    RUclips is really giving me an insight into farming. Learning a lot of things I had no idea about. The one thing I already knew, farming is a lot of work.

    • @KutWrite
      @KutWrite 5 лет назад +5

      It's a lot of risk, too, esp. financially.

    • @derrickrr5516
      @derrickrr5516 3 года назад +3

      More risk than work because I don’t count fun work as full work. It’s difficult to make good money from farming. It’s also very dangerous if you’re not paying attention.
      Man vs Machine = Machine ALWAYS wins. Absolutely must be thinking of safety with every decision you make around equipment.

      Farming hay is time consuming but a way to make it faster is u can get a baler where it has the rake behind da tractor and the baler behind the rake so it gets it done faster and u don't have to worry about the bale coming out all wonky

    The great thing about your video is that you give your viewers the sights and the "sound". This adds "Realism". Many others play music during the entire video. In my opinion, viewers want to hear the tractor run and hear all of the other noises. We want to feel like we are there. You provided that in your video. Good Going!

    Wow !!! Absolutely wonderfull crop of hey in that awsome long field.. excellent video good job on the footage an also nice to see that someone else does some thinking ahead before loading an unloading of bales an cropping ..we too did the same .. as well as the skipping of winrows .. sooo much better than taking sharp turns as it’s so hard on equipment making tight turns .. my dad taught me that too..👍👍 I can soo relate to you as you say you learnt from ur dad .. jus 4 yrs ago I got diagnosed with a incurable disease an crippled bad a year later my dad got lung disease an I lost him jus not too long ago.. my mother an I couldn’t keep going with the farm an had to sell everything .. I miss my dad so bad An miss the farming .. things happen so fast .. enjoy farming with ur dad all you can as one never knows what’s around the corner .. watching ur videos is an absolute pleasure , An the way yas do it is sooo much the same .. we too had beef cattle .. charlois an simmental cross.. big beautiful animals so quiet an easy to work with but eat us out of house an home .. needed lots hey for winter to get thru.. please keep the videos coming no matter what it is as for farming I will enjoy every bit of it .. I’m from Ontario canada..but have been down in your area several times over the years an love the farm land there .. thanks an stay safe while getting the crops in.. 👍👍

    Just discovered you! Nice. I enjoy seeing South Dakota and Wisconsin farms on here. I use to live in SD for a few years. Box Elder, SD near Rapid City. Little more hilly terrain there. Black Hills. Passed by you many times driving between WI and SD on ol' I90. South Dakota is such an underrated state in terms of beauty to me. Anybody who doesn't like rural living would disagree, but I sure loved it.

    Very interesting how hard work it is to make food for livestock. Even though "hay delivery day" (just 1 bale for my horse, we're boarding on a self-catering horse barn) is that one annoying day of the month, I always love to open up a new bale once it's in storage. Hay smells soooooo good. 😌😌😌

    @natehill8069 4 года назад

    Since you have a bunch of video technology in play anyway making videos, have you tried putting a camera on the back of the cab facing the implement(s) and a monitor in the front of the cab so you can see how its operating without having to crane your neck around all the time? I have a tiny hay operation so it wouldnt be practical for me, but I get really tired of spending hours looking over my shoulder and have frequently thought about trying to rig up a mirror or something. It would take practice getting the hang of understanding what you were seeing, but I think in the long run it would pay off in comfort and productivity.
