Farm Tour! Explore the farm with Trudy on a Virtual Field Trip

Join us for a tour of our farm! See different areas and aspects of farming with draft horses and explore our farm with us! My daughter, Trudy, who is a third grade teacher, takes us for a tour as a virtual field trip for kids who are unable to come.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

[@randolphbutler1832]

Good explanation. A true teacher. Her students are lucky to have her.😷👍

Hi Gordon family, just recently discovered your channel. You folks are living our dream, thanks for the tour. I really enjoyed the "first annual and hopefully the last covid horse pull". You guys obviously have a great sense of humor. Thanks for brightening our day.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Welcome aboard! And thanks for watching!

[@kevinbwillson4161]

A Lovely Home big farm is it over 100 Akers . Thank for sharing

[@trinitydairy]

Awesome video Jim! Something a little different, I really enjoyed it. Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous! 👀

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Lorenzo Woodson it is an awesome video but I didn’t make it, Trudy did, she has way more skills then me.

[@lorenzowoodson624]

She did great! Seems like the whole family is talented! God bless you all!

[@stvooplayhouse]

Gorgeous

[@randolphbutler1832]

I think I am ready for the classroom test about the farm and the animals.🐴

[@laurelremington2056]

This is the first video of Trudy that I have ever listened to with her leading the video. It’s amazing on how much she sounds like her sister Abby. They have the same voice, both have same use of gestures and use of hands. They look like twins but Trudy is taller and her facial futures are more pronounced than Abby’s.

[@johnleahu9503]

What a good looking farm!! Very well organized.....

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks!

[@Kalkaekie]

Enjoyed the farm tour !! Very good !!

[@garyarmstrong4597]

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, you as well

[@jmccracken491]

Abby, you did a great job with the tour and the camera person is really proud of you.

[@grantburnett]

Great video.

[@sueellenbennett7160]

The perfect life! Hard work filled with personal growth. A life to be proud of. Thank you for sharing your family and home with us. Wonderful class trip! Enjoyed all of the knowledge and memories, I too went to ice skate on the pond at a dairy farm. Beautiful memories!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Our pleasure!

[@dalebraun5497]

I'm sure your daughters students enjoyed seeing those BIG horses. Thanks for sharing.

[@railroadman57]

Excellent video I really enjoyed it .👍😊

[@davidmunro1469]

Those horses are in beautyful condition. I worked on a thoroughbred race horse farm for six years so the fork AND I have seen the back end of the race horse industry. HA HA HA.

[@kevinmaritz4519]

Hi Jim . I have been wondering who looks after your horses feet. Much enjoy your vids. Thanks for sharing

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

I have an Amish ferrier. Glad you are enjoying the vids

[@rodneywroten2994]

Jim and Brenda I ran across this thumb nail of two years ago. Your daughter Trudy was showing things that family do on the farm. I have to say a little deference between then and now. But the most awesome thing was to see Buck and ken looking so beautiful. I love being a subscriber to you and looking forward to more. thanks for sharing your life R.I.P Buck

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks Rodney! Yes, he was a Great horse

[@jorgegas125]

super, hermoso!!

[@ericlakota6512]

Jims vidios get better and better more people should be watching this

[@firecaptaintom6670]

Your daughter's voice is a perfect blend of her mom and dad's.

[@sionnach541]

Brilliant, she should write a book on her adventures on the farm with her family I'm sure her students whould have a great time reading .

[@johnking8679]

What a GREAT guided tour of your Dad and Mom's farm. Nicely and easily explained by none other than the farmer's daughter !! Thanks Jim for allowing this tour to happen !! Lord Bless you ALL.

[@janet5820]

Good idea, write a book.

[@the_eternal_student]

Watching Trudy walk through the tall grass, I wondered if poisonous snakes are a problem.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

No, thankfully we don’t have any here

[@paulthomas2236]

You all have a great looking farm thanks for what you do keep the show’s coming thanks

[@Blessedfamilymama]

How many acres is your property? Looks fabulous!

[@firecaptaintom6670]

Great virtual field trip. Well done.

[@canvids1]

Just wonderful thanks for everything. As a young lad growing up in the 40's the tractors were starting to take over but there were still a few horses. that is about what I remember.

[@proberts683]

Great video for the class to watch. Bet she will be asked lots of questions!

[@larrywhitaker4667]

A very good information video. There are people that do not know these things so great job.

[@donniechapman5922]

Your daughter is a trip giving the tour , lol

[@ricardofranco9946]

With a teacher like her, no problem to repeat & repeat school. Thanks for share

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

[@williamj.barnhartjr.3108]

That was very nice I wish more teacher were like your daughter I was raised on a farm and I still enjoyed it 😊👍

[@theodorecarlton5245]

Keep the good stuff coming thanks

[@johncaffrey5395]

What a wonderful tour. Georgeous horses. Very nice to see them up close and no track on them.

[@toddsherfey6236]

Ain't nothing no prettier than a beautiful young lady with work horse's. You done a good job. Reminds me when I was young we had miles. My favorite is Belgium's.. God speed.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you! 😊, God speed to you also

[@chucker440]

Great video great 👍

[@bjbrown]

You have everything needed to make a fantastic story, beautiful daughters, fabulous horses, a wonderful mom and Jim to tell the story. The farm life is going by the way side and we all need you to keep the story strong. ConAgra et al isn’t the only thing! Thank you for keeping farming real and many hugs to you all for your hard work!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you so much!

[@kennydean4512]

Have you ever had the urge to walk through the hayfield barefooted? You are so lucky to be raised on a farm, makes me envious. Lol

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Jim and Brenda don't maybe Trudy does :)

[@lonebuffalo74]

My dad would read books to this kids via Facebook. The last book was the 1st book he read to kids as a librarian. He retired this year after 46 years at the same school which included being my principal for 6 years. It was neat seeing commits from all the students he had influenced in his 49 years teaching. my hats off to your daughter and all the teachers that have found ways to influence students this year!

[@fundsfordad]

Beautiful horses ! my cousin has a percheron stud horse in KY, and sells product for breeding , nice farm tour !

[@brownmilligan1936]

another great show. your family is great. thanks.

[@midgebarger1363]

Your daughter is just lovely and I have 2 sons that are teachers and a daughter who is an assoc.professor at a prestigious university in Boston so I am quite partial to teachers and the wonderful profession that they do in working with children.Also love your cows.I have had 2 open heart surgeries and have 2 bovine valves both the Mitral and the Aortic valves are made from the intestinal tract of the cow and a cow valve lasts 5-10 years longer than a pig valve.So to me;all cows are my distant cousins.Thank You for sharing your farm with us today.I really enjoyed the tour.Love your videos and look forward to each new happening on the farm.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you, and yes, we are glad Trudy has chosen to be a teacher- it’s a tough job! Glad your valves are working well!Cows have a lot to offer! Brenda

[@tubeu28]

We just don't see Trudy enough, good job guys!

[@vasilicabadea4531]

Imi place foarte mult la voi Adevarata viata Daca ai fi aproape as venii in vizita avem multe de invatat de la asa om

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Ar fi frumos să vorbim cu tine

[@dannyboy7086]

great video. one question, how tall the hay get before you usually cut it?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

it varies, we have to start early because we have a lot to do. Thanks for watching

[@kimfleury]

My brothers always got to go on interesting field trips, like Storybook Gardens in London, Ontario, or Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. I always got to go to my family's farms, where I spent every summer anyway 😂 It's just how it worked out with the school's classes, as they rotated every year. And here I am going on another farm field trip 🤣

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for sharing!

[@thewestnewyorker7269]

I haven't been in 3rd grade for a long time, really enjoyed the field trip though. We as a society are so far from our agricultural roots that it is great to see such teaching going on.

[@bonasperry8747]

Jim you are e very lucky man to do and have all you have , you have all the riches of the world,wonderful daughters and wife that works right along side of you,may the lord aways be with you and your beautyful family, greetings from a transplanted Brazilian in massachusetts

[@davidjones6775]

Hi, I just started watching your videos and enjoy them. Couldn't hear you on this 1. Lovely horses & working farm. Thanks for sharing!

[@maryleonard6381]

Enjoyed the farm tour and the reminiscing of Trudy? Thanks for sharing. I know kids would love your farm!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Our grandkids seem to really enjoy the farm when they come to visit

[@johncaffrey5395]

Georgeous horses and a wonderful tour guide. 🙂

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Many thanks!

[@edwardbonner9365]

Herefordshire cattle.

[@plumbum48]

If your daughter isn’t a teacher she should be. Her enthusiasm and patience show thru in each thing she addresses. You must be very proud of her!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

We are very proud of her, she’s a 3rd grade teacher and she puts a lot of effort into her work

[@andrewj9831]

I still remember my 4th grade teacher parents farm that we went to for the day some 40 years later. We were shown where food comes from, and the process it takes. They would always have the students "plant" in the Spring and in the Fall we had fresh veg from their farm. I'm glad that Trudy shares her upbringing to her students.

[@terrymcdougal9258]

How absolutely wonderful! I don't think you should be too worried about us knowing that you played in the sawdust pile in your bare feet either.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

😀

[@bonasperry8747]

They have e beautyful life

[@cbauman9841]

Nice to see the bells on the team. My dad did the same. He would use the team to collect sap in the spring. He also worked at a saw mill and used the horses to pull the logs to the mill. Many years ago.

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

Good looking filly! The horses aren't bad looking either.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

😀

[@nickmichell]

Jim, do you do everything on your farm with horses, or do you have a tractor hidden away ?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

I do have a tractor that I use some, mostly baling hay

[@christinecmund991]

[@raydoucette2407]

Super cute video! Thanks for sharing! All the best to you from southern Alberta, Canada.

[@johnflynn3824]

Thank you for answering so quickly about the horse that buck was and I already had went to another video where you were doing something pertaining to the leg mites and you told me what type they were and I heard you clearly so thank you for getting back to me so quickly because you're wonderful

[@scottandrews2090]

Hello Jim , I am a horseman from Jefferson County NY, I was wondering where in NY you are located?

[@sylviaverrill6681]

Jim, you have a lot buildings to keep up. I see your Woodmizer. I worked 32 years at Sanborn Machine, Waterford Maine, building Sawmill Machinery. In 1984 we started building a Portable Sawmill. My boss named them Min-Max. Ever seen one? Regards, Jon Verrill

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

No I haven’t seen that sawmill. As far as the buildings, yes we do have a lot to maintain and I have some serious work ahead of me to maintain them

[@duanebolen8359]

Your so far away I’m in eastern iowa sure would have liked to visit but thanks duane

[@chrism1164]

At the end when Trudy was mentioning her memories in the forest, she listed "making forts with my brother nd sister". I've never heard of their brother. ??

[@aas1018]

How many acres is your farm?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

The farm itself is about 200 acres, we have some wood lots also

[@sueupham2519]

What a pure sweetheart...be proud poppa

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, she is a sweetheart!

[@frednawrot4197]

Wow Trudy you are my favorite star now...I love the horses but you did fantastic. Hope you do more in future.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks!

[@hannekenabbe1689]

Wonderfull video !! I enjoy it. Pls go on with your stories 🍀❤

[@randybutler4772]

Good introduction to a diverse farm. Thank you for sharing.

[@jimcraig5208]

Great interview Trudy you done a great job.

[@kennydean4512]

That cabin looks soooo cozy

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

It is pretty cozy

[@bobanmilosevic3897]

👍😊

[@thierrytalon8600]

Refreshingly down to earth.

[@williamlewis8741]

Merci beaucoup pour la visite chez vous. quelle belle ferme vous avez là ! Bien que vous êtes un professeur maintenant, je vois dans tes yeux que la ferme, votre maison de votre jeunesse est jamais loin de vous .

[@wagnerkevin1959]

Beautiful program!!! Thank you!

[@dianehall5345]

Glad I found your farm tour with Trudy. I would tramp into the🌲🌲🌲 woods with a halter, shaking a grain can :-) Although I mostly kept leather halters on my horses. They would break if a horse caught a leg in them. It was easier for me to catch them, except Houdini could get out of ANY halter! I rarely found them. Expensive to lose. Such a wonderful way to be raised! My father-in-law built his 80' long, three story dairy barn in 1952. We use it to house Polled Hereford in the winter and lots of hay. Average 7,000 square bales a season. We just got a couple hundred bales in before the rain yesterday. Been haying all week with extra help. A Godsend. Back in 1935, 40% of American farms were working family farms. Today that figure is LESS THAN 1%. We are proud and grateful to be part of the 1%, along with farmers like Jim, Brenda and family. I wish more folks would be interested in establishing family farms. I was teaching occasional workshops before 2020 and hope to do that again. Some of our neighbors are interested in organic gardens, raising chickens and small farmsteading. Thanks for this great tour! ~ Diane

[@OhhDaang4]

SO. i have to know!! - how much of what we just saw was all made by JIM?? knowing how handy he is with everything i cant help but think he MUST have logged/milled/measured/installed every piece of wood in the cabin and so much more of what we see each time you allow us to come along!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

He did log and mill the wood but had help from a neighbor to build a lot of it.

[@richardransom7391]

I remember when I was a kid and grew up around my granddad's Morgan stud "Charlie" and for what ever reason old Charlie and me had a bond that even grandad could never explain that 2000lbs horse was as genital a lamb with me he dip hi head I jump on he raise his head so I could ride on him my legs could never reach his side's I could climb all over him and never minded but totally enjoy it. Side note Charlie was not the most friendly at all, only grandad and I could lead or mess with him, brush, trim, harness, or touch his hooves. Good Old Charlie 😊

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for sharing your memories
