Hey thanks for watching the video!
You gotta love how curious cows are. Anything new going on and they have to investigate. 😂
When i was younger made the mistake of bottle feeding a little heifer which in turn became a 20yr plus pet. Anytime i was in the field working on something you were guaranteed to have a nose poke by your side to see whats going on .😊
Jan , lets do hope 2024 will be a great year for you & your family , alot of positive things happening on this farm , family , sisters & all , enjoy , stay safe everyone , Rock on !
I am in Reading Pennsylvania a granddaughter of 2 farm families. I’m 77 and truly enjoy your informative videos. Been watching you since you started. Love your family.
Having 2 cows classifying as excellent on a herd of your size speaks volumes about the animal husbandry skills of your family.
Please pardon my ignorance, what does it mean when a cow classifies as excellent, I’m guessing something to do with milk production?
@@WhatWeDoChannel Better milk production, less risk of health and reproductive issues, and a longer productive life expectancy: ruclips.net/video/TNh0inQ5TIc/видео.html
@@WhatWeDoChannelCows are scored according to several morphological criteria ( under, legs,etc) and then given an overall score. An excellent cow is one with a score above 90 out 100.
@@samths2199 Thank you!
Can you give us some background on what Classifying Excellent means? Thanks Jan!
Evaluators come around about twice a year, and evaluate all the new milking cows. They take measurements and run them through a computer program. Mostly looking at the shape & construction of the udder. There are 5 grades, plus "Excellent". Less than 1% of the nearly 1 million Dairy cows in Canada get rated "Excellent". So having some on their farm is a great accomplishment.
SO GOOD to see you back, Yan. We were panicking!! Great change in the major weather system looks good for your farm. I am so impressed that you are really a brilliant young farmer. What ever needs doing, you just do what needs to be done. Wonder if you ever got those corrals cleaned out...and when you got new tires for that spread. But thanks for not being away too long. I know you are busy and making good videos like you do takes time. Good on you and your fine family
I want to thank you, Jan, for doing the video on Walker Farms, while you were here in Ontario. We've been able to find their product at a local Sobeys and we're enjoying it very much. Not because Walker Farms are fairly close to us, but because their milk is excellent. Thanks again for letting us know about that business.
Long time no see brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
I have been watching videos of Bureau of land management camping down that way. There are some nice reservoirs that are used for recreation by the campers. There’s a place called long-term visitor area on BLM land people go there in the winter and most of them are from the north and park their RVs there. It’s a super deal. Someday I may spend time down there in a van like when I retire.
Excellent!!
We wish you the best of luck, Jan. You deserve it for all of your hard work❤️👍
Congratulations on the two excellent cows and on this awesome wet spring.
Your knowledge of your farm is impressive
Outside your home, place a water bowl. Evaporate into the air it will. Make rain and many good crops.
I hope everything went well with planting.
Very interesting video as always thank you. I didn't know the seeds were that expensive wow!
Another great video! Really enjoyed the drone footage! Great job, thanks !!
Hey Jan, thank goodness you western guys are getting some moisture!!😊😊 I also follow welker and Mike Mitchell. All of you have had some difficult years and need a good harvest. Thanks for sharing your lives with us😊
Hello from in the Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Beautiful drone footage
I knew you were busy when you didn't have a post for a long time and doing the field work. Is everything up in price up there in Canada like it is down in the state? Higher fuel prices and for seed.
I’m hoping for good crops for all farmers. But yours is a little special.
Yes two cows scoring excellent is great makes it worth scoring cows just starting to plant today in northern Wisconsin May 10th
Awesome, Awesome Cow's 👌 Thank you! (Digger)
Sure hope you continue to get the needed rain this year so that you can have a magnificent yield. I can only imagine what your seed and fertilizer costs are and hope that you get the maximum benefit from all of it this year. Great job on the repairs. Thanks for a great video. Glad to see you back.
thx for your vid work…….you are a hard worker, Jan
Please show us your excellent cows
Great hack for moist fert in the bottom of the bin, throw 2 bags of cat litter in, works great!
Heard the killdeer in the background,spring is in the air !
We have a lot of killdeer here in north central WI
Wow I just looked up the price of canola seed I hope to the good weather lasts
glad to see that you are happy with moisture level up there. did you get the pit empty from manure?
Good information
Awesome video. Thank you
GOOD JOB!
Great start hope the rains continue through the year.
Cows are always curious about anything new or different 😊
Awesome! Can you show us the 2 Ex cows sometime?
Do the cows always go in the same stall in the barn.
Great start Jan, hope the crop is your biggest yet! Best wishes from Wales.
So impressed with your farm operation.
we will have food for the cows for sure!!! Thanks God
Hi I love watching your videos
I live on a farm to with jerseys
As always, an excellent video. Thank you 👍😊
Glad to see you guys getting rain, I hope you guys get some great crops and I’ll be looking forward to the next video
Sure nice to see some lush green fields this time of year. Also good to hear you have managed to get some seed in the ground during all this moisture. Now with some heat I am sure you will have some really good germination rates this season. Hopefully this rain also took control of some of the grasshopper from last year, perhaps the little buggers all drowned.🤞
Good video.
Hybrid Rye is not a GMO. It is created by breeding to different varieties of rye together creating a hybrid that can increase yield, seedling vigour, disease tolerance, ect
Thank you great video
Another great video man!!
Cows like watching you work.
Good thing you have a silo poker door....
very interesting video. Thank you!
Need to put a french drain in front of that shed to get rid of water
Thanks Jan for the interesting new episode. Have you studied Agricultural Sciences? You have so much knowledge that you impress me. Greetings from Puerto Rico. 👍
Good evening, I'm new to the channel and I'm enjoying the videos, I'm Brazilian and passionate about agriculture, I currently live in Portugal and I want to go to Canada. In Brazil this is a very profitable and enjoyable source of living. Is it very profitable in Canada and can you live solely from agriculture? Because you only have one harvest, unlike Brazil, where we can produce two per year. thanks for the videos! And sorry about my English, I'm trying to improve.
Yay your back
Have you looked into turning your hybrid into common by cleaning some of this years hybrid and shoving it back into a few acres.. might be an interesting test.. Much love and Thanks so much for Sharing
That’s one Wide sprayer!
Wow juat goes to show u how strong cows are dam 😮
I only use Canola Oil so maybe I get some of your Canola. I am in US so don’t know.
Is it possible to mix the 2 varieties together? The old one to establish the soil and the other one to give the production?
I wonder if this will help suppress fires it being wetter from more rain. That way the whole country doesn’t have to breathe in smoke and much of the USA doesn’t either I saw a red flag warning which is a fire watch for my area of Arizona. those were very common in the past, but this is the first time I’ve seen it this year.
Get er done😂
Hey Jan, what’s the point or value of having a classifier come to classify your herd? Thanks for the video!
You need to put up signs that says, no running in barn!!!!
Could u please go through your classification results
I think there is a 5 year weather/crop cycle in farming - 1 year is perfect, 1 year is complete crap, 3 year are acceptable not horrible but not amazing
Jan to the white cow-I know what you did last summer
Noice
I don't know about Canada but a 50 pound bag of canola seed is 50 bucks in the USA
It’s a series of % increases depends if you buy Roundup ready of Liberty link. In 2019 RR went up nearly 17% in Alberta. I’m sure Saskatchewan is close. So from 2018 to 2022 RR canola seed in Alberta went up per yr: 2018 4.37%, 2019 16.90%, 2020 8.40%, 2021 1.63% and 2022 6.71%.
Don’t forget our bags are metric I’m sorry but I could not find Canola for $50 a bag. PNW Farmers co op was the only price list I could find from the comparable year and farmer owned. There were 3 price levels. Bag prices (50#)cost by date purchased ( Dec and Jan 10) $640 and $660 and in season $695. Roundup was calculated and suggested seed rate as well.
With your rye, looks like the heirloom variety far surpasses the GMO unnatural strain, as its obviously acclimated to your climate. I'm not necessarily saying that all GMOs are shite and all heirloom crops are perfect as far as disease resistance, etc, but in this case it appears your common rye is the clear performer. At least at the moment. It's looking really good.
Great to hear your hybrid yields are that good. Some GMOs and hybrids just skeeve me out. Ha! My farm is so small comparatively I can get away with heirlooms.
How many total acres do you have planted with all you different crops.
They own 3,100 acres.
“Got me wetter than the water” …/sigh - weathered gray black stallion… flying high and proud - huh…excellent cows with an excellent farmer…poke it a bit; ‘nough said…emerald carpet; beautiful; the right time for it…lush and full, like lips…“Wadda ya doin’ spike? Huh, huh? Wadda ya doin’?...wrench...manus talk
If it can be broken a cow will figure out how to break it
it looks odd with only 1 green field in the whole area
2024 InVigor® hybrid canola $11.00 per pound
Doesnt drive over all the plants with dual tractor tires kill those plant? I know spraying is necessary but how m7ch do you lose due to death of plant by tractor?? Serious question . If a dumb question to you im sorry im just curious
The point of the dual tires is to spread the weight more, so the ground doesn't get as packed down and the plants are less damaged. The plants do get knocked down, but it's early in the year -- they can still grow back up yet -- they aren't dead.
1473 - “what! I’m innocent”. 😂🤣😅
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
.. wasn't that in the movie "The Godfather"...?? "Leave the alfalfa... Take the canola..."
Can't blame a cow usually breakages are caused by human mistakes
So when you run over the rye with heavy equipment it doesn't kill it????
It will spring right back at this stage. It’s very flexible or spring like and the stems won’t snap.
The rye is a nice green. It is a testament to the excellent growth and rain. I see that on other farms on other RUclips channels it’s really a pretty sight. I’m down in Arizona now in the area that is desert colors.
Okay, very interesting 😉👌
I'm in Arizona, 4 corners area, nice and cool here yet
@@alweiser6957 it is Tucson here. The heat to me isn’t bad yet. Nice and sunny
@ 9:49 .. this image could not get any closer to being fake than fake being real.. the clouds.. looks weird. lol
Jan please don't complain about the rain at all be thankful GOD BLESS
GOOD MORNING
I find it interesting that you speak in mostly metrics. However, your ton comment made me wonder if you were abducted 😂 by aliens for a moment.. I enjoy the channel
WTF is the classifier? Why does it matter?
A classifier is someone who comes to the farm and physically inspects the cows. It helps them determine how healthy and productive the cows will be throughout their lifetime. A quick overview: ruclips.net/video/TNh0inQ5TIc/видео.html
@@MellowYe77ow Thanks!
@@patrickaherne3598 You're welcome!
@@MellowYe77ow I watched the video. Looks like breed standard and protecting the genetics. TBH, I'd like to see some hybrid vigor, but my grandfather the dairy farmer was a wildman. Holsteins do pump out the milk, though.
I thought GMO ☠ products didn't need fertilizer ,pesticides or weed chemicals????? Dam shits so expensive and unnatural. 💀....
Might as well go common on all you crops environmentally better and safer for animals &humans ..
For the most part ....
Love your blog ❤❤👍👍🌞🍺
