I love small squares, it brings back great memories! Thank you Jan for sharing your great farm life!!! stay safe my friend and God bless you and everyone on your farm!!!!!!!
Out of all the farming videos that I view yours are the best and most informative. The drone footage adds a nice touch and I must say that the care that you have for your herd is immpecable. I grew up around dairy farms as a kid and I can't believe how much it has advanced. Baling hay in my day we didn't have bale pickers, it was all grunt work.
Absolutely love the haying equipment in the video. Drone footage was spot on. Even tho you got rain the sky was beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Found your videos recently. This one brought back a lot of 40 plus year old memories. I was the bail picked back then so would have appreciated the new tools. That and a lot of hours at the top of the mow in a 100 year old barn tossing bails to the stackers.
That's quite the operation your family has built over the years. I hope you and your siblings are very proud. You farmers out there are living the true Dream. Not getting rich with money but doing what you love.
Square bailers have always been something that amaze me. How they cut, aline, compress and tie that random swath into a perfect square. Nothing beats the smell of fresh hay. Great video once again. As always in Saskatchewan if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes.
winnileesboy My cousin used to work at feed lot at Strathmore Ab. We would feed a conveyor with squares in 8 hour shifts. The hay shed had 1000’s of bales stacked 50 feet high.
Thanks Jan. I always wondered how those square bales were made. I understand and appreciate much better after your fine demonstration. Blessings to you and the family!
After watching these videos , I am not only impressed with the incredibly difficult work but also all the skills required. They need to be engineers, high level mechanics and technicians, meteorologist, agronomists, animal husbanditry, equipment operators, economists, and much more. Underpaid and under appreciated. They seem to all have human skills as well. God bless each and every one.
That bale picker is so helpful, here in Chiloé, Chile we store something like 6000 square bales in the summer, every single one picked up by hand and lifted on trucks, then unloaded in barns. So much work. Nice video.
Thanks for sharing a little bit of your day with us. You are not kidding about not kicking the wind rows together for small squares. We raked a field for big round bales and then decided to small bale it, had to run the tractor in 1st low, riding the clutch. The upside, the bales were almost end to end, so not as much walking to pick them up.
Good God, small square bales....nightmares of my youth. Sweating buckets in either the hay mow or the field. I can still hear the chug of the baler sitting on the wagon.
Small bales reminds me of my teens. The local farmers would hire us during hay making to hand stack the wagons, unload at the barn and hand stack in the loft. We turned everything into a competition. Hard work but great fun and an appreciation for what it takes to feed the world!:)
Hi yan big up I love watching your farm and watch you working sometimes I sit a round the television for hours to watch the videos on utube.some times forgot I didn't eat I enjoy watching have a great day.
Really good hay you have made. Your baler and wagon sure beats making stooks of 24 or 32 by hand. Thanks for sharing your small baling and 545 is a good number of 10 acres. Thanks for another great video. Keep them coming.
Gosh, there’s a machine for everything! The hay bales remind me of mini wheats cereal. I’m a Canadian too (ON) and I can really hear the accent when you say “out here” etc. lol. :)
There's no mistaking where this kid grew up! That's part of what I love about this channel, 10th Generation Dairyman, and Tom Pemberton Farm life. They each have a distinct and unmistakable sense of place.
If you have a decent size stone close throw it ahead of tire when putting baler in and out of transport saves alot of jerking. Great video thanks for taking the time
Brings back memories. Pressed many a straw balles back in the day. Though we used a system that would fill wagons automatically. Though this meant extra work unloading them. But it was convenient for us as we often get the straw from other farmers who due not need it, and thus had a bit of travel time on the road.
Many a fond memories of bailing hay and straw with my uncle. We did it ole school stacking by hand. Yes the bale wagon is a time saver but I never tipped a load with stacking by hand. Thank you for sharing.
That bale picker is wonderful.... we always walk beside the pick up truck and tossed the bales up to the person riding in the back of the pick up.... we all fought to be the person in the back of the pick up cause tossing those bales up to the truck was hard.
The bale picker is great! Would have saved a lot on the strings cutting into my hands when I was (much) younger! The only drawback I see is that they don't allow for the creation of a 'chimney' (a narrow squarish gap in the hay bales from floor to top) in the shed to allow the bales to 'sweat' and the moisture to escape. Those chimneys are the cause of many a person's death when they fall into them and can't escape and suffocate though. Many of whom are regretfully children who thought it was cool to play on top of the hay stack.
Very cool kid! I learn something new with each video! When I was twenty (I turn sixty next week😲) I spent some time with my uncle Ralph who raised pigs, 600, kept beef as a "hobby" 200, had sheep, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and I'm probably forgetting something! Huge veggie garden that was all my Aunt's baby. I've never seen any person in my life work as hard as that woman!!! Anyway, I showed up during hay harvest so your video sparked a few good memories for me! This was in central Minnesota, which is more or less Canada, right? My Uncle owned 200 acres but farmed 900 all with the help of two nephews during the summer. Your dad must be very proud of you!
I remember growing up on farm with square bales I come from large family so we had a couple of wagons Dad built homemade from old combine axles & steering axle from 52 IH grain truck Those were the days my friend great videos keep them coming Go Riders Go
Memories! I worked for New Holland at their assembly plant here in Australia 50 years ago. Not much by appearance at least has changed with the baler design.
Jan you are such a thoughtful person. Now with those square bales when you have a steak Bar B Q you can invite your Vegan friend's and they can have some hay steak.
Dam 2 days for it to dry. (Around me) Ottawa, Ontario) I cut the hay in the morning, take it in the afternoon around 4 pm and start balling it around 11 am the following day (less then 36h) I even have to bale the small square bales with some dew on it cause it’s at 6-7%
That 575 NH bailer if well tuned will kill a 120hp pto tractor. I know i used to be a NH mechanic and that bailer is the most performance bailer on the market if well tuned.

Your drone & time lapse is fantastic... nice job Hann 😏👊
Great video, Kid. You are a natural teacher explaining all the processes. Thanks.

Have u ever seen a hay wagon loaded and stacked old school
These old farmers build them like it was art!

Great drone shots!
Love the sister!!!
The drone shot of raking the grass was really great.You have some amazing machines.Thanks for another educational and fun to watch video.
Great video Jan, those drone shots are really amazing, great stuff #supportthefarmerandhiswayoflive
Good one. Loved the drone footage and seeing that NH crank out the bales
Dutchy, very good video. It brought back memories, just no bale handler in those days!
Sooo entertaining to watch the bales being made. Thanks for taking us along
Hi yan big up I love watching your farm and watch you working sometimes I sit a round the television for hours to watch the videos on utube.some times forgot I didn't eat I enjoy watching have a great day.
I think... "It is what it is... that's farming" would make a great t-shirt slogan! =) Hope you and your family are staying safe & healthy!
Should make one that says "Farming Aye"
@Marshall Weber, it seems to be the running theme for 2020. I keep hearing it everywhere I go. It's fitting.
All the family working, great farm you got there.
@3:23 That is a spectacular drone shot of the field, half made into windrows, and half not.
Yeah that was an awesome shot.
Another good video!
And thank's for showing how to set-up the equipment!
I love the rhythm of the sounds from square balers.
Really good hay you have made. Your baler and wagon sure beats making stooks of 24 or 32 by hand. Thanks for sharing your small baling and 545 is a good number of 10 acres. Thanks for another great video. Keep them coming.

I love your time lapse shots
Drone shot over the entire field was awesome! Great video as always.
That's some epic videography of the bailing. Love it!
Love that bale collector what a back saving piece of equipment. Throwing bales onto a stack is a killer.
If you have a decent size stone close throw it ahead of tire when putting baler in and out of transport saves alot of jerking. Great video thanks for taking the time
woah that shed at the beginning is genius! that 2' or so gap at the bottom for ventilation
Thanks for posting Jan!
We put a block of wood in front of the baler tire so you don't have to jerk the tractor
Or just pull back on the outside of the baler pickup
@@farmdays2226 yes that is a good idea if you have two people
Brings back memories. Pressed many a straw balles back in the day. Though we used a system that would fill wagons automatically. Though this meant extra work unloading them. But it was convenient for us as we often get the straw from other farmers who due not need it, and thus had a bit of travel time on the road.
Loved this video...your best yet. Enjoyed seeing all the current machinery. Kudos to you
In the 1950's we got a penny a bale riding the hay wagon bucking bales, I still have my bale hooks !
And you thought baling some hay up would be boring. Can you tell we don't get out much these days Jan? Another great video!
This is such a great channel. Be great to get an intro to your family.
this is absolutely amazing the fact that it is just for milk production is overwhelming. i bet you produce the best milk ever!
Boy that bale stacker would have been nice back when I use to stack them on wagons, then hand unload into hay sheds.
Many a fond memories of bailing hay and straw with my uncle. We did it ole school stacking by hand. Yes the bale wagon is a time saver but I never tipped a load with stacking by hand. Thank you for sharing.
Love the drone shots !
Love seeing the farm machinery in operation. The pick-up wagon sure saves a lot of laborious work. Thanks for sharing. 🚜 🚜 🚜 🚜 🚜
That bale picker is wonderful.... we always walk beside the pick up truck and tossed the bales up to the person riding in the back of the pick up.... we all fought to be the person in the back of the pick up cause tossing those bales up to the truck was hard.
The sky is so pretty up there.
Great video as usual, Thank you and Aloha.

i really like the bayler and the unit that picks them up really great, you did a super job , great video

That bale wagon is asome if we had that when we made hay all those years ago it would have saved a lot of back ache and time
hello from berwick nova scotia loe videos keep up good work ...love square bailing it fun lol
I really enjoy watching your channel
💕 the drone shots over the field....
Kicking up rooster tails🤣 That’s a new one!
Hey my friend hope all is well...good video like always,, the farm looks awesome..5 months until December Yucky the cold weather....stay safe..
I remember growing up on farm with square bales I come from large family so we had a couple of wagons Dad built homemade from old combine axles & steering axle from 52 IH grain truck
Those were the days my friend great videos keep them coming Go Riders Go
Memories! I worked for New Holland at their assembly plant here in Australia 50 years ago. Not much by appearance at least has changed with the baler design.
Great awesome video Jan , love the baling ,
That jerking reminds me why inline is so much smoother until shtf
Another great video always look forward to the next one
Liked seeing this. Love all your videos. 👍🇺🇸❤
I like technolongy I remember having to do it all with a flatbed truck and 3 men but life is easyer these days just less people helping.
Jan you are such a thoughtful person. Now with those square bales when you have a steak Bar B Q you can invite your Vegan friend's and they can have some hay steak.
Lol
Never seen a rake like that?? Also, is that a 7 foot baler or a 9 foot??
Looks like you are having a good afternoon over there. I think once the restrictions ease I'll head over to my moms farm and rest for a few days.
How about more from #SaskDutchSister" ??
I never knew how bales were made. Interesting machine
Congrats on 100k
Great video Kid Dutch👍
That's a cool rake! Never seen one like that.
This Westcoaster alway looking forward to your videos, Jan. 🇨🇦

Square meals for you herd....... I couldn't resist.
Great video as usual Jan :)
Just curious, how many small square bales to one big round bale? Neat how they both have their purpose.. 😁✌🏼
Real family effort made effortlessly 😉
Great job. When does the weather change for you guys.
That 575 NH bailer if well tuned will kill a 120hp pto tractor. I know i used to be a NH mechanic and that bailer is the most performance bailer on the market if well tuned.
Awesome drone shots
Love the air view.
Do you always park your equipment under cover?
I always love small bales. I really dunno why tho. Live all your vids. Keep up the good work 😁
That trailer is just so smart.
Jan next time put the big wedge under the wheel. So you will not have to pull like that with next unfolding and folding. 😆 Free tip
Super super nice video Jan! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You have excellent skills in educating. You explain well.
Is that ts sle or sl
Do you rotate the field every two to three years with another crop? Geweldig om een zus te hebben om te helpen..😉
I'm a big fan I wish I could be there
Same!!!!!!!!!!! 🐄🍼🥛🍼🚜
saaaame!
You are not alone :P
Do you guys speed bail in 3rd gear? 😎😎
I need to borrow that wagon for a week or two. :)
Great video...out west here what you call a clavis or clevis we call it a Hammer Strap.
Love the videos man
Congrats you surpassed 100k subscribers lets go to 200K +
Jan thanks for sharing greeting from the Netherlands
These look like rectangles, not square. Maybe these are Saskatchewan squares?
They were always called small squares just the name they where givein
Fabulous videography.
