This is the way a family farm should be run. Dad and sons work so well together and that's a tribute to dad.

[@briangleason5597]

These are the kid's we need more of. A boy becoming a man. I miss my family farm. We never watched news. To dam busy working or Spending time together. Rare today.😢

[@paultheisen5290]

Nice suit coat Mason, now all 3 of you will have to wear a suit coat and sun glasses in a video

[@princepa123]

Mason looks dapper and shows he knows a bargain, “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure,” plus a great back story for the Gierok channel. He should sew on a Carhartt logo on the breast pocket to really be in uniform.

[@gloriajones231]

A COOL apparel????

[@peewee.3138]

Stylin’ Mason! Sharp dressed man!

[@bobhanson345]

Mason is setting a new trend for farm fashion! Business casual feed grinding!

[@8tomtoms8]

Love it!!!!

[@colorado1088]

Will look spiffy in a few weeks with long johns.

[@gregmercer5171]

The Sunday coat was too funny, got a good laugh. Thank you guys for the video!

[@big.g.fromohio3546]

Mason reminded me of my great uncle, he used to wear a vest and a suit coat on the farm.

[@samkoeller9417]

Keep up with the awesome videos my dad, brother and myself enjoy watching you guys because you guys are proving that to be a dairy farm you don't need a lot of cows and new fancy tractors

[@krissyb1980]

Haha we will have to start calling Mason Mr. Douglas like green acres wearing that suit coat. Joking but that was pretty good. Great video guys, keep em going.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You for sharing your family videos with us The new work jacket really adds class to the farming work attire 😂🤗🤪

[@troyplocinski8401]

We salute your brother!!! All about the bottom line saving money!! Mason for president!!!

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

I can smell that sweet mix now. I was waiting for Mason to do the rat (probably fat mouse) dance in those fancy farm clothes. Thank you for sharing another great video. Stay safe and God bless.

[@larrylund2682]

In 1969 our farm changed from cobs to seed corn. The look of pure joy and comfort of my dad driving the JD 45 with a cab was wonderful. No heater either. Big change from driving the Oliver Super 88 with a heat houser [nearly useless canvas heater engine wrap thing] To a self propelled combine/corn picker. Yep, progress. His last tractor was that Turbo 1066. It was good to see his last years farming in comfort. People don't realize how rough the weather during corn harvest can be in Mid western Minnesota at Thanksgiving time. Snow, freezing temperatures and Long johns. Farmers are a tough bunch of men and women.

[@kimcwhite6509]

Mason looks so handsome in his jacket! That corn grinder is awesome! Thx for sharing.

[@kevinschroeder3889]

Your dad is the typical German Farmer. Perpetual motion, he just never stops.

[@Pileits]

I always enjoy seeing your St Bernard helping you guys doing chores, lets see more of your dogs please.

[@danb7132]

like the suit and shades Nason way to go,

[@tomvandenbergh4127]

You and pops are gonna have to up your wardrobe a little bit. Curly top, er Mason, was looking pretty sharp. You guys make great videos. Keep em comin. Heck yeah! 🇺🇲👍❤️

[@arlodewald5378]

It's Really good to see farmers who use their heads , put down tarps or plywood when they already know that there's going to be grains dropping on the ground for easier ups . Every little bit counts over the years and a lifetime .

[@farmerbill6855]

Everyone needs a feed grindin' suit. Just ask Oliver Wendell Douglas, he'll tell you. Grandpa would have bitched up a storm leaving that nice elevator full like that. He always said it was too hard on the chains starting it back up and he despised fixing the chains. Thanks again for a great video. Best regards from Indiana.

[@ivicavugrinovic1163]

it looked like a beautiful day.

[@dainwilliams4265]

It's so awesome to see father a sons working together. I'm so looking forward to the rest of the harvest video

[@jamesbreault5762]

Great stuff guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@loisgustafson1558]

Grinding ear corn as a kid consisted of filling "gunny sacks" after milking Saturday mornings, tossing them into the trunk of a 1953 Chevrolet, and dropping them off at the local elevator to be ground..... all before 9 a.m., because that's when confirmation class started at the lutheran church..... I don't believe I was ever on time for class! There were some things that were NOT so good about the "good old days". Thank you for sharing. Ron

[@tarheelpatch3386]

You go Mason ,your the sharp dressed farmer! NICE

[@bhain40]

I remember dad shoveling corn from the crib into the truck, then from the truck into the hammer mill by the barn. When I was bigger we had a grinder mixer. Shoveled a lot of corn. Kept our muscles up! Good job you all. Fun to see the dog watching for mice and mega-rats.

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

When I was young, poor country boys from the one room school house would come to the school in town in 9th grade. Their jackets were old suit coats and they had bowl haircuts. If Mason had a bowl haircut , he would fit right in. All those boys I knew grew up to be hardworking productive citizens.

[@aaronferstl9703]

My daughter has the same shirt as Mason! She won the state championship!

[@jerrytibbs1856]

Good to see the three of you working together and adding a little humor. A little humor makes for a lot better working environment. Mason the rats always look bigger when they surprise you. I remember when I was young we had a crib that was down in the bottom not too far from the creek and I swear the rats where the size of beavers and the black snakes looked like anacondas.😄😄As usual another excellent video.

[@stanhensley3082]

On our hog and beef farm we would grind 8 ton of feed a week. We did have a granary with 6 overhead bins.We filled it with 40ft leg.We would have to grind almost every day of the week. On nice warm fall days it was easy. But when it was 30 blow it was not so much fun!! We had 600 to 800 hogs to feed every day.Plus 50 to 60 fat cattle too.I can remember the almost sweet smell of new corn 🌽 being ground up.I also remember how fast my fingers would freeze on those 30 below days!! Still miss it,nice to watch your farm still mixing thier own feed. Thanks 😎.

[@tonycoupland6281]

Ground ear corn makes excellent cattle feed!!

[@Thompson-v6g]

great family great video❤❤❤

[@tomspielmann9220]

One of the three best tractors on the farm! Go Red!

[@reginabraok939]

Yet again, another nice video. Thanks for bringing us viewers along on your family farming journey. Nice to see Mason working with you guys in another video; fancy coat he has on! The music is also a nice touch, and it sounds relaxing.

[@toddvandyke1023]

Pretty sharp Mason! Hopefully your Dad hires you for the job. Lol. Thank you for another great video!

[@davidcoblentz7468]

That was a whole lot of shoveling grew up doing that is was the only way to grow up good hard work with the whole family involved.

[@johnwoody4905]

i have a 100 gehl grinder/ mixer just like that they were the best. Mason must had a wild time at party cleaning out corn crib with suit and sun glasses and seeing a rat as big as the dog. take care, be safe and well.

[@canvids1]

A great video of your hard work on the farm. I would love to be there just to help out and smell all that farm fresh air.

[@teenagefarmer]

Great work guys

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

You guys made my day. Always enjoy it when you grind the feed. Also glad Mason finally got justice. He is setting a new dress code. Wish my dad were still here, he would have absolutely loved this. Always love to hear about bargains too. Seriously, enjoyed seeing you all working together and having a sense of humor too is encouraging. Hope the rest of the corn harvest went well and you are able to keep warm. Looks like it is getting cold near there from the weather maps. We are not likely to get above 40 in the next week with lows in the 20s. Mid-MI

[@richardcleasby105]

Can’t beat those long handle scoop shovels

[@glenmomrik727]

Ground a lot of feed with the same setup you have gehl grinder 1066 but that was 30 yrs ago brings back good memories

[@andrewm6192]

Interesting video! Thanks for sharing 😀

[@ronaldhenderly3539]

Brings back memories of grinding feed in the 70's. We had an Owatonna,junk. Got Gehl 120 great grinder/mixer. Miss smell of adding molasses & sweet minerals. Had to grind every other day milking 250 hd in SE Ohio.Thanks for sharing.

[@donleckrone6448]

Good vid,sure brings back memories

[@danvanninhuys745]

Another awesome video, Thank you

[@mikebrown1188]

Great video love the 1066. That mill does nice job. Cattle will be happy.

[@HM-0410]

Always a pleaser to see you and your family. Nice to see a small dairy operation and the day to day activities. Thank you for taking the time to record this and share it with us. I grew up on a small farm that raised beef cattle and pigs. We had a lot of the same machines that your family has. Your videos take me back to my childhood and the fun times I had. I never considered it work as your family does. I always enjoyed everything I did no matter how bad it was. I hope God blesses your family and you have a safe winter.

[@kimphilley621]

Great family...Love the homestyle guitar

[@dannycook7042]

I like the boy in the suit coat you seen that a lot years ago a man would buy a suit of clothes he'd wear the pants out he had the coat left and you didn't throw away a good garment so he wore that for light protection in the fall you would see pictures of a man with a suit coat with bib overalls

[@paulhoover3853]

Great to the videos, we did things very much the same way u all do, some of the same equipment and methods here in Ohio, keep them coming!

[@WyndCan540]

If it isn't red it stays in the shed that's my motto, really nice video guys I so miss those days

[@fcalmant]

Good job boys! It's nice to see you working in a good mood. Cheers from Belgium!

[@big.ronwisconsin9598]

Lol nice suit jacket gotta look sharp

[@robertburt9071]

I worked for a beef farmer that fatten cattle He had Gehl 125 Made a mix a day or two a day Great hammer mill

[@louGriggs1944]

Boy, do I remember many hot, sweaty hours shoveling that corn. Great memories. Thanks so much.

[@jonr42]

Love your videos, brings back memories from when I was a kid on the farm. The following occurred in the mid 1950’s when I was 14 or 15. I was grinding corn, had our F-20 belted up to the hammer mill. I liked how every time when I threw a shovel full of corn into the hammer mill the belt would twitch and the Farmall’s engine would pull down a little. Then I got this bright idea, wondered if I could shovel corn fast enough to stall the F-20’s engine. Shoveled for all I was worth and watched the belt fly off!

[@chrisray6536]

Awesome video. Really enjoy seeing you all eork together.

[@raymondhenderson1516]

Love the videos.Nothing like old school equipment still working everyday.Thanks for sharing.

[@ironwolf16alpha]

man mason your hilarious bro lol keep doing those bits and the sunglasses on you three was great too!!

[@chadwilliams2973]

Love the 1066 black strip!!! Wish I was there helping you guys have not done that in years

[@jamesryan9206]

Loved it

[@richardharms8748]

Great video. Thanks for sharing 😊.

[@michaelschroeder4215]

Thanks for the awesome video grinding feed I like that stuff. Suitecoat is awesome great sense of humor. Keep up the hardwork.

[@scottlabant8406]

Great video, nice that you grind your own corn, I remember mill coming and loading corn, take to mill grind it and bring back to load gravity feed bins. Your videos bring back great memories of spending every summer on dairy farm.

[@bruceprentice6441]

Great video. I used to get old suit coats that my sister would buy for me from church rummage sales, for a buck or two. Just fine for fall work

[@petenolte4192]

My uncle's had a arts way mixer great memories

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Awesome.... Picking corn and feed both chores I absolutely loved doing. And a Gehl mixer too!! We use that as well. Tomorrow I am doing that boosted by Gierok inspiration.

[@8tomtoms8]

Good Wills and thrift stores are the best!! I buy ALL of my clothes there. So what if you get grease or paint on a $1.00 shirt!! Great video guys!!!

[@johnthompson4162]

Great video, I miss grinding feed, used to be a everyday deal for me. Doing a great job, especially with the 1066. John T.

[@thomasspink4930]

I remember doing that. Grandpa had a Gehl 135 grinder. Would take me about an hour to shovel it full by myself.

[@paulreis1648]

Nice shades boys good work on the feed

[@parnellbeth]

When he explained the thrift store jacket for prom..... I hit the subscribe button.

[@doncc6080]

I watch a small dairy farm in Maine with 70 milk cows. They feed the cows corn meal and add minerals. The feed bins are full now one last crib.

[@dougfingerson]

Brings back memories of my farming days.I still think that was a cheaper way of handling the corn,especially if you were feeding cattle. Gierok farms must be in northern Wisconsin, don't see cribed corn here in southern part of the state

[@Blackwellll3066]

Cool video always fun when ya post a video

[@drknockers5716]

Great video

[@richardwilkens4577]

I had to grind 2 loads yesterday 1 for the dairy cows and 1 for the beef cows

[@alancooper5386]

in the olden days before 2020 we ground feed with 2 mixer mills 7 days a week from 6am til 8pm just to feed the pigs, we now upgraded and have a box mill in each hog barn and have a 10,000 bush bin beside each barn along with 2 smaller bins for minerals etc and other additives. sure reduced our daily work load for a few weeks cause work is never finished on a farm that is feeding the world.

[@kevinriese6384]

Mason could be an umpire in that jacket.

[@teenagefarmer]

Lol

[@davidfrese4975]

brings back memories of grinding ear corn on the family farm when i was young in the 60's and 70's using an old Allis Chalmers tractor with a belt driven stationary hammer mill, and of course the grain scoop shovel too. The ground feed from the hammer mill was blown into a room in a wooden granary, and then we had to shovel the ground feed into sacks. The whole grinding process was very dusty, and a little scary too, when it was my turn to be the one feeding corn, wheat, and oats, sometimes mixed with hay, into the hammer mill. We only had one dairy cow, but a lot of hogs to feed. Dad never got around to buying one of those nice pull type feed grinders with PTO that you are using, since he had 5 boys to do the shoveling and sacking, hehehe. Thanks for the video (*_*)

[@danw6014]

Hahaha. Mr Douglas wore a suit to do his farm work too. All our round cribs had a channel halfway through to the center vent big enough for a dragline. Took a lot of cement to build them though.

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Great stuff y'all.... Merry Christmas ⛄🎄

[@geraldsieber7266]

Your dog knew there were some mice and rats in there. He was really looking excited . I always hated getting down to the end of a crib with little critters jumping around.

[@RedCowsGreenFields]

Kid cleans up ok

[@claytonburgin669]

Always love your videos

[@trunkshvac3339]

I must have missed the video where you guys picked a cabbed 1066? Or maybe just have to go back and watch th line up video....... oh darn! Either way you folks run some of the nicest older equipment... just cool to see. Be well, be blessed, and know it.

[@PremierYachtFLL]

Love these videos. I always feel like I’m right there with you. I can smell the corn right through my TV.

[@pagrainfarmer]

I remember the ear corn days. I always ground ear corn for the dairy cattle and shelled some for my hogs.

[@robertbarlow6715]

Love them IH tractors

[@herbmartin9717]

Great video!! Can you do a video, showing how you feed out your ground corn, also showing your wooden bin set up? Maybe you have done one already.😃

[@jamesclapper4744]

Great video. The new ZZ Top! Lol

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Thanks for the video.

[@charlesovergaard8765]

Dress for success!

[@bobrat]

Grey flannel casual AG wear~Designed by Mason,

[@outbackladas]

Does your farm have a “dress code”?😂😂😂 Top hat and tails to feed the cows? Regards from Down Under.

[@crazyoldbat7600]

Well, the Good Will explanation of the suit coat completely destroyed my "much cooler" Men In Black theory.

[@fullers1966]

I keep subscribing but for some reason I keep losing it so I just subscribed again

[@levilarkins8869]

Is the structure in the middle of the crib and the grates for ventilation purposes?

[@williamthome3942]

Did Mason change from his corn shoveling coat to his corn picking coat like Oliver (see how we got your Oliver’s in) Wendel Douglass
