Hauling Bales off the Field and Trying to Wrap them before it Rains. Grazing Sorghum Sudan Grass

[@TN-Land-Manager]

12:11, look right of the tractor (Evans left) looks like you stirred some critter up that took off through the grass.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@Innercityoutdoorsman]

@12:15 you scared something off while cutting your path😮😮

[@timphelps3568]

I enjoy each and every video you upload no matter the content. Like other commenters, I appreciate hearing how you value time with your wife once she gets home. I wish you continued success as your channel grows. I find "zero" value in broadcast television content these days which is why I have none wired into my home. KZbin has opened a world of learning and discovery to millions both good and bad. It's channels like yours with good wholesome content of everyday life that I find worthy of watching. Keep the cameras rolling Evan! 😊

[@bobfanning6816]

Well said, I agree. Great channel!

[@bigofishbone]

@@timphelps3568 I agree with your comments!!!…I find very little content on TV now days…Other than watching my favorite sport of NFL football & the “World Series” play offs,,,I look forward every day for Videos from Evan & Rebeca…I always admire the both of them and their hard work…

[@joshcrd7925]

Silage would probably be your best choice with the sorghum. Probably would be difficult to get it to dry down enough for hay not to mention it would be similar to dry cornstalks

[@bonniebowden2314]

At about 12.17 you could see something running through the grass on the driver's side of the tractor. The grass was moving like something was running away.

[@daleficklin1607]

Sure would like to see that wrapper in a shed somewhere. 😁

[@ithacacomments4811]

Good job Evan! I like that you honor the time you can spend with your wife and wrap up your day when she gets home. Life is short.

[@JimHerman-o3q]

Ive tried that ( making time for the wife ) and it only got me in trouble... she asking....why are you sitting around the house ???? You cant find something to do ???

[@DanKlein_1]

I need to do my second cut hay this week. I am in Western Pa. not sure but if your weather is similar, there isn't much more time to bale. days will soon be getting shorter and dew will start getting heavier and it will take more days of dry weather to be able to get hay (or your sorghum) dried.

[@robinnorman1170]

Rite equipment for the job. "Lawn mower" . Lol

[@davidwittmer8806]

My favorite channel to watch your journey, love you guys 💕

[@AndrewGarkey87]

Really like your videos! I would think about getting a grapple for your tractor. Then you can stack them.

[@cchambers8632]

At 12:13 you had something moving away from the tractor on your left. You can see the grass moving as it travels.

[@peterkoster5053]

Yeah I saw that too

[@jimbo16720]

Something ran through the field while you were mowing on the left side.

[@jonathanfeige6841]

Looks Like there moved an Animal away from the tractor when you were mowing the Sudan gras: 12:15. Greetings from Germany. I think i never missed a Single Video from you evan!🎉

[@chaseme81871]

Anyone else see the critter running through the grass @12:11

[@earlhiser2341]

that 25 hp tractor is pretty impressive

[@stevedrew5425]

Good job! I know the rain feeling during hay season

[@pabapaba6869]

Wow! Such great progress on the farm since I started watching a few years ago. Your hard work is paying off. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@geraldlaronde6093]

Bale and wrap your sorghum before a frost and before it gets too high

[@helenhelps9619]

You are working hard for someone who quit their job.👏👏

[@pampilgrim2274]

🤣🤣🤣

[@georgew.5639]

I love it when the rain waits until my work is done. And then it can rain all it wants to. That’s what happened for me today. 😊

[@lastoeck]

The high speed marshmallow production was hilarious to watch.🤣🤣

[@laucp2308]

Hey Evan! Just a friendly suggestion. Since you had such a big harvest from your fruit trees this year and couldn’t pick all of them in time, I thought I'd share a tip we often use here in Spain. Besides feeding the pigs, we always keep some fruit trees in the chicken coop. The chickens will not only eat the ripe fruit that falls, but they'll also take care of the insects on the fallen fruit. Free protein for your chickens. You could also let your turkeys and meat chickens graze in the orchard.

[@farm38]

G'Day Evan, Been an avid watcher of your channel for some time now. watched you grow from the old tractors where you were willing to take the up and downs of it all. With regards your bailage concerns based on my past experiences of the same you'll have a cracking crop under that wrap and it'll all be the best of haylage it'll smell that good you'd think you could eat it yourself. Haylage is easier to make well than hay especially with the weather being wet in the summer lately. I enjoy each and every episode. Thank You. Regards farmer Steve from the U.K.

[@dmark6699]

Wow your apple tree is doing well.

[@walterchapman2884]

Enjoying your channel. I know what you do is a lot of work. I like the way you open one field for the animals to graze and close off the well eaten one. It takes a lot of planning

[@patriciamoser665]

I don’t know why it makes me so happy watching you work so hard but I do enjoy it. Good luck with the apples.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Awesome , thanks for sharing !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️

[@davidwittmer8806]

Good job getting the bales wrapped before the rain. Keep up the good work.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Can you get your hands on more of the pipe used for fence posts, perhaps up to 16' in length? If so you could design and build a very rugged welded storage barn structure for consolidating your accumulated implements. The base can be concrete, imbedded RR ties, gravel, etc. Perhaps this idea has already been floated. Maybe not. 👍👍👍

[@ianhaggart1438]

HELLO.. sir.. that tractors are doing you proud 👏.. perfect for what your doing.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@edrickelman242]

I use the 91% octane/ethanol free gas with 1 ounce of Seafoam per gallon in my two Toro mowers, snowblower, a power washer, and motorcycle. All my power equipment seems to run more efficiently with the combination. I've been told numerous repair shops don't use gas with ethanol. Thanks for all your effort it takes to produce quality videos.

[@Chris-jh3tg]

Very nice. One man operation, and looks really good!

[@tonymccuiston9039]

I am amazed that the 2515 can move 2 hay rolls that easy. For such a small tractor TYM has created a great little tractor.

[@colleenmccowan5083]

Making good headway! Your videos are always nice to watch. Learn something new in almost all of them. Wondering how the dogs are doing? Haven't seem them in a while.

[@stangaston9033]

This is still my favorite channel. I really like having a new video several times per week. I move out of Illinois on 2022. When I miss Illinois I binge watch your channel. The foliage and trees a different for every region. Thanks Evan.

[@sandraengstrand2784]

It’s just like a movie!! Seeing the animals enjoying that tall lush field of greens! 💕☀️🐑🐄

[@rozmoran1840]

It’s great that your stock don’t need much incentive to move to the new grazing area and then disappear into it lol lol 😂 love the aerial shots.

[@michellepollino4986]

Love watching❤.

[@cajunnathan4586]

That hydraulic top 3-arm is really nice

[@betpatpatten3840]

Quick way to make applesauce instead of cooking the apples on the stove, put them in the big crockpot overnight on low and the next morning you'll have applesauce and whatever sugar you wanna add and anything else you might wanna put on them like maybe a hint of cloves package and it's ready to go. I learned that recipe for an old crockpot recipe years ago, but not many people know of it anymore. Enjoy it's wonderful to see all the fresh homegrown meat, fruit and vegetables you're putting up. Everyone that your house will certainly be healthy over the winter!!

[@williamwhite882]

You take great care of your livestock and I bet they are very tasty!

[@throwawayshill4718]

that summer grass is crazy it looks like corn

[@ritahaking205]

du könntest aus dem Mais auch Silage machen, dann hast du das ganze Jahr etwas davon

[@donkerr8709]

I love your videos, I'll bet you don't have any trouble falling to sleep each night!!

[@deniseellenburg649]

Nice to see a farmer not over-graze their fields.

[@AfterTheRains]

Well done for beating the rain. The apples look fabulous and since you made me need an apple I’m glad I have one Royal Gala in the fridge! 😀

[@deniseellenburg649]

The bale wrapper ... what an invention, huh??

[@dwighthires3163]

I like what I see in your farming techniques. Thanks for taking the time to let us look in on your work.

[@jamesschaffhausen4466]

Hey Evan. Another Great homestead video. My favorite is the work with 2 TYM Tractors. Any updates on the 2 dogs. Not on camera for awhile ❤🐕🐕😎😇☝️👏🙏❤

[@suecrothers9041]

Nice looking hay!

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Enjoyed your video Evan. In my opinion thats to much weight for that little tractor there not built like the older ones. Have great day.

[@harveystephens6115]

Now that w be good hay

[@kkeenan536]

Loved the Jersey walking out into the “jungle”, she’s in heaven! 😆

[@bobfanning6816]

Good looking hay crop this year. That looks like a public road near where you are storing your hay bales. You might consider storing them a little further from the public. My neighbor had bales set fire by vandals. He now stores them on back of the farm away from the public. Obviously wrapping yours will reduce the risk but vandals are pretty unpredictable. He also moves one bale near the public road each Halloween and spray paints a face on one end, pretty cool. Love the videos, keep them coming.

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Evan! I have never seen hay bales being wrapped. Thank you for this video!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Very good job bush hogging a path for your electric fence as that is a must for keeping it from shortening out.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Evan, you beat the rain barely. Great timing, got the bales all wrapped and marked. Interesting how you are working the sorghum fields , will it make much difference in the taste of the beef by allowing the cattle graze those fields? Stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you all share with us. Fred.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Any time you're Hay'in and beat the rain, it's always a nice feeling isn't it. Been there done that. and had my "Wet" days too!. unfortunately. thanks for sharing. ECF

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Evan and Reb, love your videos .

[@mariesheppard3750]

LOL Evan you had to quit your regular job due to a full time on the farm, Never any end of work on a Farm, I miss my Big Farm but at 83 now and down to 1 acre it s just fine for me,

[@markrice3502]

reppeing the fruits of your labor makes it taste so much better if you ask me the apples look great .thanks for shareing enjoy life and be happy

[@tommysamuelson9963]

Hi Evan and Rebecca, what is your take on freezer chest vs building a walk in freezer. Love to follow your work!

[@markpriddy1]

Good camera work. Loved the background views. Thanks.

[@terrycastor8299]

I really like that wrapper. Even if those bales were rained on for a few minutes it would be preferable to having them get soaked. Simple ID method. It will be interesting to see if any notable differences occur. Another interesting video, Evan!

[@ourlouisianalife318]

That hydraulic third arm works like a champ. We’ve talked about wrapping our bales but the equipment is so expensive. I will have to check one like that out. Great video Evan

[@ruthstill169]

Looks like you have some happy animals😊

[@stevedrew5425]

Great job!!!

[@sandratalbert9578]

Interesting video. Lots of variety. Glad to see you are able to close your work day at a reasonable time. 👍👍👍

[@loulauer5853]

Nice productive day or two. That hydraulic top link looks like a winner winner chicken dinner!

[@jmp2455]

Loved the vid!

[@ithacacomments4811]

Gala are my favorite apples!

[@csnanny1882]

That is some awesome wrapping, Evan you have come a long way. God bless

[@tommychew6544]

Great episode, looking forward to seeing the progress and which decisions you make as far as silage and such! Being there full time now makes all the difference in the world on your opportunities as to what you choose to do and experiment with. Looking forward to seeing the progress moving forward!

[@davidwatsonii9469]

things are comin together

[@Dan-qy1rg]

You sure are having a good year for your sorghum/sudan, congrats on that. I like that your marked you hay bales, I try to keep mine separate from spring and fall, just by how I store them. Good job on the wrapping, I like what you did there too. Thanks for the video, I hope you are having a good weekend!

[@AnomadAlaska]

Cows loved the fresh greens!

[@elainedegoede6276]

Wow you did great. GALA appel is my favorite too. Enjoy them. ❤🙏

[@davidscott8400]

At 12:15 in your video to the left of the tractor there was was a animal couldn't tell what it was

[@mikeharris2985]

The side by side is handy.

[@TheBeerbelly007]

Hey Rebekah and Evan :)

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

I buy plastic dishpans at Walmart for about $1 and use those to separate food on the shelves of my freezer. Cheap and easy to clean. Should work good for your apples, too

[@dustinpitts2847]

Probably make good silage

[@kathycrook1913]

Hi guys!

[@22gonefishing]

Nice to see you finally have a side by side, I bet it really helps so you don't need to get a tractor or use the pickup to help with the chores.

[@garystlaske7703]

Hi Evan , you really ,really put together a great video of your work , you explain everything well. It's a Pleasure to follow your Progress. Continued Success, till the next video, Thankyou & Good Luck !

[@dennykress4772]

Did you ever think about building a round bale wagon ? It would save trips and time, great winter project now that you are there full time you can go crazy in the shop this winter.

[@markfin7225]

Good timing

[@micheldupuis-q9l]

Hi Even you should give a look at WHITE HOUSE ON THE HILL pretty interesting little famely farm......keep the good job we love your chanel

[@michigantler5046]

good job

[@phillipjones2420]

What breed chickens are yall processing? They are huge! Also please video the processing!! (Well as much as YT will let you)

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Thanks! CVA

[@whitby910]

Great video, thanks.

[@adammckenna3950]

You need to get one of those hay wagons done

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Evan enjoyed your video today. thank you for sharing.

[@johnchaffin5494]

Evan if you stab the bale right above the center the fork usually goes in easier. Just something I learned doing it.

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB Good job Evan!! Its been extremely hot and humid this past week so didnt get much done here. Instead of buying lumber and timbers to finish projects, I bought a lot of groceries and meats for canning asap. When I listen to the news, its hard to decide to work on projects or buy food and supplies for the house, but winter is coming. Next month I plan to get back on projects and finish them before Nov. I did get more supplies for the water system in the garden and work on it Monday. The pullets have started laying just in time as the old girls are dieing of old age. Cool front coming in tonight, yay!!

[@carsoncraig3328]

Hey Evan, can you do a video review on your Polaris Ranger ATV and how it helps you around the farm.

[@timcritz3194]

Good video. Curious how those kittens Rebecca brought home are doing. Are they good mousers ?
