Hay Making & Other Farm Jobs

In this video you can see us storing some 2nd cut hay. Due to the drought we got only 2 loads from this field, compared to 6 from first cutting.
There is also some morning milking of our cows, moving heifers along the pens, opening new pasture ground for heifers that are outside and other farm jobs.
Thanks for watching!

Farmer's POV (Point of View) is a channel where I share videos of different chores that are going on on our small family farm in Slovenia. We have 60 heads of cattle, mainly simmetal breed and we milk about 35 of them. We farm in a fairly hilly area so our equipment is relatively small. Currently we own 4 tractors: Fiat DT55-56, New Holland TN70DA, Deutz Fahr Agroplus 85 and John Deere 5085M. We work around 20 hectares of mainly grass fields and about 2,5 hectares for silage corn. We also have 7 hectares of forest.

Just loved it when you took a moment for reflection and sitting in the moment. Just a beautiful and peaceful moment. Thanks for the videos, which I always look forward to. ❤️‍🔥

We call that little dance you had with that calf the "Texas Two Step". The hat is mandatory. ✌

Do you play and record the music? If so I would like to see much more added to the video. Im a big fan of country music and your videos. Keep up the great work!

Try putting a bucket over the calves head ,use the tail to steer while backing them up, easy pease! Thanks for lovely videos

We got our hay made just before the rain.

Welcome back didn’t know for sure if you was going to or not . People like watching videos of other peoples farms and what they do on their farms different from their farms.Hands up your far is in top shape clean a lot of hard work. How many hours do you put in working on the farm a day?

[@farmerspov4709]

Yeah, I just didn't have much to film, pretty much the same stuff every day 😀 yeah I like watching them too 😁 depends on what we're doing, from 8 to 16 😉

you have no idea how addicting it is to watch farm run with passion, truly amazing. I was just wondering, are those mattresses or however you call it where cows lay down covered with woodchips or that's some other at 5:14?😄

Well that's great, thank you 😊 it's saw dust 😉

В помещении и на коровах нет мух. Вы их обрабатываете? Интересно было бы посмотреть.

В коровнике их очень мало, а на пастбище довольно много. При необходимости используем специальное покрытие от мух в коровнике

I really enjoy your daily work routine. I was just wondering if you ever get video of any of your local wildlife. Being from Montana, wildlife is a good part of our farming and ranching daily life.

[@farmerspov4709]

I don't have much on camera but we have as much wildlife as ever, lots of deer, and lately we have foxes and hawks following the mower for easy meal browsing 😁 luckily we don't have problems with wolves and bears in our part of the country 🙂 oh you're from Montana, that's nice 🙂 yeah I bet, which part of the country?

[@herbhouston5378]

Always enjoy your videos! Tell me, what was in the bottle you gave the Brown Swiss? I've never been around cattle, at any age that looked like yours. From calf, to heffer, to lactating cow, your cattle thrive. Impressive! Looked like a beautiful day to get the hay in. Do you get a lot of rain?

[@farmerspov4709]

I'm glad 🙂 it contains active components that stimulate the function of the rumen, stimulate the function of chewing, stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and normalize the intestinal microflora 😉 Yeah usually, but this year it's been pretty dry, we have pretty bad drought now, we got some rain from the storms but just enough to keep corn growing. Thank you for your nice comments 🙂

[@Aven0301]

I just discover you and you'v got an amazing farm !!! And you are an amazing Farmer!!! I would like to ask you how much field with cutting grass do you have ? And how much land for plowing do you have ? Have a nice Day!!!

Greetings 👋

[@aries8402]

I love your videos. But sometimes I cannot get through all of them. Bc I get dizzy from the hat/your head video camera. It needs a movement stabilizer. Or something so it's not so bouncy. It makes me sea sick. But all your other video angles and shots are absolutely superb! 💯 it's just that head video camera. It really makes me dizzy.

[@farmerspov4709]

Yeah I'm sorry 🙄 I don't think I could mount a stabilizer to my hat mount 🤔 are you watching on a big screen? I find it better if I watch it on my phone 🤔

[@PAfarmboy]

I just noticed you got a roof built over the new silo pit. 👍🏻 Do you make your 2nd & 3rd cuts of hay by a certain time of year or just wait until it is tall enough? I enjoyed the rodeo @ 12:00. 😁

[@farmerspov4709]

Yep, last October 😁 bit of both actually, if it grows well then we cut it after every 5-6 weeks. The 2nd cut was not the best due to the drought, but we mowed it in the hope that the third cut would be better and that we would not be too late in a season for the 4th cut 😉 you know what? I did too! 😋👍

[@samlangenberg407]

got some rains in? The grass looks juicy atleast. Here in Germany its quite bad, almost no rain and pretty hot :/

[@ricciogiancarlo]

May I Ask if you're going to get a front mower instead of the weights? Because I see you mowing with that "small" mower some very big fields, and I think you're going to waste a lot of fuel.... just curious

[@farmerspov4709]

Maybe one day, our biggest field is 2.5 hectares so it's not very big. For a front mower I would need front hydraulics and probably a more powerful tractor. You are right about the tractor utilization 👍🙂
