[@bobby3378]

Hi Meradith, I completely agree with Lawerence, If we wore all the protictive gear all the time we would never get anything done and even if we had a hard hat on we would still get hurt if a tree fell on our head! I hope you all stay safe though.

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

But if he had the hard hat with the faceshield he probably would of not gotten hurt.

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

If Lawrence doesn't want to wear any safety equipment, that's his decision. Like a stubborn mule with little regard to the results if he gets injured. It's also scary seeing Wes ridding on the side of a tractor. If he falls off, it would not be good. And how.would you feel if he did.?

[@geralddicarlo3249]

That was cool how you said that to Lawrence, " People are saying you should wear a safety shield." And you explained nicely what you are up against. How you can't change him. Your respect for, and knowledge of, your husband, is real love. You don't want Lawrence to get hurt, but you also know, you can't nag him. Such wisdom! This Farm Wife, is the best!

[@chiefvilla3167]

Sorry for your loss girl. I used to be so many Elders of my family. Grandparents Anton uncles mother two sisters. Your cousins Brothers. All gone too soon.

[@hawks2252]

I agree. Hopefully he can build a home maybe on the property or close by if he so chooses. Who know what life brings and as smart as he is - he'll do his exploring, but you always end up back to your roots - "and a river runs through it." . @@brendakennedy6854

I love him. Not many old timers left. Wish I could have lived growing up like them.

[@noelkeane5603]

We all should do a basic first aid course and have quick access to a first aid kit in an emergency. Farmers should carry one in their mule, jeep and tractor. LB experienced a split second facial laceration while using his chainsaw. It was so close to his eye.

[@papaburf7275]

Seems to me that too many folks feel compelled share an opinion about what other folks besides themselves ought to do for any situation. Lawrence will live the way he wants and I support that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I know you do too. Love the videos, thanks for sharing.

[@terryfrazier2751]

Happy Birthday Austin! 👍👏🎂🎉

[@user-tl5dc6np5y]

Lawrence is like all men who farm and have learned to be tough. My husband turned 75 about a week ago, and I've learned to say my piece and let it go. Wesley has become a very good farm hand working with his dad. It's nice to see your family helping each other when needed. Blessings to all of you! ❤❤😊😊

Praying for you Meredith you are the light of the family!!❤️

[@belabahn]

Lawrence's attitude towards life/ accidents and the "love him or you don't like him" way reminds me so much of my Dad. "(Un)fortunately" that's one of the traits I inherited from him (and I wouldn't change a thing). :) So high-five to my Dad & LB too. -- And that song "Ticket to Ride" (14:43) is by The Beatles /recorded in '65/, and was covered by The Carpenters in '69.

[@garypickering974]

Great to see the gloves!! Sometimes you can convince others to be more safe by being safety conscious yourself.

[@budledbetter7457]

[@KevinSisco-of7hj]

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Good video, glad to see Lawrence eye is healing up. He’s right, accidents happen on the farm and to saw a tree branch, you don’t have the time to put protective gear on when nothing may happen. It’s different when you’re going to cut a bunch of trees down. My opinion.

[@charlenepartlow7880]

❤all is well dearest ! Bernard's are amazing. Each in their own entity ! Love y'all !

[@MegaBait1616]

[@thomasosburn833]

Lawrence and I have the same viewpoint, when it's our time ,it's our time! There's no changing it, no fretting over it. One thing Lawrence should consider is that without him, the Bernard family would be devastated! By next year, Wesley won't fit through that grain bin door. Great video.

[@Seonaidh966]

You may never change the old man but your boy is picking up his bad habits!!!

[@chrisurschel6832]

Changing an "older" farmer is harder than changing the rotation of the earth and sun. I grew up on the farm and married a farmers' daughter, so experience speaking. LOL!

[@mickeyjones2874]

I love your channel! One reason would be, you show just enough of family dynamics to show you are a normal family! It is so refreshing. Thanks for keeping it real!!

[@donmears4090]

I being an old dog (69yrs. old) know about how hard it is to learn new tricks but Wesley still has the ability to learn a new habit like wearing safety glasses. Ask him to imagine what could have been prevented by Lawrence wearing eye protection.

[@oldbamadirt2148]

Old Dog's Can Do New Trick's 👍

[@hawks2252]

great comment sir. I have seen alot of life altering eye accidents in my life that some simple safety measures could have reduced or prevented. I'm probably as crazy as they get - and I have safety glasses in my carpenter pants at all times if that says how important my vision is to me.

[@michaelcollins1925]

[@brfriedm]

You can't change Lawrence but Wesley can wear safety glasses. Go to your local hardware store and pick him up a pair and ask him to wear them when he is using the chain saw. Common sense here. Teach him.

[@KenEngelmeier]

LB might have to conger something up for when Wesley can't fit through the bin door anymore, and I think it's funny how confident Austin looks driving, like she's been at it for years!

[@tractordan933]

The look on Lawrence's face in your opening shot is absolutely priceless! Lets do a caption this.

[@jeffferanec4526]

Thank you all for sharing & happy Sunday!

[@judithgillis267]

I agree what did we do when we didn't have all of the safety equipment. Our ancestors did it safely. It's called a accident for a reason. I love that they are teaching what happens in the real world when things aren't perfect. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

[@robertmarino2158]

Happy Birthday Austin enjoy your day .

[@marionberry6909]

To all the critics out there, and I think most will agree, (if you have ever been around an old fashioned farm). I was raised on a farm very similar to the Bernards. Lawrence is an old fashioned farmer, which there are very few left. He was probably raised by a Dad that, was a product of the great depression, (1930s) and they never threw anything away, for fear that they might need a part off of it, or something. We were not raised with hardhats and safety glasses, we were taught to work with what we had, and not spend a nickel more than what we had, and most times we didn't have the nickel to spend anyway. So, while all of the pointed comments are good advice, the guy is an "All American", these are the ones that keep our country running and fed. Let's give the Bernard family a break and leave the negative comments, (which can be hurtful) in our back pocket. Instead, lets make a positive comment. They are the type of people that built this country from start. Blessings to the Bernards!

[@ThisFarmWife_]

You are spot on about his raising. Thank you for being here and the encouragement

[@scatterbolt2578]

[@wayneshancock2520]

MuMma, get some white lithium grease and a small acid brush at the auto parts store , have Wes lube up those door hinges on your truck. They will seize if they are not lubricated soon 👍

[@thr8061]

I have always been light-sensitive. I wear a pair of tinted shooting glasses that wrap around the sides a bit to protect my eyes from the side. I wear them when I mow because stuff bounces off all our trees and back at me. I also wear them just walking thru the trees cuz you never know.

[@stevenphare5455]

He is who is, and It is what it is! Well said! We love you all! Seriously, America at it's core!❤

[@dmorgan28]

I really appreciate Lawrence knowing what has to be done and then does it. He is very capable and does a good job. When I cut firewood I don’t use a helmet, I just wear my hat. You could have all the safety gear on and things still happens sometimes. We’re just thankful that the Good Lord keeps His hand over us! We love y’all and love your channel. 👍❤️🙏

[@hawks2252]

Yes things can happen with or without safety gear. when running saws, when possible, put on safety gear please. I have seen some life/family altering accidents from saws.

[@benrogers5808]

That old man is not funny. I worked in Nuclear construction and maintenance for 30 years and farmed for 12 years previously. He thinks safety is not necessary but if he didn’t have you and the two kids to do all the hard work he’d be out of the farming business. I’m not trying to hurt your feelings Meredith by any means but It’s the truth.

[@jamesscott-pi7fq]

I really liked that look Wesley was giving his mom when she was trying to sing. I think he was wondering how he ended up getting a mom like that or if she was losing her mind.

[@hawks2252]

I'm the same way as you and LB. however, it is really simple to put on a pair of safety glasses or saw helmet with face shield when running a saw. you can't stop stuff from happening when you do things like we do, but you can reduce the possibility of getting seriously hurt by just doing some simple things.

You want to smile a bit more young man, you've a great smile, and them ladies out there will no doubt appreciate it. You, and your sister are an absolute credit to both your mother, and father.
