That is beautyfull soil. my soil here is sand loam and when I pick It up it crumbles like corn meal. I live on Manitoulin Island Ontario Canada so most farms are limestone bolders. with a shallow layer of soil.
You have some really nice soils in northern NY. On my place in the Sullivan Co Catskills you dig a hole and it's half rocks, they named the town right ROCKLAND. Anyway I can grow pretty nice garlic here. Wishing you a good crop and health.

Hi Jim, I just found your channel and subscribed to it, thank for the great horse video. I loved your daughters prayer for you at the horse pull. we visit our good friends often at Farney sawmill in Croghan NY are you in that area? it sure is beautiful country . keep the videos coming.
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Ive done some land clearing in the Ft Drum area, if I'm not mistaken the soil is called (Watson Sand) the topsoil would stick to the tracks and tires really bad, hard to keep the roads clean.
Could you explain sometime to us/me how many acres you farm and what you grow and why? Is this your full time job and is all this work just to keep your horses fed so you can do it all again? Or do you just love this way of life because there is of course much more efficient ways to do all this, but I notice you are in Amish country so is this how all your neighbors do it? Thanks fro a very impressed viewer
We grow mostly hay but also a small plot of corn ground each year. We have a herd of beef cows, and we sell beef locally. So we harvest hay for our livestock but then we also sell quite a bit of hay also. Our land is divided up between a large woodlot and fields. So time is divided up between harvesting from the woodlot and logging on other land and crop work, and it is Jim's full time job, and then some. We have chosen to live this way because it is what we want to do. We were doing this here before there were any Amish in our area. There are also very big farms in our area. Thanks for you questions and for watching our channel!
I am 70 yrs old and just LOVE the way this man farms--I have watched the amish and got tired of watching them -this man i could watch all the time
Thanks, we hope you keep watching!!
I am 90 and can't put this down I watch it a lot ..
Some pretty straight rows there Jim
hear i am again and i don't seem to mind watching you again-you folks are what a clot of people would like to be like- you are good people
March 28 is amazing for upstate New York. The ground is usually frozen
KathyArk just beautiful to see and be educated on farming with drafts so appreciative
Thanks for watching
Beautiful to watch as always Jim.
I got the White Horse 715 a couple years ago because of the leafspring and man, what a game changer!
Nice straight furrows .....
You must have GPS auto steer on those horses.....lol
Great videos. Keep them coming. I love everyone you have made.
Thanks for watching!
If you get the first line dead straight, then one horse walks in that furrow, how they keep it so neat. They know a lot more than a tractor does.
Love it.
Good learning lesson,,didn't know that
Please don't ever sell buck just because he's old,,we love them all
Some good looking furrows
Another good one Jim! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

It is nice soil here. It has a lot of clay in it.What crops are grown there?
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Most Manitoulin farms have cattle that are fed hay silage and grain. Our evil government has made farming an expensive hobby.

Thanks, you as well!
It's great to see what we call a reversible plough for horses, amazing to see, thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
You are very informative and helpful, thanks alot keep it up 🎉😊
sound of the earth, plow, horses and tack is enough
Great video👍
How deep are you plowing? Do you really need three horses for this plow?
Norin Räth I plow 6-8” deep. Sometimes I use two horses but with 3 I don’t have to rest them hardly at all.
Since you have 2 teams can you pull a 2 bottom plow.
Good job
How long can you work the horses before you have to rest them?
It varies, but the more you use them, the more you understand what their limitations are.

Nice work

We would disk our corn stubble in the spring but you do what works for you. You use horses for all farming? Corn picking? Hay baleing?
Ronald Feuerstein we use the horses for most of our farm work, but not baling or corn picking.
By the way I was watching your two team of horse pulling on your property you have two winning team of horses yeah
