52 years ago I bought my first farm and told my wife that we would never be bored because there's always something to do on a farm and now all these years later that is still true! Keep up the awesome work
Use a leaf blower to clean your air filters. You want air volume (cfm) over high pressure (psi). High pressure air can tear the paper element in the filter. Bad filter = engine damage. Engine damage = $$ & downtime. With a leaf blower you get all the dust out at once. It's faster than doing it with an air compressor and less likely to tear the paper.
"I really look forward to getting that wrapped up" at 1:05. Just don't run out of net wrap and you'll get it all wrapped up. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I never cease to be amazed at the enormity of your fields and the work invovled in making a single round bale of straw. 👍😎✌
jan you are so awesome and the videos are good too. be careful and don't break nothing this close to the end of harvesting. funny your dad was walking around the balers making sure you cleaned them well ennough. tell him you cleaned them, they are clean enough. I sure hope you are enjoying your new house. pictures showing you in makes it look like you do. take care.
Not much margin for error when it comes to dairy cows and upsetting their milk production.... Which baler do you like better? I love your channel- no green paint!
Some time ago I remember watching a video in which he mentioned that they buy a brand new feed mixer every year as it is so critical to their operation.
Hi, I admire your "safety first" policy when working on equipment. Wearing a mask in all of the dusty conditions you work in, would be a good safety practice to consider.
Why have you waited to sow the rye? My first sowing went in three weeks ago just before a rainy day, and the morning dew has kept it growing nicely. It is dripping wet each morning. Do you need a back up feeding system? Good thing that the grass hoppers have moved on but can they fly back in when there is a nice juicy rye lawn to munch on. You work too hard, you need a holiday.
I was wondering the other day when you made the video showing your TMR production if you had a back up feed wagon. I guess you answered my question. Good thing it was a fix that didn’t require much down time. You got yesterday’s Rye in the field with perfect timing. Safe to say it got watered in.🌧️🌧️🌧️
I always plant fall rye in my hay fields for my cows and it works great for feed. We usually just graze it because it would be a pain for us to chop it or silage bale it.
excellent rye seeds cultivation # but do U use Rye straw as forrage ????? straw has more than 90 % undigestable fiber & has no metabolic energy but it does decrease rumen acidity & help maintain blood PH # ❤️🇵🇰
Jan, you and your family are such a hardworking dairy family. But that's how dairy is. It is probably the most labor intensive of any farming operation. And there is never a day off either. It's a 24 hour 365 day per year occupation.
for batterie issue in feed pusher, if all looks ok but stops like that again I would guess static charge buildup, if has a ground wire check for dammage if no grounding wire/strap try using any wire touch to frame and ground may solve issue temperarily
You could get some of that plastic tubing for grease lines so you could move that grease fitting from under the baler to the side some place so it easier to grease. I think your cows thoughts where (we are guessing there's something not working for the feedind system.but could someone please push up the last of the feed so we can at least eat that)
Thanks for another great video. I like the way you speak over/and about your videos. You have the talent on videoing and cropping. I used to post on here for a short time and got pretty good at teaching my self. It got too demanding/travel/parking etc fuel.
On another video I saw your water system. You told that you have iron to get out. The system I recognized gets magnesium an calcium out first. If you are looking for more production and steadyness, start there.
Was shocked at how little straw there was, unless we were desperate my old boss would have said it wasn't worth baling and hauling, you guys do struggle for straw from the looks of things, I'm from UK.
I would love to see a compilation of cleaning off spraying off tractors and things. That would be cool. You are probably too busy to do that but just putting it out there!! Thanks for all you do.
Drone shots were absolutely amazing 👏🙌👌👌.......pure hard work, dedicated life.....and a professional farming work....... randomly encounter this video.....now definitely gonna watch all the videos.......so many things to learn from you dear friend.....thanks for sharing such informative videos.....🙏👍
1 of your bailers looks set up for silage bails. when straw is too dry is it possible to fill the inoculant tank w water and up the metering to help bails hold together? Probably dumb idea but i think worth asking lol
Big long beautiful fields with only a bump or two otherwise so nice and flat. Lot of farmers here in west central Minnesota, USA plant in the fall for harvest the following year. Where the two fields are connected, in the long run that will pay off with yield and I bet your father knows it. Great video.
Your beard grows fast. That means you are healthy. I like it the length you trim it to. When the food supply ends the locusts pick up and leave for new territory. They all go at the same time and will travel a long way. I think your fall wheat is safe.Great video. Pax.
Ferdinand thinks should back kick the Juuuunnno - whaaa -- *mouth agape* -- *blink* -- *blink*…uuuuhh, right - Ferdinand heads to bed - *sigh* in the barn - “So Lonely” Yes, are perfect… could swim in those pools for days…Sizzlean…”Feed me, Seymour!”…jewel-tones in the sun…Bono - good, maybe even comely…👍 dubs…yeah, I do *evil grin* 👍 Mirjam…would like to be named Dolly for a bit…no moon tonight?
We’re retired. My hubby was a licensed mechanic for over 40 years, maintenance is absolutely key to keeping any equipment for longevity and problem free😍😍😍😍❤️❤️our family farm is small 100 acres with 75 for hay it’s been my dad has always keep a cupboard full so my sister has tried to keep this going but yup in Ontario it’s been hit & miss the last few years 😞😞😞😞but working for it❤️❤️❤️
I want to be the one who gets to blow out the bailers with a pressure wand! Satisfaction😊😊😊😊. I also want to be the one who feeds the calves…….is this too much to ask🥰???lol
That's straw, not hay. It's used mainly for bedding the pack barn, corrals, (When it rains, or snows) and some of the calf barns. As well as filler in their TMR feed. They make small square bales of straw and hay for the goats and horses. They also feed small square bales of straw to some of their calves.
Glad to see the baling is done! It's fun when it starts and a big relief when it is done. I was wondering, forgive me if I'm wrong, but since your soil is sandy isn't it counterproductive to bed the cattle with sand just to haul it out onto already sandy soil.
Another great video. terrific drone shots of the seeding! thanks
Farmers work hard one day then work harder the next day. Thank God for farmers.
Very well put ❤
Amen to that.
As a daughter of a farmer who kept great care of his machinery, I applaud you and your dad in following a strict maintenance regime.
Good to see the increase in moisture, farmers need to catch a break with their crops!
52 years ago I bought my first farm and told my wife that we would never be bored because there's always something to do on a farm and now all these years later that is still true! Keep up the awesome work
Yes always something to do and even with all the new technology that just makes our job easier, there's still always something to do.
12:05 mark That is one impressive tractor. Awesome drone shots!!!
Miriam is so cute :)

I missed that sublet joke. Good catch! Jan has a good sense of humour.
Thanks for the update! Looking forward to seeing bales come home!
Miriam's silent smile and eyes seem to say something YOU LISTENING JAN?
👍👌❤️🇨🇦, and the video marathon continues, how gr8 is that, just awesome
Hi 👋
I really enjoy following your channel, never miss an episode.
You & your fam really seem to have it dialled in. Thanks for sharing😊👍🏻
super…..always,Rob
I love those old Case tractors!
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜🌽😁
great video Jan. Sure hope y'all get all of these bails rolled off the farmers feild. Thank you guys
Your leaf blower would clean those balers off so much quicker for ya 😉
You'll be glad to know that the new series of NH doesn't have the grease zercs underneath. They changed the pickup.
Thanks. Looking forward to tomorrow!!!
I’m tired just watching the video 🥱 work, rest, repeat 🔁 👍🏻💪🏻
jan you are so awesome and the videos are good too. be careful and don't break nothing this close to the end of harvesting. funny your dad was walking around the balers making sure you cleaned them well ennough. tell him you cleaned them, they are clean enough.

Which baler do you like better?
I love your channel- no green paint!
Awsome music and wonderful photo shots ! Thanks for sharing 😊
Time to buy an old used feed wagon just to keep around for emergencies. There cheap at auctions. I enjoy spending other people’s money
Some time ago I remember watching a video in which he mentioned that they buy a brand new feed mixer every year as it is so critical to their operation.
You will get an extremely good harvest on the rye as it has been sown on my birthday! 😀
The rye seeding drone shot was awesome! So cool! From pure Michigan!
*That's
...no more long-distance late nights!
For now.

You have a very cool farm sir and love the tools tractors one day every one be glad they whatch how to grow and look after we may need this info

i want to be there when those babys are opened . I just love these viedos... Granny USA
🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜🚜
Those older Case tractors will ll run forever if you keep them up. Great videos
I always plant fall rye in my hay fields for my cows and it works great for feed. We usually just graze it because it would be a pain for us to chop it or silage bale it.
Loved this video. Sure hope the rain goes your way and you get a huge yield. Sleep well Jan and thanks.
excellent rye seeds cultivation # but do U use Rye straw as forrage ????? straw has more than 90 % undigestable fiber & has no metabolic energy but it does decrease rumen acidity & help maintain blood PH # ❤️🇵🇰
Beautiful camera work!
Thank you yan watching now sir

Jan, hoeveel uur per week werk jij? volgens mij werk ik 2 weken over dezelfde uren ;)
You could get some of that plastic tubing for grease lines so you could move that grease fitting from under the baler to the side some place so it easier to grease.
I think your cows thoughts where (we are guessing there's something not working for the feedind system.but could someone please push up the last of the feed so we can at least eat that)
"ready to get the baling wrapped up' 👍
Good job from Silver Creek Georgia USA

You have the talent on videoing and cropping. I used to post on here for a short time
and got pretty good at teaching my self. It got too demanding/travel/parking etc fuel.
Hey Jan do they make balers that can bale like crazy amount of swaths at once? 2,3 i wonder maybe even 4?
On another video I saw your water system. You told that you have iron to get out. The system I recognized gets magnesium an calcium out first. If you are looking for more production and steadyness, start there.
Lunchtime entertainment Thanks SDK
Backpack blower would be good to clean off your equipment. I use mine all the time. Snow and leaves. Stihl BR800
They have one.
Well done . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing, be safe, 🇨🇦

Exceptional video Jan! Thanks.
Can the Juno get overriden and go out other than the times programed?
You have so much to do all the time.
Excellent video, it has been really interesting watching your daily updates. Thanks
What flag is that on your combine?
10:58 - Great shots
Juuupppp.... and thumbs up!! Thank you Jan for the detailed video, it was a lot of fun to watch.
Which one of your balers makes the best bale?
I would love to see a compilation of cleaning off spraying off tractors and things. That would be cool. You are probably too busy to do that but just putting it out there!!
Thanks for all you do.
I think the Juno is buggard 😂 come on Juno get your stuff together !
Drone shots were absolutely amazing 👏🙌👌👌.......pure hard work, dedicated life.....and a professional farming work....... randomly encounter this video.....now definitely gonna watch all the videos.......so many things to learn from you dear friend.....thanks for sharing such informative videos.....🙏👍
You are never to old nor too manley to give up "playing" with a dollie! 😅

Check the ground for grasshopper eggs, they may come out in spring. A dose of sulphur now, could be your friend in spring.
Big long beautiful fields with only a bump or two otherwise so nice and flat. Lot of farmers here in west central Minnesota, USA plant in the fall for harvest the following year. Where the two fields are connected, in the long run that will pay off with yield and I bet your father knows it. Great video.
Good video.
Fabulous footage, Jan!
It makes it so interesting.
GOOD JOB!
Are you gonna take the mx and the bale hauler to group together the bales and then haul them home on a semi?
loved the drone footage- didn't realise how big your fields are.
Your beard grows fast. That means you are healthy. I like it the length you trim it to. When the food supply ends the locusts pick up and leave for new territory. They all go at the same time and will travel a long way. I think your fall wheat is safe.Great video. Pax.
How short does he trim it do u think how do u know his grows fast
@@matthewbernard3124 watch for a few days in a row, you will see it..I think he uses the Manscape setup.
It sure is nice to have spare equipment in case something is down….
Thanks for the video and all the hard work you farmers do.
🇨🇦
That is not a good feeling when you can't feed the cows
Ferdinand thinks should back kick the Juuuunnno - whaaa -- *mouth agape* -- *blink* -- *blink*…uuuuhh, right - Ferdinand heads to bed - *sigh* in the barn - “So Lonely”
Yes, are perfect… could swim in those pools for days…Sizzlean…”Feed me, Seymour!”…jewel-tones in the sun…Bono - good, maybe even comely…👍 dubs…yeah, I do *evil grin* 👍 Mirjam…would like to be named Dolly for a bit…no moon tonight?

U should clean the header 1st before u travel along the roads. Instead of spreading weeds all the way ..just a suggestion
Can your sister use all that hay with her goats?
That's straw, not hay. It's used mainly for bedding the pack barn, corrals, (When it rains, or snows) and some of the calf barns. As well as filler in their TMR feed.

Cheers to you.
So the farmers let you get the bales if you cut and baled them?
They bought the straw from them. Likely for less money, since they're doing the bale work themselves.
Also tomorrow, hauling bales, yippee
I’m curious to know how much less milk the cows produced with your feeder being down, and the approximate cost to your farm.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us
You are one smart young man and your videos are outstanding. By the way are you 6"1' or 6" 2'?
Looks like you need a windshield replacement bud
Great video how wide is the planter in feet keep up the videos I watch yours sometimes three times or four
60' 1".
Trade some for the trucking of the straw !!!
Farmers are excellent I like working in farm jobs
Why do I find this so fascinating ?😊
When are you planning or able to start taking over that planting
Omg how I would love to wake up next to u every morning
Great to see the big blue machine in action 😊
I find it amazing of how much equipment u have on the farm
