This 2 video experience is and has been a great service to the farming community. We just had an identical experience. Saved us a lot of work. Thank you very much for sharing all this great info.
My hats off to you. Any person that is willing to admit their mistakes is comfortable in their own skin. Sadly, today it seems when mistakes are made it's always something or someone else's fault.
that is because society mercily hits you on the head when you admit mistakes. We are being socialized in a way that you cannot do that anymore because we have to fear long term consquences :/ My former boss was alwys like: You reflect so much. That's such a strength .... and it got me nothing. The promotion I was supposed to get? Nope... :) F*** those corporate clowns.
Good lad Evan, and Rebecca playing her part in supporting you. Your honest smile makes you stand out as someone who tries to do what is right, but everyday is a school day. Best regards from Scotland.
I so admire someone who can smile and say "I made a mistake". Everyone does but some just choke on the words. It was a very nice video. For some strange reason it is so satisfying to watch a mess being cleaned up.
Oh I was so excited to see you both working hard to get off bad hay, but I could almost cry seeing those bails falling apart on you. So hope one day you’ll be able to get a new hay bailer. Hope you get time to cut back all those trees before the next cutting. keep up the good work. Rebekah you did well driving the tractor. Even you have a beautiful wife that can do and help out with everything as well your amazing Rebekah. I love watching your videos and seeing you Beth work together is great. Your my number one favourite to watch the top of my list to watch.
You are a good farmer. Weather is so not predictable. God bless your hard work. Growing up on a 50-acre working farm myself, I can appreciate what you are going thru.
Hi..... Country View Acres - Evan and Rebecca nice to see you both love watching your videos, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken Duck Goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐖🐐🐄🐠🏡🎥👍👍👍
It has tons of usage. Even poor farmers will buy it. Use for bedding, land erosion and decorative hay bales as well. Just gotta think outside the box. Hope you had a Great Father's Day. Both you and your Dad.
@@mmm365 I have been wondering that myself. As i told my sister years ago. I say to both male and female. We all have kids in our lives we care for. So I say to them all Happy Mother's or Father's day when it rolls around. I have been father to 5 kids and don't have any biological of my own. Going on 60

My friend, I am almost 70 years old and have been baling hay since before I was old enough to drive and I'll have to admit that you have probably more determination than anyone I've ever seen. You know that old super 78 bailer has got to have everything just right for it to work. I have had a couple of them and you need to keep the knives sharp, make sure all the bearings are good, look at your knoters and make sure there's no groove worn into them that's the quickest way to break a bail. When you sharpening knives make sure you sharpening both and try to keep them as close as you can to even.
Rebecca, My Dad baled a skunk once! The skunks final act was to empty his scent glands. For a long time afterwards, you could always tell when Dad worked on the baler. He had a certain "air" about him!😄
No apologies needed. No use kicking yourself. You did not yell or take the frustration out on anyone. You learned the right way. You figured out how to fix what needed fixing. You did a great job!
Evan I am impressed that you do whatever it takes to get the job done. Sorry about the rain ruining your hay but I think you made the right decision to get the hay off the field. Thanks for all the good videos.
Evan, I admire your calm demeanor and positive attitude when things go wrong. I also enjoy how you talk through what, how, and why you do what you do. Keep up the great work!
Just a positive thought. A bad day on the farm is better than any day in suburbia. Every day you get up on a property that is beautiful. I will say I'm jealous.
Don't get discouraged, your doing your best! Videos are really great, super drone footage, and your REAL. No fluff, just honest, hard working people. I look forward to every video!😁
Good job showing how life gives us lemons sometimes. I am proud of the way you handled a difficult situation. My hats off to you and Rebecca. Mike from Denver and see
You absolutely did the right thing getting the junk hay out. All of the trouble was nothing compared to what you would have faced if you left it out there!
When you limb up your trees, limb them up to 10 feet, that should give you room for next time. Good job you guys! Proud of you! You are learning so much!
Nice shirt, Evan...there is a whole lot of construction knowledge and skill in that family. I used to live up in IL, Dixon was my favorite place of the three places I lived up there. Nice little town, and their Petunia Festival is always a good time. Stay safe you all!
Evan don’t beat yourself up. You are a brave and forthright man in admitting your mistakes especially to an audience on RUclips 😊. It’s all experience and learning, you have taken away a valuable lesson and the best lessons are learned from going through the grief and coming out with a ‘let it go attitude’ and moving on. Well done to Rebecca for getting in the tractor and driving. It’s difficult with dogs running around but they are young and quick.
I guess you are learning the best way cause you will never do it again. We are lucky to learn with you cause you are enough generous to share with us. Thank you.
My Great grandfather told me that you never stop learning and he was 93 while I was 16 years old, the best advice I was ever given I'm now 66 myself. If you ask or listen you will be given all the information you want/need. Well done on hearing what everyone let you now know. Keep up the videos and don't be discouraged by all of the comments.
Things are hard sometimes but I believe you made the right call getting that off the field. Plus you could use it for bedding or compost like you said. Your doing great brother!
Hi Evan, Who said farming was easy, especially with older equipment? Your absolutely right to have a positive outlook, it will all come together in the end it always does. As you said hopefully you can work all the problems out now before 2nd cut. Thank you for sharing all your ups and downs, to many only show the highlights and good times.
It’s so enjoyable to watch someone farming ( as my dad was a farmer) without swearing and using foul language. Hang in there you’ll still come up smiling 😊
Learning the hard way seems to be the only way I learn. It's refreshing to see people who aren't afraid to show their mistakes. It helps us all learn. Thanks for your open and honest videos
I don't look at it as a mistake, the weather information was wrong and not in your favour as you thought it would be and the implement failures were beyond your control as you serviced them before use plus Rebeca gained confidence in handling the tractor and you put together a very entertaining video, I think the good parts win hands down, keep em coming Evan
Hey, Evan and Rebecca, I love your videos. You guys have put so much work into your farm over the past two years. I don't know where you find all the energy. I don't think I had that kind of energy even when I was your age (I'm about to turn 75). Good thing you are mechanically inclined, so you can do your own equipment repairs. I just read through all the comments on this video and the last to see what people are advising you, some constructive, some bonehead. My advice to you is try the things that sound like they might work for you and ignore the rest. You are a quick learner, whether from reading instructions or finding things out the hard way by making mistakes. I like it when you show your errors and think out loud how you'll correct them. All while working a full-time job off the farm. You are a phenomenon!
In 26 years of bailing hay with basically the exact same equipment as you, except for a JD tractor, I had four seasons where everything worked flawlessly! That being said, I did get faster and faster making repairs! lol
I know this video is from 2 years ago. But since I am a new subscriber. I am still catching up by watching your early ones. My what a frustrating time you had with this rained on hay. Back when I was farming, I had this happen to me several times too. It is one of the biggest challenges in farming. Deciding when to cut hay, how to get it dried and baled before rains. You always try your best. You constantly listen to all of the weather forecasts. Work day & night. And then sometimes you still lose it to rain. Since I was a dairy farmer. I had a forage chopper. This allowed me to just chop the hay and blow it back onto the field. A regular forage chopper cuts hay up as fine as 1” in length. Then you position the discharge spout of the chopper at 90 degrees from the windrows as you drive. And it also helps to do it on a windy day. This always worked good for me. So if there is a next time for you on this issue. You might try to find a neighbor that has an old hay chopper to borrow or rent. But I hope you never lose another crop. Some of my other options for wet hay. I would just bale it up a little tuff. Then feed those bales out to my cows right away. Or, I spread the bales out in the barn set up on edge. This allowed the moisture to escape as they dried down. I think you have a round baler. You can typically bale at higher moistures with a round baler. Bottom line is you must get the old hay off of the fields. I really admire your determination and humble spirit. We all make mistakes. And most times they were the best teacher for me. Thanks & have a blessed weekend!
It's hard to run that old crap thru any baler but now you can use it to mulch around the new building after you back fill . That little that's left on the field won't hurt and will help retain moisture you guys make a good team my hats off to you
You are going to make it. You are keeping an open mind and listening to others advice and you learned a valuable lesson and you made the best of the situation. I am sorry this happened to you but you are coming through with flying colors.
This vlog right here is exactly why we love to watch you guys .... Don't be to discouraged or kick yourself to much.. Anyone that's worked hay has had things like this mount up and make for a horrible week trying to save your hay field.. And if they say they haven't they're either lying or very lucky.. 😂.. Anyways way to stick with it.. It's how we learn the ta dos and the ta donts
I've seen hay get wet and ruined before. It's not a new thing. You got some good advice and you've learned. Never a bad thing to learn. Now you can try to not make the same mistake again.
I feel for you, been there done that, hang in there things will get easier as you grow into doing this. I've been doing this since 1970 and let me tell you I have made my fair share of mistakes, and more. Thanks have a great Sunday!
that is true, but since it was her first-ahh 2nd time even baling-i think she done good. i was thinking while he was raking them split bales, he should of made the rows a bit smaller in the beginning. but hey if ya never did it before-u gotta learn somewhere-right
Awesome to see someone from my state running their own farm and explaining everything. New subscriber and big fan. I don’t get to see stuff like this up near Chicago where I’m from. Keep up the work and putting out videos.
I'm really sorry about the extra work but this was the best idea. Seeing the amount of hay remaining even after bush hogging showed the need to remove the bad hay. Blessings from New Orleans.
I had the advantage of coming from several generations of farmers and I grew up farming which made it a lot easier for me when I started farming. Experience is priceless 👍😉
Evan, Sure glad to see you removed that rain-spoiled hay. There are many uses for "mulch" hay; erosion control, weed suppression, road side re-seeding, bedding, etc. You can sell it provided buyer understands that it's not feed quality. So good job...enjoy your videos.
Your problems remind me of a very good friend I had when we lived in Oklahoma. He always said, if I wasn't having hell with it it wouldn't be mine. You guys work very hard and do good work, love watching you, keep up the great work.
You are doing the right thing here. Not only would it be difficult to cut the next cutting, it will stunt the next crop too. You may still get a few cents a bale if you try to sell it. My Dad would let it go for a buck a bale and it always seemed to disappear.
Good call Evan, and you have a great attitude about it. Glad you got it off the field because you may very well have picked up a lot of that old stuff and mixed it in with your second cutting. As always, I enjoy your content and hope you and Rebecca have a great week!
We all are humbled by Mother Nature, keep up the good work. Messicks parts if you don’t have a NH dealer close by. They also have the parts diagram on there website.
Hope you have it worked out Evan, Rebecca did a good job driving the tractor!! Hope you both have a great second cutting !! Thanks for sharing with us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
This is easier than trying to bale it by yourself like last year, could you not use the hay for bedding like straw, it’s poor quality hay but not mouldy just hate to see the hay being composted. Thumbs up to Rebecca who did well running the tractor especially since it was only the second time. If you can see a larger brake shop, they can make the discs. Wish I were there to try to give you a hand, one thing, you’re like me, I always learned by the school of hard knocks. Someone once said you can’t buy experience but it’s expensive. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming.
Love your on-time videos and the fact that you read and learn from the commenters! So many youtubers are so far behind with their vids, they make horrible errors in their projects and nobody can help. Glad you decided to bail up the hay, I don't know anything about it but it was obvious from the comments that it was the thing to do. Good job!
Evan and Rebecca. My heart goes out to both of you. You do an amazing job of holding your heads up and persevering. Feels like you’re being kicked when down. I admire you both so much. Praying for things to go better. ❤️
Hey .. you're doing great .. we all make so called "mistakes", non of us is an expert .. and Mother Nature has her own twisted sense of humor to give us good lessons whenever she wants to have some fun .. teaching and making us wiser .. and that's a good thing, right :)) What always impresses me in those videos the most - it's your positive attitude, Evan, no matter what .. good energy, which radiates from your doings thousands of miles away .. and that's the thing which also keeps me motivated to do stuff which I sometimes just wouldn't bother to do .. lazy old dog as I am :))

Rebecca I am so proud of you!! You're amazing and a great example of a farmers wife!
Love how instead of ignoring everyone you actually listened, humble and eager to learn from others. Admirable!
Keep it all up bud!
That's very rare here on the Tube. Good people.
Tom and Charlie Silva like your shirt as do I.
Nice job Rebekah.

I so admire someone who can smile and say "I made a mistake". Everyone does but some just choke on the words. It was a very nice video. For some strange reason it is so satisfying to watch a mess being cleaned up.
We put bad hay in the heads of ravines, gullies, etc. It controls erosion and eventually composts and fills the area in.
Oh I was so excited to see you both working hard to get off bad hay, but I could almost cry seeing those bails falling apart on you. So hope one day you’ll be able to get a new hay bailer. Hope you get time to cut back all those trees before the next cutting. keep up the good work. Rebekah you did well driving the tractor.

I'd use that hay as bedding as it will decompose quicker and then you won't need to buy bedding materials
Only if it doesn't have any mold on it
Won't be much mold on it after hitting it with the mower and the rake.

You guys are learning the hard way, but at the end, you will be so knowledgable. We are behing you, keep the faith.
You have a bunch of folks that care watching!
You can use the bad hay for bedding, filling in washouts, for sitting places around the camp fire, etc.
Experience is the best teacher.
Just a positive thought. A bad day on the farm is better than any day in suburbia. Every day you get up on a property that is beautiful. I will say I'm jealous.

Restoring that baler sounds like a good winter project

SO GOOD THAT YOU LISTEN TO OTHER FARMERS. I'M NOT A FARMER. BUT I READ SOME GOOD COMMENT ON WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. !!!

The driver needs to adjust their speed when the baler approaches a big lump of hay, even stop if necessary. That should save a few shear bolts.
that is true, but since it was her first-ahh 2nd time even baling-i think she done good. i was thinking while he was raking them split bales, he should of made the rows a bit smaller in the beginning. but hey if ya never did it before-u gotta learn somewhere-right

Nice video. Getting the hay off the field will help your next cutting a lot. Way to go Rebecca! Teamwork on a farm is essential.
This is easier than trying to bale it by yourself like last year, could you not use the hay for bedding like straw, it’s poor quality hay but not mouldy just hate to see the hay being composted. Thumbs up to Rebecca who did well running the tractor especially since it was only the second time. If you can see a larger brake shop, they can make the discs. Wish I were there to try to give you a hand, one thing, you’re like me, I always learned by the school of hard knocks. Someone once said you can’t buy experience but it’s expensive. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming.

Love your on-time videos and the fact that you read and learn from the commenters! So many youtubers are so far behind with their vids, they make horrible errors in their projects and nobody can help. Glad you decided to bail up the hay, I don't know anything about it but it was obvious from the comments that it was the thing to do. Good job!
Great job you 2 it looks good!! Y'all did awesome!!! Love the video
Evan and Rebecca. My heart goes out to both of you. You do an amazing job of holding your heads up and persevering. Feels like you’re being kicked when down. I admire you both so much. Praying for things to go better. ❤️
Experts make it look easy. Becoming expert is long and hard. You're doing well.
g,day guys, you two are a great team, we all learn on our daley lives, a big Aussie Pat on the Back Mate cheers from Australia...
Hey .. you're doing great .. we all make so called "mistakes", non of us is an expert .. and Mother Nature has her own twisted sense of humor to give us good lessons whenever she wants to have some fun .. teaching and making us wiser .. and that's a good thing, right :))
What always impresses me in those videos the most - it's your positive attitude, Evan, no matter what .. good energy, which radiates from your doings thousands of miles away .. and that's the thing which also keeps me motivated to do stuff which I sometimes just wouldn't bother to do .. lazy old dog as I am :))
Evan, I admire your ability to deal with adversity.
