Sure am missing Ms Stoney Ridge....she has such a sweet smile!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Cindy....she is no longer here my friend....I'll discuss this in a future video....but long story short we simply were not getting along. Neither of us deserved to argue with each other all the time. I still love her very much, but there comes a time when after 10 breakups and "move outs" ...that I just had to make a decision.....something just wasn't right....I don't know how best to put it....something changed and wasn't right. I wish I had better news

[@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923]

I know this is hard for both of you, wishing you both the best.

[@Jimboner08]

That’s horrible. Wish you the best. Heartbreak is indescribable.

[@drivinolered5835]

@@JamesG1126wow dude, how is that comment supposed to be helpful? This is hers and Josh’s lives not a sitcom and people’s (your) presumption to know everything or ability to give advice is sickening. Perhaps best to be supportive or say nothing at all. Josh, I wish you both all the best brother. Can’t imagine how difficult this is for you guys. Lean in to your faith and those that love you for strength. Praying for you both!

Good afternoon Josh its been pretty this afternoon sure glad to see you dragging the ground

[@terresiagregg9326]

The farm is looking awesome now

You need to get a battery operated grease gun my son got one for his Peterbilt n it works wonders he got the Dewalt

Plugging and dragging your pastures works wonders. Last week's rain helped immensely

[@RailheadRanch]

Your grass looks great!

[@ClickinChicken]

that's cool. Your equipment helps you out a lot! You're a detail oriented person. I read below, sorry Stoney, didn't work out with Cindy. 💯 "Freedom tell you what you can kiss!' Wooo! end message.

[@centexhomeranch7821]

IS there a video going over that mobile chicken coop build? I have an old hay wagon frame I could use to do the same thing!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yep...there's a link at the end of this vid I believe...or go back a few weeks in my content and you'll find it

[@michaelchristoforo6781]

I would love to hear you started as a first-generation farmer

[@Thanny2000]

Hey Josh! Is cousin G taking the dump truck for good or just borrowing it? I liked that ole thing

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

he's taking it back....we dont' need it anymore..plus no tittle!!

[@scottsmith6846]

Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it woo

[@howdyshaun6139]

With all those grease points... need to find a battery grease gun sponsor... @MilwaukeeTool ? 😆

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I have a battery grease gun...it's good for doing in the shop work...but outside the manual is just easier to handle....only takes about 2 pumps per fitting...farming is work no matter what my friend...I've found that power grease guns put in too much grease sometimes and blow seals

[@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923]

Wow, your land has matured out so nice. Also, just stunning with the beautifully kept graveled areas. My dad used to do this to our pastures and it sure made a difference. Take care.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Time to have some time with your cousins ❤😊

[@BigRigRich]

I invested in a Milwaukee grease gun about a year ago. One of my best investments!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yep...I've got a milwaukee and a dewalt....but they never seem to be where I need them lol

[@tlm3574]

Wonder with that powerful tractor if you could pull a harrow(with a pull type tool bar, of course) behind the mower and make a 1 pass action.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

you'd just rake up all that you mowed my friend

[@drumhillerfarms6858]

14 day rotation? How does the grass recover that quick?

[@ruffneckranch]

His region has a ton to do with it. But his program helps a lot too. You can’t do that in a Utah or Wyoming desert environment. That’s why he can have 30+ cows per acre vs in a place like I live, 1 cow would need 30 acres

[@drumhillerfarms6858]

@@ruffneckranch I rotate 12 hours and live in a similar rain rainfall never seen a 14 day rotation

[@stubblejumper3125]

A quick hitch would make connecting and disconnecting from the drag a lot easier.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Cat 3 quick hitch is tough to find my friend...this is big equipment

[@pedritoc.c.t.665]

I have 10 acres any ideas what could i used them for . I want cowd goats sheep etc but dunno

[@jameskaiser1069]

Was that old Mater the dump truck getting ready to leave the farm? We have not seen him in a long time.

[@timeintheuk]

your batwing reminds me of a bedstead . works well tho

[@KapperOutdoors2.0]

Man that drag is sweet!! Nice new pasture management plan you've got going on Josh! And nice dual purpose for that thing! Dirt, grass and gravel grading! Cheers brother! LOL like that you still have the reverse beeper on! :)

[@williamdevos604]

would that harrow also spread more of the parasites on the grass?

Weed wacker

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

the cows keep the fence line trimmed up pretty good.....I've probably weed whacked the fence lines for 3 hours in the past 3 years...now mowing...yes...probably 15 hours a year mowing with the ventrac around the outside edges

[@Mammothbaron]

Curious, how often do you put lime on your fields?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I use a product called solucal...it's similar to lime. I target a few acres per year...but if we can get the soil right...and use the animals...we should theoretically not need lime...lime is a patch for a larger problem..no hummus...the urine and manure that comes out of the cow is ph neutral..which should bring the Ph of the soil up

[@Mammothbaron]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer love your channel btw. See if your local agricultural university offers soil testing. In West Virginia we had free soil testing and I would send in soil samples and get a report of the soil chemistry. Our clay soils there were very acidic, you can always tell because blackberry’s love acid soil. We would always spread pulverized lime stone (always buy the cheap stuff) and see great results from the plants and chemistry. Many things cause acidification of the soils. Acid rain, organically breaking down, and nitrification from fertilizers. The more organics and fertilizers (cow manure and urine) the more acidification you will experience. The urine maybe neutral coming out, but ph changes once it’s in the soil with bacteria. If you feel like it’s not worth the money, try a test area and apply different doses of lime. Your animals will also appreciate the added calcium for mommy cows who need keep up their minerals for lactating. I highly caution against putting the “recommended” fertilizer dosing that the soil tests call for, usually the amounts are 2x-4x too much. Lime first, and fertilize minimally. I have always preferred to fertilize about half of the recommended amount, and apply 1/4 of the amount I plan to put on each week with a walking spreader. When you apply as lightly and as often as I do, you won’t run into burning or wasting money. It’s great exercise too. After the fields are a month into growth, you don’t need any additional fertilizer, it’s starting to go to seed and you will just waste any extra spreading. You should do this as a video and it will be wildly popular and educational. You have plenty of acreage to show a decent test.

[@Self.reliant]

Man that field is looking way better then even a year ago.nice work. Also we just had a mink break into our coop and tok out all but 1 rooster. But n the bright side we got the mink today so when we restart our flock or egg birds there will be less danger. Also repaired the coop so I'm hoping we should be good. It took a tiny hole and made it about 3 x the size so it could fit through
