Hauling Sand

#AcresofClayHomestead
We are a family owned and operated Dairy Farm in Michigan.
Our free stall beds are bedded with sand for the cows comfort. Today we are hauling sand from a local sand pit.

Rhonda, God truly has blessed you and your family.

[@tomduncan3822]

That is good looking sand. I use to operate a scoop loader in a gravel pit. The dairy I worked on had a mastitis problem probably due to a drafty barn and not keeping the free stalls clean. Eventually the owner purchased a hammermill and bedded with straw.

Hi Ronda, ( @Acres of Clay Homestead ) I just found your channel (and subscribed!) ... so refreshing to a country boy living in the big city now for over 30 yrs! I enjoy getting to look in on the activities on your farm, through your perspective and camera lens! Thank you for all of your patient narration and hard work, Ronda, to bring these videos to us! You all make what I know is hard work almost look glamorous! I've come to admire your family, and am looking forward to tagging along by way of your videos. Lastly, thank you for your labors to feed the rest of us!!

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Welcome to our channel, where farming really isn't so glamorous!! 😄

[@lawrencekieffer6770]

Every mothers dream a son she can lookup to.Also nice to get things off the top shelf. He's so different than some of the kids I've worked with they would spend more time figuring out reasons why they can't do something then if they just did it. Your so blessed with kids that just do there job and there parents must have taught them well

[@thomasbrockett8009]

Perfect, no noise that wasn't needed. Thank you. I rarely listen to music, I'd rather hear machines and critters tell you what is demanding attention by the sounds. I want to find that guy who starts his adds by screaming and .....

[@David-wu7jj]

Nice to watch a normal family for achange working

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

[@randyowens2717]

Love you and your family!

[@aubreymaxam7465]

Watching your videos makes me miss dairy farming even more. It's a good miss. Just wish I was in better health. God bless you for doing what you do. Great videos!

[@faizadv2091]

[@AaricHale]

That's pretty cool to have that resource to use ! We get our sand from the creek behind the house .

[@georgemarshall7508]

[@7pdude]

[@wiliamhebel2305]

Recently found your channel, I'm slowly getting caught up on your past segments. Enjoy the various subjects and projects y'all work on. We would like to hear Ethan talk, especially about his truck he's working on. Keep the videos coming. God bless

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Welcome to our channel! I'm working on Ethan. LOL!

[@cushte4996]

love your videos Ronda, i just subbed. wish McKenzie happy birthday. best wishes from ireland.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Welcome to our channel!!

[@pooler347]

Afternoon have a fantastic day

[@AndersonCattleCo]

My farm is sand like that, I have to be really careful with how I farm so it doesn't blow away. We run cows on pastures that were farms in the 30's where they all blew and they just packed what they had and moved and the government took the land back.

[@samson1200]

Another great video from your terrific farm family. Just a note on your loader is eating a rail injection. Best get it replaced even though they run about a 800. a injection.

[@cucvfarmer]

With 6,100 cows milking and about 700- 750 dry cows and prefresh cows we go thru alot of sand. We have a sand lane and try to reuse as much sand as we can.

[@tonyburelle6633]

Great video

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

Looks like fun, driving big machinery haha

[@AJmx2702001]

Good video thanks for showing us how you do that

[@cbboggs6459]

Great video. Proof no two days on the farm are the same. 🙂

[@jackiehorsley9263]

cool video

[@ajskab99]

He called you over to put you up on the sand dune with the telehandler, didn’t he. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@wiliamhebel2305]

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Ranch that's exactly what I thought too!

[@zetuskid]

I cannot get over how much your children favor(at least the ones I have seen). I think they might look after you. What type farming does your husbands brother do? Obviously he doesn’t need the sand so I assume he is not a dairy farmer? Oh well the work must go on!

[@acresofclayhomestead]

He's a turkey farmer.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Nice video 👍

[@georgenew9259]

Seems Ethan might be a lil camera shy. Great Video.

[@JawTooth]

I just got a load of sand for my farm last week but I had to pay for it. Lol

[@michaelcamacho2741]

Have a Bless Day

[@debbie2663]

🙏❤️🙏

[@richardmaitland8206]

This may be a dumb question I'm not sure but do you all need CDLs to drive those semis or is there any special rule on the farm just curious from South Carolina

[@donburg5125]

Did you remember to get milk this morning before the tanker showed up?

[@acresofclayhomestead]

NO, but I didn't need any today. Thank for watching!!

[@marygordon3032]

👍👍👍😎

[@nancylitton390]

What do you do with the sand? Thank you for sharing and God bless.

[@maggiemgg1]

Bedding for the cows Miss Nancy :)

[@acresofclayhomestead]

It all goes for bedding for the milk cows.

[@billnowlin9148]

What do you do with the sand when you clean the loafing pens?

[@robindavies2204]

Do you have to pass a lorry test to drive semis on the roads in England you do

[@lawrencekieffer6770]

In wisconsin a farm owner hauling his own goods can operate within a certain distance. Unfortunately this is abused by some owners who will hire people with little or no experience and that with a fully loaded semi is a bad combination. Funny side note a sheriff stopped at a farm and noticed that 2 separate trucks had the same licence plate. Owner responded i only have one truck on the road at a time true story

[@ozz5350]

👍👏👏👏

[@chvella]

Hi new sub here. I don't know if anyone told you about the waste of time and fuel? That loader is filling the bucket half way up and even the amount of load in the trailer looks very poor. I think you could do one trip to get that amount of sand in that trailer. Might be wrong but I think you can do much better. How ever thanks for the vid I enjoyed it.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Welcome to our channel! Sand is heavy, lifting a full bucket with the loader could tip the loader over, and the truck can only haul so much weight.

[@shortycummins]

she said 18 yards was 25 ton , that would be over 50,000 pounds canadian, x2 would be too much weight driving on that soft stuff and hed probably get his trailer stuck .

[@rogerwilson9892]

Inland sea wonder that deposited the sandy soil there.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

your as bad as me getting videos out, but my problem is everything i have to do is out in the open, and it been pouring rain here in Thunder bay Ont. Canada for over 2 months, but very soon it will turn to snow, this past week a year ago we had a foot of snow dumped, so far this year only heavy frosts, been watching for some time, and yet to know were you are, from your old video i see you get snow but dont know if it melts soon after, or you have the same long 40 below months like us

[@acresofclayhomestead]

We got 1 1/2 inches of rain again yesterday. We don't need any more rain for a while. I'm not ready for frost here yet. We live in West Michigan. Near the big lake so we get lake affect snow in the winter. Some of our trees are just starting to turn color. First frost for us is around Oct 10th. Last year we got snow early too!

[@arnoldromppai5395]

I am 30 min west of thunder bay Ont. Canada witch in on the shores of that largest of the great lakes, and we get hammered by the lake effect snow, in town it some times rain but out here is snow, I woke up this morning to our 2nd hard frost , our leaves are well under way falling off big time, my next video will show this mornings frost and leaves, last week a year ago we had a 6 inch dump of wet snow, that stayed for 3 days, yesterday it poured rain all day, today it is partly sunny but a cool 50 deg. at noon, thanks for the reply

[@alibarri9967]

Possible know where site in any state 🙏

[@elgato894]

do you have a very high fule bill to run all your farming equipment?it seems to me your rolling stock drinks lots of gassss

[@HuntGamingProductions]

4:53 good place for a bike to lay........

[@jerryd6680]

I have Cheerios and Milk every time I watch your vlog....

[@alancooper5386]

Hi; my bro sent off another email early early Saturday morning, almost the same message as the lost one but i removed 1 line and 2 pics. So we both tryed to befriend another You Tuber, a farm kid 1 year younger then us, he had computer problems and my brother said, heck we got this extra desk top computer we could send, give it to him, so we sent him, now his channel is working again, but the strange thank you we both got was that he blocked both of us, hmmm being kind and friendly to some people sure isn't worth it, no matter we were not using that computer so its not any loss for us, maybe one day he will think back about his past cruel choices

[@acresofclayhomestead]

I looked and looked thru all my emails but still nothing... Is he sending it to [e-mail]? That was so nice of you guys to give him a computer! Sorry to hear how he treated you back. :( One day you will be blessed by your kindness!
