    This is a real success story. A man who truly has everything. Through years of hard, passionate labor, Grandfather has beaten the system. A broken, highly disturbing system stuffed with greed, gluttony, unethical intent. It’s a fractured system designed to take as much as you can while you can, no matter the cost. This man is the true definition of success.

    When I was a kid.. He brought me to his farm!! We'd fun in the farm.. He tells stories, he makes the best tea I still ever had 'cause I'm missing him so much!!
    When I saw this video!! It reminds me a lot of my grandpa..
    I wish I could just lay on his shoulder, listening stories even till today..
    I never missed anybody like I missed my grandpa! 😘
    I know he's in heaven watching over me.. I can't wait to meet my grandpa soon..
    Everytime I saw his farm!! It just turn me into tears....
    Now he's gone! But never from my heart 💜❤

      He as well was in MN born at the turn if the century had 11 kids and survived the depression taking care of them all. Loved horses as well I have been told. I never got to meet him, he died before i was born
      A quite man hard working and a care taker of all he had
      Wish I could have met you grandpa Joe McCormick, I want to be willing to live a peaceful hard working life like that

    @subsidized2778 2 года назад +1

    One of the best videos on the tube. As an American with most ancestors coming from Germany and England to farm here in the mid 1800s this has a special feel to the simplicity but constant busyness that kept there lives full. Now with the modern jobs and farming having all the tech. All we do is sit on our ass most of the day. I resort to cutting hay with a scythe and hand tool woodworking to find a place to relax and remember my ancestors hard work. I drive through the local Amish community and see the fruits of there labor and see a lot of value in what was once the norm. Some of the comments went way off on here. Trying to disect a horse kicking or modern medicine.

    My eyes are sweating. I lost my grandfather, who was the most beloved human in my life, above all others, 17 years ago. I was fortunate he lived until 92 and I had him for 35 years. My only child was born 6 months before he died and I am grateful he got to hold her. He spent his entire blue collar life literally serving others as a waiter and maiter de. It was my honor and privilege for me to spend the last 10 years of his life providing for and assisting him as he did for me all the years proceeding until that time. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of him, albeit briefly. Although it’s been 17 years since his passing, it’s still far to painful even to reflect on all my most fondest memories, let alone the painful ones that consumed his final years. My grandfather is entirely responsible for the man I eventually became. I imagine, because it makes my heart warm with happiness to believe it, that this “grandfather” in this video has profoundly impacted others as mine did for me. Cherish everyday and even every moment, because there’s only unimaginable and never ending grief when it’s gone. Thank you, I think, for this video.

    Damn what an intro. My grandfather got up at the same time and as your grandfather does. He would wake up, drive from his home 45 minutes to his bush lot. Sit and boil some water and make a coffee while waiting for the sun to come up so he could get to work for the day. He went and worked like your grandfather every single day until he was 89. I still remember sitting in my deer stand and hearing the sounds of his axe splitting wood off in the distance during crisp autumn mornings. I would often stop hunting and just go and sit and talk to him. Thank you for this series

    Love these clips because it takes me back to my childhood. I can hear the mowing machine clacking, feel the velvety softness of the horse's nose, smell the fresh hay as it goes into the mow. As an adult though I also know how unbelievably hard men like this worked. I have known many of them and they all had one superpower - they could deal with and learn to live with pain that would fell us today. That being said they likely wouldn't have changed a thing. It would be nice to see a series on the grandmothers too because their life was just as hard having, raising and caring for a large family. When I watch clips like these I try not to idealize the lifestyle but to respect it and appreciate the immense challenges that came with it.

    Oh my goodness!! Absolutely wonderful!! That was so awesome. That was precious! Made this grown man of 37 years almost cry. My own dear grandfather passed away like some 7 years ago. We we were very close. At his sunset yearshim and I would look out across the wheat fields of Kansas and watch some older men harvest there wheat. One his last comments was ( man I wish I could be out there with them working). Sadly this world's modern children are not learning to work. My lovely wife and I are trying hard to instill in our children the joy and values of manual labor. Our 13 year old daughter cooks complete meals from scratch by herself already. And our 10 year old helps me out side with my mechanic shop and cutting fire wood and such. Our 4 year old son helps momma in the garden and yard. As the rest of our children as well. Thanks again for this prec heart warming video!! If the rest of the world had these values, love, and patience it would be happier!!! Best wishes and God bless!!!

    My grandfather had 4 brothers and 3 sisters, they all grew up working the farm just like this. He taught me so much about how life should be before he left the earth. No matter where you are in the world, living a simple life and working the land with your hands and your mules/horses is one of the most rewarding lifestyles. We don't even have half of the knowledge our grandparents had, all we can do is learn and follow their example.

      Everyone has a different kind of work to do, it's not always physical. This is life for a farmer, I'm a dairy farmer and I'll be honest I enjoy getting up early and having work to do, I'm lost if I go on holidays, by the third day I'm missing my routine and want back to my life. I prefer a weekend away if anything, I enjoy rugby and going for a weekend to watch a game but by Monday morning I'm happy I'm at home again. For this man I'd guess if he had to spend several hours a day in an office it would likely kill him.

    Вспомнил лето в детстве с дедом. Не любил тогда всего этого очень, сено, пыль, огород, хотелось по быстрее убежать с друзьями на речку, а сейчас даже ностальгия какая то. Нет этого всего уже, ну или почти нет. Есть что то в такой жизни, когда чувствуешь, что это твое, и работать приятно.

    no telephone,no tv,no car,no stress,just pure life.Amazing.My childhod was the same and I miss it,very much and if I could I would buy the farm-small and just live on this way. Even that is hard work it is amazing . In the past people were better because of that kind of life,they comunicated instead watching phone,internet,tv and they respect nature and tradition and that is the only way to survive the world

    i wonder what he thinks about all that time while being silent and working? id love to know what goes through his head. is he thinking about the next lot of work he has to do? is he thinking about a woman? thinking about his grandchildren? does he worry about things? is he thinking of the future? is he thinking of the past? is his mind just blank? super curious.

    I grew up in the country. Birds in the morning, sticky wet grass at dusk. Taking a breath made you happy, excited to begin the day. I currently live on the outskirts of a mid-sized city, next to a busy state road. I have a river view but I feel too self conscious to sit on my porch because I have neighbors all around. There's no connection to nature, people are angry. Even the dirt is angry. I'm not sure if I envy the people who don't know what it's like to dig their toes into healthy earth, or if I wish they could.

    That's the most worn scythe blade I've ever seen. I own several scythe's and can't imagine the number of years of use it would take to get a blade worn down like that.

    Very beautiful video.
    I take my hat off to your grandfather.
    Although I know of older tools from agriculture, but the "hay tuers" I did not know or the self-built "frequent" for the crumbs. So old agricultural machines, you only see in the museum.
    I think your grandfather has a great deal of knowledge that you can learn a lot from.
    There is a saying here, "sucking up like a sponge." I would try to "suck up" everything your grandfather tells you, otherwise it will be lost.

    He reminds me of an old friend that we lost a few years ago at 85. He was working the day he died. He was an old cowboy and a rancher. You couldn,t find a better friend and neighbor. I sure do miss him.
