Week Recap: Getting Stuff Cleaned Up from Harvest and Ready for Spring

Fingers crossed this was the last week of washing and waxing because I think that’s the last of equipment that needed it......I’m sure I’m forgetting something though. Overall nothing too exciting (please excuse my rant at the end of the video), but one week closer to planting!

[@bischoff6981]

Great job standing up for yourself and your Dad. Unfortunately, everyone has opinions but the only person you need to keep happy is yourself. Keep it up.

[@daniellachowitzer4216]

I couldn't agree more Seth and with cell phone and social media we have to hear them.

I guess I missed the excitement. From her description it sounds like some white knights were responding to something she said. They don't know that it's not about the nail, lol.

Yeah, and the haters will be hated by other haters. Vicious cycle.

[@marklawrence7412]

I grew up on a grain farm, I love your videos ! Most people outside of farming have no idea of the amount of work, stress and time. Farming isn’t a job it’s i life style. All the young men in the area should be lining up to “ court” a young lady like you!! All the best

[@scottganjon6895]

Erin. From what I see you do an amazing job. There will always be people that think they need to criticize someone even when they don’t have a clue about that person’s day to day life. I want to commend you all on keeping your equipment that nice. I am a Deere service tech and you should see how some equipment is treated. You have a beautiful shop. Take care and be safe 🙂

[@ron827]

GREAT attitude and it is cool to have a warm and dry place to work, thanks to your dad who may have also helped with college. Compliments help build self esteem and non constructive criticism tears it down. There is only one job where one can start at the top and that is digging a hole. Follow your heart.

[@vk2ig]

"There is only one job where one can start at the top and that is digging a hole." I like that!

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Great stuff.... Taking care of the equipment, wash/wax, pays in big dividends when trade in time comes and shows "pride" in your work.

[@tgh75]

You do a great job of being you from what I can see. I’m sure it could be easy to be one of those people that think you’re too good to do something. It’s nice to see someone not only stand up for themselves but also stand for what they believe as well. Keep being you!

[@daniellachowitzer4216]

Erin the greatest thing about this country is you have the right to do what you want to make a living. I think it's fantastic that you have decided to stayed on the farm and help your dad. Your right it is character building.

@@Tanks-In-Space Weimerica has been gone for a while, it's just that even normal people are noticing it now.

[@vk2ig]

@@Tanks-In-Space But that has been happening for a while in other countries, though. Years ago a guy in the UK was involved in a football (soccer) brawl, and he was photographed hurling a seat at someone ... it ended up plastered online and on the front page of the morning papers. His employer sacked him that very day, saying his actions didn't reflect the organisation's core values. With the internet these days, it's like back in the old days when people lived in a small village - if a person does something other people don't like, it sticks to them because everyone knows and remembers.

[@ckline5486]

Erin is such a lovely person. Her videos are interesting but I also enjoy her kind, down to earth personality. Thank you Erin. : )

[@bgundt]

You do a great job telling us about farming and yourself. Being one of those farm kids that went on to different career 50 years ago I think about how I would be if times would have supported me in the family farm. Thanks for sharing your days with us all. Today I have no regrets.

[@RiggintheDubVee]

It's women like you that give me hope. You are a special kind of person that people are drawn to. Keep up the great work and keep giving other country folk hope. Love your videos and watching you grow.

[@mikeglick5525]

Just for the record I like to say I applaud your work ethic. I'm in residential constuction northern IN and so many people think every job I give them is beneath them.

[@wadefallin]

WOW! Erin, you are so wise beyond your years! At timestamp 13:55 you stated "You shouldn't be making other people do stuff that you wouldn't be willing to do yourself"! I was a career Navy sailor, and as such was in charge of various working parties (i.e. cleaning details). Unlike many of my peers, I was a leader that would never ask someone working for to do something that I had not done previously myself. I got more done, in the right way, and in less time than those who criticized my style of leadership. I was also one who if I saw something not being done right, I would jump in and educate the person doing a task wrong, the proper way to do it. It's just basic common sense and I;m so happy to hear you make the above statement. Well done Erin!

[@rogerp5201]

Thank the Lord for families like yours. We need you in these times. Thank You.

[@arrowkart4j]

Nice to see you standing up for your Dad. You definitely have the right attitude and work ethic.. The problem today is people are keyboard warriors sitting behind their computer. They say things they would never say to you in person, that's sad. Don't let negative people drag you down, keep doing what you're doing. Keep up the good work.

I have never commented on a video, but was moved to do so by your comments. I cannot imagine a better life than being a part of the family farm. Those of us who have worked on a farm understand the vast variety of jobs required to keep a farm running and non of them are demeaning.

[@americasdream1265]

Erin I will be honest I don't think you was bad mouthing your father however after I seen your video the last time I went to my 21 year old daughter who is a junior at Purdue and asked her if she thought I was to hard on her. So we all know now that you love your father and are thankful for him which as a father myself is all I could ask and hope for.

[@ChaoticClyde]

When you have equipment that makes you money you have to take care of it. Clean it, service it, and basically baby it. Good on ya for taking up for yourself and your dad. I love how people throw opinions or criticize when they have no idea what the hell the situation is or how you feel about it, people need to learn how to mind their own situations and keep opinions and all to their selves. Suddenly thankful for hydraulic jacks. Keep doing what ya do beautiful.

While you may think your current tasks are "boring", many of us are here just to get a glimpse of a different way of life- Boring is sitting at a computer all day, working from home, waiting on an ail reply...

[@Sasqadian]

Erin, I gotta say that when I first saw your videos, the thing that drew me to watching was that I had grown up on a small family farm (dairy) in Oregon and recognized that same feeling again. Then I saw your Instagram where it says "Farm Raised / God Made, Jesus Saved" and ever since you have been my sister in Christ. I understand that you must get far too many comments and messages that are not good, but please don't let them get you down. Your honesty and openness about your daily work & struggles has made me respect you even more. Keep up the great job of making these videos! Even though it may seem like there are sooo many creepy, small-minded fools who can't see a person for who they are instead of what they look like, I truly believe that there are far more of us who enjoy watching your videos because it feels like home: a simple, hard-working life. Go bless you and yours, and I will continue praying for you to be who our Lord wishes for you to be! Have a great day!

[@christopherm7702]

I left a job that I went to school for and took what some would call a grunt job in order to improve my quality of life and to pursue dreams that I had. If a job does not fit you and your personality, it can never bring satisfaction no matter what the pay or what others think of you. You just keep being you and pursuing your dreams. Keep up the good work and thanks for the car talk today. God Bless!

[@artd.]

I don't comment much on the channels i subscribe to because i enjoy how different ways farmers run their operation. But when assholes criticize a family operation I can hold back. I think you do a wonderful job. I know that your family is proud of You and in today's world it is hard to keep the tradition of family farms going. Erin just keep doing what you are doing. I know that your family is proud of the help you give. I am 70 years old, grew up on a farm in Oklahoma went to college then to work in the Oil industry, made a good living , retired and living comfortably. I now wish that I had stayed on the farm. It was such a good life and I didn't realize it.

You appear to be doing something that you love and extending your families legacy in agriculture. I couldn't find a fault with that at all. To many people from rural and farming communities leave small towns behind for the search of big bucks and what they think is a better life. Bravo to you for doing something that isn't all that glamorous. Your dad has standards that he wants to keep with having clean equipment. Nothing wrong with that at all. Keep living your life the way you want it kid. You don't know everything but you are definitely learning it as you go.

I'm not going to farm corn and soybeans, but some thing else. I have not retied yet and am still in California, the reason I like to watch your channel is for two reason. I can see how the weather is there and enjoy the seasons virtually. second, your farm activities are what my new neighbors would be doing.

You are truly the tough, rugged people who make up the American spirit and keep this country balanced and pushing forward. I thank each and everyone of you no matter where you are!!
