Creating a One Huge Brush Pile. Starting to clear another Fence Line

[@amyjade65]

You have such a beautiful homestead! You are one lucky man! Enjoy your blessings! Cheers!

[@RJKeller]

I have enjoyed your video's for the last couple of years,, keep them coming thanx

[@joebeer6078]

The only youtube channel I watch these days! Keep up the good work Evan!

[@RichardColosky]

I enjoy your videos and like that they are not too long. I uselly pick videos that are 30 minutes or less hopefully you don't start making them too long. Good luck with your Chanel

[@HortonHill]

Equipment makes the jobs easier for sure, Running out of daylight early makes it hard.

[@cjaygaray7065]

Thank you for your videos.

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Hay Evan cool to see you have your pasture back can't wait to see you build the fence around it soon you will have more room for steers it looks like it's going to be a nice size pasture thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family

[@whitechurchfarm]

I love your videos. Parallels projects I have going on around my place here in south central Missouri.

[@paulborgmann6453]

Awesome video

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB We got a 15# turkey for Thanksgiving since the original nose count was 4 people, and now up to 9!! I have lots of pints of turkey canned from past holidays, and dont want to fill all my jars with more! Probably give leftovers to my granddaughter. Will probably get some big turkeys on sale to put in the new freezer. Fence lines are slow work even with your equipment, but they are really looking good. Gaining all that new pasture will be super too!!! Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!!

[@murielmartin6533]

Looks good

[@terrimccullough724]

Happy Thanksgiving Evan and Rebekah!

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi Evan,your place is looking good,Ed from Vermont

[@rockymatthews8643]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@MichaelHerringValdosta]

Love y'alls channel. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@davidwittmer8806]

Love your videos, happy thanksgiving.❤

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Evan everything is looking so good!

[@markdean111]

Might want to check in on property line laws, some places , move fence off the line that over time becomes the new property line . You may be giving up some land?

[@SeattlePioneer]

I suggest what you mnight consider doing is using a plow on that waste land. If you just knock it down, it will be growing back, hale and hearty, immediately. If you plow it up, you will disrupt the roots and root balls and have a good chance of interrupting it growing back a good deal. There was, you know, a REASON for plowing up land! I suggest this is one of those times.

[@headhunter4488]

Really enjoy your videos. What I enjoy the most is that you and Rebekah are real people that treat your farm and animals with kindness and respect. Additionally you are not like so many others that seem like actors. I watch you two and Pete from Just a few acres every video. Be safe. Happy Thanksgiving. Till next time..

[@OTTeacher]

Yes, love both these channels you mention!

[@coffeebuzzz]

Looking good Evan. Consider getting a rock bit for your post hole auger if the ground is a bit hard. The one we have at work was only a few dollars more than the standard bit and powers through our dry clay and hard gravel and if you happen to hit a rock, just drill straight through it.

[@greggandjanetprice3851]

Also, you can weld a couple pieces of pipe on to your digger and use a pipe as a cheater to put more pressure on auger while it is digging.

[@jamesazahn6842]

Fun video, but you showed us that beautiful and tasty looking turkey, and no samples for us to try 😧 ; "Oh No"! Maybe next time. "Enjoy" all your vedios, thanks for sharing your time with us all; and "Happy Thanksgiving" to you both!!!

[@raythorpe8210]

When are you going to finish fixing the woodshed? We have been waiting three years, at least.

[@johncanody5456]

You need to raise your bushhog front up so it won’t dig in the ground

[@kathysmith9385]

you can freeze dry the extra turkey

[@mdunbar04]

👍👍👍

[@gurubhat2403]

If you buy a shredder, all these could be good mulch material to enrich the soil?

[@coyotiess]

It needs to get done too? I like jerky!

[@louis0540]

How are the fruit and chesnut trees doing?

[@douglaskerr6813]

I'm sure if you take those snack sticks and jerky in to work yourselves guys will wolf those things down

[@soz8347]

What happened to the pond?

[@richqualls5157]

Can we get a update on the pond/fish?

[@cajunnathan4586]

That would make a good bon fire

[@billydeesullivan537]

Hey Man, I don't want to be that guy, but you really should clear out around your hay fields .

[@paulwheeldon3487]

Why not push it to one side of the field, and let it be a habitat for all sizes of nature? Farm with the land, not against it.

[@CountryViewAcres]

Roads to north and west, pasture to east driveway to south.

[@Doug-y2q]

Love your farm ethics ,no cussing & swearing,good job.

[@EC4400]

Everything looks so good, Evan. You and Rebekah have accomplished quite a bit this year. Congratulations.

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

How exciting that you will have another 12 acres of pasture! Are you planning to subdivide the 12 acres into four 3 acre paddocks so you can rotationally graze your beef cattle? Maybe use the boundary that is closest to the farm buildings and set up a common area with a shelter and water, then run 3 radial fences which will give you 4 approximately 3 acre pastures? Something to think about. 👍

[@daleredmond6449]

That new pasture is going to be great. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Rebecca.

[@georgemoomaw9437]

I see your drone is back in action. GREAT. An a pilot, I love those aerial views.

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

It looks great where you cleaned it up and mowed the fence lines. It will make it all much easier to keep mowed after you pull out all the old rusty barbwire fence laying on the ground. Its nothing but a tripping hazzard.

[@daleh645]

Not enough freezer space sounds like a good problem to have. The thing about farms is there is always something that needs doing. God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇮🇱

[@toddforhetz]

Love watching your farm progress !!! Thank YOU for taking us along !

[@None-xk7by]

I swear this is the best Chanel on KZbin. I just absolutely love it.

[@johnshort1536]

Have to agree. Also Lumnah Acres with Al and Gina.

[@smplyizzy]

You’re a better man than me. I would have just set that fence line on fire and watched it closely. If you use a leaf blower you can mostly control the fire.

[@edgeoftheforesthomestead602]

Excitied for you brother, glad to see the farm expand

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Sounds like you have a good plan for your fencing, clearing it out is certainly the first step. You have is going and looking good, also your turkey looked good to me. Good luck with the fence clearing and replacement. I hope you have a good week and a happy Thanksgiving!

[@timandkimwardell1378]

I appreciate all of your post. Mostly that they are simple, clean, and informative.

[@jimmypowell7508]

You are doing a great job getting your farms cleaned up. I did notice the rear of your tractor bouncing with a big load on your loader. You my want to consider building a counter weight box to hang off your 3 point hitch

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you

[@bay9876]

Nice pleasing sound of dry brush crackling as it burns up. Orange glowing fire warming up the air in the dead of winter like a fiery dance beckoning the coming spring. Nice work clearing the fence line.

[@pegsheridan128]

love watching your videos. Property looks great. And you didn't break anything 😂

[@CountryViewAcres]

I thought the same thing.

[@patkappes6140]

Looking good. 😍

[@joerodrigues3816]

Happy to see you back and it’s all going well mate have fun and enjoy your day and take care of yourself and your family. You two really work very hard as you both have a day job and then come home and work again amazing.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@chartlook1]

Turkey Dinner, Hot Turkey Sandwiches, Cold Turkey Sandwiches, Turkey Stew, Turkey Soup... so much you can do with Turkey. Another great video.

[@marymigliore3396]

I LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!

[@cathiwim]

To have so much land to play with- wow!

[@terrycastor8299]

Keeping fence lines clear is a full time job. I think the best I ever saw was my stepgrandfather. He did it all by hand with a scythe, an axe and crosscut saw, but his fences were always immaculate. He sharectpped by some arrangement so farming was his full time job. We weren't close but he was the only grandfather I ever knew. Good memories.

[@leol1682]

Enjoy your video Evan and Reb. and cleaning fence line his the worst job on farm .

[@danielheartsill4269]

I would bet a turkey with ripped skin or a broken bone will make as good a turkey pot pie as a perfect one. The same with many other things you can make with them.

[@canuckyank82]

A great video of that bush hog in action. The turkey looked like it was moist inside. Thanks for the video!

[@ftwtexasstephens9629]

I really enjoyed watching you clean up the fence line

[@mariesheppard3750]

Your doing a good job , Hang in there , it will all get done some day

[@waynegauthier155]

Hi Evan, good work on the fence, looking forward to seeing a new fence without brush etc. What is happening with the pond, not heard anything lately on it. Wishing you and family a very Happy Thanksgiving.

[@jerrybudnik8698]

Great job in bringing the old farm into a beautiful looking place. You and Rebekah should be very proud of your accomplishments thus far. Hope you guys have a very enjoyable Thanksgiving and eat the fruits of your labor. God bless.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Happy Thanksgiving Evan & Rebekah. I'll bet that turkey tasted real good. The broth looked very rich. You will soon have everything put to bed for the winter. The homestead is looking mighty fine. Have a Blessed day.

[@garystlaske7703]

Another great video...Enjoy you Thanksgiving, take a day off & enjoy..

[@patrichardson7481]

Evan, you need an old school Bachtold weed mower. They were originally made in Forrest Illinois , changed the name to R D something, they are a walk behind self driven machine with I think 30 inch cut and 8 hp horizontal shaft motor. They can cut up to a 2 1/2 inch tree / brush. Handy for electric fence areas and all of the above you show in this video plus will be ideal for inclines like your wash out.

[@jdschini]

Ripping out fence lines is never an easy or pleasant job. However it is very visually rewarding once completed. I bet you are enjoying finally having access to your additional land. Hopefully there is not too many rocks & other hidden objects in this field. I like your plan of waiting until after it snows to burn the huge brush piles. Much safer, and a great way to warm up a cold winter day. I am wondering if there is such a thing as turkey jerky? It would be something else to add to your already extensive turkey menu options. 😂 I wish you & yours a very happy & blessed Thanksgiving!

[@davidhawley3663]

Along the road where it got deep you may have DRAIN TILE and that may be the out put for the tile LOOKING GOOD.

[@hubertwebb9869]

Evan, remember the dust bowl days? They discovered that fence lines with brush was important to keep soil from blowing around in the wind.

[@bigtime37ja]

Another good job done sir. Wishing you two the very best and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@richardkeeton3057]

Love watching your videos evan....it's deer season in Illinois now and you showed us your stand.....will we get a hunting video? I hope so....that's part of feeding yourself in the country as well.

[@mimicolvin3200]

You are and have done a fantastic job at clearing the fence line. Your farm is so neat and organized: thanks for sharing your work around the farm. I love watching what you’re doing around the farm.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Happy TG. Enjoy your Tryptophan/Serotonin naps. 👍👍👍

[@workhardlivefree3818]

Hopefully non of your future livestock end up with small chunks of steel from that old fencing, either in a hoof or in their throats... Not a fun experience

[@mrileydigh]

I had the same issue with ancient field fence growing N2 the trees. I found it MUCH easier to cut the fence from the tree trunks and pull out smaller sections to haul away.

[@teenagefarmer]

Looking good Evan!

[@tireddad6541]

Never thought of doing tomato sauce in a roaster pan. A lot easier and in the summer doing it outside would have kept my mother's kitchen cooler. No AC.

[@firsttimefarmer]

I have another large burn pile waiting for snow. Here in the northland (near Duluth, MN), I have to have a permit to burn if there is not snow on the ground. So, we plan our burns after an inch or more on the ground.

[@jamessteffens8337]

Always enjoy your videos. Jim80

[@randyelkins9123]

It would be nice if you could burn out that ditch line by the road. I realize thats not always possible but it would sure save time and work...

[@stephaniewilson3955]

In the UK we used laid hedges for millenia. Of course they need regular maintenance so farmers started using wire fencing which does not last and is easier for livestock to break loose from.

[@bobhenry8262]

Nice to hear the old background music again. I like that song. Lol

[@thomasgreene5750]

Once you have removed the old fence along the driveway and before you install the new one, you might want to fill and grade the edge of the field and the ditch. That would make installing the new fence and mowing much easier.

[@sandypratt8951]

❤️👍👍👍

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Looks great Evan and your plans are working out for both of you. It does look great. Stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving , Fred

[@garybannack1823]

You’re having too much fun, I can tell!

[@michelboisvert5684]

hi you know what your problem is you talk a lot and we don't see you working enough think about it this is what people want to see working

[@stevenvogel6234]

Looks good! Easy parts done

[@GARYPETERSON-t9u]

CLEAN ALL TREES IN FENCE LINE-JUST TAKING WATER AND NUTRIENTS FROM GROUND A LONG WAY OUT FROM TREES

[@brucemoore2163]

Fence lines are just a pain. High maintenance that few keep up with.

[@johnqcitizen9177]

I have heard that by doing a brush fire in a field that you burn/dry out the nutrients under the dirt of the brush fire ??

[@fredsmith2193]

Don't u have down pressure on that tractor so u can dig those holes in that dry ground

[@joansmith3492]

seems like you should do something to fix the erosion. droughts end in floods. yes?

[@cheesegrits196]

You really need a DR trimmer! After the burn take the ashes and spread them on the field. Also rake where the pile was to spread out the ashes as much as possible.

[@markpriddy1]

Your mixing it up perfectly. 😊

[@coyotiess]

I hear you can hunt deer with rifles this year? tell me about it!

[@jamesberg3106]

Evan, What grapple brand and model are you using? Impressed
