It always amazes me how hard people work for so little return. Interesting video. Maybe you should start your own business like that to grind down the corn. Sell that new buggy. 😂
In America we call what you made ( grits ) I like it very much we eat it for breakfast with butter on it. Of course you made yours and we buy ours at the store. Yours is probably better cause it's made with love.
When I was a kid I would go in the local farmers field and husk dried corn with my buddy. We’d spend hours there and get a few bags of corn. We’d basically just throw it around when we were done. I was a bad kid. 😂
I truly love watching your whole clan working together. The kids are playing, the older ones are working. I do not see having small talks though or gossiping..LOL..
When you grow vegetables, it's important to get rid of the weeds around your plants because the weeds take water away from what you are trying to grow.
Sophia was very quiet, by her standard. Couldn't get out of there fast enough and go with sister Crist back to her house. Probably heard about the new smart TV from Rhiane and Samantha! Nice dog. Is that Gino the dog?
Americans have a food called Corn Bread. It uses the coarser ground flour. Very, very tasty. And easy to make. Also, in the south they make grits with the coarse corn. Super easy breakfast that keeps you going. Also, if you aren't going to compost the corncobs, pigs love them. 👍
@@filipinalifethe grits is similar to the way you the maize for eating instead of rice. But cooked with more water. Wet like cream of wheat or oatmeal. Very tasty with butter and salt.
I don't think you have told us your Auntie's name yet. She is often in your videos, and I would like to know her name please. Keep up the good work and God Bless everybody
Totally agree. Sophia wants to be with the big girls. She has going to get very bored, very quickly........unless that big brain of hers is kept busy, learning new things. I suggested to Crishel she send Sophia to preschool but Crishel wants to wait another year, apparently.
Poor Sophia,,😥😢😭 she wanted her Mumai and her Sam ❤ that was an interesting process,,lots of hard work for not much return. Here is a little secret. When saving corn to plant again,,you dont want to save the stunted deformed tiny corn cobs,,you'll just get more stunted deformed corn. You need to save big healthy,,full of kernels ears. When you save the right ears,,you can breed that crappy stunted stuff out in 4 or 5 years. ❤❤❤ take care swee tee Ttyl,,,Marlon
Wow interesting but I'm not going to plant corn again it cost too much than what we get. Also takes so much space at the farm next project is vegetables.
@@filipinalife I think I'd plant enough sweet corn for the family to have some. Good thing about corn,,,it should grow in the rocks if it has enough soil to take root. I have a buddy that farms 500 hectare of corn for animal feed,,its cool because its completely automated. The harvester machine even strips the corn from the ear. I'd have fun farming with you,,,you know things I dont and I know things that you dont. I know it's something you can never afford,,but I'd rent a mini excavator for a week and get rid of tons of rocks and alot of brush. Lol it's fun to dream 🤪🥳❤❤
The mini excavator hire is a great idea imo. Crishel could form the path properly using the small rocks, as she said it's about 100 metres to the road. Not sure about the large rocks......but could make a fantastic rock garden on the sloping area......and stop the tropical rain rushing down at speed!@@mtnmandeluxe5429
Since you don't use the chicken eggs, only for meat, have you thought about raising rabbits over there? Rabbit tastes almost exactly like chicken (I think better) and can produce quite a bit more meat. Also can eat exclusively vegitation you can just go and cut wild. And their poo is some of the best fertilizer in the world.
@neilgunns8391 Maybe you can't... If you ever tasted fried rabbit you would think differently. Besides, goats and sheep are cute. Little pigs are adorable. They all taste really good.
Use new seed. You have a lot of cross pollination going on. You have no idea what will actually grow from any of your collected seed. Also, and I say this politely, we wouldn't even bother with a fieldcorn crop that stunted wouldn't be worth the labor or the fuel. There are dozens, if not hundredes of varities of corn that would return 5 to 10 tomes that yield. Do a quick search online and you should easily find a better seed. It requires the same amount of work to harvest at 50 tons/acre as 120 tons/acre. And the small amount you use should be pretty affordable. Use a glass container with a good sealing lid to keep seed corn. Dim/dark place. Will keep for years. And again, I highly encourage you to not plant seed from your crop.
@@Fitzaism I think anybody trying to learn that I can help, I should try to help. That family doesn't have te resources to make many mistakes. Hell, no family does. So I try to help when I think I can. She gives the most honest and true blog I have ever seen. No fluffy lies, no fancy edits. Just her real (hard) actual life. Often people far away have ways of doing something you had never even thought of. So for everything I try to show her a possible better way, she has shown me at least as many. I think that whole family is awesome. And if I can guide them a bit, it is me who gets the reward. Not everyone grew up with horses pulling the equipment. My father did. And I tried to learn as much as I could. There are a thousand ways to do something. Finding what works best for you can only happen if you know about all those ways. They are trying to farm in a lava field. They need all the help any of us can give.
@goatman3828 I agree with you Goatman. The family lost money on the fishpond adventure. On top of that, RUclips takes 30 per cent of the RUclips earnings each month and then there is a growing Sophia to feed and clothe. Not easy. As far as I know, Crishel gets zero child support from the American father of Sophia which is a crime in itself. I help where I can with money via PayPal, as Sophia is a beautiful child and is not going to wanting as long as I am still above the ground and working. I see you trying to help Crishel with your farming knowledge. I wasn't meaning to be critical. Sorry.
@@Fitzaism Didn't take it as critical. Was just trying to explain. There are a LOT of creepy guys doing backhanded things on the internet. Just wanted to be clear that I am not one of those.
Your family is the hardest working family I’ve ever seen
Yes we are.. hehe
sophia was doing corn better than everybody else😂
Hahaha
I owned a small rice mill in Leyte long ago
8:02 Choppable...whatever...ha ha 😆🤣
Hahaha
Grits is life here.
Love grits
Corn meal makes very good bread
😊
yes girls is farm is start you big job,,,,,,,keiti umeki japan
I was waiting to see the miracle of converting corn to rice. I have never known anybody with such a skill.
Haha
It always amazes me how hard people work for so little return. Interesting video. Maybe you should start your own business like that to grind down the corn. Sell that new buggy. 😂
Hahahaha this is expensive corn milling. I am not sure how much this machine cost though but for sure expensive.

Hahaha that's probably true.

I definitely had blisters also.
Why would you throw them ?
Corn fights. Considering how long it took us it seems ridiculous now. 😂
I truly love watching your whole clan working together. The kids are playing, the older ones are working. I do not see having small talks though or gossiping..LOL..
Yes we teach the kids at early age here.
Enjoy sesh awww
Nice rice!
Fascinating 😊
Thank you 😊
When you grow vegetables, it's important to get rid of the weeds around your plants because the weeds take water away from what you are trying to grow.
You mean grass. Yes as of this moment we are cleaning the area to prepare for vegetables farming.
Sophia was very quiet, by her standard. Couldn't get out of there fast enough and go with sister Crist back to her house. Probably heard about the new smart TV from Rhiane and Samantha! Nice dog. Is that Gino the dog?
That's my aunties dog.
I sent a small contribution last night. Sophia deserves a toy for her vlogging efforts this past week!+😅@filipinalife

Haha her name is auntie Diding and she's single hehe
Awww, don't separate the sisters (cousins). Sophia wants to be with her sisters.
Totally agree. Sophia wants to be with the big girls. She has going to get very bored, very quickly........unless that big brain of hers is kept busy, learning new things. I suggested to Crishel she send Sophia to preschool but Crishel wants to wait another year, apparently.
Yes she really wants to be with them, we need to prioritize Rhiane school though.
@@filipinalife Yes, education is important.
Was all the corn for your own consumption or are you able to sell a surplus?
All for consumption.

Why do you grow lemongrass? Do you eat it?
We put them in soups.

We actually have rabbits before but they are so cute to eat haha.
Yes. I see Mariefel cuddling a rabbit near the end of sister Crist 's latest video on buying school supples😅@filipinalife
I was gonna comment that. You can’t eat a cute bunny wabbit. 😆

I think Crishel is learning as she goes. Personally, I prefer going to the supermarket and buying it there.

@goatman3828 no worries mate! You come across as genuine. Crishel will do well to listen to your advice on farming, imo.
It is impossible to turn corn to rice... it doesn't matter how anyone tries
What do you mean?
@@filipinalife simple corn is corn and rice is rice
She’s referring to the corn that they eat instead of rice. Cooked the same and eaten the same as rice. Maize
