When I was a kid farmers paid me 5 cents for a ground squirrel tail. A box of .22 LR was 50 cents. If I placed my shots well, I could buy a year's supply of ammo in a couple months.
@@uncle_milk01 I lived on a farm. They were my neighbors. Granddad paid me a dime a tail so I'd get them all. Amazing how fast a kid with a .22 can wipe out a colony of ground squirrels.
When I was a little kid in Pennsylvania we had pastures surrounding our house and Dad taught me to shoot using a .22 rifle by taking me out to the fields to clear out the pests. The neighbors appreciated it, they didn't want their animals getting hurt stepping in a hole.
Yepp. 😂 10 - 12 yrs old and I'd spend the day and the local farms shooting ground hogs and squirrels. A few pesky pigeons now and then as well. Best way to grow up!!
I’m an electrical engineer and attended Colorado State, and there were quite a few engineering students who focused on agricultural issues. After watching you for several years I can honestly say that their work is extremely important! Many of the farm implements and tech like the Ag Bag we’re improved by engineers, and they make your life better (thus better for all of us). I’m in my 60s, and a bit older than your pop, yet you have taught me so much having grown up as a “city kid”. Your hard work and tenacity deserve great praise. Thank you Eric.
Yer right. Some folks need to get out of the way and into the city. Can you spearhead a pkan to help make that happen? These folks up hill have no trading places plans to get you into more fertile grounds out here.
This was a fantastic vid! Love the drone shots. So happy for you and your family getting moved into your new home! I also love all the great educational information. Every city dweller should watch farming/ranching channels so they understand, appreciate, and realize where their food’s coming from, the incredible amount of work and knowledge that’s required to feed their liberal stomachs!! Maybe they’d take a different view of you guys…
I agree! I also think it would be a great idea to have week long field trips for city kids to go live in/work at a farm and see what really goes on! Might just help! ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
What makes you think liberals / "city dwellers" don't appreciate farmers? Maybe you country folk should appreciate liberals and their "book learnin'" more. If it wasn't for them, things like triticale and modern herd management, fertilizers, and the tiny, cheap cameras used to film it all wouldn't exist.
@@belphag0r, To continue however, it was folks in the agricultural business that developed all of your mentioned developments, with the exception, I believe, of the tiny cheap cameras (made in China’s socialist state, who are also our enemies). Cameras I don’t really care about and doesn’t apply to this situation anyway. Everything that has been developed for the farming/ranching industry had its birth in the need to develop or improve an existing system that these folks were working/ familiar with. Most city dwellers don’t have a clue about the details of modern farming/ranching.
More food for a hungry world. Thanks for what you do 10th Gen. Every morning when I splash some milk in my coffee, I think of good people like you who make it happen.
Congratulations on the move. I know your wife and yourself are happy to finally moving into your new home. So glad for you and your family. May God Bless you and your family with many memories there.
Eric. My father was a farmer and he got frustrated with a ground hog once. The ground hog had two holes. He put a running weed mower over one hole and shot anhydrous down the other hole. Problem solved. I am not kidding.
Congratulations on moving in the your new home, couldn’t be happier for you. You work so hard it’s nice to see you and your family enjoy some of the benefits. God bless you all.
I must say you sure make great none stop action, great editing, and explaining what you are doing. Happy for you that you got moved in to your new home. Keep the videos coming thank you.
Love the drone shots. The farm looks amazing in the aerial shots and silo shots. Once again in every video we see hard work paying off. Thanks for sharing.
Great Video, Very interesting to see the harvest process from mowing to putting in the Ag Bag, well done on keeping the spreaders on the job the following day, thanks for sharing
Your new house looks great!, Congrats. No stress in a new home because everything works and with that,....better sleep at night. I wish my lawn grew like your Triticale, dang that is thick.
Another formative video Eric. A busy day on the farm. Fantastic stand of Triticale. I see why it put a smile on your face. Excited to see a video devoted to your move, & once your organized & settled in. I’m really happy for you & your family. Your wife must be e ecstatic.
It is great to see crops being harvested. Sure do not miss winter. Love the drone shits of the fields. A video chocked full of education too. Hope you settle into your new home fast. Thanks till next timer Eric.
Such a cool episode! I never realize how much yield there is, my mind couldn't comprehend 8 tons per acre! I grew up on 5 acres of forest and that seemed massive to me. So hundreds of acres and thousands of tons just blows my mind!
So much to love about this video! I really enjoy watching your silage guy and his crew, such a smooth operators. Groundhogs! It always seemed where ever we planted soybeans, it was like a big sign sent up with an arrow pointing to the all you can eat soybean buffet. It was always fascinating how they would eat in a big circle with the hole at the center and then how the beans would be taller the further out from the center you went as thy had to range farther for the good food. WE rented a farm down the road that was laid out in strips. The owners son worked for the soil conservation Service in our county. their farm had a good deal more slope to ie and the strips were long! We usually had alfalfa there. If the cutting was good, one round would fill the wagon with small square bales. While we did have a baler with a bale ejector, we never just kicked them into the wagon. We would let the baler toss them into the wagon and then "place them", less trips on the road back home. Best wishes and many blessings in your new home!

Eric, just starting to watch your channel. As a city folk in Los Angeles, your videos are mesmerizingly so interesting! I am hooked and have developed new appreciation whenever I shop for groceries, Sure is a lot of work. Thank you for making these videos.!
An action packed episode Eric. Loved it. The dirt bucket has payed itself off long ago eh. The spring harvest is a blessing and the new house all at the same time is kismet or karma or the rewards of your all efforts. Your family is an inspiration to work hard and smart. Cheers 🇨🇦
really really great and awesome video Eric and dad. I am very happy for you and your family getting to move into y'alls home. I bet it looks amazing inside. Thank you bud
Way back in the early sixties we had a problem with a groundhog in our alfalfa so some of the older boys took a five gallon can of gas and poured some in each hole and then we stood back and watched while one of the guys lit it. Now I don't remember seeing any groundhog, but it was an amazing display that I will never forget.😁😆🤣🤣
A+ Put a varmint cage with bait, next day carry out 10-22 ruger, plug it in the head, burry it in its hole, cover it up. I think when u change the mower blades, put some oil, w d 40 on the rusty nuts, and keep a can on u tractor for other rusty nuts,bolts.
I have an economy in Poland and it's all so different from how you run it at home I can't believe it, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I like how working in the economy looks like there
We had that issue with our New Holland center pivot you talked about when cutting the last row and bunching up on the ends. It’s a New Holland thing, once they upgraded to pottinger mowers they don’t bunch anymore. We also demoed a John Deere pull type disc bine and it also didn’t catch and bunch up. Like you said it’s the thick crops that can do it, cutting rye would always do it.
If you are doing any changes to your silo's i would recommend an extra one instead of higher walls, because corn can spoil fast and if your feeding speed isn't high enough, it will happen, so i would recommend just an extra silo, or make one longer
On our farm, growing up, we liked to do as you, ensile first crop. Reasoning: uncertain Spring weather for drying hay, and giving second crop a good chance by the later Spring showers providing needed water. Congrats on the triticale crop and the new house.
Wow that is real thick and green good crop. Doing good on your bagging silage . Thank for answering my question about adding on to the bunker to make more room.And understand can’t get it done for awhile yet.
Don’t see many ground hogs in the fields in west central Indiana,anymore. The coyotes cleared them out. There are plenty in the small towns,under houses and sheds. Same thing with cats and rabbits.
The Triticale was noticeably heavier than the rye, a person could tell by the video of cutting from the rye in comparison. The use of the bag for the silage is a good idea, given your situation. Liked the video, thanks Eric, have a great night!
Is the well you guys put in a year or two ago still keeping up ? Here in northeast Colorado, we already mowed our first round of rye. Thanks for the video and all your hard work to keep feeding America. God Bless!
When I was a kid farmers paid me 5 cents for a ground squirrel tail. A box of .22 LR was 50 cents. If I placed my shots well, I could buy a year's supply of ammo in a couple months.
That's cool. That must mean you had permission to be on their land, which is another good benefit.

few years back I subbed when you had like 5k subs. Wow almost at 500k. That's awesome and I hope you hit 1 mill soon. Great video btw.
More food for a hungry world. Thanks for what you do 10th Gen. Every morning when I splash some milk in my coffee, I think of good people like you who make it happen.

That must have been a real mess. Yikes. Did take care of the problem though.
😂 awesome

Excellent video Eric! Congratulations on your excellent harvest. Blessings for your family in your new house! Thanks for the video!
Its amazing that the metal detector picks up such a small piece of wire that fast!
Such a cool episode! I never realize how much yield there is, my mind couldn't comprehend 8 tons per acre! I grew up on 5 acres of forest and that seemed massive to me. So hundreds of acres and thousands of tons just blows my mind!

Great footage from up above. You guys live in a beautiful part of the USA. Amazing farm as well. Keep up the good work Eric.
Enjoyed the fly over shots with voice over spots explaining things.
Great video as always! I really like harvest time and watching the Massey Fergusons at work!
Enjoy that house young man. You sure have earned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is why I like to have extra hp, even if you don't need it. It's when you wish you had it, is when its really nice.
So glad you are in your new home. Good harvest with high yield. Nice video.

Fantastic drone footage to support the video!

Congratulations on your home. Great looking crops. Enjoyed the explanations of why you do things.
A+
Put a varmint cage with bait, next day carry out 10-22 ruger, plug it in the head, burry it in its hole, cover it up.
I think when u change the mower blades, put some oil, w d 40 on the rusty nuts, and keep a can on u tractor for other rusty nuts,bolts.
I love the looks of the fields from the drone.
Congratulations on your new home for you and your family.
I have an economy in Poland and it's all so different from how you run it at home I can't believe it, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I like how working in the economy looks like there

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!!
Beautiful video, awesome farm, perfect place for the house 🏠 love it
congrats on living in the new house now. by this time next month, it'll be HOME--but not without many refinements over the years!.
If you are doing any changes to your silo's i would recommend an extra one instead of higher walls, because corn can spoil fast and if your feeding speed isn't high enough, it will happen, so i would recommend just an extra silo, or make one longer
Another terrific video Eric.
Thanks Dairyman

Great job filming with the drone 😊
Looks good Eric 😊
Nice video as always ..loved the voice over man ..big thumbs up
Thank you very much for the nice video
Beautiful house.
Another awesome video
That's definitely a lot of feed glad to always have more I'm sure
Hey man! Saw one of your shirts on national tv. S13 E4 of the 7 Little Johnstons
Thanks young man!! Enjoy the new home!! 👍👍🙏
Great content Eric, glad to see your in your new house enjoy it.
ah some good behind the scenes information (for example how the row marker works when planting, and field strips). Thanks!
That trecale was really high yielding!
You can tell the chopper was working harder on that heavier crop
Wow that is real thick and green good crop. Doing good on your bagging silage . Thank for answering my question about adding on to the bunker to make more room.And understand can’t get it done for awhile yet.
Don’t see many ground hogs in the fields in west central Indiana,anymore. The coyotes cleared them out. There are plenty in the small towns,under houses and sheds. Same thing with cats and rabbits.
Agriculture is the backbone of most economies around the world.
Watching chopping is so satisfying. Very cool.
Very nice.
LIKE UR WORK A LOT A GREAT MOTIVATION
Appreciate your channel. I always found filling groundhog holes with liquid manure will forever keep them away!
The Triticale was noticeably heavier than the rye, a person could tell by the video of cutting from the rye in comparison. The use of the bag for the silage is a good idea, given your situation. Liked the video, thanks Eric, have a great night!
Thanks for the vid
Is the well you guys put in a year or two ago still keeping up ? Here in northeast Colorado, we already mowed our first round of rye. Thanks for the video and all your hard work to keep feeding America. God Bless!
Great vídeo
