It's such a great thing that Brent's 6th cousin, who is his Taylor, is his hard working, farm-hand! I hope his hard working, loyal 6th cousin Taylor, ends up inheriting, the farm, which she's faithfully devoted years of hard work and love. Taylor is more than just a excellent farm-hand, she's also a relative to be proud of, to be loved and cherished. I'm sure that Brent feels the same way about his, hard working, loyal and loving cousin. They've made a great family team! Love them both❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Brent is a classic Maine Man just like my father and grandfather. Hard working, honest, genuine do anything for anyone and tough as iron. I enjoyed this.
Always enjoy hearing about the history of farms. My cousin is a third generation dairy farmer. It is a Centennial farms, which means it has been in the family for 100 years. My cousin's Grandpa came from Poland. After working in the coal mines, he bought the farm. My Grandpa was born on the farm. He sold his half to my uncle. My uncle passed away in the seventies. My cousin was only about 12 at the time, and he has run it ever since.
Good Morning Its is great to seee and hear that small farms and dairys are still going it takes a lot of hard work and good management to survive in todays world Thumbs up to you and Brent Stay safe and warm enjoy your day, .
Hi Taylor, that was an interesting video of Brent's family history working at the farm. He said that they had to be 'frugal' with their money and do as many repairs as possible to save money. Now i know where he gets that from. I am not to sure if I can ask about Brent's personal life. There has never been any mention of a wife and or children. I respect him if he doesn't want to discuss this. Thanks to Brent discussing the history on the farm, especially having to rebuild the main barn by first chopping down trees then milling it into lumber, then the family doing all the building work. How things have changed. Chris from Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.
Brent is a cool guy and a role model that people should want. Even when being frugal he seems to take care of things just without excessive spending. Ive been curious about if he has a wife or kids but that's his personal stuff and of he doesn't want to share I'm fine with that also. I just wish them good luck and continued success on the farm and in life.
TY for the nice history video.As a retired Dairy farmer milking cows and receiving a milk check every 2weeks teaches you how to save money and repair everything your self. What a learning tool and I’m still today living with out in my means
I enjoyed this video, strangely enough I have done very much the same thing as Brett did and now have cows that don’t need loads of expensive food, basically they get grass , grass silage and a very frugal amount of meal . We are over here in Ireland.
Wow this is awesome 👍 this is so wonderful getting to hear from you both we never knew you were related. Love it keep the videos coming. The barn is so peaceful this morning.
Thank you for the back ground information on the farm. Like how Brent was wise enough to just cut back or out on inputs and did not get hung-up herd/milk production numbers. In my own opinion, which is not shared by very many, the USDA having dairy farmers always improving cow daily output; which created a huge surplus of milk, is what killed so many family dairy farms here in New England. We all should have stayed at the 40 to 60 lbs per day per cow average with hay, with small amounts silage and purchased grains for good digestive ability.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I 100% agree with you! Big farms are just pushing cows for more and more milk when there’s no demand for it. It’s just crazy
That was great Taylor and Brent. Taylor, when you mentioned how you loved talking to farmers and hearing their stories, it reminded me of my childhood. My parents bought a house that had a different farm on each side and another across the road. All of the farmers were retired which was great for us kids. We got to hang out with them in the gardens, orchard and barns or in the kitchens on rainy days. Learned a lot and had good times.
Nice to hear Brent's and your history to some extent. There must be some more trials that your family had over the decades that have been forgotten to history. Documenting what you can of your family's is a great present to the future generations that will be interested in you. Hope it warms up for you guys. Your heifers seem to be doing great. Stay safe and healthy Tay.
Brent e Taylor, muito obrigado por isso. 🥹🥹 Não se fazem mais homens como Brent. São forjados no puro aço. Homens honrados. Deus abençoe sempre. Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷
Thanks for a very informative video. It’s a great achievement for Brent’s family to be a 5th generation farmer and to have the knowledge and skills to know when and what to change how you farm in order to stay in business. It will be great to see some of those changes in the coming year’s videos. Your new boots look great. Another awesome video. Keep smiling, keep farming, and stay warm.🚜🐄🌞😉
Great video Taylor. That was very interesting. "If it's not in your checking, you don't need it." More people need to have a similar outlook. It's "frugal", not cheap! 🤠 Enjoyed that very much.
I love this stuff! This is true Americana! 1 farmers story that us told across our country! Tay you have a rich history. Great lineage. Thank you Tay! I eat this stuff up! ❤
Really really amazing video Taylor! And Guess who started 2024 with almost 15K subs ? How many a year ago? You're the best, Hello from your fellow dairy farmer from Québec
I heard the old joke about the weather in Maine, 10 months of winter and 2 months of poor sleddin'. Dont know how true it is, but kudos to you two making it all work, all year.
It was a very interesting video, I enjoy hearing about how farmers got started and it seems like the farm goes way back in time with lots of history. Thanks again for sharing this story.
Great conversation with Brent! When I'd be milking with my old boss, Elmer, I'd love to hear his stories about his family's farming history and how he worked to acquire his Uncles' farms adjacent to his own farm. Do you smoke? I though I noticed a carton of cigarettes on your dash. My Uncle Richard used to smoke non filter camels while milking his cows in a tie-stall barn. I mentioned to him about starting a fire from smoking in there. He was never concerned about it.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! There’s nothing better than the stories told by farmers, I just love the history and frankly I think times were better back then even if they were harder! No I don’t smoke, what you saw was actually a case of candy which is my bad habit😉 I love sweets!!
Hi Tyler, I have worked on many area farms here in Vermont and I have always been interested in the history of the farms,learning how they did and made do back then compared to today,Ed from Vermont,thanks for doing the awesome vid,it’s very interesting
Lovely and heartwarming video Taylor. It is really nice to hear the history of the farm. Wishing you both all the best and meny more years of happiness and health and joy of farming. Regards from ireland Patrick Brazil.
Enjoyed hearing about the farm history. Snow looks pretty, we have only had a dusting of a few inches here in Virginia so far. Wish i had a nice place like that to keep heifers especially in the winter.
Taylor be sure to thank Brent for sharing His family farm's history with us!!! And thank him for letting you take us along day to day. We live clear across the country so might be the only way we see Maine.❤❤
Thanks for another great video, I loved hearing about the history of the farm, you and Brent truly represent the best of what this country can be!!!!!!!
Back in the fifties I did a lot of that kind of stuff. One of my responsibilities was taking care of the cattle away from the main barn had. To feed and hay them and be sure they had water. On the cold winter days, it was a rough thing, but there was always a bedding pack, so inside the barn whenit was closed up, it wasn't that cold... and the animals seem to be doing good. I have a lot of good memories about those days. I really like hearing about the history of the farm. That's very interesting. The time frame was when most people knew how to work. Those were hard times, but they were good times. There was a wholesomeness then that a lot of our society has lost. I've often thought it would be nice to go back to those qualities, when life was simpler and in in many ways better❤
Not to pry into family or farm business. But i have noticed TAYLOR , you are the only one that works at the farm with BRENT , so who will take over the farm when brent cant run things anymore when he is much older , i would love to know you would TATLOR , you deserve it knowing how much devotion you put into everything like he does
Love your video's! Thank you for sharing your family history! From a farming community From belleville Pennsylvania! Keep the video's coming and hope you have a wonderful year in farming ❤
This was a great video. I love to hear the history of farming family's. It comes from working on Gibbie's farm when I was a kid. He told stories from when he was young and his dad and uncle each had farms that came together in our back pig pasture. We still were using the first tractor his dad brought. It was a Farmall with cables running from the front wheels to the rear brakes. When you turned the front wheels it applied the brake on the side you were turning to. One of the best stories he told was threshing with the big steam tractors. Farmers from all over the township would get together and help with each farm. The woman would make a big spread for lunch and everyone sat at a big table to eat and tell stories and pass on news. I left farming to go into the Army after I got married at 18. My wife was a city girl and we tried to get into farming after the service but she was unhappy with that life so I left farming again but even today a 68 I still want to be in the fields every Spring and Fall.
best video so far thanks congratulations Brent on your 1st 25 years so interesting dont know how it is in your area maybe like here in western minnesota where almost all the dairys have quit i'm still milking 65 cows doing all the milking myself maybe Brent is like me too darn stubborn to quit lol p.s. you guys sure have a nice herd
Hi Taylor what a awesome video thanks for sharing, great to hear the history of the farm. Brent had very astute relations great to listen to thanks again take care and stay safe 👍 😊.ps how's the new boots?.
I loved the history of the farm. Great job. Being frugal is essential for survival of a small farm. I bet you wish you could by a farm for $5000. All you need to do is add a bunch of zeros. Take care.
I love when Brent makes an appearance. All the farm tubers I follow, each operation does it differently. It depends on location, personal preference and what they grow/size of operation. The common theme in all the channels is family focused, hard work and transparency
Awesome story. I hope you can do a few more. I love that stuff and hearing Brents experience and knowledge is great. That tie stall is amazing and that they milled the lumber to build it after a fire is even cooler. It is as beautiful as a church with the rafter and roof design. That other 3 level barn the heifers are in also amazes me. A great design and efficient. Keep up the good work! 2008 was bad but our countries policies and politicians have been failing the people from 5-6 decades before to ultimately allow that catastrophe and since then juy more of the same. Brent is a survivor and is sharing how with you, which will help you out in the future, whatever that may bring. Cheers to 2024 and hopefully its a good year.
Awesome video, its nice to see how other parts of the country farm and how the farm came to exist. Hopefully some day Taylor u can take over the farm that you're ancestors started. Stay real and keep farming
This was awesome!! Tks for sharing the farm history!! The story about the barn rebuild was great!! I'm sure there is much more history to tell...maybe there will be a 'part 2'??!! Stay safe and warm!
Love watching your videos, however this is my favorite one. You and Brent chatting was terrific. Brent's been around the farm block, so to say. You can tell listening to him that he's willing to do whatever to keep the farm running and profitable. Hats of to you both for working so hard and keeping a smaller farm running generation after generation! And I have to say, your skills looking after the ladies, or operating all the equipment are top notch!! Keep it real and keep farming!
It's such a great thing that Brent's 6th cousin, who is his Taylor, is his hard working, farm-hand! I hope his hard working, loyal 6th cousin Taylor, ends up inheriting, the farm, which she's faithfully devoted years of hard work and love. Taylor is more than just a excellent farm-hand, she's also a relative to be proud of, to be loved and cherished. I'm sure that Brent feels the same way about his, hard working, loyal and loving cousin. They've made a great family team! Love them both❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I don't even know what to say. This channel has to be the most honest thing on youtube. Thanks for sharing.
It is.
Taylor is definitely the hardest working female farmer on RUclips. My opinion
Brent is a classic Maine Man just like my father and grandfather. Hard working, honest, genuine do anything for anyone and tough as iron. I enjoyed this.
“Coffee with Brent” love it.
The history is cool. I didn't know there was a connection between you and Brent. Helps us feel like part of the family. Awesome!
Always enjoy hearing about the history of farms. My cousin is a third generation dairy farmer. It is a Centennial farms, which means it has been in the family for 100 years. My cousin's Grandpa came from Poland. After working in the coal mines, he bought the farm. My Grandpa was born on the farm. He sold his half to my uncle. My uncle passed away in the seventies. My cousin was only about 12 at the time, and he has run it ever since.
That was great having a sit down with Brent. He is such a nice bloke and the family connection is pretty interesting.
Your ancestors really were very hard working and determined. Constructing a barn that size takes both braun and brains.
Thanks for the great story an history love your videos you are the best you two are great people😊😅love you
I was hoping you would do this with him. This was really great. Thankyou.
I just love hearing about the history behind the farm. Thank you and God bless
Great video Taylor Barn looking spiffing great workers you & Brent 🤗
Thanks Taylor for a very interesting video, what a proud man. Stay safe.❤
Brent looks like he knows a thing or two about dairy farms. Hello from Tennessee
That was great.we.need part 2. How about.stories from Brent maybe once.a month. ?
Brett's awesome, love his wit. You're awesome too!
Great content as always
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed the video

If Brent prefer not to discuss this, that's quite ok. But ... would there be a 6th génération on this farm?
"brent out" lol. so happy brent was "in"! good job T&B!
Thank you for sharing with us Brent!
Great video Tay nice to hear the back story of the farm stay safe 👍
