Corn Steeling

[@thr8061]

We have a bunch of oaks, maples, birch, black cherry, hickory and white pine trees. The hickory trees will drop half of their leaves in the fall and then the rest in spring. We have a couple maple trees which stay green up until the first snowfall usually. Then they cover the snowy ground with greenish yellow leaves. Normally if we wait a few days, the snow will melt and we can deal with those leaves. The worst part are the hickory nuts, oak acorns and those long white pine needles. BUT I love the smell of fall when you get a foggy morning or shower.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

I love the smell of fall!!

I like how Kevin shows the viewers his thinking on whenever he is doing.

[@RonNoLastName]

Great video, love watching you guys. In Nevada we don't have trees, so no, they don't turn. I did drive the 2-1/2 hours to Reno and saw some trees.

[@richdillon2157]

Here in Florida Our Oak trees don't lose there leaves until spring time . Late Feb. thru March. Nope the leaves don't change color here either. Now on the trees like Sycamore, They just turn brown and fall , which there doing now. All of the Red Maples and Ornamental trees change color just like up North. But Water Oak and the rest of the oak family trees are spring time. Enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing.

[@the432152]

Besides providing a neater finished appearance the Z-trim also provides the benefit of flashing to keep any water from getting under the sill plate. Smart. I like it.

[@leighwade6232]

All looking great, another Awesome job love you all from Australia ❤❤❤❤❤

[@brianrobinson6136]

Kevin has such good ideas not only will the z trim at the top save money it also saves having to put up 2 pieces of trim! I always look forward to your videos Rhonda!

[@jonseim4030]

Here in NY (The north eastern portion) I've noticed we have oak trees that will hold their leaves throughout winter! Never really seen any other tree do that. Again, I love seeing and hearing Kevin's plans on building the shop. My late father was a civil engineer, so I have a feeling he would've like watching these videos to see Kevin's plans/ ideas. Can't wait for the next video!

Beech trees hold them til the buds push them off. Our Oaks are stubborn , but come off in early Winter.

Our trees in Adelaide have almost fiiled out and the jacarandas are about to flower leading into summer.😊

[@davidarthur1542]

Our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren live in northwest New Mexico. The only trees that turn are aspens that quickly turn from green to yellow and then drop their leaves, all in about a week.

[@andrewgraves3719]

We had frost again this morning west of St Louis, MO. There are a few trees that have changed, but I don't think the colors will be very pronounced this year due to the lack of rain. I can see why Kevin chose the Z trim for the bottom, if any condensation were to form on the steel, it would just run off, whereas a J trim would collect it. Blessings to the family, and farm.

[@James-jx5uc]

Hello Rounda always glad to get to see you and the family yeah I remember when I was growing up the dairy would give away the calfs they were just small dairy's 🤠

We are at peak color here in Southern Pennsylvania. The last rain we had was on October 1st. It is very dry here. One good thing is corn and soybean harvest is ahead of most years. The wheat is coming up too. Thanks for another great video Rhonda.

[@skintite9892]

Florida here. Most trees here are green all the way until they turn brown, drop to the ground and end up on the compost pile. Not much color down here.

[@NeilMaclachlan]

Great video....nice calves....Workshop coming on good....Stay safe and see you soon

[@andrewmacomber1638]

Down here in Florida the fall season is very subtle. If you’re not paying close attention you could miss it. Not much color change at all. Winter in Florida is perfect though. We finally get a break from the heat and the air can be crisp and cool with no humidity! Perfection in my book. ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🌎

[@rayeddy528]

Thank you Rhonda for sharing your family's journey !!!! We are at peak colors here in the mountains of far southwestern Virginia. Kevin is an intelligent young man. He does everything with thought and planning. Job well done Mr. Kevin!!! Please be careful and God bless you all!!!! Eddy

[@7viewerlogic670]

Good idea with the trim.

[@Littlepeckerhome]

Ronda and Kevin, I live in the high desert of Idaho. We don't have many trees. Originally in Pennsylvania when we lived there. It was driving around day when leaves peaked before a wind.

[@faFsman]

Great colour in Ireland this year, our leaves are holding on well despite a bit of wind last weekend. We had a slow and late spring so maybe it’s nature’s way of keeping balance. Also we changed to winter time this weekend and got an extra hour in bed 🛌. Our animals are starting to move in to winter accommodation so extra feeding and cleaning out to be done. Happy farming 🇮🇪

[@Chuck-Guyitt]

Thats called the drip rail for the wall panel. All it really does is keep moisture from going back up behind the sheeting.

[@roddavisdavis208]

I love the way you're trimming out your shop. It's working a lot better than the j trim, I can see that.

Here in central Texas we are in a mini drought plus heat above normal so there is little or no color (ugly brown due to dryness) and most tree leaves have not fallen yet. Only once a couple years ago with a good long cold snap in late November did we ever have really good colors (brilliant ambers and reds).

[@bay9876]

Great concept the modified J channel trim, and looks good up on the wall. The trees are changing colour but not so much further south. From dark green to lighter under the hot sun. Arizona 80 degrees now 90 degrees on average, but very dry. Gotta take a visit and dry out.

What a lovely scene of the fall along the river

[@carlstephens-tm7zj]

Here in the middle of North Carolina or as we are referred to the piedmont. Ours are about a week and half into leaves 🍁 turning. And I have a live oak tree that never loses its leaves it gets thin from new growth leaves coming in but never completely loses them. It’s original from the coast and southern part of my state and south eastern states. It stays green all year round. Wish I knew how to put a picture of it on here where you could see it it’s kinda cool

Greetings from the shenandoah valley of virginia. Really enjoy your channel and watching your family. I am located close to where the blue ridge parkway starts and rode up on it yesterday. I believe we are a bit past peak here. The elevation of the parkway is close to 2000-2500’ in this area. We have been in a severe drought until the last tropical system came through, and it’s getting dry again. Blessings to you and your family.

I ordered some 4 weeks ago. Just over the border near Port Huron we call it base trim. The new shop is gunna be great!

[@wdnewhart]

In reference to your Z trim my comment is it is used for outside walls to deflect water away from your concrete footing and so your board on the bottom of your wall doesn’t get absorbed with water end of comment

[@dwyaneengle9621]

The trim you made is also available ready made, it's sold as F&J in most states. I don't know the prices to compare, great to see your attention to detail. Keep up the great work. Happy farming 😊

Kevin has the right idea. you want to keep channeling any water or moisture outside the walls. any washing or condensation on the walls will not get into the insulation. the Missouri River is down quite a bit but was lower earlier when you could see a barge that had sunk close to the M-291 bridge just north of me. curious is a good description for cows and calves. they stretch out their necks and try to sniff check first. fun to reach out and when they reach out, you can tickle their noses and they pull back and look at you like why did you do that?
