Day of Random Farm Work

[@SonneFarms]

That first one fit so precisely!

[@icebabysnocain]

A new man cave! Perfect, all you vid work in one spot and you can start and stop anytime and nobody will bother it. Every boy needs his fort. You can never have too many trees. More leaves = more breaths. Good vid. Peace.

[@williamsensenig4661]

Thanks for the awesome videos. Me and my 6 yr old son are always watching them. We drove by your place this past Saturday and he loved seeing the building/milk-house and spotting some the tractors that we always watch in the videos. Thanks again.

[@Rick-kw3cc]

I never had much of a relationship with my father left home at a young age it does my soul good to see you and your father get along well it actually work together like it supposed to be thank you

[@geneinpennsylvania]

Rick Montez I grew up without a father, I notice how much unspoken communication there is between these two. It's so neat the teamwork PEACE

[@Shaneodell35]

I watch you and Saskdutchkid. I'm a city guy I have no idea about your industry, but I've learned so much. Thank you for all your hard work.

Mr.10th and Dad the 9th, A few years, You and Father will hang a great tire swing for the little 11th Generation Dairy Farmers in those trees‼️ Then later, a nice tree house for them. Yall will enjoy the shade of these trees while having family dinners/cookouts under the canopy. The Memories and Stories these trees will generate will long last many Generations to come‼️ Many Blessings and Prayers with Thanksgivings for Yall’s hard work and sharing your life through these Exceptional Videos and Edits‼️

Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he. He climbed up in a Sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see. I loved your referencing Zacchaeus when you mentioned the Sycamore trees!

I love the video’s with you and your Dad working together, stay safe and God bless you all!

[@michaelg.5862]

You have adopted more diversity in camera placements and shared some different experiences you have in your work. I enjoy your channel very much. It helps me, living in the suburbs of Los Angeles, appreciate how much work, diligence and caring go into the milk I pour on my cereal every morning.

[@Eon69nc]

I keep saying this, your hard work just shows who really is important in this world. You feed our nation.

[@steveadams99708]

You swing a mighty sledgehammer Eric, and your dad has a lot of trust! :-) I really enjoyed the video. Thanks.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Clever idea with the pipes for sliding. The cows give you job security by breaking things so you can fix them lol. You look like you are going to be a great framer. Looking forward to seeing more of your carpentry skills. Thanks for the great video.

[@Forevertrue]

Really enjoy the improvements and upgrades to even small stuff. Its progress and it takes though and understanding. Thanks for this Eric and Dad.

[@flubber6667]

You remind me of me i used to go to work with my father when I was five years old he has his own business and he was trying to teach me the business at an early age listen to what your dad says you’re going to be a fine young man God bless you and your family nothing but the best for you thanks again from another Pennsylvanian

[@bitsandpeace]

I'm a new subscriber and want to say I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! I'm a retired engineer but also have an extensive construction background. It is great - and I mean GREAT! - to see a responsible - hard working - articulate and respectful man of your age farming AND doing all the videoing (and all that entails) and keeping up with all of your farm duties and responsibilities. You deserve any and ALL of the success you ever achieve. I know your dad is proud of you but so are all of us viewers I assure you. Your work ethic is an example for any at any age. Very few have the inner makings that you have no matter the age. Thank you so much! for all you do. The Welkors better watch out LOL tho I am sure they are very happy for your success as well. Would be great if you guys could make a video together sometime. Keep on Keepin on. You are definitely among the best our country has to offer. Thank you and God Bless!

I like these odd job videos, interesting to see the farm progressing.

Eric, Good luck on your office. You will have fun building it...You always go an awesome job on everything. So proud of you bud

[@thomasdaily4363]

Eric, you and your dad are a great team.

[@williamthomas8459]

Definitely like watching the office build!

[@lucasjohnson5419]

Yes! Lots of comments about tree planting. Dig hole 2x the size of the root ball. Buy tree mulch to fill around the root ball. I like to add a 4" piece of drain tile 16" long before back filling to make sure water is getting to the roots!

[@andiboiii2887]

These trees are a good idea. They're gonna look very nice when they're big.

[@jasonkotara2135]

Yep should have drilled that bed rock out with a fence auger! Trees are like corn need some room below for the roots!

[@jamesforman6587]

Apparently your father and you haven't seen a Sycamore leaf when it falls from the tree in the winter it's rather large and what a mess they make I call it a Holstein tree cuz it looks like white and brown or white and beige the bark is always falling off

[@petergillon9379]

I really like the idea with the owl you work pretty hard mate. And working with your dad is a good thing for you both.

[@1striperon]

I was taught that the hole for the tree root ball needed to be wide enough for some easy root growth with disturbed soil. Having planted trees in PA in the 15 years I lived there, I learned how hard the clay base would pack tight and resist root growth. In all the places I’ve lived, if I am planting trees or shrubs, the hole needed to be deep enough so a mixed layer of cow manure and soil would lift the plant to planting height. I wish your trees well, but if they don’t seem to be thriving, perhaps loosening soil around the root ball would help.

[@jasonkotara2135]

Yep looks like those trees are going to have to work hard!

[@TheVisidor]

Video made by you: perfect way to start the day!

[@Avatar-yp8yl]

Thank you for inspiring me to do stuff like this in the future!

Those sycamores will grow strong and huge and make some great shade, keep them watered good till they take hold, thanks for the great video Eric, ✅

the trees will be great water the edge of the tree not on trunk directly. watering further out along the edge where you planted the trees will promote faster growth. good luck. awesome stuff

Good job on the trees! 👍

[@shutterbugg5217]

Zacheus would be proud to sit in those trees someday. Quick tip: Any wood coming in contact with concrete should be pressure treated to prevent rot. Your bottom plates should be pressure treated, the rest can be standard lumber.

[@jasonkotara2135]

Yep you need that green shit! Or we can watch you replace it in 3 years.

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

Thanks for the tip, but its already built.

[@jamesm611]

@@10thgenerationdairyman good tree work. Zachius would be happy. Lol. Keep up the good videos

[@titanuranus]

I always dig my holes 3 (three) times the diameter of the pot and fill with a mix of manure (I suspect you may have some laying about somewhere), topsoil and just a wee tiny touch of lime, then add a bit of miracle grow once a week to the watering for the first growing season. It makes for a very healthy, happy tree.

Giving a farmer advice on how to plant and grow something. Classic!

[@charliesmith7492]

Hello, long time subscriber here, you are getting more subscribers everyday! That type of tree gets HUGE! I have one planted in late 40's and it's massive! It's far from the house, so no worries of falling over. Your location looks like you will be trimming branches in the future. Thanks for excellent videos!

[@marcclement7396]

I would love to know what any critic of these videos does for a living. Easy to sit on the couch with a bag of chips and make all sorts of suggestions... could do that, should have done this... You are kicking ass kid. Keep it going.

[@oules2783]

Love the videos. Being a multigenerational farmer myself I'd love to know your families progression and history. It seems as all your facilities are relatively new and knowing dairying this day in age, curious and jealous. Lol best wishes

[@danieldoering8722]

Your the hardest working person I know

[@robgauthier9249]

Have you and your Dad ever look into the Possibility of having a digester to make your own electricity for the farm? I sure do enjoy your videos. I had a uncle and cousin that had a small 125 cow dairy farm in northern Michigan. My uncle is in his 90’s now and don’t do to much anymore except pray for people. He and his sons are born again Christians and 2 of his sons Pastors. My cousin that worked the dairy farm with my uncle now is raising beef cattle. It is less work and the feed don’t have to be so perfect. One of his sons that a pastor lead me to the Lord. Made a big difference in my life and the way I look at things. God bless Rob

I feel like I am getting crossover of The Crazy Framer and the 10th Generation Dairyman in one great show. I love it!!!

[@Well_I_am_just_saying]

DEEPER!!! Bury the trees deeper in the ground! I always bury trees deeper than that so that the roots have a better chance of finding moisture until they get established. And it helps to prevent them from tipping over without needing to use stakes and ropes.

[@jceades1950]

Good video. Love just being able to spend some time with you seeing what you do on your days of odd jobs. Good idea to build yourself "a stall". LOL

I hope they grow. I saw two mistakes you made. Not being critical, the hole needed to be bigger. And you needed to make sure they was not root bound. Great video. I did the same mistake. many years ago. They didn't do very good. Hard expensive lessons.

[@jamesoostvogels1339]

We've had problems with birds in the bunk as well, especially in the winter. Tried the owl but they catch on. What works best for us is to leave the plastic long enough to cover the face. One more step throwing it over top and dropping back down when your done but it sure beats them stealing all the corn!

[@inglis7086]

trees need to be tied with pantyhose or old t-shirt strips what you used will keep them from falling over but will scrap the bark off the trees and maybe cut into the tree trunk - fruit farmers daughter 260 acres of fruit trees - a good days work there lots of good jobs done love those days they feel so productive - I always like hosing out the dairy yard the poo to clean lines - when you look back when it is done

Hey Eric, fruit trees next time. Just a thought. And the owl works great, but you have to put it up high, like on top of the bunker wall. Thx for the video, good luck on your project!

[@jceades1950]

Even if you could somehow mount the owl on some sort of pole up higher than the bunker wall. We had trouble with birds in our driving shed and a plastic owl hanging and swinging a bit just below the rafters worked well.

@@jceades1950 Hi there JC, The boy's got his lamp lit : ) He'll figure it out. The silage tarp is the issue, I think. The owl doesn't have to be right there either. The birds will see it far off. Just up, somewhere.
