Week Recap: Beans, Never-ending Spikes, and Rain

Let’s get back to the week recaps! I know sometimes they’re a little boring (especially for me 😅), but they’re some of my favorite videos to make because it’s always nice to look back and see what you’ve accomplished in the last week. We finished cleaning up tractors at the beginning of the week, got the cultivator pulled into the shop to work on and get spring ready, sold some beans, and got some much needed rain. Thank you so much for watching!

Any week without an injury or something breaking down is a good week on the farm.😁Love the weekly updates. Glad to see you are staying far away from big tires.😂

[@keithbennett5519]

You and your dad are two hardworking farmers, Keep up with the amazing videos

[@jimkatanski19]

I’m so happy to see you back 😊

[@rackets001]

I remember the first Erin Holbert video I stumbled across a few years back was Erin playing with a wild racoon. Glad I stuck around!

[@randydobson1863]

hello Erin & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Erin & Friends Randy

[@leomcavoy5770]

🇺🇸 I want to apologize for putting my '2 cents' worth on your survey!! I should have commented that it was your channel, I enjoy YOUR content. I'm not much of a chef but your cooking videos are welcome because you talk, tell stories & etc., make it interesting. I love the farming vids cause I'm a 64 y.o. that stove himself all to...um...pieces several times and I can farm vicariously through you, LOL. God bless, be true to you. 🙏🚜🌽🌾🚜🙏

[@preciousmemories6890]

When one is homebound ... trust me ... they are NEVER boring! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@GaryEvans-lt2pn]

Erin your father and you have a very clean equipment and shop. Glad you stayed away from tire because you don't need crushed again. You look tired don't overdo it and God bless you and your family .

[@landonhall6444]

Erin, thank you. Its good to see you posting again. I hope that everyone in your family is doing well. I especially appreciate our family farmers and the behind-the-scenes view that you provide adds dimension to all the hard work and day to day maintenance that goes on to keep an operation like yours running. Really, really good work.

[@jeffferanec4526]

Hello Erin, good to see & hear you as always Pretty Farmer Lady. Sure can understand U being a bit gun-shy around moving those tractor rears. Thank you for sharing/posting today!

[@hotbug597]

So wonderful to see you posting again. Even before you said it, when I saw that big tire I exclaimed “warning Erin, look out for the darned tire!” Boy, do I remember what you went through with one of those things. That was horrible. Weird how your grain prices went down but our groceries went way up. Hmmmm

[@kennethgreen2829]

So good to have you back as I really enjoy your videos, and no, they are never boring.

[@daleberghorn6504]

Good to see your videos again love your shop farm life is the best theres ups and downs but cant beat outdoors working the ground riding them nice green tractors😊

[@kevink4914]

First I have heard it mentioned like that 😂 a day made for ducks 😂 I like it 💁‍♂️

[@patblaney3895]

Nice to see you back and doing well go easy and dont get yourself burnt out coz we will miss you again

[@tedhadi2942]

Greetings to the Most Beautiful Farmer.

[@mastinfowler8225]

Glad to see you back on you tube with your videos! Congratulations to you on your wedding..👏🎊

[@stanley-rn7xo]

You and your dad run a very clean and well-maintained farm your equipment never seems to be dirty that’s a good thing. Glad to see your back kiddo.

[@jimdarhower4945]

I’m surprised he doesn’t make her do it with a toothbrush.

[@edwardallbeck1089]

A safe spring to you and all of us farmers!

[@taz58]

Hello nice seeing you again yins do a great job cleaning equipment

[@MarkoGrujic-n4t]

E to kod nas devojke nerade teki nema,najboljasi 👍

[@royhi1809]

You are such a wonderful person... Your parents must be so proud of you. May God bless you and keep you and your family well.

[@rongrose3746]

Praying that you and all your family have a safe planting season ! Corn and soybean prices are definitely horrible again .

[@derekjohnson5150]

Great to see you back. Wishing you guys a great season ahead !!

[@cervus-venator]

Yes ma'am you stay away form those big tractor tires especially on a wet day like that. Thanks for sharing. Oh to me the old tines on the cultivator didn't look too bad, but then again I likely would run them until there was only about 7 inches left. I guess that is why I'm not a commercial farmer. Again thanks for sharing.

[@TommyTroll1.1]

God bless you and your family abundantly 🙏❤️

[@bertrutledge4546]

Thanks for the update Erin. Hope planting goes well. Stay away from loose tires. Hope everyone is doing well.

[@Scott-ms3ug]

It's known that farmers are the biggest gamblers in the world! Hope for the best and prepare for the worst and you are never surprised! God bless all the farmers! You represent the best of Hoosier Farmers! ❤

[@tracydiller9378]

Great video Erin. Pray you and your family have a GREAT season and a safe one. God Bless.

[@davidharris2519]

love your smile and personality

[@anthonydolezal6627]

Hey Erin! Glad to see you! That's for the recap. Keep Smilin!!!!

[@brentevans8249]

Happy Friday

[@africadreamin]

Hi Erin, It's midnight here in Ireland and I was just about to shut down and you popped up. Your workshops and your equipment are something else, I'd be embarrassed to show you my workshop, the way you look after your equipment, down to cleaning and polishing is a credit to you and your dad.

[@davidbrubaker5146]

Most things of significant importance have a boring and basic backbone that supports the consistency and longevity of the endeavor. Thank you for showing us the "boring" because it allows us to appreciate the harvest and thank the farmer. Thank you.

[@waylonbadger5725]

that is pretty cool looking spikes you guys got there erin and good day.

[@lyleminyard2308]

Thanks for the video,Erin it was good!

[@nathanyoder4509]

Thanks for another video! Hope bowling went well!

[@dustinetzel7330]

Your videos make me happy. Glad you found happiness. Not many people are as naturally awkward as you. It’s perfect.

[@mwfarms]

First off belated congratulations on getting married. You guys are so blessed to have found each other in this crazy messed up world. Second it's quite impressive and commendable how you keep your equipment so clean and well kept. It's so much easier to spot problems with clean equipment. Hats off to y'all for that. Take care.

[@briannelson4246]

Erin . You are such a classy lady. Absolutely a sweetheart.

[@tommyfreeman5006]

Nice seeing you back on utube again

[@jaygreentree4394]

I am so thankful you are doing youtube again. It just didnt feel like my routine was complete.

[@timschmelzer5259]

Glad to see you are back

[@TomBow606]

Days made for ducks makes it nice having a good shop!

[@msnextone1017]

💞 best wishes for you...its been a long time....im not english native, but i want to tell you that i learn a lot from your videos.. i had no idea how sophisticated machines have become.... anyway 💞 best wishes for you and yours....

[@RealLimerickman]

Well about cleaning. I know Irish dairy farmers who have so much mud and manure that it doubles as a gasket. Many of their local fame is how much muck is on their tractors. It also helps to keep the tractors warm in cold and wet Ireland. 😅😅 Their cleaning regimes taking off the cab doors and leaving them out in the rain as the water filters down through the cab rusty cracks.

[@donh6416]

You clean your equipment because that who you are. Attention to details is one way to keep the equipment that supplies your income in good running condition. It also allows you time to repair broken or damaged items without a tractor being out of use when it needed.

[@samh3029]

Man oh man, I love the background music.

[@bladewiper]

Good idea staying away from the wheel, we don't need another sprayer incident. Those spikes look like they would make great tent pegs. Thanks for the video.

[@DuckFarms]

Love your videos keep it up!!

[@williamwright8286]

Keep them coming

[@lilmikeyab]

I'm amazed you did all those done with just a ratchet! My fingers & wrists would be killing me. Also it always surprises me how new your tractors look. They all look better than new

[@bruceschwertner9343]

Hope you are doing well and I am glad that God put the love of your life to you, now a married couple; congratulations!!! I hope you all have good crops this year, may God bless all of you and your families!

[@centexan]

A clean shop is where you don't mind working under a tractor or implement.

[@davidmccrackin2000]

Your marketing strategy is like mine Erin. I wish I would’ve contracted corn last year when it was around $6.50 but we didn’t have any rain until the end of June and corn was already going backwards the first part of June. Same thing with beans, shoulda sold them off the combine and would’ve been farther ahead lol oh well just hope they go up some more so I can keep going

[@bodereiss]

A little battery powered 3/8 drive impact wrench would rock your world! Probably cut the spike replacement time significantly.

[@ernholbert]

Actually, it wouldn’t since each one only needed loosened a few turns. An impact would’ve made it take longer.

[@bekind8246]

Thank God for the hardworking American Farm Families!

[@shauncarl9535]

Great content, and congratulations on your new marriage. I'm happy for you ❤

[@carlw7002]

Don't feel bad it happened to a lot of us missing the markets good to see you back

[@lyonsgreg]

Thanks Ern!

[@danielglaus2064]

Welcome back!

[@ricktricksfixx5970]

Hey Kid!! Good seeing Ya!!

[@rodneypotter6023]

Glad to see you back Erin looking forward to seeing more videos and the farming through the year

[@paulouellette7630]

As always love watching your videos 👍

[@genechronister7085]

Another great vid! Have fun and be safe

[@kelvinrf]

That was an interesting comment about the price drop on your beans. I'm dairy farming in New Zealand and prices here are dropping. In the last month the sheep milk industry has gone bust and goat milk production has been dropped in half. When I look at the war in the Ukraine, where is all the production coming from. 👍

[@georgeallen4495]

You work hard and you're such a sweet person Erin. God Bless.

[@davidjohnson6184]

Good to see your doing good keep it up. Get some rest

[@TimMai-tf5pc]

Always good to see different perspectives of farming. Hopefully bowling picked up your spirits. I am surprised you do not use a cordless impact for harrow tines. Would be a lot less work and faster. Thanks for the video.

[@werewolfspirit7276]

Ma'am you need some metal workboots , seeing you working on all the heavy machinery with your sneakers is giving me sweaty palms 😅

[@tacocin]

Blessings!

[@Smokey9046P]

Thank God for all the farmers we need you'll more than most know. Thanks to our vets and truck driver. You'll are the most important people.

[@seanpierce7673]

Hey Erin! Great to see yeah! Hey tip to keep the floors clean or easy to keep clean! After you get them clean wax them with a rubber flor wax and let it dry! Then all you have to do it wipe them out with a swifter pad! I did it for our old forestry crew van floor and made it so easy to clean! Also hear is a recipe for you to try! Take bacon sausage, white onions , bellpepers and any other veggies you want and ither russet or red potatoes dice all up to about 1/4 inch cubes and place in your small foil pans I've seen you use with some eggs and with these spices! A small pinch of these sage,smoked paprika, dash of white pepper, blk pepper and if you can find it harissa. Mix all and place in your oven at 425 for 15 mints covered , then for the next 15 uncoverd and add what ever cheese blend you want and then you can have your self or for you and your dad a nice hot cooked breakfast during harvest or when ever! I do this but with out eggs cause I'm allergic to eggs!

[@slowplay258]

Give it a year or three and you'll be catching the higher end of the market more often than not. Thanks for growing my foods food : )

[@turklayher4794]

Great to see you are back. You look healthy and optimistic! So when is the big day?

[@ronkoeppen8805]

Erin is one of kind! Humble genuine dirt under the finger nails! Won’t count the cost! Passionate about farming family religion doing right thing! Woman you got a great heart!!

[@davidmahoy4478]

Good to see you again, being an old Hoosier, spending the winter in Florida, it was interesting to see the radar screen in central Indiana. Question, wouldn’t it have been easier to have used an impact wrench to change the spikes on your implement? Did you say you got married?

[@rockyhopper7718]

Glad to see the weekly Recaps back

[@xtctrader1467]

Hope we get to see some of the bowling action.

[@AllenBarclayAllen]

What a treet, got Erin and just talked to Kate of Kate Agg ! 1:30

[@RíCrusader]

Erin you just havta be extra careful and keep enough snacks.

[@sixshootertexan]

👍🤠🇺🇲 Always enjoy the videos.

[@timmywarren2349]

Very good Video 👍 👍

[@davidharris2519]

Hope the weather cooperates with the farm i heard from my son a chance of snow on the 21st

[@billstarr9396]

The non glamorous side of farming, but it's like any job, it isn't always sunshine and roses.

[@jimpowers2047]

We love you!!! ❤️ so glad you have come home!!!

[@lucsantapola]

thx

[@larryjones1774]

You don't have to wait much longer to start planting.The farmers around here in North Carolina will start in a few weeks.

[@andygehring1039]

I think you need to invest in some Milwaukee tools like a 3/8 impact dryer would’ve been awesome for that job

[@Incaensio]

Oh it's you 🥰

[@heavysetsoutherngentleman9047]

Please update us on the final bowling scores Thank you 🙂

[@dankreoger611]

Erin, I know you're recently wed, but, please be careful with your ring. It can catch on things before you realize it. Other than that, congrats and glad you're back.

[@les67b38]

❤❤

[@richdillon2157]

Hey Erin, How did Y'all make out with the Tractor that got hit and Wreaked? I see your Dad is doing fine from the Ordeal. Did Y'all get a New Tractor out of it, Fx it back up. Just an update if you don't mind. That is alot of spikes to replace, Now my question is to save money, Could you of just flipped them around to ware out the other side? That is a new type of implament to me, I am not very familiar with it.I know lots of questions, lol If I didn't tell on your last video, Congratulation on your Marriage. I am very happy for you. Enjoyed your video, Thank you for sharing.

[@sharpsvilleBill]
