An Experiment In the Hayfield

[@jeanohlerkingflower7284]

Such fun watching your sledge hammer smashing the concrete slabs in slow motion. You got some stinkin' good video work going ✅

[@bebe1658]

It’s so obvious that you love the life that you are living! So happy for you and your family!

[@timothysimon3687]

Crown Vetch has deep root and Bank calling Properties

[@JDR51]

Perfect timing for putting that seed out with this rain we are getting. 👍

[@kazhastell1099]

Good to see the cats are still there great video

[@Ralphcanoeingadventures]

I am amazed to how much work you go through to make your videos. Getting on and off the tractor to set up your camera. I do videos with my canoe. So I know how much work it is. Thank you for working so hard to show us what you do. I watch Pete on his channel. And also Country View Acers. You all work so hard. Thank you so much. Stay safe!

[@suzannesund4595]

Good Morning FTR Family!!! Happy Saturday!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindakinsey1093]

Good job and use of the materials. Thanks. Have a great wet weekend.

[@bobwollard9105]

Glad to see that you had a great day,Tyler. Man, can you swing that hammer. Thor!

[@gregedmand9939]

And... Some video recording worthy of The Slow Mo Guys!

[@AustinPatterson-q1g]

Thanks for sharing farmer Tyler ranch I enjoyed the video

[@cherrydowns7745]

The little looks so lonely! Thank you for sharing your ranch life with us!

[@Alfred19947]

Enjoyed this one FT. Anxious to see how your experiment turns out. Always good to see Littles. Glad you’re spoiling him with alfalfa. He looks better. Too bad you can’t find some company for him. I really like your fix to that swampy area. Thanks for sharing.

[@marciaolson4878]

Morning FT! Lots of things accomplished today as usual! Have a great weekend! God bless!❤❤❤

[@donnaml8776]

Great with the slow motion. It’s really cool 😎. Thanks for showing the cat it’s a beauty. Is that the only cat that’s there now? I hope the others are still around. Thanks for sharing!! Hope you and your family are having a nice weekend. Greetings! 👋🏻

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Good morning. Enjoy all that you share. Has the calf grown noticeably since you've separated him? Have a great weekend.

[@athenarocar]

For the filters list, I take the top of the box for the filter with the numbers and write on the back what vehicle (or equipment) it is for with capacity, put it in a zip lock bag and leave it in the vehicle glove box or in the top of the tool box. All info together in one place. Guess you could also hang the bags on a hook with a binder clip.

[@Julia_Teeker]

That calf is so adorable. He’d probably like to have a name, doncha think? 😂❤

[@Brievel]

That's Littles!

[@cherylrosalis1948]

That bottle calf is so adorable. Alfalfa does smell good.

[@cherylrosalis1948]

Also, the slow motion is a nice touch.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Good to hear your thoughts on improving hay quality and that part of process is networking with your friends. Little seems to like his alfalfa pretty much! The rain is here so glad you got your outside work done! Good update FTR!

[@Therippranch]

This will be fun to see the results!!

[@MillicentAspinet]

Feb. 1, 2025 - Beautiful snow storm in St. Clair County, Michigan! Thanks for the video, Farmer Tyler.

[@shadowlord5574]

I'm also in Michigan, I hope we don't get the snow lol

[@Gods-Elect]

​ sunny here in Grand Rapids Michigan

[@RobertKelley-f1b]

Another bussy day on the farm but everything is looking good have a good day.

[@alleyoop916]

Hi Tyler, Love your videos however find myself disappointed when they are shorter like this one. I look forward to watching you and like seeing you work and complete your projects in a video. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@thurlowfamilyfarm4628]

Dude; I hope you get to keep that LS; it fits your ranch pretty darn good. Also, it’s awesome that you tried the vetch, it’ll be fun to watch. Annual ryegrass would be awesome too, and it makes good feed.

[@williamkeown8252]

If a New Holland filter is 200 I dont want to think what the price would be if you had a John Deere. I worked on several farms when younger and miss working on farm. I enjoy watching your videos and know what you go threw Keep them up

[@jaclynalley809]

I tried some blackeye peas on some newly cleared off pasture in a small area! it really surprised me but the sod is now established and the cows seemed to like it! Im all about experiments....

[@Sharon-g8q5u]

Hi Tyler what great ideas you have and very successful in accomplishing them ,your pastures look so green,all we have snow and cold,we dream of spring but to far away yet,cat looks happy! Your little calf look’s content beautiful coat he has.Take Care from Ontario🇨🇦

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks 😊

[@chrisbernard6811]

You are always thinking ahead and planning. Thanks again for a great video.

[@maxine7088]

Alfalfa smells heavenly! I remember well the times we mowed the alfalfa fields and loved every minute of it. Some folks may not realize that humans can eat the sprouts. It's very nutritious and taste wonderful. What smells better than a freshly plowed field or a fresh field of cut alfalfa? Nothing in my opinion. I miss the farm so much. I yearn for those days again. But, I went and got old. 😂 That's ok. I'm still on top of the ground and I feel honored for the blessings from the Lord.

[@paulcasefarms9933]

I saw you pouring herbecide and then oil and can I suggest that you turn the jug on its side when possible? That keeps it from glugging so bad and will prevent spillage some. Just goes better in my opinion. always watching from Oklahoma!

[@mea3665]

That's way to much thinking Tyler now I need a nap !

[@freddylove9914]

Thanks for the video Tyler

[@jennifermartinus4929]

Yeah, the barncat still there. 🐈‍⬛ 👍 😊

[@westsidesjvalley]

I’ve planted the 3 way with the vetch already in it from Baglietto in Stockton, the first time it didn’t come up and this was right after Blackeye Beans, the next time it grew but I got the same price per ton as my beardless, so we stayed down that path. Feeding your own hay probably would be a better deal growing that. The other mix that I have seen here in the valley is vetch, peas & Faba beans.

[@dalejohns2758]

Watching the Calf chomp up the Alfalfa, I realized that Vegan Chomping up the Alfalfa is making my Rib-Eyes, T-Tones Tenderloins, and Burgers. And I love me some breaded and fried Beef Heart slices, and Liver.

[@Pamela-qn1bq]

Ohh I love that precious black calf. Is his name “little man “?😊

[@dylanhockaday9878]

I gat a speeder to go on the back of my atv to over seed when it is wet or what ever I may need found a 100 pound hooper and it works out great

[@JPCMETALHOG]

Don't know much about raising cattle, but I do know a little botany and chemistry. I believe vetch contains cyanogenic glycosides and can cause neurologic and dermatitic issues. Not sure of the rate of consumption needed to cause problems, so I can't state if it would be an issue for your herd. Enjoy your videos!

[@ZacVaper]

I always rinse my engines...Remove oil, put the oil plug back in, dump a gallon of diesel into the engine, push and push on the vehicle to swish the diesel around, than empty it out...I do it twice and the new oil stays cleaner, longer.

[@Gary-y5s]

I planted winter rye once had hairy vetch mixed in it. 45 years later I still have hairy vetch in that field. If it ripens it will reseed itself.

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Hi Tyler I’m just checking in ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathrynbraun2073]

The slow mo made me smile.

[@jaclynalley809]

Karson of Ripp Ranch is awesome....

[@lesliegrimming7630]

SlowMo was awesome!!!😁

[@TheDrewCharles]

Tyler, what does the vetch seed look like when you hold it in your hand so the camera can view it?

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Nice work, FTR. Curious to see how the vetch works in building some additional protein into the hay.

[@nebraskafarmer9015]

Did you worm that bucket calf? I'd use fenbendazole since you can buy the horse wormer paste and use it. I wormed our scrubby looking bucket calves and it made a big difference. Also, get a female cat to go with those toms. They are better mousers and once she starts having kittens you'll always have a plentiful supply of mousers.

[@benchacon4983]

I’ve been wondering when you were doing this.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@Brievel]

Luthi Ranch shoutout!! 😁

[@denault3985]

Chores have to be done and Tyler completed them.

[@benchacon4983]

I remember you doing the last oil change 🤣

[@IvyTurnbull-wn5wn]

impressive, slow shot sledge hammer

[@ChrisRogers-d1r]

I'm pretty sure the blade of the bucket would break that crete. Then again I probably abuse my LS more than average. We call it our big blue muscles. Over 50 and thankful for our LS.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good morning Tyler from Indiana

[@Indigoturtle4581]

I put recipes and instructions of things I use a lot on the inside of my upper kitchen cabinets. Handy for “how many minutes at what temperature?” Similar but different.

[@ShainCaldwell]

The only thing I hate about these videos is the end.

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

🥶Thats me watching your video from Canada thinking I wont even see my grass for anther 3 months

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ another interesting and informative episode ❤❤

[@Evelyn-cy6hw]

May I share with you, Tyler, and our KZbin family here, a very good small family dairy farm channel I am enjoying? It's located in the close-by region where I live. This farm is run on the fundamental concept of making every penny count -- nothing is wasted. Same as FTR's value system. Thanks for letting me make this suggestion! GierokFarms is the channel.

[@duotronic6451]

Vetch !!! ❤❤❤

[@roccomammoliti9007]

Hey Tyler hope all is well with u & the family ÷ the cattle. Why didnt u use the buck ofvthe tractor 2 break & pck it up wouldve bn easier brother. Whats going 2 happen 2 the angus calf .

[@reaskelton4939]

No such thing as a lazy farmer, at least not a successful one. Good on ya Farmer Tyler and family.

[@bhensel100]

Why didn't you keep the concrete pad to park a piece of equipment on ?

[@acmltr]

You can clean the surroundings by burying concrete shards and large stones under the ground.

[@tophand9571]

I see your truck is back what was wrong to make the check engine light come on.

[@gailrowland1672]

❤

[@jamessparks2691]

Just wondering...when you sold your calves, did you notice mu cc h, if any price difference between the black calves and the charolais colored calves. Here in Missouri black and black-baldy calves bring more money.

[@mikebickerton7356]

Will sanfoin grow I your area? Lots of positive qualities.

[@bobmoroney3643]

Even your penmanship is good.

[@jackdawg4579]

it is unusual to see machinery with oil changes based on date, usually based on engine hours.

[@patobrien1060]

Just to quote "Just a few acres farm"........I used to think I was Indecisive......now, I am not too sure......

[@BKMay-wx7os]

How about red clover it also puts nitrogen back in the soil.

[@jerrygibs8120]

From Texas Farmer T. Hope your weekend is going well. Blessings and prayers to you and family in Jesus's Mighty Name ☝ 🙏 🙌 💪

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Can someone tell me where did the bottle calf come from

[@kathrynphillips9344]

The peas also add nitrogen thru its roots. Right?

[@misty4782]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏 $200 for a filter???? Holy smoly.

[@karenschuster9831]

Hi, who's hat you wearing, meaning what is the insignia mean?

[@JBlow-ip7hf]

How bout using 🍀 as a nitrogen fixer

[@keen1957]

$200 for a filter? That’s not a John deer!

[@samuelhernandezdeleon712]

[@311Bob]

see your trucks back, what was wrong with it ? don't leave us hanging?

[@louisnemick1939]

Could you put the youtubers name in the deception.

[@AlexGutierrez-p5l]

14:56 why don’t you brake the concrete when it’s already inside the bucket lol

[@gregedmand9939]

Tyler, did you consider adding Perennial Peanut to your hay crop?

[@annes.4410]

I see a bunch of brush buy your machine shop that could be cleaned up. Then you could closer to the building. Just a thought.😊

[@cody8590]

What about clover
