I never cease to be amazed at how often you see treasure when others see trash

[@charlesmoeller6391]

I remember in the late 1940's when there was still threshing done, the straw was put in the cattle lot and the cattle would sort of mill around that straw pile which was very big. So you suggestion of putting the rice straw in the cattle lot is really an excellent idea. I am 81 so I still can remember going to my uncles farm during threshing season and watching that process and the straw pile that was generated was very big. Couple of months ago I visited my cousin, who is 10 years older than I, and he currently owns that farm and we had a discussion of where the straw pile was. So again, I think you putting the rice straw in the cattle lot is a very good idea and brings you back to where it was done in the farming process years ago. Welcome back to the past, ha.

[@teresadasilva8773]

Your guitar medley is still very catching after all these years, love it

[@jackblack3886]

Once again, you've shown how common sense (straw bales & bicycles) can beat technology. Plus the Dodge is earning her keep! Well done. All the best!

[@bobwollard9105]

I can already see those cattle salivating over the new bales. At least until they take their first bite. It's good to see the old Dodge finally pulling her weight. She did great. And I noticed that she came equipped with that patented Dodge 260 air conditioning. Two windows down and sixty miles per hour. Another excellent video, Tyler. Have a great one.

[@jaclynalley809]

any video with farmer tyler and the Dodge are great!

[@cindyspear86]

Getting to use the Dodge must have been a proud moment!

[@youpattube1]

i learned more about rice bales in about 5 minutes from you than i had known my entire life. this is another in a long line of excellent videos.

[@kkeenan536]

I think you should make more bales for the working corral since it’s free! The wood chips helped, but by end of winter that place was a mess again! Great to see the Dodge in action & love the “wind wings”

[@soniabaileywood5265]

That's one impressive old farm truck!!! I love the light blue aged color too!!!

[@TizzyLynn]

Nothing like the squeaks of old trucks and new saddles. Love both.

[@inthejcurve7968]

“Turn the air conditioner ON”…FTR you’re a good man. I sure do like your jokes

[@libbylauderdale1382]

I agree. That was really good.

[@sandib4234]

[@JoTa8389-gu9vi]

Hey those little triangle windows move more air than you think.

[@157-40_T]

He forgot to turn on the HEPA filter.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

That rice straw made beautiful bales, and the dump feature of the Dodge made unloading quick and easy. I must say I enjoy your sense of humor; it adds to the interesting videos you publish.

[@USSBB62]

Thanks for showing the Wing Window on the Dodge. It brings back so many memories ! Wish they still made them. Simple never breaks.

[@jankotze1959]

That is a great plan, will make good manure for later on.

[@elliekennedy2952]

That straw should make good bedding if you need to cover up mud or just something to keep the cattle busy. It will be fun to watch the pigs enjoy a bale of that.

[@pattylcravatta]

Good Afternoon, Tyler and Callie! The Rice Straw Bales! 15 to 20 Bales! The Round Baler! The old Ford! She’s Running! 10 Bales of Rice Straw! Very Interesting Video! Thank-you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lesleywatkins1172]

I did chuckle when your Dodge was squeaking due to the weight of the bales!

[@hattiecolley54]

Tyler u r my favorite when it comes to Creativity. Using ur Time Wisely is so essential. Always thinking about ur Animals and the best for them. Doing Everything All by yourself is such a Plus. Thank u so much for sharing ur Joy and Knowledge. Keep it Pushing!

[@petebernhagen4640]

Old truck liking and performing well. NICE !!!😅

[@manleybrittain1296]

What a great Idea, I have seen Pete do this with his pigs and they love it!

[@anneoreilly4900]

The cows will be curious for sure - modern day enrichment. Thx for posting FTR n MRS.

[@gurubhat6680]

Rice straw used to be exclusive feed during our childhood. We had around 40-50 milk cows, 20-30 bulls for farm labour and an equal number of buffalos. We stored rice bales in our barn. This was around 50-55 years ago in India.

[@user-df3jd2oj7x]

Hi farmer Tyler, you do a great job at farming and taking care of the livestock stay safe and God bless from across the pond in Great Britain

[@Hoosier60]

Interesting…so rice hay is somewhat similar to straw. Very economical, and great usage of the rice hay for what it is needed for.👍👍

[@westsidesjvalley]

Looks as like a good plan I am thinking that the cows should work that straw into the wet clay much like the waterfowl work the rice straw into the fields for decomposition. Can’t beat something for free right next door. Most of our neighbors are now making roads in our Capay Adobe with orchard wood chips and walnut shells for getting the bee boxes out in the middle of February.

[@randymitchell8424]

If you let those bales cure out a little they should be ok. I've had to bale hay a bit tough ahead of rain a few times. Most of the time they were fine. A few might get a little musty. Should be fine for bedding.

[@josephgottschalk641]

I remember your manure spreader project. Maybe you could resurrect an old rake just for the rice straw with minimal investment. With your mechanical abilities, I am sure you could do that.

[@robertkelley1990]

Good idea on using the straw for bedding and building up the corral for the winter have a great weekend.

[@njon5926]

Thank you thank you so much for treating your viewers with respect and not using deceitful heading and thumbnail pictures with fake things (gun) added in to grab undeserved attention. You are truthful, helpful and honest with us and I really appreciate that. You are one hard worker and you do a really good job taping from many angles. Thank you again!

[@HelpMeRhonda62]

I love the new fangled air conditioner. 😂😂😂

[@jeanhecker4533]

Somehow I came to your channel in Northern CA by way two channels. One called The Veggie Boys and another called A Stable Life. The Vegetable Farm and Boarding Stable are two arms of a fifth generation farm in the northeastern corner of PA. The Veggie boys also raise dairy calves for beef and chickens for eggs that they sell in their farm store along with their vegetables. The stable is home to 25 retired privately owned horses including three gentle giants and two miniature donkeys. I enjoy watching the similarities in the work you do and the work they do and the differences. I hope you are all able to maintain your family way of life. 👍🏻😊

[@eldavis1311]

I like the drone footage You are a hard worker I’m glad the back held air until you got to your tractor

[@allanpeters4403]

That old Dodge dump bed sure came in handy!! Nice move on getting to bale up the rice straw - a win/win for you and the owner of the rice field - just need an old rake now.

[@chrisbernard6811]

You read my mind when you got your bike for the return trip. Great job making use of something just going to waste using the rice straw. Hope it helps the cows have a better winter.

[@user-vq4mn2fl2n]

Good morning. Your ideas are excellent and make sense. This is a very nice video. Well done! I enjoyed it. 🙂🌻☮️

[@cajunnathan4586]

Now you are in the right direction by utilizing the Rice Straw for bedding & what ever else you can use it for.

[@Heidishereandthere]

Those "Air Conditioners" on the sides, those are called WIND WINGS! 😂👍

[@big.g.fromohio3546]

Well you got a question answered as to if the dump bed would dump some weight. Those old dodge starters have such a distinct sound. 😅

[@sandib4234]

I just love that old truck my Grandpa had one something like it. 😎

[@megd7593]

All that workin’, walkin’, and ridin’… I bet you slept good that night! Can’t wait to see how this works out for you!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Dodge earning it keep already. Nice job 👍

[@carolyost6733]

You sure use your noggen! In my husband's single days him and his cousins would run around in his '70 2 door Chevy Chevelle with the windows all rolled up so the girls would think he had air conditioning in his car. Sweat like bullets, but impress the ladies. We love watching you. Great couple time, too!

[@maxinerose6664]

That’s quite the load for the old dodge! 😊

[@davidbaillie2087]

In the spring time the bales should give you some good mixture to spread on the pasture with the manure spreader also. Great idea.

[@barbaraberrier8840]

After seeing how easy it was to unload the truck, I'll bet your excited to use it next hay season. Great idea, helped the rice farmer too.

[@randycharest4507]

Enjoyed watching the video Tyler 😊

[@tonywise3705]

No one can ever say you came in on a load of pumpkins, great job

[@austinpatterson1352]

Farmer tyler ranch I enjoyed the video and I hope you have a great weekend

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

That idea will work out like you said but you are right about one thing that I would have bale at least twenty

[@cherrydowns7745]

Lets hear for the old truck, she ran like a champ! Bales, always gotta be that one who insists on being a rebel. I think the pigs and cows are going have fun rooting through all that straw and as it mixes with the mud maybe the mud will be less sticky.

[@fredbaumberger8988]

You might even think about a Tedder, that fluffs up the hay/straw for drying

[@lindakinsey1093]

What a good idea on using that straw for your corrals in the wet season. It got pretty muddy last year. Hoping we get as much rain this winter season but who knows. Thanks again. 😊

[@carlcarlamos9055]

Back in the early eighties there were two record rainy winters in a row. Good luck and take care.

[@danuta.]

In the old days we had to pump the gas pedal a few times before starting the car.😊

[@herdingcats3850]

Very innovative. Good for you.

[@StephenCleaver]

I did laugh when you were hauling the straw back to your ranch…everything was crossed hoping that you'd make it…convinced that you wouldn't. I think that you've already had your money’s worth out of the truck and anything else is pure profit. Great channel, thanks…👏👏👏

[@karenschuster9831]

Super great video FTR. Great use of the rice fields.

[@terresiagregg9326]

Its great to hear you work out how you are gonna do things

[@terresiagregg9326]

See you next time really enjoy watching

[@kerkleblanc7690]

I remember those old side vents was our Ac in the day. The faster you went , the cooler it got, lol

[@robreesor5011]

Thats a great idea to help with the mud...and I think your right your going to wish you'd baled more of them. You'll want more than one between the feeder and high ground for sure...but I think I would have run the box scraper through where you talked about adding gravel because you usually pull everything up onto that high ground...although maybe you want to widen or make it a bit longer so they have even more high ground for space.

[@rajoba7981]

I remember feeding straw to cows (dairy cows, heifers and bulls) twenty-something years ago. I live in Northern Norway, and I don’t think anyone up here grows anything that gives straw as a biproduct, so I’m guessing the farmer for some reason got a load of cheap (enough) straw from Southern Norway or Sweden. 🤔 For the straw to have any nutritional value, it was treated with lye. I remember rolling out a bale, and a steam of lye rose up and stung my eyes. 😂 I’ve worked on several farms for many years, and that’s the only time I’ve come across feeding straw. Some use a little bit for bedding. - I love the attitude of utilizing what’s available, cheap and/or just a waste problem for others! 👌🏻🤩 Win-win!

[@donnaml8776]

Have a great weekend.

[@robertsimmons3556]

If you had a rake it would nearly be a full meal deal!! Hope the rice straw shows promise this winter!! WOW the ole Dodge started and carried...then dumped the load!! Good post!

[@tinacatharinaeden2711]

Wow, what s great video, great shots of the baler at work. Rice straw, who would have thought? Keep us posted on how the cows decide to work with it. 😂

[@damonprater3915]

Same concept here in northern Indiana, they bale the corn fields after harvesting. I raise meat goats, so they will eat anything. Absolutely love your videos

[@marilyncapehart663]

Hi 👋🏽 Tyler another good day 10-24-2023❤

[@officialweldingfarmingarch2041]

great video, production quality is tops I really liked my NH 256 rake. those are cheap and parts are cheap aftermarket

[@ericc3327]

Every time you show the rice field I start thinking about hiking across fields like that in waders. Not too much longer to go till I start spending a lot of time in rice fields up north a bit from you in Willows.

[@petergielen5905]

Thx for sharing !

[@marciaolson4878]

Good morning FT, hard at work I see. Interesting info on the left over hay, it’s always good to see you have a plan no matter what! Have a great weekend and God’s blessings always!❤❤❤

[@JAACS74]

How wonderful. Nothing like putting to use free resources ❤

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

pretty neat straw and unloading enjoyed it

[@jdgibs3446]

Enjoyed your video. Appreciate the share. Have a great weekend. ☝️🙏🙌💪🤠🎯

[@wearewildwoodranch]

Straw is great for bedding for sure. You need a rake. That said, I don't own a moisture meter 😆. LOVE making straw when it works but round baling dry straw can be a real pain to get the bale started.

[@reaskelton4939]

Always thinking and improving - Good on ya FTR - also love your shorts - your music has become your trade mark as well

[@liljoeii6091]

I like the way you think. Thank you for the video.

[@ericwilkinson1771]

love the little truck good buy

[@danielashford2430]

Thanks Tyler,peace brother…

[@charlesmoeller6391]

I still think you need gutters on the barn overhang which would shed the water away from the lot area, just my thought.

[@ZacVaper]

With the amount of mud your going to have, I'd grab all the free bails I could (wet or not) and fill the whole yard. Hell yea.

[@mitchellgourley4642]

I can’t wait to see how it’s gonna work out. May God be with you

[@jaclynalley809]

I have a NH 56 and a NH 256 rollabar rake and a Befco V rake FTR can borrow anytime!😅

[@deehalpern8988]

Cool views of the bales.

[@danrose3233]

I think you are going to wish you would just place a bale out as needed--wet, manure straw is not much different than mud, but a fresh bale for bedding once in a while is effective. I'd borrow a rake and make more bales and just store them outside out of the way until needed in the corral.

[@davidd463]

Nice lookin bales. Probably had nice even flow across the header as opposed to swerving narrow windrows.

[@lindaSee89]

Your idea was exactly was my idea. Use it everywhere

[@blueheronhill]

I would think that it would be good as a bedding crop. I use straw bales for my pigs and chicken coop bedding. It’s great in the muddy/snowy weather.

[@PAHighHopesFarm]

Tyler, I think you're going to have to roll them out and spread them around to get the effect you are looking for.

[@nik0la263]

Good idea

[@rogerjessie4137]

Great video Tyler!

[@austinpatterson1352]

Thanks for sharing farmer tyler ranch I enjoyed the video

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@rdyardie]

I was thinking that you could make a hitch that would attach to your truck. That way you could use the tractor to pull the truck so you get back and forth without repairing that back tire on the bike. . . . or you could just repair that back tube. 😊 It will be interesting to see what the cows do with the bales.

[@jlhaslip]

Always innovating. That's a good thing. 👍

[@marifethompson2893]

Hello, we found your video through Country view acres.

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Using someone else's waste to fulfill a need is smart. I hope it works out for you.

[@davidbennett8832]

The straw will break in / with the manure and make great fertilizer to spread on your fields.

[@freddking4389]

Tyler, great video. I think I could watch ur videos for a long time. You probably realize thst you had room for 2 more bales on the ole dodge haha. Things worked out well.

[@cajunnathan4586]

You have to be CREATIVE to be a Farmer/Rancher

[@markparker2873]

great video, have you thought of putting an A frame on the front of your truck so you can tow it behind your tractor? save walking, just a thought!
