Rolling Cold: Subzero Temps - MF 7616, Vermeer BPX9000

[@junior-xi8ys]

Your dad did an excellent job telling what was going on

[@nathanryan3961]

Nice to hear your dad talking about the cattle. Thanks

[@caydenwells8074]

I appreciate your dad helping in the vlog today he did great 👍

[@farmingnodak]

He was the one that wanted to take pictures of the steam and dust, so I gave him my phone and gopro. Actually didn't expect ramblings from him.

[@austinseubert6047]

I make my dad stand out in the cold while I sit the tractor too lol Good job to your dad for helping u film and giving commentary

[@dlfarms4125]

A lot of respect for the older men that get out in that kind of weather. Good job pops

[@farmingnodak]

We take turns... I usually operate the Massey and he runs the Allis or the payloader.

[@clintwalton319]

Be sure to tell your daddy thanks from us! He did a great job! Y’all stay warm! Thanks for sharing!

[@Jim0i0]

Good job dad. Some beautiful long shots that you just can't shoot solo. It was also really nice to hear his narration.

[@farmingnodak]

I never got a chance to see what it actually looked like in person. He actually was the one that wanted some footage of this, so I gave him my phone and gopro.

[@timm4620]

Big props to your dad. He did a helluva job. Gotta love the ol polar vortex

[@farmingnodak]

Keep the global warming enthusiasts silent for a while.

[@leol1682]

Like the video Dad very good info on the hay and the shreded vemeer .stay worm guy's .

[@perryc8943]

Well we know where you get your great camera work from. And if your dad would could he tell his experience from the snow storms in 1966. I heard they had drifts as high as telephone poles in North Dakota that year.

[@farmingnodak]

Both my parents have stories, not just from '66, but a few others since they started farming full-time. They've had some rough winters in their past.

[@haroldsmith45302]

Good camera work and narration by the patriarch. More please.

[@farmingnodak]

We'll see. May not be too often, but I'll try.

[@DLKHAY]

always good to have a fresh perspective

[@farmingnodak]

An unexpected on at that too. He wanted to take pictures of the steam and dust coming off of the tractor in the sunlight... so I gave him my phone and gopro, and did not expect a voice-over lol. He did a lot better than me!

[@Speedster-hu5cu]

Thanks pops for doing the video.....

[@tlowevpnv]

Nice job dad you did a very good job.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Pops did a great job on the vid

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Its been plenty cold! My uncle and cousin fish on Lake Sakakawea and with this cold they should have plenty of ice!

[@farmingnodak]

Don't think there's much snow there either. Everything is froze solid after this past week.

[@Dan.Whiteford]

Excellent narration from your Dad, I like the analogy of the effort to eating long sticks of celery compared to short sticks. Quick question, What would you do to feed hay if you could not get the tractor and bale processor to start / work one day?

[@farmingnodak]

We'd have to try the other tractor (whether be the Allis or the Massey, pending on which doesn't have a problem :/ ). Since my brother left his Bobcat here for now, we could use the skidsteer too. If all else fails, we could get the payloader out, but hate to do it when it's so cold. If all else fails, would have to call a neighbor if is possible but I'd rather not think about that.... that would be a very bad week. I haven't showed it yet, but we have plugged in the other tractor a couple times just in case if something happened.

[@carlwolf4865]

Yeah good job your dad did, you should have him do more !

[@farmingnodak]

If he wants to, it's up to him.

[@donald1056]

-22 degrees with wind chill or without

[@farmingnodak]

Without. Since the wind was light, the chill wasn't as bad, but I think it still registered at -38F windchill.

[@budlefebvre8811]

Do you feed corn during the cold weather? I was also wondering if the cows get frost bite?

[@farmingnodak]

Every now and then cows will get corn... haven't had to this year with the Sweet Yellow Clover we have for them that makes for a nice tasty treat for a few days. They could get frost bite I suppose, but never had it happen. They are resilient critters. The main thing is shelter from the wind, enough food and water. Having some bedding and sunlight is a plus. We've been checking them every day to make sure no one is looking ill or thin. We did bring one cow home a couple days ago, as was looking thin. She can get some rations of corn and able to monitor her better.

[@budlefebvre8811]

We had -34 here in 92 I think it was and I had a terrible time with frost bite. Your dad did a great job filming and I enjoyed his commentary.

[@MrJgl81]

Wow, I thought the 4 below zero windchill we had in Tennessee was bad.

[@farmingnodak]

Don't forget some of the Canadian youtubers. Our -24F low temp here is their high temp for the day.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

since you are 4G Farming I guess that makes your dad 3G Farming. tell your dad he did a fine job with the camera and I very much enjoyed hearing what he had to say. see if you can get him more involved with your KZbin channel. thanks.. :)
