    Wow, this was a real eye opener for me! I have always thought the farm looked neatly maintained and efficient,: but this tour shows the scale of operations, the investment and technology, but also the attention to detail and monitoring of health and production. If people look at all of this, stop bitching about the price of Milk. A credit to the family and staff.

    Great how your farm flows. A testament of your parents thinking ahead and adjusting as they expanded. I am sure if they started from scratch might shift a thing or two, but great flow.

    That's one very, very impressive set up you have. It is so professional! This is what purpose built farming enterprises look like when they're properly planned, invested in and, above all, properly managed.
    You are to be congratulated, and should feel justifiably proud.

    That's a really nice industrial complex operation. Impressive that you run it with mostly just the family. I wish more people watched your vids, they would better understand the complexity and costs of running a dairy farm and why the price of milk and milk products cost what they do.
    Time to start looking for a wife Jan, that farm is going to need some grandkids ;)

Many , many pieces to the puzzle , do you have more pictures of the beginning of the dairy , inside barn milking set up ? Your folks have put together a remarkable set up ! I would bet you kids started helping at a very young age , can you share that info ! This dairy is a remarkable piece of history ! Thank you all for taking us on this journey ! Stay safe , enjoy & have fun . Mom & dad must be very very proud of each of you , you all make this possible !!

    Thanks for another great video, it has been three years and it was a great refresher. Nice farm layout. I have often wondered how well the cows adapt to changes in their environment (moving from location to another) and how long does it takes to adapt/learn the routine in the new environment.

    We see bits and pieces of it every video but to do a full walk around all at once brings home how big of a complex it really is. Your parents with the help of you three, Brent and all you hired workers really have created something to be proud of. The fact that it is a family operation and not some big corporate creation speaks to the tenacity of Canadian farmers and their ability to provide a exceptional product for consumers everywhere. I bet 9 out of 10 city folk have no idea what goes into an ice cold glass of milk! Thanks for showing us though.

    Thanks so much, Jan and I commend your family for your superb effort and vision. You are great ambassadors for the dairy industry! You are too humble to mention this so I will for you! Yes, dairy farming requires a huge investment in land, equipment, buildings, animals and man power. However, that is only part of the story. Many people don't think about this part of the equation. An incredible amount of knowledge and highly diversified skills are required for (field/soil management, seeding/crop management, harvesting, handling/maintenance of machinery, feed testing/analysis, ration formulation, herd health, breeding selection, record keeping, milking/cleaning processes, financial management, etc, etc.) In addition, consistent responsibility is required to manage all the moving parts of the dairy farm 365 days per year. High quality dairy products would never find their way to the consumer's table without the execution of all these moving parts. Milk is the only food that comes without a protective covering. There are no shortcuts when it comes to managing dairy cows and their precious milk.
