William is so much help to you and the farm
He’s a Godsend!!!
😇
yes he is
I suggest that William build a bench seat at the rear of the corn wagon so he and Brenda can ride around the field instead of walking. A step at the rear would also be helpful so Brenda doesn't slip getting in. Little things make a difference! I 've had to balance standing up on hay wagons as a boy to know it is tiring and isn't easy. Legs ache at the end of the day with muscles that don't get used as often.
If a bench was put in at the back of the wagon-they’d be getting Beaned El Royale with corn cobs-Yikes!!!
Maybe more toward the front of the wagon-at the sides???
😇
🙏🏻
William appears to be really good help!!!! Tell him I’m impressed!!!! His father should be proud!!!!
😊 great video this morning,,,we needed this as we plug along in our daily setbacks or discouraging momemts,,you folks always lift our smiles , we take a moment and thank God for ya all..
Thanks Sue!
Some good words
Jim is so calm even with the breakdowns
Jim is SO Patient!!!
Sometimes if it isn’t One thing, it’s Another...
Ugh.
⚪️
😕
Story of his life.
you got that right!
Yes, it is but it's all done now!
YAY!!!
⚪️
😃
what a beautiful old machine Jim's corn picker is.
Yes, it is
Thank you Jim Brenda and William. That rain this summer sure made the corn grow.❤❤❤.
A
Unfortunately these breakdowns happen with very old machinery, but they keep getting fixed which is a good thing!
Finally the sun comes out at 33:25 minutes in, to shine on the corn harvest.
Beautiful scene of the horses pulling the corn picker through the sunny field .😊👍👍
Thank you Brenda & Jim for another beautiful video that my husband & I both thoroughly enjoyed 💕
Glad you enjoyed it
Bill and Ken... "Oh, look! Corn snacks! Yum!" Hard work, harvesting. Thank you for sharing it with us. Well done, William, Jim and Brenda.
Morning!!!
Your shirt is nice, Brenda-that shade of blue does a lot for you!!!
Mother Nature ‘pulled a fast one’ on us Up North here, last night...We had a freeze warning out and got snow instead-still on the ground a bit...
We’ll live, lol...But I now believe my earlier instincts were correct about an early Winter!!!
😇❄️
Yes the ground is covered here too
Listen to the leaves rustling, I love your red ,white and blue this morning..Have I ever seen him use 3 horses? I can't remember , Man that carpet of leaves is just beautiful.lov from south alabama.
It’s good you have William.where else can you find someone with horse experience other then the Amish.he a blessing for Jim and Brenda and I bet your glad you have him.stay safe from Canada
Yes, we are glad to have him!
Yes Canada is a mess .
@@ceciliavondehn4402 Was passiert gerade in Kanada? Welches Chaos?
Canada is a mess. 2nights ago was Halloween .3 little tricksters ( 1 fairy princess 1 superman and 1 witch ) . That was all . 10 yrs ago we would get 150 children ( trick or treat) .Yes Canada is a mess .😊😊😊
@@uteschneider3349 Chaos is Justin Trudeau !
Looks like Bill is eating some corn. Awesome way to start the day with you guys and the horses.
Yes, he bit the cob right in half. Thanks for watching!
Is there anything in particular that horses shouldn't eat while out in the fields?
Thank you Jim, Brenda,& William, for the great video,& having me down on the farm,& in the woods again! GOD,BLESS, Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada.P.S. Jim, the corn sure did grow this year!.
Yes, it got very tall this year
Jim thanks for your good comments. You always have something good to say
Well I found out real fast what that next task would be
It made me to turn the calender on the 1 of november and there they are…harvesting the corn ! Best wisjes to all of you !
Yes, have a great November!
Good crop of corn that never seemed like would never yellow.
Gonna be good feed!!
Can you please tell me which 3 horses were used for the corn hauler? I thought Ken, Lady, and Bill!
That's right! Bill is on the inside row, Ken is middle, and Lady on the outside of row!
@@territn8871 tks!
Good to see the “oldsters” all working together again
I really enjoyed the corn picking! It brought back a lot of memories. We have a New Idea two row picker that we pulled with a old John Deere tractor about 15-20 years ago. I remember riding the gravity wagon with the kids. As we rode along we'd shuck the ears that didn't get shucked by the picker. It was a lot of simple fun.
That's a nice term....simple fun
that is such a cool picker
Thank you Jim for taking the time to explain your farm issues and how they are solved. Thank you Brenda for the filming. Thank you William. Yes William is being paid but also learning and lunch supplied for William and his horse Randy or Junior.Gotta love that old machinery because its paid for. Bye
What a lovely positive comment . Charlie.😊
Just love your videos. So thankful that Jim hired William. He really is an asset on the farm with ALL the different tasks, but he is also gaining valuable knowledge and lessons for when he runs his own farm and team. A winning combo.
I reckon its a tossup as to who is learning what from whom. William is learning Jim's ways, while Jim is surely picking up some Amish ways. They are great workers.
Yes, we are thankful to have him!
Ist William der junge Nachbar, der mit seiner Schwester eine kleine Farm hat? Den Jim und Brenda in einem Video mal besucht und geholfen haben? Die Schwester lief barfuß, ohne Schuhe?
Entschuldigung, ich habe es nicht mitbekommen, woher William kam. Wahrscheinlich habe ich ein Video verpasst.
Ich finde auch, William sieht wo die Arbeit ist. Er denkt mit. Er ist wirklich ein sehr guter Arbeiter, konzentriert und ruhig.
Such a lot going on. William is a hard worker, an asset to have. Thank you for the video.
Sure is fun to watch. Amazing what Jim can put together and make it work. Yes a sit is needed for Brenda and William
Harvesting is a busy time on the farm. William is such a good help for you, Jim.
Always interesting. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
The corn picker is awesome except when it bogs down. William did a fine job bringing the horses and load of wood out! You all certainly have had a lot of rain this year. If all that moisture keeps up this winter, you're going to have lots of snow. The winter forecast for Tennessee is below normal temperatures with above normal moisture. So that means we may be in for a lot of snow here in Tennessee too. Hoping they're wrong. I don't like cold and especially don't like snow.
Time will tell! We got some snow today
Love seeing the harvest come in!!!
Bonnie wants to know the corn huskier removes the corn and what happens to the rest of the plant. / I’m a city girl so I have no ideal.
Either it gets tilled in or harvested like straw or fodder for the cattle.
Work never ends on the farm. I am sure that you welcome Williams help. It looks like he can do what you ask of him. The team pulling the the picker look great but I think Jim that you should be wearing ear protection sitting on top of the motor because it is loud. I worked on corn picking heads on Massey Ferguson combines it was fanacating to watch them work. Thanks again for the video well done love it. God bless and keep safe
Yes, they are quite the machines!
Go huskers!
Jim Brenda and William it was great seeing you all work together to get the corn harvest. 🌽... God sent you and Brenda a blessing in William to help you on the farm. You are so calm Jim when you have a breakdown and move right along and fix the issues. It was beautiful to see the sun come to finish the corn picking. God bless you Jim and Brenda along with William 🙏❤
Like your corn picker.
some of the still shots from this video in the afternoon once the sun came out better make next year's calendar wow just amazing
🧐another day on the farm, touch woods , enjoyed Three horses husking corn 🤭 culling herd , Jim/ Brenda 👍👀
Rolls of hay 😊
Hopefully your harvesting is going well great video
PG here, Wow Wild, Corn, Logs, and cows! Wide variety. Getting machinery working too! A lot on your plate and the rain doesn't make it any easier. Thank you William you are a major help. What a difference. I'd be pulling my hair out! God provides the help you need when you need it! Thank God for the extra set of hands. Even when horses were going forward harvesting the corn William continued to secure the railing of the corn bed. until the job was complete.
your corn picker was made in Coldwater Ohio. New Idea started around the turn of the century, bought out by the white co, and the closed New Idea in 2000
It’s such a treat to watch and learn about your farm life !! 👍🙏😎
Glad you enjoy it!
Good video
We used a New Idea picker also 3 row😊
👍
fun to watch the corn picking
glad you enjoyed it!
In the old days they sure made some interesting machinery, eg the bale chucker and the corn elevator, both neatly designed to knock you over or bonk you on the head. Jim also seems to spend a lot of time fixing things as old bits wear out. Story of his life I guess, takes it all in his stride.
My all time favourite channel, thanks Jim and Brenda. Greetings from Australia.
Haha, that's true! Thanks Louise!
Agreed
Hi Brenda, hi Jim, nice video. It is hard work for the horses, also having the noise.
32:26 - nice calf !!
I am glad you and Jim have William to help you... such a lot of work for you both!! So interesting to see how a farm like this works, especially with the beautiful horses... love it! thank you for sharing. Three horses hitched up today-- so cool. How the heck does that machine strip the stocks and leaves and leave just the cobs?
Jim, isn't great to have reliable, hard working, willing Amish neighbors who know the horses and farm routines well? Greta vid, and keep well.
Jim thank you and your family for these great videos I love it and I love horses keep up the good work and the videos thank you Harold Dotson
Glad you enjoy them Harold!
So good to see the corn harvest finally! The corn picker seems to be a big machine, no wonder that you used three horses to pull. My corn will need one or two more weeks to dry down a little bit. Only rainy weather lately. Have a great and successful rest of the week, Jim, Brenda and William! 😊 -Chris
Great video. Would love an explanation of how the corn picker works. Must be nice to have a helper (aside from Brenda, but she has her own set of jobs!)
Beautiful corn harvest, this video just takes me to a relaxing place.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello from Wisconsin! Good team work by all! Just wondering how much rain have you had this year? In 1992 we had a new roof put on the house, and in 1993 we had 20" of rain that summer. Rained 11 out of 12 weekends, and were we glad to have the roof on! Blessings to all †
Ran our farm for 25 years with Herfords, only we used vintage tractors and equipment much like you use. Enjoyed it all ,but didn't make much money. Thankfully we were otherwise employed. Don't know how you and your wife do it. So many irons in the fire at once. Guess maybe that doesn't give you a lot of time to contemplate that ! Your videos really take me back. I would have loved to use the horses , but that would have been just too much to do.
wow so much information and always something to do on the farm! impressive video, thanks for sharing
We can all learn about patience & a positive outlook from these videos!
Things break. I'm very happy you have a harvest this year. Beats having to let the cattle have it like last season. Good luck with the repairs
I'm exhausted from watching you work! From Jim's perspective driving the 3 horses harvesting the corn, which horse is to the left of KEN and which is to the right? Thanks!
Glad you both are able to get some good help. Some of my earliest memories on the farm are of riding in the wagon while picking corn.
Another informative video! The corn is beautiful! So are the woods! It must be nice to have William around...two sets of hands are always good, especially when working/fixing machinery! You've really had alot of rain! But, that is a good thing! 🙃
Nice work everyone. It’s always an education watching this channel!
Breakdowns kept the blacksmith busy in the old days! I have a covered tool wagon with most of the tools I'd need to make field repairs, along with a Miller Bluestar welder and oxy acetylene torches. If I'm on a long term away job the wagon is at camp.
That tongue is a pretty chintzy looking hack job for working in the bush. Heavier tube for heavier work.
I just ordered a side of beef today, ready by the 22nd he says. My cows would rattle the window panes at weaning time lol! Maybe someday I will be able to get back into cattle, but not for a few years.
Maybe add a riding step on back of wagon?
Great video !
👍👍
I've never seen corn being harvested before..thank you for educating me. Hope your machinery difficulties are over for the foreseeable. Brenda, saw you in Abbie's video cycling along beside the cart and videoing...it looked fun. At this side of the Atlantic our weather is as unpredictable and as wet as yours.
Getting ready for winter. Love watching Jim working the corn
So nice to see the horse contributing to the all natural fertilizer application as they pull the corn picker! Do you ever run the spreader over the fields when you've picked the crops?
Great job, team!!! I've been waiting all day to get home and watch !
Really nice vlog. Of all the things you do with the horses, watching you pick corn is my favorite thing. Thank you.
nice job brenda. I saw that ear of corn go on the ground and saw you toss it back into the wagon. nice job!!!
Jim y are you using the horses to pull the corn picker and not your tractor?
Because we have the horses to use and they could use the work
At least all the rain you got this year made some really nice corn.
You need a bull that can service more than ten cows. Horses will out number the cows soon. One row picker and a wagon two boards deep has to make the day go slow
Bull is not the issue. Breeding cycle just out , of timing for those 2 cows .Jim's only got 3 acres of cob corn to pick so his method of harvesting works great for him . Was probably done in 2 days even with the rain delays .😊😊😊
You must be getting really tired of wet fields. Enjoyed the video. Thanks I can smell the dry corn stalks. This time of year goes way too fast.
thats what you call a full day been there
Yep
😊
That's quite a big field to be picked with horse-drawn machinery, but as one can see it can be done- by the way much more cheaply than with a combine. Of course, it still requires the shelling. And also, it's a much more picturesque scene, and that also is important for human happiness.
As a kid we picked 12 acres by hand, it's not that bad when you have youth on your side and a few people helping.. break it up and do a few acres at a time..
Bendiciones bonita labor del campo 🙏🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜😅😅😅
always wondered how that was done and now i know i will see the odd foeld plandred in something else and the odd corn plant has come up i tell my husband my kind of corn maze at least i would find my way out lol
thanks for sharing always find it interesting on watching your videos
Thanks for watching, yes it would be pretty easy to get out of this corn maze!
I never got my calendar yet Jim from PEI Canada
That will be tough shoveling the corn off the wagon.
Always enjoy your videos, and love the horses.❤
New Idea best corn picker ever made.
never saw that before- so interesting
The horses in the cornfield with that beautiful blue sky... oh my! Are you going to turn the cattle into the corn field once it is picked, so they can eat the stalks? I'm really curious about the layout of that barn, and what the different areas were actually built for. I'm guessing the shed that the horses are in must have been for heifers or something? I can see there is a feed bunk facing the opposite way of what the horses are facing now. That would not have been a convenient place to milk, unless the barn had an actual milk parlor. Is that blue room where the cows and calves are a bullpen, or was it a place to raise bottle calves? That must have been a really large dairy operation in its day.
I suggested this on another channel and I was obliged. Would you put your wedding picture or two in one video. Smiles B
Watching your other videos I have understood that the verbal cues for the horses are critical to being able to drive them. This makes me wonder how you're able to effectively direct the horses when there's the loud motor running just by you. Do you yell and do the horses understand that or do you use non-verbal cues instead?
Everything is coming together. Good luck in synchronizing your cattle breeding. Don’t remember seeing your herd bull. Do you rent or buy your bulls? Thank you for sharing. 🐴🐴🐴
Hi, from Brunswick, Maine, US.
Hi and thanks for watching!
The OPEN area underneath Jim's seat on the cart where he puts his feet and the Motor and belts / fly wheels underneath and close behind. Also the open gear box spinning the corn out.. looks to me like an accident waiting to happen..
Good o get crops in before the snow
I noticed you added some side boards to the left side as i did see a few get over that side.
I just love your videos ❤
Your videos certainly make my day. Again all of you are extremely hard workers do you take Balance of Nature? 😉
Is it because the field is to wet?
no it had a worn out part that needed to be replaced
Большое спасибо
