Concrete Floor & Silo Work

June 3, 2021 - The builders are pouring the floor in the new heifer barn and we short-arm a Harvestore silo unloader.

To see you working with your dad has made me really to miss my father.

[@callenruby4050]

Sorry you is sad

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

The person that was using the bull float was amazing. Those lines were straight. Great video.

[@alabamacoastie6924]

I'm impressed that you know the name of that thing.

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

@@alabamacoastie6924 I know what they are, I know what they, have no idea how to use one.

[@ryanwaege7251]

That is a lot of rain. New building coming along nicely!

[@munenex]

The guy making those grooves is the real mvp. Such a steady hand

[@farmboysteve3295]

Guy Wastes Allllotta time though only using half

[@KJ-kw7gh]

He’s not using only a half. He’s using one half of bull float to guide, and to finish previous grooves better.

[@lightbulb1982]

Steady hand lol Did you see how much flex their was in that pole? lmao

[@williamw1907]

@@farmboysteve3295 Gee. I winder who knows what he s doing, You? Or the guy making the lines? Numpty

[@alabamacoastie6924]

You and your dad work so well together, hardly a word needs to be said.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

The chap putting the lines in the concrete is just amazing. I could watch it all day!!

[@ericboykett]

You getting any good idea's for your building Tom? 😁

[@enzovanbanning4163]

Exactly

[@agriman2583]

Hi tom

[@raymondgill6632]

I'm going to guess by the way he was dressed he is from Lancaster.

[@charleslynch7274]

I agree 100% very satisfying to watch

[@lidsman2221]

The building looks great! I am sure the cows will be super happy in their new home! Thanks for the video.

[@genekagarice4263]

It won't be long now before the new building is done and ready for habitation. Looks great. Smart choice to go with Amish for doing the job

[@michealwhite8776]

I agree 👍

[@jamesrivis620]

HOW you know all this work in the silo blows me away. Highly impressive guys !!

[@jwilson5790]

I recently found your channel and really enjoy it. Having worked with a poultry farm and being from a rural area, and understanding a lot of the effort it takes to run a successful farm operation, i just want to say thank you to you, your dad, and your entire family for your dedication and commitment in providing a quality product to your community. Everyone thanks the military and emergency responders, but very few thank the people who keep everyone fed. The people whose job never ends. The people like you. Thank you. And God bless.

[@tapinc2464]

Very well said!

[@jasonking2943]

That will be the cleanest that floor ever is!

[@ZekenStreak]

The new barn construction is really moving along now. Shortening the Harvestore unloading leg seems like a pain but it’s a necessary job. Man when it rains it pours!! Take care & stay safe. Cheers

[@carolynrose753]

Close to walls and pipe work then bedding and 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄 Very efficient crew working on the project. They know their stuff. Nice straight lines on the grooving shows they care.🤗

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

Once the construction work gets going it goes by pretty fast.

[@terrystephens1102]

The new shed is looking great, Eric. 😃👌👏👏👏❤️❤️

[@captainkirkvanswearingen9423]

You Erik live an incredibly dangerous profession. The HD equipment with sharp edges drives me and your insurance carrier over the edge. But tell at least 1 to 2 people where you are and task. My son in law cousin was killed last year on a dairy farm in Connecticut. He was working alone when a hydraulic failure pinned him to a wall & ground. So my respect for you is over the the top. Peace!

[@lindascott2107]

I so love that your dad teaches you everything it just warms my heart, good job dad & you are also a good worker God bless you.all big ❤

[@vanbrown785]

!!!!!!!!!!!! The skill and energy it takes to be a successful dairy farmer!!!!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!! Thanks, Eric!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DoughboyPathyUSA]

Perfect, just finished Welkers video, and then you pop up

[@inspiredscreens]

Great video. Your dad is a great father. Happy Father's Day to you and your dad.

[@downhilltwofour0082]

I appreciate your sharing your daily work-life on the farm!

That ending never gets old.😊😊😊

I’m very impressed with all the work that goes into a new dairy building!

[@petervogwill6499]

Your barn builder is making a good go of it....nice crew..hope you strap it down for your peace of mind to resist high winds....!

[@craigsteffen931]

Looking good. Can't wait till get done. Send some of that rain my way. Really dry here and hott.

[@TheGilbert48197]

Thank you for showing your day, and changing that arm looks like it's big job to get done and being safe with all them knives. And the new Barn is coming along nicely,

[@victoriabrownfrank4328]

The gentleman who put your grooves in your semi did a beautiful job hes an artist added I guess you would say

[@funnelspider]

ty for every thing you do the hard work long days for me and my family

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Great to see you and your Dad working so well together. The slower that the concrete dries the stronger it will be. The barn is looking great. tanks for the super video and see you on the next one.

[@kenmusselman4124]

The barn is coming along nicely thanks for keeping us updated

[@samspade4634]

Sure is amazing how fast that concrete set up. I was surprised to see it hold your weight already. That was neat. I am also impressed with the size of the building. Good planning went into that structure. Thanks for the video.

[@michbostn]

the lattice work looks amazing

[@Adam_Poirier]

Barn looking good Eric! I love the shot of the chopper blowing the silage right into the bunk lol that’s just awesome

[@eddiesmith8307]

YAY... something worth everyone's time to watch! I'm watching later tonight and have already gave my thumbs up!! Yahoo mt dew! 🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮

[@mikedean8061]

Ive never seen grooves in a slab. Learn something new every day...

[@kenwarren8049]

Mr. Bloomberg should be required to watch all of these videos since he thinks farming is a simple profession for dummies. Takes me back 60 years growing up on a dairy farm. I learned a lot of life's lessons milking cows. keep up the good fight.

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

He is right put seed in dirt it's a processes Bloomberg hahahha😅we get a few here every year or so by a little land a tractor they flip it, get it stuck and/or can't figure out what to do then they hire us to come in and they save money and can focus on other things on there land

[@cooldog60]

Bloomberg isn't qualified to clean the barns.

[@rockett725]

Really enjoy seeing what goes onto the building of your new barn.

[@MrGjc310148]

shed looking real good from here nz,smile,hope your families are wel gnz

[@steveadams99708]

I love all those "metric adjustable tools" you use Eric, they are my favorites as well! Enjoyed the video, that you!

[@jamesmisener3006]

Those lucky heifers❗Cheers Folks. 🇨🇦

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Working with those workers is cool. They always do a good job.

[@robm328]

I am loving watching the gentleman working the groves they look perfect. The long/short arm process is interesting. there were a few Harvestors near our farm in NJ, mostly concrete stave silos.

[@jeffreynelson6795]

Drone shots! You are very blessed. You work side by side with your dad. You make an awesome team. Very inspired by these videos.

[@daddycigars007]

Great video loved the guy putting the groves in the concrete very smart

[@timidema6374]

Building is coming along well, that was alot of rain and you and your dad looking good and well. Keep up the good work and remember God is in control and God loves you and bless you and your family. Prayers for your family. The Amish does amazing work on Building barns, God bless them too 🙏.

[@charleslynch7274]

Those concrete guys did a killer job on the floor the guy putting the lines in I could watch all day something so satisfying about it

[@matthoyle484]

As always, thanks for the videos Eric. It’s very generous of you to let us into your life on the farm

[@kimcwhite6509]

You and your Dad work so well together. That silo work looks hard. It's a creepy confined space! The craftsmanship on the cement work is awesome. Glad you got some rain, please send it to California😉

[@tractorcorleone]

It is very interesting to see how the stable is built. How the workers understand their trade and work in a team. I have never seen before how the grooves are made in the concrete. They do a very good and accurate job 👍👍💯

[@georgeholler1992]

Enjoying your videos on building the new barn. Doing a great job. And also enjoyed watching you and your dad working in the silo. Being a farmer you have to be on top of everything to have machinery run smooth.

[@JamesCool-sd7jz]

You know you are a amazing content created when you can work in a pitch black silo. And the viewers still know what’s going on. Great camera work and great editing.

[@rollingrock5143]

Those sure are some hard workers pouring in the concrete. Great to see.

[@three6ohchris]

The beginning was almost a concrete ASMR moment. 😂 Looking good though! Lots of progress happening... I bet you're excited (I know I'm excited, and I'm just sitting here watching, so I can only imagine how excited you must be 😂) to get it done. Thanks for sharing, Eric!

[@thehowardshavenanimalsanct5942]

Makes me tired and soar just watching this this morning 😂

[@davepelfrey3958]

Really coming along nicely. Good thing with the roof over the freshly poured concrete, that rain sounds horrendous. LoL.

[@robynmorris7945]

Fantastic video Eric. I need to thank you again for taking the time and effort to film and edit for us. It is nit like you have all this spare time on your hands. Your efforts are certainly appreciated by so many. Bull float operator was amazing to watch…in fact the entire team is amazing!!!! Thanks again Eric.

[@davidcantu87]

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC

[@jimbeck6093]

Always look forward to your next video!! Very interesting for this NC city boy!!

[@swonky5138]

No better feeling then being outside standing in the heavy rain after a long drougth… Especially when you have crops growing.

Looking great. Love our farmers and ranchers

I'm thankful there are people that will go in that silo and work but it would NOT be me!

Going to be a beautiful barn. Congratulations, and God Bless

Certainly taking shape. Looks really good Eric

Great awesome video Eric , barn is coming along well

Man the construction is flying by! I cant wait

That look on your dads face at 7:37 is the exact way I feel half way through any hard job :D

[@overanDownUnder]

Watching that concrete being smoothed out was extremely satisfying. 1:00

[@richardhayes5010]

That transition was smooth

[@TheGreatPOD]

Another great video, the new barn is coming around nicely. I just love the look of the grooved floor. Hey if you want to send some of that rain out here to California we'd really appreciate it. I just love the sound of that heavy rain coming down on the roof. We have a big old 15' x 35' corrugated tin roof in the backyard for the patio, just love the sound of rain coming down on it. Keep up the great work, love seeing videos of you and your dad working together.

[@neptune4167]

So glad to see hearing protection

[@amybly6191]

Nice job on that barn, thanks for sharing

[@erniebuckman9947]

The gentleman running the bullfloat with that many poles on it. Was unreal and straight for that long. I have done it but not that many poles. I am telling you his arms will hurt end of day. Don't care how young you are.

[@raypitts4880]

those amish lads work all the time steadily to the finish.

We're on the verge of drought conditions up here in Ontario...you guys are gettin all the rain it seems.

[@purplebunny7728]

Farmers POV has so much rain they had to delay planting corn for almost 4 weeks. Plow harrow, harrow, harrow and still wet spots in the fields. I'm a city girl. Praying that it all works out for every one. 🤞These shows really bring the "weather" into focus. That new barn is looking very cool. So glad the roof made it up before the rains. 😊 Very nice.

[@Lukelins1]

Looks good, coming along fast.

Excited to see it finished!

Glad you’re getting plenty of rain. Lately here in Iowa, it’s a blessing if we get a spotty shower.

[@BerlinBLR]

So crazy seeing all these youngins out there working in construction and the most ive done is paint a wall and stain a fence. Are they all amish? Hard workers it seems! Greetings from Germany

[@alabamacoastie6924]

They do quality work.

[@mllee2008]

Don't sell yourself short hun, there are plenty of young folks who haven't painted a wall or stained a fence! I say good job and keep going! 😀👍

That is so cool how they put the groves in the floor. They make it look easy but I'm sure it isn't.

Very skilled indeed!

If you ever get a chance to run a bull float do it.. You will gain a new appreciation for the amount of skill that fella has..

[@nitetrane98]

Experience.

[@canuckloyalist4681]

@@francoisross2480 Or a power trowel.

[@rongjerning8370]

That is what amazes me about this project. They were smart in using a POWER BUGGY to help place the concrete, but I didn’t see any grade stakes, no screeds of any kind, no laser concrete placer to help place this large of a floor. This is a LOT of ready mix concrete for 4-5 men to place, they have a limited window of time to be able to get it placed, leveled and then grooved. They did a mighty job, it looks good. What strength of concrete are they placing for the floor? A nice addition for your farm system Eric?

Barn looks great!

[@natem4585]

Crazy how much they have done in the last week on that barn

Really making progress with the new heifer barn. Amish skills are the best, I think. Don't envy you & your Dad having to work inside the Harvestore, mostly 'cause I'm claustrophobic! Thanx for another excellent video . . .
