smi educated in what it takes to feed the masses world wide . Gotta love a freshly washed and cleaned Blue Ball . Thanks to your efforts Quick , I do have a better understanding of some of the processes of farming , however , you haven't shown the how or when your wild oats are sown . Tell BMA I says hi . Catch ya later , I hope .
Thanks once again for another entertaining and educational video. Always interested in seeing how things work in our AG community. More people should pay attention! Looking forward to the next one! Cheers from Ontario!
Greetings from the Okanagan once more, thanks for another video. We happened to be in Regina last week for family where we caught the tail end of that winter whiteout. Saw the first Jackrabbits and Hungarian Partridge that I'd seen in years on the fields by the airport! Lots of Jackrabbits in town by Wascana Lake too. Best to you all this spring QDM.
I designed the controls for a similar system for a coffee roaster shop in Vermont. We actually did three complete new roasting plants for a known international coffee company that makes those little cups 😊
As a former Saskatchewanite I can relate very well to your oats journey. I bought those oats in the elevator for 10 years before moving to HO for another 30 years where I billed those oat railcars to the different terminals. Greetings from Vancouver Island QDM. 🇨🇦
Man when you think about it them oat really travel around before it gets to your table .most people don't even know what it takes to get to there table.i love making and using square bails ,except when the bailer doesn't tie .lol take care Quick.
Love your stuff! Thanks for all the work you put in on both these videos and your farm. The education you are giving people is invaluable! You're showing the reality of getting food to people's tables. And the Gov wants to stop you from producing at optimum levels? What total BS!!
Great video! Great to see Deeres old/ new generation tractors being used and a 379 Pete. I live south so I never tugged a super b. Just as a side note. You mentioned round bales. Unfortunately here in my neck of the ag world they outlawed round bales. They said cows weren't getting a square meal😂. Sorry had to share a stupid joke with you!!. How ever I wouldn't put it past our government down here. Keep up the great work and I enjoy your videos!!!
Thank you! Always love your videos. You forgot to mention that the manure from the cows in the straw helps to fertilize the fields (seems obvious, but...). Thank you and a big hug from the Manitoba, Interlake
Interesting to see how some things are adapted in one area and not another we haven't picked a small square bale out of the field in 50 years, unless of course the guy running the baler missed the wagon. Most everyone in my area uses a bale kicker and that tosses the bales into a wagon. Most of that hay is for the horse market.
Dan W: Pretty much the same here in SW Michigan. A shortage of reliable and willing hands made kicker balers, round and big square balers a common sighting around us. And yes, those beloved* horses are the primary reason we keep the square baler with the old faithful #40 kicker on hand! Straw is nice to have in small squares, but we haven't put in oats or wheat in years so we buy our straw. Bless'ns to ya, Tedd
@@sawsurgeon I'm in south east Michigan. We used have dairy cows in stanchions. Square bale hay was the only way to feed them in the winter when the cows were in. We planted oats with our hay seedings. We harvest the oats and baled off the straw. We also had a large flock of sheep and fed the oats to them.
@@danw6014 : Great to hear from you neighbor! It’s becoming a small world, funny that it took a character from Foam Lake to introduce us. Bless’ns to ya, Tedd
Lots of work! Hard work! U wouldnt see me doing any of that...too many broken bones in my life..but im coming back this year! Kayaking, biking and hiking! Woohoo!!
even as old as I am I could be able to do some of the work. you don't make it like it's not work and anybody who is thinking of farming as a fun life never had to work for all they have. work never hurt anyone unless ya are doing it wrong keep rolling on and I'll be watching 👀 😎 😊
Can't say I've worked lots with oats. But barley.... It's hard to describe the sheer itchiness of unloading a bin of barley. Its a bust out the duct tape and wear long sleeves kinda day.
The best farming education ever. Thanks Quick Dick!
Thanks for all you do quick dick!
The 2nd best sunset in our country. Next to Port Elgin in Ontario. Yep just chripping, QDM is a great educator, I ensure my kidz watch each family video. Respect and thanks.
Lots need to learn from theses videos

The Goat of Oats. Thanks for nourishing a nation with food, hard work and comedy.
Quick Dick - many thanks. Real work by good hard working folk who keep us all fed. These videos should be part of school curriculum.
The shit they teach you now is bullshit. I learn tones from these videos and nothing from school
Love seeing the 4020 and 5020 still working makes my heart warm! Thanks for farming y’all are feeding the world. Need more appreciation
Great tractors
I was thinking the same thing 😅 kinda cool to see the old girls still hard at it
I love oats!! ❤ And especially baking with oats! Apple crisp, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal muffins, etc, etc! Thanks for growing them for us! 😊
Oh, apple crisp. I have a ton of apples and I was not thinking about crisp, good idea.
A good way to start May watch a QDM video!
Excellent content. Truly well made.
Thanks so much!
God bless the families affected so glad no one was injured.
This is what needs to be taught in 🇨🇦 schools! Great footage, editing and narration! In other words education. Thanks Quick Dick. ❤️✌️🙏🌎
Living in the Philippines now I can't thank you enough for some wonderful Canadiana. You have become a national icon Dick and it is much appreciated your wit.
THank you for the great education on Canadian farming techniques.
Interesting that so many people watch from interesting places
There's also Brad on "Discover Connections".
He is Canadiana.
Thanks for all the hard work the farmers of Saskatchewan and across the rest of the country do each and every day to keep us fed. I truly appreciate the dedication carried by generations of farmers.
Amazing. So grateful you are sharing.
Hall & Oats 🤣
Heh heh - we listen to Haul & Oats while haulin oats ;)
The square bale section of the video brought back many good memories of harvest for me.
City people of all ages should spend some time working on a farm. Maybe Canada would be the better for it.
Thanks Quick Dick.
Oat-standing video QDM ... keep em coming.
I see what you did there ;)
Love it
Thank you for the refresher, been a few decades since I helped on the farm. Good times when one looks back.
More from the east need to watch your educational videos. Well done QDM 👏
You are doing good work QDMD. I wholeheartedly agree that THIS MATERIAL is what should be taught in schools. Let’s petition our ministers of education . Lots of luck on that!(Ontario)
I’d imagine that anyone who has stacked a lot (I’ve only helped friends a few times), … that they must have hit absolutely ridiculously high Tetris scores growing up. Or maybe they didn’t… because they were outside working instead of playing on a Nintendo. Thanks for the video. It was an excellent idea for a series. Cheers.
What a fabulous way to start my week. A QDM video!!! Thank you Sir for all you do💓

Really appreciate the education. Farmers are the life blood of the nation.
I find it disgusting what the Government is doing against Farming.
you know your videos are exactly what people across the globe need to see along with the other farmers and ranchers across the globe ....... with out you folks .we will not survive .cheers buddy from one sask boy to another

Great conclusion to the story of Oats. What would the world do without Canadian Farmers!
Nate
Thank you love these videos as a Canadian being educated about this has been awsom

Great video. Glad these are classroom usable. Lots of great stuff to share with kids.
Yes!!
Great flick. Ya forgot to tell them about itchy oat straw after sweating for a few hours of tossing bales.😂😂 miss them days. Very little oats gets raised around me in north central Ohio anymore
Not one Hall and Oats reference, pun or sound over? A lost opportunity! Love your videos. Thanks so much for doing them.
Great video! Smooth shifting😊 and what a great feeling when the knotter keeps knotting!😂
Everyone loves a successful knot!
Thanks Quick Dick always pleased to see your videos Best wishes from England.
Thanks so much!
His audience is so diverse
The production quality is top notch! I love seeing the videos from back home in SK, now that I'm in exile at the east coast. Some day I'll return.
All that automation we have now but still have to load and stack the bales of hay by hand. I was a young and strong man back in the 60's now old and retired LOL.
Love hearing about new QuikDick videos. Thanks buddy. Excellent show
Enjoy your day McDick. Some of us with Scottish back ancestry were referred to as oatmeal savages. Keep it coming.
l love these videos about farm life lt brings me back to my youth on my grandparent's farm. We did all the same things showed in these videos. The only difference is that Quick Dick's equipment is newer and he's got more land, judging by the number of grain storage bins he has.

I used to listen to hall and oats music back in high-school in the early 80s 😂😂
What an awesome video. Educational. Entertaining. A lot of interest & movement. Great filming & editing. Well done!
Finally a real farmer on RUclips who is actually farming and not running a farming cosplay channel
Love that aerial footage with good tunes.

Haulin Oats ... Great Band
You are a cute kid, & so smart I love you & your family.

MANDAKO got a new spokesman I’d say👌👍👍
Got to love the old school baling equipment.
This is true Canadian content that Bill C11 can’t deny.
Harrowing experience. Farm humour. Seems you are outstanding in your field. Ohhhhhhh
Great video! Last time I was at a elevator was in 1971 in Kinistino. Things have changed!

We are definitely going to need more videos from you I know you're busy but would be nice to hear from you at least once a week
I’m trying my friend
Great quality videos ans content
Much appreciated
What a cool process!
Good sir, your production quality and educational value is highly respected in my books.
Awesome shots with Blueball 👍
As always it’s been a hoot …..bravo..
Nice drone footage!
Thx!
Love your videos keep them coming.... very educational ..... have a good day...🐞🐞🐞🐞
