Homestead Shop Talk is a weekly audio podcast hosted by Jason Contreras (@sowtheland), Ben Hollar (@thehollarhomestead) and Al Lumnah (@lumnahacres). Three dudes with different homesteads talking about homestead life, content creation, growing a homestead and building a life worth living for. Thanks for listening! #homesteadshoptalkpodcast
Ben, there was something truly special about seeing you and the boys scything hay. No words.
I stopped worrying about what my neighbors think. A few years ago I had a 4th of July party. All were welcome and invited. I had the proper city permits. Biggest BBQ ever, 300 pounds of meat, all the different salads and toppings, 6 kegs of beer. Also had a string band (mummers) 13 piece band and vocalist. Also had a DJ with a laser light show. About 9p a fireworks display… then the police showed up (neighbor complaint) One of the police officers is my cousin, for laughs he put me in cuffs and roughed me up, threw me in the police car. Lights and sirens on drove me to the beer distributor for 2 extra kegs. Moral of the story, live your best life and always be happy. Don’t worry about what others think 😎👍
i know a few people that would totally do that lol
@@tammysarrazin-ux9tv next time, you are invited 😎👍
I will admit to my addiction to mini truck videos. I love watching Jason zipping around in his. But I am not going to give up on trying to convince him to paint it with Hippy flowers and a Sow the Land logo. Maybe Al & Jason can have a mini truck design contest. Ben your boys loved cutting that hay. Even if you don't have a cow to eat it, the bond you built that early morning with your sons was worth every minute.
Oh so true !!
That was my favorite part. All of the boys were so enthusiastic about doing it again. Laughing, talking and bonding with Dad. Nothing better than making memories while you work.!
Our entire "yard" is a garden. We planted everything that needed mowing. Even the road ditch managed to grow food the birds planted. 😂
Hello from a South African in Cambodia. I watch all 3 of you.
Hello to The 3 amigos! I love my neighbors, and they love me. hahaha. Really though I can't see them and they can't see me. But we do help each others out when needed. "Maine the way life should be"
Looking good with the hat off. Jason, you’ve got a great head of hair! Love your pod casts! Thanks for sharing your weekly story!
Scything in an apple orchard as a teenager (mid 60s). The sickle bar mower on the tractor was used for most of the grass. The tractor-mounted bar was not "trusted" near the transplant trees. The orchard (new, miniature trees) was across a slope and hilltop of about 6-8 acres of hundreds of 3-6' trees set at 12'. Days of work at least once a month. Scyth was wooden (ash?), height dependent on the user (6'+), with a 24-27" very narrow knife blade. Sharpening was done using an oval 18" long fine stone. We had to wear a leather glove to keep from damaging the backs of our fingers due to the sharpness of the knife edge. Scyth was bent antique wood with an adjustable handle. The metal contraption was an attachment that held a knife to the butt of the scythe.
So glad you're switching to hot wires, Ben. I wish everyone would. I've always thought that netting was dangerous for animals. Not just hot netting, but any netting around animals is asking for disaster.
100% agree!!!
Grew up on farm next to grandparents farm sharing activities to support both. One of the designated areas was the hay field which was visible from Grandpa's house. It was supposed to be a kid free zone so we didn't trample it reducing the yield.
The only problem was there was a wonderful wild strawberry patch in that field. While grandma had a huge strawberry bed. But wild strawberries taste even better but they are much smaller.
We had another patch in the bottom field which we had full access to but the combination of how small they were and there being 6 of us kids those strawberries didn't last long.
My next sister up (the 2 youngest) seemed to always be outmaneuvered by the older kids to get to the strawberries at peak ripeness so we would inevitably decide to go for the ones in the hay field believing we were super stealthy.
We would get through the barbed wire fence and get on our bellies to try to ensure we couldn't be seen. Fortunately the patch wasn't too far into the field.
Inevitably, we would hear grandpa yelling out, "you kids better get out of there before I get my belt.". We couldn't figure out how he could see us since we were crawling not realizing how much movement we were causing while trampling. He never did come after us because he could see our rapid exit.
Al, don't do a step-by-step on the hydroseeder. Justin Rhodes will see it, tweek it, & put out a book tomorrow, & sell a million copies by next week, lol. Just kidding lol
I LOVED BEN'S VIDEO of the family robot hay machine. It was so good that my wife watched it again with me.
Good hearing from yall and your right Al we all end up doing similar things at some point especially if it’s helpful or effective so why does it matter who did it first as long as we share if it’s worth doing we help each other !
So TRUE 👍
Ben, l bet you could get sponsored on the European Scythe! Get all the boys one. I don't even have a lawn, & I'm lookng at all the styles & prices. Lol. ❤❤❤ This was a really fun podcast. Keep it going for another 15 min. please!! God Bless you all ❤❤
Good afternoon from South Africa
Hello South Africa 😊
👍
If you want to keep your chickens laying through the winter you need to give them lighting. Use daylight bulbs to extend the hours of light in their cabin. 💡🐔🥚
I think the mini trucks are the bomb!! Honestly our family can was totaled so I had to get a new vehicle and I told my husband that I really really want to get a mini truck❤
Omg yess that would be GREAT-HOMESTEAD BUCKET LIST..🌱
I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!
My late husband went bear hunting in Canada years ago. We marinated the meat in an italian dressing type marinade and smoked it. It was amazing. I think the trick is marinating in vinegar base and dry smoking.
Just remember, some people don't have lives, ha ha! They think the virtual reality they create in their own minds about right, wrong, and who should do what when is the "real world". Sad, but true! I always love checking in with you guys, thank you for cheering me up, and getting me out of my own little reality.🌻
I love listening to all of you. Each of you has different interests and strengths and your delight in your homestead lives encourage me every week. Thank you.
Stay safe All and feel better soon Jason.. 🙏
That long grass .... I'm from Missouri where we have lots of pastures. A lot of farmers mow around the perimeter of the pasture which gives the illusion of neatness and it helps keep you from pulling out your hair about the height of the grass. It also keeps animals out of the fence line!!!!
Another excellent Shoptalk 👏👏👏 That was funny about the guy emailing you about the mini truck, Al! 😂
Ben Get some of the high tensel wire from Jason. He has a lifetime supply. We used that kind with pigs but we had 2 strands.
I just got done watching your haying video Ben. How cool was that! Jason, I bet you picked up your cold from one of the people that came for the butchering.
hard to believe it's already episode 48! Huzzah!!!
the Toyota mini truck in japan it's called pixis i love your shop talk keep it up
Love ♥ Jasons nice haircut.
I watch kanai style and Japanese garden tv. Both are channels in Japan. They use those trucks all the time. What is really great, is the sides also drop down flush with the sides of the truck. That way they can use a loader to pull big stuff off the truck with forks. Also can push mulch off the sides into wheelbarrows. Super versitile!
Bear chili is the best I've ever had. Yum!❤❤❤ Jason's hair is beautiful! 😊
People hating on you for your choice of farm vehicles, livestock etc. need to get a life. You do you!
No Jason, its from living in SoCal! Yards are a symbol. It was 90 yesterday & lots of rain for last 2 weeks. Ground is spongy.
Not only did you have a mower you had a trimmer to keep the grass short and you had to keep the edges neat !!
Yes, I agree. A detailed parts list on the Hydro seeder would be awesome. I would pay for that. I understand time is valuable and you already did the homework.
If they steal chickens, they will steal anything.
❤you 3😊
Be Safe
YAYYYYY, MY COLD BREW BEANS CAME TODAY, THE SMELL IS REMARKABLE! YOUR LABELS ARE SO NICE TOO! GOTTA GO BREW. THANK YOU. IT HAS BEEN SO WET THIS SPRING DURING GRASS GROWING SEASON, GOTTA KEEP UP WITH IT BETWEEN THE RAIN DROPS.
Just a first thought: get some stay off the PASTURE signage or maybe a “don’t judge my pasture by your lawn standards” sign at the start of the drive. Sure to get a laugh from those who know… maybe.
Hello from the usa I watch all 3 of u mostly lummah acres I live in the same state
Jason looks so happy in this. Great to see after such a shocking time
I've been binge listening to your podcast on spotify the last couple of weeks and happy to say I am now it to date! Its been a journey! Thanks for the tips so far. Much love from Adelaide, Australia!
1970 ford f150. 3 on tree. Vinyl floor covering. Bench seat. Crank windows. 350 motor. Perfect truck
I have been seeing mini truck videos where they made a canopy for the back for glamping. The box sides and tail gate folded out.they had a little grizzly wood stove or mini fire place.
i want to see the electrical Jason i find it interesting how people do it, Gina and Al do the electrical its great to watch hugsssssssss
Maybe Al does not worry but for most of us we need to mow around the house on all sides to keep a maintained area because of snakes. Here in Missouri we worry about copperheads mostly. They have all the wild areas but are toast if they enter the "lawn".
Good morning gentlemen!
Another great podcast. You range over so many subjects. 💕💕🌻🌻
Ben you should get a cow and bull calf again so you have more hamburg
Greetings
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
80s° again🎉❤ Thank you.
As always, I enjoyed the podcast. Y'all have a Blessed Memorial Day weekend.
Boys boys boys, what Al showed looked like a Toyota Landcruiser ute, but could also be a Hilux. Sooooo, in australia, we have alot of tray back utes, toyota, nissan etc. My husband uses his for work, builder. Single cab tray backs have a nice amount of room. Half are 4wd. Omg my bubble has burst, lmao, i cannot look at the mini truck the same way. Sorry. Its a trray back ute for me. And by the sounds of it with bad suspension and no 4wd. 😅. You guys are awsome, have a great week. 😊
Al/Ben-good chill chickens and that lay in Winter?

Hi men 😀love your videos 🤔been following you three for years 🤷🏼♂️AL,,, so why will you not do fly over your property asJason has done so we get a better view of what you are talking about 👍🏻😁
We have been so many HOME PROJECTS.. yesterday I had the plumber here the landscaper here and the gate repair man here altogether small jobs but things that you need somebody that knows what they’re doing cut a tree down fix a bearing on a very large heavy Rod fence that got done and the plumber we wanted a new toilet wasn’t working. We’ve been here 20 years already and it’s not working properly so we put a new one it .Oh my God we’ve been busy we had trees from the storm the other day tornado storm also had a young man build my bed so we positioned so with all the trees that are falling. I’m gonna put a lot of tree stomp, cutting the tree into those beds because they’re about 22 feet tall
So the guys all met each other and they actually gonna exchange their numbers because the plumber said he works so hard. He don’t want to cut his grass so he’ll get that my landscaper to cut his grass and the other guy. They just got to know each other and I’m very frugal so I don’t I get bids I don’t go for the first person. I’m trying to save money And they all did such a great job and everybody charge me under 100 and pretty much you know the plumber was 100 that tree trim guy did 100 actually he did 80 and the gate guy did 80 to fix the bearing and something else I can’t remember but really good prices, I would recommend these guys.,(Tx)
Plumbers here in Va. charge more than $100.00 just to come to the house....you are lucky.
I never really got into reading comments until you guys started saying what people are commenting. I think it's crazy all the stupid comments...lol! All the experts out there who have probably never done any of the things they want to criticize about.
I once talked to a 32 year old female who was outraged and thought it should be law that farmers should put "coats" on their animals (cows/horses) outside when it gets cold. She obviously has no clue, and she was 32.
How hard is it to say "Hey Google or Hey Siri" 😂
Welcome to the comments section, some are dumb but, most are friendly.
Not sure if you can get them in the US but a fun small 4x4 is a Fiat Panda. Try Heritage turkey they are harder than the white. Jason rotational grazing Cows. Sheep, pig,s chickens cows this would breaks up the worm cycle. Cows eat long gras sheep eat shorter grass pigs eat anything left and chickens eat any of the bugs left over
Spring bear is less greasy than fall bear.
It all depends on
when (time of year regarding their food consumption, affecting their fat storage)
where (geographic location, greatly affects their food intake. Closeness to humans and dumps contaminates their meat. More wild is best)
ALSO how it's prepared. LOW and SLOW is the key with bear to super tender and juicy roast.
Bear makes for AMAZING sausages, ground meats and steaks on the grill.
Can you tell I'm an avid hunter??? LOL!!!
Cindy Ings NL, Canada
Awesome as always
Love watching you guys
Rhode Island Reds are always mad - my favourite is Wheaten Marans are my favorite they lay choccolate coloured eggs and are calm.
Enjoyed the podcast. 😊
Enjoyed another one
Jason, you'll have to use Al's electrical disclaimer before you do electrical work.
Thanks for having me.
You bet
There is no ban on the Toyota Hilux in the United States, and owning one is perfectly legal. However, remember that Toyota doesn't sell the Hilux in the US due to the high retail price due to taxes.
Jason, that's what happens with every animal keeper. After something bad happen, you are always afraid it happens again...😊
I kept my pigs in a single wire rope. I moved them daily.
Great episode.
Chickens should follow the bigger animals. They'll clean up a leftover food and spread out the manure!!
Idaho watches all your videos!
Fun video gentlemen.
Great job guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AL you may need to look at the HOOF GP and look at some of the Highlander cattle hoofs he has trimmed. His videos will give you a good overview of what they should be. I think he did a trim this year. Al you got the truck first so you did not copy Jason.
I had 100 foot sheep netting around my dog yard for a puppy grow out. One midnight around this time of year I heard an animal screaming outside. My grandkids were visiting and I honestly thought some animal had been downed by a cougar, coyote or owl. So I reassured everyone, “ opes, some animal got got.” We all went back to sleep. Around 4 am I heard the scream again, and I went outside in the dark. There was a fawn completely wrapped up in that hot sheep fencing. I disconnected it and held the fawn to my chest, carefully unwrapping it and disentangling the spikey legs. I looked up and the doe was standing around 10 feet away, watching me. I let the fawn go, and it tottered off with its mother. It made it through 3 1/2 hours, wrapped in a hot net. I still feel so bad.
Hello, from Michigan. Enjoy your pod cast.
Jason, maybe a single wire fence for the sheep? Worth a try. Esp for peace of mind!
Omg really Al I would be like ok??? And Jason I was sick too but I got caught in the rain three times dropping and picking up a trailer but people need there produce
I live in Cambodia. Steeling chickens is a regular occurrence here.
Joseph, what a fun story. Where was the party? I'm going to crash your party this year. Sounds amazing!!
Great video y'all 3 amigos
That's it, I'm buying a scythe.
We grew up out in the country and still mowed our lawn. No shame in having a presentable homestead rather than having your place look like crap.
Great show Jason…😂😂😳
Jason, you look 5 years younger without your hat!
I just toss food to my easters and they come running
Jason, I wonder if you would loose viewers if you bought a tractor, because it was someone else’s “thing!” Humans are such strange creatures! Maybe it would be OK, as long as it’s not a TYM or a Kubota! Of course, Al’s mini truck is a different brand, but that didn’t seem to make a difference.
Both Jason and Ben should put up solar panels and see if the viewer returns to watching Al’s channel! I enjoy watching all of you, both individually and as a group. It would be fun if you could all get together to work on a project, and make videos of it! You could combine it into a three-part video, and have part of it on each channel. I’d love to see Gina, Meg, and Lorraine together as well!
Pasture or past your knee, past your thighs! LOL
I chose the Dexter cows bc they eat like goats. Not picky at all and mine are naturally polled 😊
I think were just taken away from their mother straight to you and they were just bamboozled - I dont think you will lose the others now. Good luck!
I always feel pressure to mow after my neighbors mow. Lately its been raining here alot and I cant mow and im having anxiety because i literally am watching it grow lol
Ben when will you be starting back in the home addition?
😢 Sorry, but disappointed. In the meantime Al got a barn built in 15 below zero, Jason got his property fenced and built a greenhouse.
I've made hay with a scythe, good exercise but hard on hands after a while. Gotta remember to ted it while drying just like mowed hay or you'll end up with compost.
Good morning
Y’all should check out the roxlor jeep.
Nice show as always, guys. What type of seed do you use to seed your fields? I'm looking for some type of Prarie mix with clover, but I've never bought grass seed, only veggie seeds. Thanks.
I got some coffee. Can't wait.
Ben..gwt a cow or baby sheep . All that hay and no outlet to enjoy it is a waste of energy and exercise in futility..so yeah...get another beefy boy. Meg loves preserving so minced beef and steaks would be a good addition to meals
Geez we have enough sizes of trucks to fit your needs ! Don't complain about America damn 😮
I asked my great grand father if he had ever stolen anything.. he said no... Well actually I stole a chicken from a civil war veteran that said nobody could take his chickens. Great grandpa said they cooked it and returned it and the veteran laughed and said them boys didn't steal... They earned it
ISA Browns r great calm egg layers
