Week Recap: Getting Everything Ready to Go for Spring!

Everything is full steam ahead with getting equipment ready to go for the coming season! In the shop this week we had the 8295 and one of the anhydrous applicators, both new to us, to go through and get them straightened out. Sorry for the late video (took all Sunday to upload), and thank you so much for watching another week!
p.s. after reading a few of the first comments, I think you’ll hear me say in the video that I know I’m not chubby and that the chubby comment was a joke on how close my dad parks the equipment to each other.

Thanks again for sharing your world with us. Your videos are entertaining and informative. I really appreciate the various perspectives and duties regarding everyone involved at the farm. Y’all spend more time in the shop than I expected but it is now apparent how much time is required to keep everything in great operating condition. Your Dad has an unbelievable work ethic that you are describing very well as a storyteller. The rodent control is something most folks don’t discuss, thanks for the insight. Love your videos and appreciate your willingness to share so much! Your beautiful and enjoyable to watch! Stay Safe.

[@Galiuros]

Modern farms require an amazing amount of equipment, planning and experience. Erin has really given us an insight on what goes into feeding us and the world.

[@Col-Hogan]

You have to admire your dad on his discipline on maintaining his equipment! I sure do!

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Your not chubby Erin. Your normal and perfect the way you are. We love you and are so proud of you for keeping the girls on the farm understood. LOL Don't you ever change girl. EVER

[@johnmontana18]

Your Dad's farm is amazing. So immaculate. Interesting to see the contrast between this farm and another one that is a mess. Lovely people but everything is a mess. I won't name it. They try so hard and it is a mess. They can never get ahead to get where they can see the light due to weather and low income from cattle. Your farm is a model, an example of perfection, outstanding planning and management. You present it well. You are only single cause you are so far out in the boonies that the good guys never see you. You are a catch and I pray the right one will find you. Thank you for educating us about farming.

[@scottbrader-kd9vyy225]

Is there anything your Dad can't fix?!?!?! That's the American Farmer at work. Thanks for all you do.

[@ReadTheShrill]

The thing about Vegemite is: it's SUPER strong. If you put it on your toast like butter, it's gonna be nasty. But if you just baaaarely skim it onto your toast, it actually tastes okay. I don't eat it much because it's hard to get here in the states so it's not worth the effort, but tastes good enough that I can see why some people really like it.

[@MarkWatsonSMTX]

I'm a little younger than your dad. One of the funniest things about your channel is watching your dad's reaction in the background. Now that your making money off the channel he's cleaning your office and your car. Tough week for him.

[@floydseaton8197]

I enjoyed yet another episode of your channel. These videos are showing the amount of preparation that goes in, behind the scenes to be a successful farmer. The rodents and varment are a constant battle but at least your dog took care of one wrasklie wrabitt. Keep up the interesting work.

[@dstockt]

Our wild raccoons love cheap hot dogs. Erin is such a great ambassador for farming. Much respect for all they do.

[@johnbullard2129]

Your dad saw his office on your show! Knew he could do better. You all run a great business. Have a great day.

[@rondys]

Another day in the life of a farm girl. Love watching the content Erin. You are just too adorable!

[@joe_preston]

Anhydrous toolbar: the first wheel cuts through trash in the field like a pizza cutter through toppings. The Knife cuts a deep groove like top cutting a cake. The closers cover kind of like pushing mashed potatoes with a fork.

[@erichause7358]

Watching you holding wheel bolts, reminded me of when I was a kid helping my oldest brother work on cars. Thanks for the memory. I love watching your weekly overview of the week. Keep up the good work.

[@swaits4no1]

Thanks Erin, gives us that dont do this everyday the perspective of what has to be done to get items grown and to us that enjoy..

[@shanegreensky1227]

You are the cutest, lil hard working gal out there, even with your stuffed up nose... I’m a chef in northern Minnesota, and it’s awesome to see where and how the ingredients I cook with start from... love your vids...

[@according2petey25]

👍 awesome!! Never a dull moment farming🚜 🌾spring is in the air! 🌱🌾🌱planting season is the best.. Keep smiling little lady😉

[@mp15a]

Great Job As Always Erin! Enjoy Your Work!

[@johnc2292]

Vegemite is something only an Australian could love.

[@Jarrodjohn2007]

Or a Seventh Day Adventist. 😊

[@wileecoyote1362]

The best thing to put on your toast for breakfast.

[@vk2ig]

We had a vegemite tasting session one time when visiting the States. I told some people that it was a derivative of a lithium-based axle grease ...

[@keithroberts4559]

Marmite is far superior to Vegemite, which is why us Kiwis eat it. 😋😋

[@collywobbles1163]

Loving your videos from Cambridge UK, as a little kid I grew up on tobacco and dairy farms in Rhodesia in the late 70's. Brings back good memories. And, now also your dog! OM so chuffed with herself - look Mom, I done good and caught us a rabbit.

[@CAFEX24]

OMG you work sooo hard...how are you gonna find the man of your dreams? Theres someone out there waiting for you...and wont he be soo lucky!

[@briancclevenger]

Thank you for another great episode of "Here on the Farm". You do such a great way of explaining in a down-to-earth way. Hope you stay safe and warm. Take care.

[@celticRicky]

Your dad is such a hard worker

[@Torsee]

Justincase you haven’t heard lately..your gorgeous! Love visiting with you and hearing about the farm.

[@davidburleson4812]

I really enjoy your videos, you're so calming and you do a really good job examining how things work. Keep em coming. Have a safe week, and God bless ya'll.

[@ronf.3708]

Not chubby ... absolutely beautiful.

[@jtjjbannie]

I said the same thing and she removed my comment. Twice. It's funny how sometimes you try to compliment a woman and then you are a creep for doing it. I'll never understand that.

[@anthonytetreau522]

Perfect in every way....lol

[@ernholbert]

@@jtjjbannie I didn’t remove any comments?

[@gordbaker896]

Simply Solid.

[@jtjjbannie]

@@ernholbert Someone must have. I know I didn't Enjoy your day!

[@Rudeman53Gaming]

I grew on on small farms. I miss the farm lifestyle so I enjoy watching farming videos. PS I love the soft music you have in your videos. Just the right sound level.

[@jeffreyjohnston1330]

Erin, you make my life better!!! Keep up the good work.😍

[@erikk5992]

I love your braid never seen it like that before .

[@taylor11089]

Glad to see I’m Not the Only 1 who won’t let anyone throw away My Magazines! Thanks for The Content & have a Great Day!

[@wno1043]

I love these videos! I've learned so much ...and she's so cute!

[@scable-eq7bp]

My grandmother is from Australia, when she moved to America she brought a whole boatload of Vegemite with her. Nobody in the family would eat it, that stuff tasted so bad even the dogs and pigs refused to eat it. Granny found out by accident you can use Vegemite as a cleaner, she would clean her whole house with that stuff, she had the cleanest and shiniest toilet in Newport, Indiana.

[@bryanmaxwell7332]

I got me an entire case of Vegemite from my Australian USMC buddy...love it...best metal polish on the planet and tasty on toast...🇺🇸😎

[@richardanderson2742]

Thank you for sharing your week. Not that you need another person to point out the obvious, but you are beautiful and should never worry about your looks. You are the epitome of the perfect farm partner.

[@Thunderdog440]

This my friends is a TRUE American woman. Not all inked up from head to toe, She don't have holes punched all over her face, She is a honest, loyal, Hard working full blooded American woman. Not at all like the ones who think they are so much better than everyone else and you need 3000 friends on facebook before you qualify for conversation just like the 22 that think the thumbs DOWN fits her. But hey,, They are jealous because they KNOW they cant compare to Erin in ANY way whatsoever. If only we had more like you baby girl. America loves you and what you do to keep our country fed.

[@anthalas9]

From what I have seen I could not agree more! Erin you rock!

[@DANDY1]

Hello erin, good to see the snow disappearing, it kinda cheers up every one that has snow, it is wonderful that you show these videos to the world because thousands of people have no idea how or what it takes to start the process of the foods we eat to survive a lot of people take it for granted!!!!!!!( A BIG THANK YOU ).

[@landonthings]

This one was great Erin!! 4:00 I spy THE go cart. Many good times had riding that!!

[@frankcollins4482]

Erin, you do a great job and I always look forward to your videos. Your inner beauty matches your outer beauty. Keep up the good work!!!!

[@comradeinjun]

Thank you for sharing. I truly appreciate what you and your family do.

[@marknewman5847]

Thanks for sharing looking forward to seeing videos of you and your family out in the field working this spring be safe

[@ericmillergppianoman8611]

Your explanation about the applicator implement was fine. Don’t sell yourself short. You know what you’re talking about. Thank you!

[@davidbrubaker5146]

Thanks once again for sharing.

[@scottganjon6895]

Erin , Enjoyed the video. You know your way around a shop. The Deere dealer I work for could use you 🤗. You have a great week.

[@thundernuts9283]

at 2:45 when your Dad says.."who wants to look at a tractor?" You Say..apparently 45 THOUSAND people say other wise Pop...

[@darylkimball6385]

Nice to have a shop to get equipment done for spring We always had to work outdoors. But then We didn't have equipment like what You have there. Our biggest tractor was a 4020 JD

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Erin

[@paulleducii5292]

Thank you for another great video. The office and kitchen look great. I enjoy your videos...I feel like I'm right there walking and spending time with you on your daily tasks.. Keep up the great job. Share this with your dad and family. Farmers are GREAT!!!

[@RockStarParking10]

Farmers are some of the hardest working people, anywhere

[@gordbaker896]

All so very interesting seeing your fantastic equipment and what it takes to keep it fantastic. I don't think they took off 4" ! How many acres of land does your family farm? Chubby? NOT!

[@SSPJG3]

Great stuff Erin. Thanks much for posting. 👍

[@orsonyancey4131]

Hi Erin, I just discovered your channel. My background is dairy farming. Thank you for sharing with me the life of grain farming.

[@Busted-Buzzard]

Your voice is so calming, in a Bob Ross sorta way🤣👍

[@Woopwoopwill]

That's kinda weird. Lol

Cant wait for the therapeutic paint session...

[@markchristopher5287]

Definitely agree on the Vegimite!!! You are great at describing the differences. Thank you!!!!

[@danfinley3690]

Thank you for taking us all along on your daily working hrs always so informative hope ya get that raccoon

[@TBPollock]

In my opinion, the reason for this show's popularity is Erin's essential, bedrock,, decency. (Not a tattoo or piece of facial metal in sight.)

[@jimwilliams2682]

If she had a tattoo, it would have a green tractor on it.

[@brianhapeman9262]

Very true. Although, I know many incredibly decent people with tattoos.

[@Cooldaddio2]

Shes purdy

[@ccotcamp]

Erin is not only smart, but has a great work ethic, AND is entrepreneurial. She presents herself just as she is... a real person, no airs about herself or her family. She is also a God-fearing woman with decent morals and good fiber. She is a treasure amongst women. She would make a great partner to someone who has a strong drive for success, who treats others with kindness and compassion, not given to drunkenness, slow to anger, and well-rounded. That’s what this guy sees.

[@TBPollock]

@@brianhapeman9262 As do I, including my sister and granddaughters. That being said, I still consider females who deface themselves; of suspect character, pending further indications either way.

[@baneverything5580]

You look perfect the way you are.

[@jasonhand7969]

First mistake people make is put too much on toast. Plenty of butter/margarine and a light sporadic spread of vegemite.

[@vk2ig]

Good advice! If you can't see the butter/margarine through the vegemite, then you've put on waaaaaay tooooo much vegemite!

[@jasonhand7969]

@@vk2ig also can be used when making gravy for beef if Erin is finding it hard to use.

[@ckline5486]

Another great video by the not chubby Erin. Thank you Ms. Holbert and God bless.🙂

very well done Erin. Wish I could hear you better. ...thanks for educating us "non-farmers".

The 8420s were great in their day but I like the 8295 style better. Cab interior more streamed line and better A/C.

[@RealLimerickman]

Your dad reminds me of two guys who moved to another group. I called them the odd couple in their new job. Two very opposite guys. One is a messy individual, hoarder of things. If you go to his desk, it is full of all sort of things (like a junk yard, and looks like a desk where people dumb all their unwanted things. Yet ask him for a documentation or technical spec or parts, and he find it through the mess jungle as his arms disappear into the mess and pull it out. The other guy is a neat freak and his desk looks like it is someone visiting with very little things. Even his computer filing systems of files etc is in order and everything is labeled. Ask him for any technical spec or issue documentation or part and it takes him ages to find it. Then eventually the messy guy was told to clean up, and to keep his desk clean. Now he cannot find anything or takes ages and the neat guy still takes ages to find things. Moral of the story keep some messy area, because there were the parts you need to most in a hurry.
