It's nice to see other farmers, how they do their daily chores... we did pretty good this year, especially with all the new farm help... Best thing our neighbors sold us their land, thats really going to help us out even more... they decided to retire from everything, their family didn't care to farm, and grand kids didn't want to either... we just grew with 3000 ACHRES more, AWESOME... take care and don't forget to bundle up in the winter...
GOD Bless you! OH , how I hated those bitter, cold Pennsylvania mornings! Dad always went out EARLY, to tend to the cows and horses! I felt so sorry for all of them!
Just wanted to say I've been watching some of the older videos. You mention in 1 video of wanting newer and or more stuff but know that it's just not in the realm of possibility. Unfortunately for you dairy farmers life is certainly hard and at times not fair but please remember that there are many of us out there that appreciate everything you and your family do to keep the farm going and provide us with the necessities needed to survive on a daily basis.
How many cows do you milk each day if that is not a prohibited or poor taste question. You are very impressive. A wonderful video. Very well made. JoeB
I love when you pop in a soda here and there. It's almost a game trying not to get suprised bu where you pull em out from. Nice little unique feature in the episode.
What a man 💯This is a great person. (What America was) . Clean talking, hard working man. Wish it was like that now. When people worked for a living. No hand outs. When family was a family. Everything stopped on Sunday. Families got together. Nothing opened nothing but hospital. ⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🌈💯❤️🦋⭐️☝🏼🥰🌻🎆🎆🎆✨
Good Job. I agree with the comment that all your farm work is much appreciated. I feel like this should be repeated many times. We all need food, somebody has to make it...grow it...all that. I stumbled onto your channel this evening. Refreshing.... When I was younger I wanted to be a farmer, did not make the leap.... Old farm tractors is as close as I got,, have gotten. Watching you jump/vault up onto the top of the silage bunker.... wow ….. have a blessed day.
I recently subscribed and am catching up on your old videos. I live in Vermont, which used to be a dairy state when I was young but one by one those small farms have shut down. Most of our farmers worked long hard hours so their kids could get a good education but educated kids seldom want to come home and farm. Watching you is like living in the past. You do an excellent job of portraying dairy farming. Your parents must be very proud, and grateful that you've chosen to continue on your family's path.
Great channel. My family on both sides farmed and I used to work for several farmers-small grains, cows, sheep, sugar beets, potatoes in my area. I miss it very much. Awesome to see a successful family operation.
I'm thankful for you making the videos I know the hard work that goes into it after working as hard as you do take the time and still make these videos find incredible it is so refreshing to see young men working hard something you don't see anymore you have my upmost respect appreciate each and every video you've made it look forward to them in the Future thank you
I accidentally came across this channel. Love it! What a hard working young man, and hard working family. I am learning a lot. Thank you for sharing, I’ve been binge watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
Built our first cold freestall barn in 1970 and added adjoining cold freestall/feederbarn in 79. Had electric heated waters witch gave us no problems. The problem was ice around the fountains and the cows were afraid to use them. During long cold spells, 2 or 3 weeks below freezing with most nights negative degrees. We had to rent a air hammer to remove the ice and manure around them. One winter it 3 times. The 80s winters in Wi.were brutal. “Great videos”.
This has to be one of the few farming channels that I've enjoyed watching. Not many people understand what kind of all day everyday work goes into dairy or any kind of farming. Keep up the videos.
Love your videos how u do everything with love and how u treat them and love them that's just awesome all around thank u for sharing your time and dedication 🙏 God bless your heart and family and ur farm
Coming to this late, but at those temps I think you need a scarf or knit halfmask and maybe a pair of safety goggles for the sawdust. Halfmasks are made of the same material as your beanie, but cover the neck up to the nose/ears line. Been meaning to buy one, seen them at HD in winter near the entrances in the cardboard displays. Fun to watch this in the summer.
I’m catching up on some videos!! Oh the joys of doing an oil change in the cold!!! I hated replacing things in the open fields. Worked part time for a repair company. Got to know a lot of farmers and families!! Became great friends with them!!! I still cook for a family BBQ. 300lbs of meat.. and three pigs. Start at 2:30 am and finish at 11:30 like clockwork.
I’d take weather like that over the snot we have in south western Ontario right now. Rained all day, snow is now slush and ice. I miss the sun. Bedding our open front heifer barn tonight was a miserable crummy job. At least I didn’t have to change doors in haylage silo today. Thanks for your videos, they are well done and enjoyable. You guys look like good good cattlemen. Quiet content cows.
Ohhhh, how I remember the -20/-27 degree temps here in Northern VT Dec 2017-Jan. 2018. That was without the windchill factor!! Thank goodness it hasn’t been as bad this winter.
Thanks for sharing enjoy watching really hate the cold weather but I guess watching somebody else fight like we have to I guess misery likes company :-) :-)
I remember we always liked to sort heifers when the manure was frozen. I guess we figured less chance they slip. The shed was the same design but we didn’t have the grooves cut in the floor.
You look a little bit like Parker Snaible from "Gold Rush" with your hoodie pulled over. I say that with the upmost amount of respect. Parker is a hard working young man, just like yourself.
Dude you are putting out some great videos, i know its probably hard work on top of everything else you have to do but I hope you can keep it up! Looks like the growth of your subscriber list shows that too! good luck man!
These older videos from before I found your channel are excellent. The farm has come a long way in a short time. I see a young boy named Jack in your future. 😃 haha. Cheers 🇨🇦
On our sliding doors like you have on cattle sheds we cut the bottom 4-6” off moved the 2x6 up and put a piece of old conveyor belt on the bottom it keeps the wind out on the bottom yet and if it freezes to the ground it pops right off with ease
Good videos man! We have a dairy in Lancaster Ohio! We had nasty snow and sub zero temps past few days. Got rain today it was nice out lol cows don’t mind
So been watching for quite awhile I enjoy the farm I grew up on one, but didn't have as much responsibility as you I was young. Anyway it gets just as cold here and I see you working on alot of heavy equipment. I was thinking you should make yourself a 3-5ft leverage bar. One that fits over the socket wrenches or something you may need just a little more help with, like the bolt you had to pull out of the tractor hitch and weld in some spacers to make a tighter fit. I carry one w/me in my trunk and it gets used almost every time I work on my car. Just a thought and always be safe/best wishes.
In the heifer barn are the slates up front where you cleaned off where the door was opened that you used a bar to get it to shut are those heifer stalls cement floor a couple of inches higher the slats to the back of the stall ? And when its frozen out do you haul dry manure more than to pile it up ? And how often do you haul liquid manure 2x a year or more. We always hauled spring and fall and planted oats 10 -20 Acres on ground that needed fertilizer and once the oats were out we hauled our piles out and hauled some liquid manure also.
Hi there. You showed up in my recommended yesterday, and ever since I’m hooked. I assume that you somehow beat the algorithm and showed up on a bunch of other people’s as well. Kudos to your father for supporting your RUclips endeavors. I’m sure that him being from the older generation may have trouble understanding the new fangled RUclipss. I just picture you trying to set up a tripod while your father is just standing there and waiting to do some important job. Anyway, thanks for the videos. Starting to really appreciate where my food comes from. Love to your family from Chicago.
I work on a dairy farm in Michigan. We have about 100 cows that we milk. There's nothing worse then milking and scraping when it's cold. It was -13 Monday morning when we started milking
Do you put Oil in the filter before putting it on? I reason it saturates the filter prior to starting the engine, Helps get oil to where it needs to go quicker. Not sure if it makes a difference but it doesn't take too long and may save on a little cylinder wear.
Just subscribed and started watching a few days ago. Must have watched 20 videos or so. Never been on a farm or knew anything about dairy farming. Great videos!!
Love your videos! Can you add notes on the video with the times? I always wonder how early it is when you start working and when your out with sun and what time it is when you stop working. I love your videos!!!
Your videos are well produced and with zero bullshit which makes them enjoyable to watch. Wow what a huge investment in equipment. You're in Pennsylvania right? I hope milk prices are good enough for you to continue the life you love
Hahaha wrong fluid lol, I like the was you make your videos you're just you in them, I'm from Guyana and I love your video nice farm I'm learning a few things too keep up the good works, you're also a very hard worker too.
You have a really nice farm and I watch all your videos all the time from Ottawa Ontario Canada which is Canada’s capital and we have a main farm in Ottawa called experimental farm
This is the type of reality TV worth watching. Not all the other scripted garbage out there. Love the videos. Thanks!
It's nice to see other farmers, how they do their daily chores... we did pretty good this year, especially with all the new farm help... Best thing our neighbors sold us their land, thats really going to help us out even more... they decided to retire from everything, their family didn't care to farm, and grand kids didn't want to either... we just grew with 3000 ACHRES more, AWESOME... take care and don't forget to bundle up in the winter...
GOD Bless you! OH , how I hated those bitter, cold Pennsylvania mornings! Dad always went out EARLY, to tend to the cows and horses! I felt so sorry for all of them!
God Bless Y’all for all the hard work you put into taking care of your cows so that others have food! Amazed and impressed by farmers!

Wants not necessities
Chris D -if by wants you mean food that keeps you from starving to death then yes.
How many cows do you milk each day if that is not a prohibited or poor taste question. You are very impressive. A wonderful video. Very well made.

Eric, you show lots of enthusiasm all you do.
Blessings upon you.

Great video to watch in spite of the cold weather you must deal with. Your positive attitude is wonderful.
The Mountain Dew jokes catch me so off guard. Super funny
As a dairy farmer I enjoy watching these videos from Ireland, no shortage of work.
yea indeed dairy farmer from croatia here
You & your Dad do more work in the morning than most people do all day. Great work ethic 👍
Oil for the machines - mt. dew for the soul.

Great channel. My family on both sides farmed and I used to work for several farmers-small grains, cows, sheep, sugar beets, potatoes in my area. I miss it very much. Awesome to see a successful family operation.
ALOHA from Hawaii & OREGON
GREAT JOB
I really don't like the cold the older I get. Strangely this video makes me miss Farming. The struggles are real. Great video.
Looks like one of those days where you warm your hands up on the skid loader’s exhaust pipe every 15 minutes
True.
Dairy Farming in windy below zero winter weather, oh how I remember those days. Thanks for posting these videos
I'm thankful for you making the videos I know the hard work that goes into it after working as hard as you do take the time and still make these videos find incredible it is so refreshing to see young men working hard something you don't see anymore you have my upmost respect appreciate each and every video you've made it look forward to them in the Future thank you

Wow that is very cold. Thankfully we don't usually have long consistent cold spells here
I don’t remember the year, we had 8 or 9 days continuous, it didn’t got to 0.
This has to be one of the few farming channels that I've enjoyed watching. Not many people understand what kind of all day everyday work goes into dairy or any kind of farming. Keep up the videos.
Keep up all the work u do I deliver hay full time and always busy working
Love your videos how u do everything with love and how u treat them and love them that's just awesome all around thank u for sharing your time and dedication 🙏 God bless your heart and family and ur farm
I love his refridge has lots of good stuff. Warn Hot Choc. for him.... Wonderful guy!!! Yes these people are the BEST...
After living in Northern Minnesota for 45 years I don't miss the cold now that I live in Georgia. Now the bite of that cold.
Its make LIFE so much harder when its freezin. Greetings from a dutch dairyfarmer
Loving your videos keep it up and stay warm
Minus 31 Celsius and minus 42 with wind chill today in Manitoba Canada
Coming to this late, but at those temps I think you need a scarf or knit halfmask and maybe a pair of safety goggles for the sawdust.

subscribed today...very relaxing before bed....Helps me sleep. Thanks
I have started at the beginning of your videos so I don’t miss any.
PROUD OF YOU, I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS ON THE FARM
Great video! Keep warm and healthy❗ 🙂🙂 👍👍👍
Nice, neat looking farm and great looking cattle. Just found another channel to watch!
I’m catching up on some videos!! Oh the joys of doing an oil change in the cold!!! I hated replacing things in the open fields. Worked part time for a repair company. Got to know a lot of farmers and families!! Became great friends with them!!! I still cook for a family BBQ. 300lbs of meat.. and three pigs. Start at 2:30 am and finish at 11:30 like clockwork.
I find your videos calming. Thanks. I’ve been watching Cody Creelman. I think you would like his videos.
I’d take weather like that over the snot we have in south western Ontario right now. Rained all day, snow is now slush and ice. I miss the sun. Bedding our open front heifer barn tonight was a miserable crummy job. At least I didn’t have to change doors in haylage silo today. Thanks for your videos, they are well done and enjoyable.

Thank you!
I love your video s and you inspired me to start a little farmet thank you for being the person that you are
Ohhhh, how I remember the -20/-27 degree temps here in Northern VT Dec 2017-Jan. 2018. That was without the windchill factor!! Thank goodness it hasn’t been as bad this winter.
You’re an amazing kid!! Where were the men like you when I was young?
Thanks for sharing enjoy watching really hate the cold weather but I guess watching somebody else fight like we have to I guess misery likes company :-) :-)
Love your vids... you’re very cute and the cows are too!
I remember we always liked to sort heifers when the manure was frozen. I guess we figured less chance they slip. The shed was the same design but we didn’t have the grooves cut in the floor.
Good video to show how any chore in freezing temperatures takes twice as long on a farm
You look a little bit like Parker Snaible from "Gold Rush" with your hoodie pulled over. I say that with the upmost amount of respect. Parker is a hard working young man, just like yourself.
Dude you are putting out some great videos, i know its probably hard work on top of everything else you have to do but I hope you can keep it up! Looks like the growth of your subscriber list shows that too! good luck man!
Your farm looks huge!
These older videos from before I found your channel are excellent. The farm has come a long way in a short time.

Nice clean farm, I like it!
Ours would look like that but we started 3yrs ago
Watching all of the farm videos is awesome 😎 keep up the good work don’t forget to drink lots of water
On our sliding doors like you have on cattle sheds we cut the bottom 4-6” off moved the 2x6 up and put a piece of old conveyor belt on the bottom it keeps the wind out on the bottom yet and if it freezes to the ground it pops right off with ease
Good idea

I subscribed to your chanell and love watching your videos.
I like your videos bud. I work on a dairy farm as well. We unthaw water bowls quite a bit during the winter . Gets real cold where I am.
Dairyman your doing a great job with the videos.

Nic work bro & it's a very HiTech

Enjoying your vids im a herdsmen on a similar sized farm in ontario. And cold always causes issues but thats the life.
On frozen pens at the sale barn, I bought a bucket with teeth on it, I tell ya it makes a big difference. Scraping frozen pens so easy.
Great video.we are at the other extreme in australia at the moment 43c today and 46c tomorrow cows are feeling the heat
Wow that's very warm. Not sure which is worse
I work on a dairy farm in Michigan. We have about 100 cows that we milk. There's nothing worse then milking and scraping when it's cold. It was -13 Monday morning when we started milking
Very cold!
very nice dairy farm
