One of the VERY few channels where I could listen to your dad for an hour or more at a time! Never really get any stories from my dad and my grandparents passed when I was too young to know any better. Grandparents all farmed, dairy and beef with grain. Always been around farming in one form or another and do miss it, but not the small squares! Every time I would go home dad would cut hay...
Your dad is light years ahead of most farmers out there. You just look at a guy’s equipment and it tells you everything!! Everything on that farm is in top shape well taken care of!! Then the animals are taken care of better then a lot of kids in this country!! Hats off to him!! He just needs a husqvarna chain saw!! He just might leave them stihl’s sit. Just kidding, keep the videos coming!!!
Great management and strategizing has gone into your operation. I’m a big fan and love watching each of your videos because so much of the “why we do it this way” is explained by your father. Beautiful farm You should be very proud.
Thanks, Good to know how you started from scratch and built up a nice small dairy farm. A round baler, better watch which way you eject one of those. It might roll down the hill and never stop. looking forward to part 2
I grew up on a farm here in the flat lands of Kansas. I've got 2 old Vermeer round balers. Not fancy they work. No electronics all mechanical. Us farm boys can fix it!
There is no doubt about it, this channel has become my favorite and I always look forward to the next content. We are a small family farm south west of Portland Oregon, My wife and I are the only full time farmers with two sons and their families involved as well. I am a retired fireman, my wife a retired executive secretary. We have been involved in farming since the mid 1960's and have always depended upon older, well maintained tractors and equipment with new equipment slipped in now and then. We are quite different in that we are not a dairy, but are involved in beef, hay, filberts and performance horses. Our strongest hay market is for small square bales to horse operations. Small squares bringing 20 to 35 percent higher value than other bale forms in this area.
Good point you made about being very in touch with your cattle. Nowadays, with dairy-concentration-camps all over the world having 1500+ milking cows, dairy businesses run by managers and computers, your farm is so much more down to the essential, and imho the only way to run a sustainable dairy farm. Keep on doing good!
No help for little ones here, but I do know one thing, when its zero and snowing hard outside, the loader to feed them(your arms) always works..............Rounds have their place, but are almost as big of a pain to feed in a place not setup for it as it would be to just get to it and make small squares.
I'm watching you guys more and more your farm looks so good your so believable and not phony not that the larger corporate stuff is all bad but you guys are the real deal .no contravercies older well maintained equipment the new machines are fun to see but not everyone can run new stuff all the time so keep up the good work thanks so much for your hard work and honesty love your show...
Your dad gave the best advice you will ever here, do everything you can to pay off your debt when you're young it will make the rest of your life a lot more enjoyable. In my area the guy with all the brand new equipment usually has the nicest auction. Our family farm started in 1919 the dairy cows left in 1964 when my uncle was killed on the farm after 2 tours in the Korean War. Beef cattle and row crops on 365 acres that has been bank free for ever. No brand new equipment ever, just low hour, clean maintained equipment.
Great video guys. I run a 50 cow dairy in south central Illinois. I'm the smallest pickup on the route. I own 40 acres and rent another 40. Big corn and soybean country here with most guys farming over 1,000 acres plus. Keep the videos coming. Those hills you guys farm look suicidal. 😁🇺🇲
Good video - I like the fact you are running older equipment and have a realistically sized operation with an eye towards some updates but not getting huge. I like how you all work well together and that Dad listens to the boys and vice versa. Great channel - keep up the good work!
I work part time on a confined 400 cow dairy. It's way better for us to milk 3 time a day but we can't get help. The cow stay clean. The stalls stay clean and the cows don't leak milk in the stall. We manage to keep a good somatic cell count of 100,000 or less on 2X though. We use to milk 4 am noon and 8 pm. The first farmer I worked for milked at 8 am and 8pm. I think most farmer time their milking with what time the milk man gets there. Buy a John Deere round baler. My neighbor does my round bales for me. They make a good solid bales. My experience using them for people I've worked for, they are reliable way back to the old 410s.
Wow, you guys are brilliant - your dad is an amazing man - inspiring and intelligent. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I thoroughly enjoy watching them. All of us who have worked on the family farm can somehow connect and the farm you have is absolutely beautiful. Your content is great. Thank you!
And if your kids want to get into farming these days it has to be your farm the only way they'll get into it it is tough to do I know from experience tried to get into it myself and couldn't do it tried for over 12 years and finally gave up worked in the factory till I became disabled from my job but I still would love to farm it's something that's in a person it's hard to explain if you're not a farmer it's a love of doing the work and knowing you're feeding people
I got a kuhn vb3190 and love it. Great in silage and dry. Has a 14 knife rotor behind the pickup. Will cut the hay ,staw or constalks up into 6 inch pieces.
Get a round baler from the best dealer. Color doesn't matter so much but the dealer now days really makes a difference!! Great Q&A. One more question. How many hours are you doing farm work a week? That means everyone who work on your farm. Thanks 😊.
at 0:40........a friend of mine took over his dad's farm years back. 36 stall barn Him and his wife milked 72 year around by doing a complete full barn rotation year around. With dry cows he had 82 cows. His son insisted if he stayed they must build a bigger barn> Dad said if he did..."there goes the profit" A lot of work doing a complete rotation 2x a day /365. This was central MN.
Falling behind ✔️ more projects then I keep up with would I trade ot.for anything? No I also work 50+ hours a week off the farm. Growing up we started milking around 430 am because of breakfast and getting ready for school. Can tell your dad wants the farm to stay in the family and he wants his boys to farm. Which I think its very important to talk about sucession in farming grandparents never did so everything was chaos
Always enjoy your videos. There is one question that interests me. When you are out in the fields on your tractors, do you wear a seatbelt? I did hear that it was most dangerous to fall off the tractor and possibly have it roll over you. And considering me to rain if your farm, very hilly and uneven, have you ever come close to a rollover? Jim
fantastic one again , if you do get a round bailer I think you may wonder why you not had one before, the make of it is better to get one where you don't travel far for parts they are all mostly good bailers now , green or red , and you want a good loader tractor to move them if you make any silage bails as they can be very heavy , i move ours with our IH 674 and she lifts them well. The little bail with always have its place for calves and how would feed milking cows in their stalls? could be an issue perhaps, good silage =less concentrates I think in today's costs
i think a silage baler with mesh warp would be best. do not get a bale kicker you will have no fences left on your hills i don't know who has the best balers now they all cost a lot. we have a old 435 john deere with mesh warp and a bale kicker after the first year we unhooked the baler kicker. take care, be safe and well.
with as hilly your land is all your bales would roll away. but that would be handy because you wouldn't have to run all over loading them they would all be in the gully. LOL Tom from Nebraska
If you were to get a round baler just speaking from experience. With the hills you have, I would not get one with a bale ramp in the back. It’s better to just back up a little, angle the bale so it does not roll and take out a fence. They are wonderful on flat ground, but when they give the bale that extra push it can roll where u don’t want them to lol all brands are very good now a days. We always had Vermeer or new Holland. Look into one with the crop cutter, if you do custom work for someone who does tmr, they mix in a lot better when they are sliced! So happy to watch the videos from you guys! I miss milk cows so much. I believe milk cows is what god intended in the mid west when he created it.
Hi Guts I enjoyed you Q&A I'm old enough to have done hay with a buck rake I still do squares and rounds for the horse market I'm thinking with New Holland round baler they work pretty good with the round baler when you get ready to open the back door just point it to the barn with those hills it will roll right in I enjoy your videos you have a beautiful farm
Thank you for all you do! I think more information needs to get out there on the value farmers have on our food supply! People have no clue where their food comes from! God bless!
Regarding milking times, I know a dairy farm where they milk at 11 and 11. The reason they started doing this was so they could be involved with their children’s school activities.
I have a new Holland 450 with the silage option and I absolutely love it and net wrap I bailed 200 bales of sorghum Sudan grass in two days with it it's a horse of a machine it's heavy built but I like my machine but one thing you want to keep in mind is Parts availability dealer support what is best for your area I'm close to a New Holland dealership so that's why I went with it
Very enjoyable video and good view of the barn. I have only one suggestion. You could put the more mundane answer to questions like how many acres you have in the area below the video description, Facebook, and Tiktok information. It could help save you being asked again by the people who haven't seen this video. Thank you!
Class makes a smaller big square baler that is great for the 7810 to handle hp and weight issues on hills. The twin is cheaper than net wrap and is a 3×3×7 bale
Enjoy all your videos, I’m in the hills of Vermont , would look into a Kuhn round baler, we have a Kuhn 3160 with the crop cutter and absolutely love it( are ground is hilly like yours, just have to pick where you dump bales out)
Great video…just a though, but how well would a round baler work on your hill….you might have some roll away bales and if you have narrow front end tractor with a loader lifting a round bale on a hill might be an issue…I wouldn’t like farming hills like you have….but it is what it is…really enjoy your videos.
Our farm land is very similar to yours with a hill just like your suicide hill but instead of a ditch,we have a pond. So when we were sled riding, we had to bail at the bottom or you were going into it.
Fantastic video, it always interests me, in a good way, to see how other farms run their operation. I’ve wondered how the hay and corn you guys chop holds up when you pack it into a pile? We’ve only ever bagged or put everything into a silo
We test drove a McHale fixed chamber, and a John Deere. We were very underwhelmed with the McHale, specifically the fixed chamber lead to lousy bale density. The processor works solid on the Deere but it still need to cut in the mixer
when i bought my first land 31 years ago i paid $745 a acre here in the sands central wisconsin and when i bought it TOP price around here was $550 a acre and the neighbors called me dumb plus other choice words they told me man you will NEVER pay that off? NOW 2023 the last offer i had was $6000 a acre. of course i put irrigation on it but a farm next to me no irrigation just sold for $5500 a acre
I used to run a John Deere 458 silage special twine only round baler that worked great. I was ok with twine only as I was only baling hay for myself and wrapping it for beef cattle. As time went on,I started selling a lot of dry hay to horse barns that always requested net wrap. So I ended up trading my 458 in for a new 450 M silage and never looked back. It’s been a great baler and very pleased with it. Doesn’t matter how fast or how slow you bale it eats the hay with no problem. Our ground here in western Pa.is similar to yours with the hills and valleys and my John Deere 6300 mfwd that dynoes at 90 pto horse power handles it with no problem.
I think from what I see in your operation the small squares still the way to go I think it would be too hard to do the bigger bales other than big squares they might work out
Great video! Why was the farm split up in such small parcels? Was it not originally split in quarter sections? If you do start round baling it might be a challenge to position yourself so they don't roll down the hill.
you must be in Western NY. In Eastern upstate NY, (Delaware County) we're used to total hillside farming. I've had tractors at a pretty steep angle a little scary but always got thru
Three times a day milking is worth it but in your situation would be hard seeing you have no employees and you have to make all your feed and all the other charge during the day does take quite a bit more time to do three times a day and I love the way you guys are farming keeping it small brother-in-law has the third largest farm in the state of Wisconsin to get on it and it doesn't feel like a farm everybody's running around trying to get things done not really a family farm it's a business love it that you keep small hopefully you never grow to be bigger you will hate it

Well, atleast I know what is on the jumbo-tron TV when I go out the road at night😁
I grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm . My husband had no idea until your videos how hard we worked. He doesn't mess with me anymore lol. (1960-1970s)
You have a farm to be proud of .
I could listen to you guys all day.
Watch where you turn a round bale loose on those hills 😂
Great management and strategizing has gone into your operation. I’m a big fan and love watching each of your videos because so much of the “why we do it this way” is explained by your father.
Beautiful farm
You should be very proud.
Great Q & A video. Very nice shot of your red barn at the end. With as hilly as your ground is, the name of High Hillside Acres fits perfectly.
Thanks, Good to know how you started from scratch and built up a nice
small dairy farm.
A round baler, better watch which way you eject one of those. It might roll down the hill
and never stop. looking forward to part 2

I loving listening to your dad very interesting. Thanks for taking the time for the Q & A
This channel has become one of my first go to's. Great content and wholesome people.

I did not think the video was too long I was very much enjoying it someday I wished I could come see the farm I sure miss farming
Good video - I like the fact you are running older equipment and have a realistically sized operation with an eye towards some updates but not getting huge. I like how you all work well together and that Dad listens to the boys and vice versa. Great channel - keep up the good work!
Vermeer 504 G3 pro! Best frogging baler we’ve ever had. Picked it up a couple of seasons ago and run all our hay with that model now. Wet and dry
I work part time on a confined 400 cow dairy. It's way better for us to milk 3 time a day but we can't get help. The cow stay clean. The stalls stay clean and the cows don't leak milk in the stall.

Can't get enough of the history stuff
I enjoy y’all’s videos, reminds me of my grandpa’s farm

It’s great listening to experienced farmers, I wish we had small bails, heavy bails are back breaking and saps your morale
Really enjoyed your Q&A video.
Great video

You'll have a beautiful farm, thank you so much for telling what size is your place is. Thank you again and great video!!!!!!
When we got rid of the horses and got our first tractor 1940 9n ford it freed up 1/4 of our land to feed cows. Thanks for your time. Pete
Always enjoy your videos. There is one question that interests me. When you are out in the fields on your tractors, do you wear a seatbelt?

An abstract is good Sunday afternoon reading,!!
Beutiful farm love these video’s definitely Vermeer John Deere or mchale
Great video, take a look at McHale balers, very successful Irish company exporting all over the world. 👌😊
Thank you guys for doing this!! You have a very nice operation going there!!
i think a silage baler with mesh warp would be best. do not get a bale kicker you will have no fences left on your hills i don't know who has the best balers now they all cost a lot. we have a old 435 john deere with mesh warp and a bale kicker after the first year we unhooked the baler kicker. take care, be safe and well.

Thanks guys. That was informative and interesting.
Thank You for sharing your family with us. 😊
Very I interesting content guys always interesting to hear the daily going on's and the history stuff is really Kool.

"Eight tractors!" Well, every wise person knows one needs a tractor for each implement...
Love this! Hope to catch the next stream! My top question is what does the sign on the barn mean, previous owner?
Your Dad is so intelligent
thanks so much😀
Fantastic video, it always interests me, in a good way, to see how other farms run their operation. I’ve wondered how the hay and corn you guys chop holds up when you pack it into a pile? We’ve only ever bagged or put everything into a silo
Enjoyed this video very much. Thank you
And thanks for answering my question about the canning jar 😆
My John Deere B has the oil bath air filter! Love the video!
We test drove a McHale fixed chamber, and a John Deere. We were very underwhelmed with the McHale, specifically the fixed chamber lead to lousy bale density. The processor works solid on the Deere but it still need to cut in the mixer
Was a nice video, answered all the things i was wondering. Only question i have is how many kids in the family?
New Holland and John Deere make the best round bales
I put around 5000 small square bales a year
at 6:39............."consistancy"
I had a neighbor who milked at 11AM a 11pm
"consistancy" is the key word.
when i bought my first land 31 years ago i paid $745 a acre here in the sands central wisconsin and when i bought it TOP price around here was $550 a acre and the neighbors called me dumb plus other choice words they told me man you will NEVER pay that off? NOW 2023 the last offer i had was $6000 a acre. of course i put irrigation on it but a farm next to me no irrigation just sold for $5500 a acre

Our ground here in western Pa.is similar to yours with the hills and valleys and my John Deere 6300 mfwd that dynoes at 90 pto horse power handles it with no problem.
Are there many dairy farms are left in your area.... I'm trying to buy a farm in PA
I think from what I see in your operation the small squares still the way to go I think it would be too hard to do the bigger bales other than big squares they might work out
Great video! Why was the farm split up in such small parcels? Was it not originally split in quarter sections? If you do start round baling it might be a challenge to position yourself so they don't roll down the hill.
The surge breaker cup milkers can you still use them if you had to and are any of your cows registered
Nice Q&A
I'm not real versed in farming but why do you pile up your silage and compact it.
Always figured a milk truck would have a wet kit to run a Hydraulic pump
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to revive the farm?
Vesting in land is better than it's better than the stock market
What every you do get the crop cutter with the net wrap it make great bales for the cow less wast with it all cut
Good questions. Do you get a lot of snow in winter like +50 inches and do you have a snowmobile?
Get a corn stock special baler with net wrap ether a John Deere or a Vameer
Would a round baler really work on you hilly property (bales rolling down hill)?
Any idea how much land was cleared land on the original farm?
Our farm in NY was mostly flat land. I am not a fan of hillsides.
Never seen a hillside combine operate until on your videos.
you must be in Western NY. In Eastern upstate NY, (Delaware County) we're used to total hillside farming. I've had tractors at a pretty steep angle a little scary but always got thru
@@UnkleAL1962 northern NY by Lake Ontario.
If you get the opportunity to try a kobota baler give one a try I think you will like it
Have a canning jar on my '50 8n.
You will be chasing round bales down the hills…
Three times a day milking is worth it but in your situation would be hard seeing you have no employees and you have to make all your feed and all the other charge during the day does take quite a bit more time to do three times a day and I love the way you guys are farming keeping it small brother-in-law has the third largest farm in the state of Wisconsin to get on it and it doesn't feel like a farm everybody's running around trying to get things done not really a family farm it's a business love it that you keep small hopefully you never grow to be bigger you will hate it
Will you be at world dairy expo ?
New holland round baler for sure.
Hello have a good day.
Are you guys going to make a bigger barn in the future
My neighbor used to say he milked at noon and midnight. His employee told me he prolly only got 10 milking a week. He always ended up going 15 hours
Sebastian Bauch - at least that's what I heard - would probably be a German name. Bauch means belly/stomach.
👌
Why is it called the "Bull Barn"?
