Hey thanks for watching the video!

[@TheStuport]

Big Shout Out to Brent for suggesting his idea on baling! Really enjoy the explaining too Jan! Yes, probably seems tedious from your end but a knucklehead like me learns a ton while STILL having some fun hanging out with you and your Family! YIKERS on climbing that Grain Leg! I'm not a fan of high places. LOVE Roller Coasters though and can ride those idiot cars all day just because I'm an idiot too🤣! Great to meet your cool cat Buster! He's seen it all and he truly is a survivor! Fun catching up with your sister and your Dad as well Jan! Always a treat to come to your Farm for a visit. I appreciate my seat in here! Cheers and From Ohio and Keep Strutting!

I know you have probably heard it a thousand times before, but I'll say it again. A good fall harness is $150 and it can save you a great deal of pain or save your life. It doesn't slow things down anywhere near as much as an extended hospital stay and months of recovery. Great video!

[@donaldgibson3121]

Climbing that ladder in winter ice will be an experience you will remember. We use a safety harness and clip up both going up and down. You only get to slip once from that height without a safety harness.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Now there is a memory you will have forever. The first time Dad and I climbed to the top of the new grain leg. If it ices up this winter with freezing rain or horror frost be very careful underneath it when the sun comes out. Good place to put on a hard hat.

[@SpaceCadet2569]

I got scared when you said horror frost. I thought you had some new really bad thing going on. I wonder if you mean hoar frost and just have a family word for it due to the fact that it is a horror to deal with?

[@asquithmainlines699]

@@SpaceCadet2569 LOL yes my bad. Back in the days before fiber optics all communications between communities was done by Microwave radio. The frost would cover the dishes at the tops of the towers and cause the signal to fade resulting in outages. There was nothing you could do but wait for it to melt. We had a chunk of ice come off a tower at Green Lake and go right through the roof of the building sitting beside it. So yes it was a real horror to deal with.

[@CurrentChoices]

@@asquithmainlines699 Soo parking vehicle near grain Slide weatherwise a No - No!

[@asquithmainlines699]

@@CurrentChoices Yes and the fibreglass cabs on the tractors won’t fair too well either. After that incident all the buildings located at tower sites got metal roofs.

[@Larry-325]

Awesome Jan. New grain Eg is up there! You just kept climbing 😃. 👍👍

[@mannsjm]

It would have been really cool to do some drone video of your Dad's first trip to the top of the leg and him surveying the farm he has built.

[@sunroofracing]

Great video Jan! Successful and productive day, with some special sightseeing. Loads of respect for you both making the climb. Thanks for sharing the view.

[@benkemp]

Buster looks great for 15 years old, Jan! It's always delightful to get a glimpse of how you and your family operate your dairy. The top of that grain leg seems like a super place to put an antenna of some kind.

[@icebabysnocain]

You are very brave as is your dad. I don't do height or needles, ever. I like how the calves react to fresh bedding. A fifteen year old cat is a treasure. Bush owls coming into the barn for the winter is usually the end for the barn owls and the cats. You must have no bush owls. Good video.. Pax.

[@kellwood1404]

What are bush owls?

[@RiDankulous]

It's a pleasure to watch you do all the tasks of a dairy farm. Thank you!

[@markhale6062]

Fantastic views, you wouldn't be able to stop me going up there. Love the sound of the train in the background. Well done for facing the fear.

[@yeagerxp]

Well done . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦

[@Dannsandiego]

Way to conquer your fears, Jan! That is pretty darn high!!

[@DonVDBorgh]

When at the feed lot in Alberta, think our leg was 175 to the top. Our ladder extended out so you didn't have to sit down to get back down. They always seem to break on cold, windy (they sway), wet or snowy winter days. I hated climbing it. Was a young fellow there also who would just bound up the thing. Nice view though, see for miles. 👍👍

[@larryvilledude9415]

BRAVE MEN!! My knees got wabbly just watching the video of you climbing. I had to look away from the screen a couple of times.

[@nancysmith8095]

Every time you pointed the camera down from up there it affected me ,guess heights affect me too. So much work ,so much construction,so much money, so we can enjoy a cold glass of milk; Thank you

[@sharrodthibault8448]

Great video!! Love the action shots of the baler at work and the go pro climb!! Way to go guys!!

[@kennethw.edwards1816]

Get some climbing gear so after you climb up the grain leg, you could rappel down.

[@julielumsden5184]

I’m the opposite I had no fear as a kid, now I’m terrified of heights. Bravo to you and your Dad. Another great video.

[@jamesmoon1841]

First really tall equipment I ever climbed was a 200 ft tall urea pilling tower. The height did not bother me but the shaking of the whole structure was very spooky. Only climbed it once before I changed jobs. Great view from top of grain leg.

[@jamesbrown8718]

Beautiful view of the farm from up there, I really enjoy the drone footage you all do from time to time as well. Great video

[@runsolo7418]

Imagine a weather proof camera mounted up there on a swivel. That would be cool.

[@gregpeters9916]

Bit of puffing and panting going on thru that climb Jan 😁 New form of daily exercise maybe 😁

[@jarredholt5037]

Before winter paint the steps all the way up with sand in the paint…you’ll have good traction come winter time…👍

[@thomasmccardle725]

I don’t think I’d climb that high, I got dizzy watching your dad and you up there but the view was great! Stay safe and keep Well!

[@Michael-fd8ob]

The straw is looking good. Nice to see the climb. Like the calf transport. Never get me up on that climb

[@rebeccaloignon75]

Watching you go up there made my knees week,and I’m sitting down!

[@krisvangucht7056]

love how your dad just mixes dutch and english😁

[@jameshanenburg9591]

My parents kept us confused by mixing Dutch, Friesian and English!

[@rjmun580]

Is that Dunglish or Englutch?

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Loved seeing Buster, he looks good for being 15 yrs old. It's so cool seeing the calves on fresh straw, love watching them playing around. You could never get me to go up that grain leg, way too far off the ground for me

[@joaosabatin6813]

Eu sou do Brasil. Não perco um vídeo. Parabéns pelos vídeos e animais

[@farmsimnewbie575]

I think a panoramic video of the farm on top of the bins would be an amazing intro to your videos. Also, love the fact that you went all the way to the top, I would have stopped in the middle....lol

[@marijnvanharten1061]

Great to hear some dutch words in Saskatchewan 🤙

[@louisschueler7608]

Couple of lawn chairs and beers watching the sunset from the perch.

[@kellwood1404]

Thanks for the looks at your tractor and the baler. Glad you could pick up more. How high is that grain leg? How many bales of straw do you need/year? Cute calves. It’s great to see calves + cat. Ty again.

[@MellowYe77ow]

The grain leg is 80 ft.

[@riakeijzer4334]

[@jonijarvis6391]

Okay, have to admit my stomach did a couple turns on top of the grain leg! Nice to see your Dad in more videos.

[@computernerdtechman]

When you looked over the edge up on the Grain Leg, I almost fell off. Luckily I held onto my keyboard for dear life and didn't fall. SCARY!!😱

[@dennislamers986]

I like heights. My dad always said it's not the height of the fall that kills ya, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.

[@ziauddin7948]

there should be a large metal tray below the bailer to accumulate the straw instead if falling # nice high rise metal tower # U R sister says her heart rate increases while looking at top of the tower # She should take 25 mg beta blocker before looking at the top of tower #❤️❤️👍

[@calvincrapper9334]

Nice view it's a baby leg. Use to build them . Problem is I'm scared of heights but I still got up there. Nice design too

[@billjoat]

The top of that tower would be a great place to put a zip line wayyy over to the cow barn!!

[@nathanyoung7273]

With your rpms lower the bale won’t have as much in it. The higher the rpms the more dense the bale will be

[@bramvanhoeckel4937]

Nice to hear your dad speak dutch and english mixed together. #dutch roots

[@davidcantu824]

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS SASKDUTCHKID

[@larryryan6173]

Great view from the top I was tired watching you climb up to the top lol

[@billcampbell2943]

That climb was a great full body workout

[@antoinevandamme6506]

We had those legs(elevators) when I still was working. They were about 30 meters high. We had two differend ones. One when you looked on the leg, just like yours. The other one looked straight over the land when you went up. The last one was really sketchy. they had 88 steps. And when you stopped halfway to rest, you did not get up easely. Up in one go was the best.

[@billymc1628]

I suggest yall invest into some safety harnesses. Very easy to put on and can save lives. We used them in the Navy

[@haraldoudevoshaar7894]

you can see all the safety railings in place and they are staying within them not working outside them

[@billymc1628]

One wrong slip and railings will just keep body weight to drop straight down. Ya can't go wrong with a safety harness

[@48wilber]

Little hiking trick I use,,, would work well for grain leg climb---- always take binoculars,,, so it looks like your enjoying the scenery, part way up,,, instead of catching your breath.....

[@woutbreukers3776]

Love how your dad talks dutch for a sec great video

[@michaelcanales3683]

Good mix of daily tasks in the video. Keep them coming.

[@danaedwards5464]

you can have climbing that high when i was 16 i fell off a 60 foot silo lived to tell a few fractured ribs landed in a loaded haylage wagon thank God at 61 a step ladder is high enough for me

[@WBOS72]

Awesome video Jan. That is a gorgeous view of your family farm.

[@oshkoshdom2197]

The thing about heights isn't the fall, its the sudden stop on the ground.

[@michaelg.5862]

Just watching you climb that ladder makes me uneasy. Great video!

[@tomwinslow162]

I worked construction and did a good deal of hugh work. when you look up a 100 feet it does not look to bad. When you look down from 100 feet it looks completely deadly. I have been 320 feet up standing on a 14 inch wide beam with not safety line or hand rail. I was crazy when younger.

[@teenagefarmer]

Great video. Glad that you got the baler figured out.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Grain leg set up is nice

Way to climb the grain leg Jan you will get used to it if you have to go up there much great place for an overview with a camera anyways aye lol

[@robertfranssen]

Love it how your dad talks dutch and english through eachother. Thats from a dutchie😉

[@mshafer2006]

I used to be afraid of heights when I was younger as well. Then when I started doing frame to finish construction and went from 30 ft in the air to 120 ft plus in the air walking on 2x6 walls. I learned to essentially have tunnel vision so I wouldn’t look beyond where my feet needed to go at each step I got over the fear.

[@timkoelling1825]

Love seeing your dad and family in your videos..

[@paulwalsh548]

Holy Molly my head just starting spinng just watching it lol

[@kathyk479]

Beauty on the view! When your going up or down on a ladder you should hold the side rails that way your hands never let go of the ladder! When you hold the rungs you have to let go of the ladder. My cousin taught me that, he's a fireman! Now a lieutenant! Everytime I see you go up and down the ladder hanging onto the rungs I cringe ! Because any cow poop on your shoes will make the rungs slippery and your hands could slip. Please Be careful !

[@dave8218]

I used to work on machinery and have to climb those vertical ladders. It was a thrill first few times after that nothing but a job, especially carrying 10 or 15 pounds of tools. Now both knees are shot.

[@dave8218]

@Ithecastic carrying too much weight tools and parts.I never was over weight. Climbing a straight up ladder will put extra force on joints. All your weight is on one leg at a time. We were working on silos between 75 and 125 feet. Climb those every day at least twice a day and it takes a toll. Not to mention freezing Temps and ice.

[@CurrentChoices]

@@dave8218 GOD BLESS you all!

[@heatherwhite5750]

My hearts in my mouth then you looked down from the platform! Not a chance in hell that I could cure my vertigo by going up there. Well done 👏

[@celiehargraves2824]

You should drop things from the top and see if they will break!

[@Thomas-lq1jw]

Awesome vie. I’m also afraid of heights, although it depends. As long as I have a secure stand, I’m ok

[@Martin-bb1qm]

Awesome video. I hope you enjoyed the view. It’s not the falling that is scary, it’s the impact. Eh?

[@arbigdog73]

Jan, you should put up a Star or Christmas lights on the grain leg.

[@johnpage5044]

great video you need to extend the ladder 4 feet at the top so that climbing off and on is safer great videos again thank you

Man I can’t wait to see you guys feed out of the whole thing I’m excited for you guys

[@VW5767]

Great view of the farm from up there.

[@poochie3275]

Ladder rule of thumb----you have 2 arms & 2 legs. There should be 3 of them in contact with the ladder at all times! Also, when going down put a number in you head, say 20. While you count your 20 steps down you're concentrating on counting & you are down before you know it.

[@joenicoud5967]

That is one climb I couldn’t do 🎉

[@roybohannon735]

I would be up there every morniny with a thermas of coffee.

[@karloarsch1579]

Very brave for Dutch. I had a friend from Holland visiting and we drove up a mountain in Austria by car. The mountain isn't very high and the road isn't dangerous or steep, but the mere thought that we're going uphill now made him dizzy. We had to turn back before we got to the top.
