I lived in Michigan for over a decade…loved it up there! Loved the open land, real people! Still have wonderful friendships that have endured over the years, even though I left in 2009. I don’t miss the winters, though! I’ve got a small homestead with a couple of milk cows. Blessed to have such a life! Your video’s are a true testament to being a good steward! God bless!🙏🏻✝️🐂🇺🇸🐄

Thanks for another great video Kip. It was interesting and enjoyable. My compliments to you Kip for your skills with the drone. Your drone footage is absolutely wonderful. Love watching the drone footage with the music. Thanks. Filling silos time again. Will be busy time for all of you. Appreciate you going over your tractor and haying equipment inventory. Is really interesting how your operation utilized your equipment. Do understand the DEF issue. Is expensive getting and handling the def fuel. Like you, would try and find older equipment that does not require the def. Your tractors are older but in really nice condition. Thanks again for showing us around your equipment. Your haying equipment is good equipment. I am amazed at how many silage wagons you have and the old type wagon. Good show Kip. When you all go hay and silage you are on the move. Good show. I bet you are always on the lookout for those type wagons. Hard to find nowadays. Building maintenance is always needed with big animals around. You do a great job keeping up with maintenance and same on your tractors. You keep em clean. That counts in the long run. Love love your shirt Kip. Farm Dad-outstanding!!!!!! Looks good on you. About it I guess for now. Will be quiet for a change. Ha. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Kip and family. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

New subscriber here, I love the video! I like how you explain the equipment, year of manufacture and how you got it from auction and rebuilt them. My Dad was a mechanic all my life and most everything we had was rebuilt and I appreciate that more! All water troughs have to be cleaned anyway, so I like yours. Your cows look so beautiful and healthy. I like how you brag on the girls. You have a wonderful big family that should be proud of how you work so hard together for success. Grandma Kim❤️

Love to do some chopping too. Working on 3rd cutting too . Way the weather has become this year we may just get a 4th cutting yet too. Hopefully the cow you were showing in the last video that looked droopy after calving was ok. You will find no DEF on our farm. We haven't bought tractors any newer than the Reagan Administration.

Just what do you mean by, "emissions free" ? 1. That tractor has Adblue (Urea) dosing and exhaust will be Notrogen and water 2. Diesel engine combustion products are mainly NOX (Oxides of Nitrogen ) and very little CO2 3. Why would anyone who is farming want 'less CO2' ?
