I would love to see videos on all of the different processes and techniques used in farming! Sure gives you a new appreciation for all of the work that goes into things that we take for granted on a day-to-day basis

[@xtrickster6556]

Thank you SO much for this video. A LOT of people don't know how things are done or where their food comes from. Let's hope people appreciate all the work involved in farming.

My grandfather was a mechanical engineer and helped design equipment for John Deer amongst others. I never got to see much of it in action so thank you for this. It adds to my appreciation and love for my grandfather. And appreciation for farmers too!

[@olivei2484]

There is the History of John Deere book, I can get title when I get home. Also, if you can find a few books written for High School kids in Ag programs, there is a lot of physics and engineering detailed in those books. Not new machines, but the basic principles are the same.

When you use the white wrap on the round bales, it's pretty easy to convince a city person that there was a bumper crop of marshmallows this year.

[@garywagner2466]

That’s what I told my daughters when they were little. Also that straw bales were shredded wheat, which was closer to the truth.

These are probably my favourite type of video. I sincerely appreciate you educating me on some of the farming mysteries (to me). What’s more is… I have been continually passing on your lessons onto my two sons. Obviously, not my daughter - she only gets the cooking lessons! (Take it easy, its a joke… I don’t have a daughter). Actually… “I” really enjoy (and need!) the cooking lessons too. Have a great week. Thanks for the video, QDM.

Okay, the turning radius of the tractor swathing machine is crazy!! 😮 Also, my 11 year old daughter came in while I was half through watching this video and then when it was over wanted to watch it again! Then we watched one of the oat videos and she loved it! I think you may have sparked an interest in farming for her! 😅

[@QuickDickMcDick]

That is awesome!

[@francyperez9606]

Hey Quick Dick, I freaking love your videos, man!!! My father had a farm that he lost to communism back in Cuba and he used to have all sorts of animals, tractors, and agricultural machinery; and each and every one of your videos takes me back to my childhood. thank you so much for that.

I love how you explain the systems so we city folk can understand how it all works....love the channel, thanks QDM

[@user-KrackerJack]

As a teenager I helped out on a small dairy farm here in the northeast USA during hay season , well because I was dating the farmers daughter so that came along with it .Throwing the bails on the truck then stacking them in the barn . We didn't use the big round ones not even sure they had them back then , it was about 45 years ago. Sadly I didn't marry the farmers daughter because I was young and stupid . I still love her to this day 😢

[@journeyman7189]

Always so interesting QDM. The incredible amount of work that goes into keep the country fed is just incredible. These should be mandatory viewing in schools like the Canadian Heritage Moments. Nate

[@anulfadventures]

I drove across southern MB, SK and AB this June into July. I started noticing in MB Cow/Calf herds all standing belly and sometimes ear deep in pasture grass. The calves appeared to be freshly branded but the cows were all standing just inside the pasture looking at the gate. I was trying to figure what was with that! This year the pastures were lush and green yet these cows and their calves were standing by the gate looking lost and forlorn. I finally decided that all these cows had come off pasture last fall. They had been fed hay near each respective home place in preparation of the calving season. Once the calves were born the cows and now calves were still being held perhaps in a different paddock but still near the farm/ranch until all the calves were born. Still eating hay. Now that the branding is done and the cow/calves are finally out on pasture, some of the best I've seen in years, these girls were still pining for the home place and the attention they received getting fed hay twice a day. I can't say if this is true or not but as I worked my way west that cattle seemed to figure it out and were moving out, spreading onto the pasture like cows are supposed to.

[@rpmrgm100]

This brings back memories. As a kid, 12 - 16, I worked many weekends on a small local beef farm [40 head]. I learned to drive on a Ford 2000 tractor, and did fertilizer, haying, raking and bailing [ ~3' bales ]. Nothing like the smell of fresh cut hay. It was a pretty good time, lots of hard work. Did other chores too but haying season was the best. Great content and thanks for the memories.

[@freeholdequine2733]

I wish I had fields that flat, our farm is on a drumlin, so if I'm not careful when I eject a bale it can roll into the swamp or a fence.

Great show every time QD !!!

[@MrsMoon-qs2gf]

My grandfather and uncle were dairy farmers and raised their own hay. They worked with their neighbors to bale then drive a truck along and load the bales on a flat bed truck by hand. Later, in the 1960's, my uncle used a device mounted on the truck to lift the bales onto the flat bed. One person could do all the work a crew used to. Amazing machinery you have!

[@wornoutwrench8128]

As a retired heavy equipment mechanic, I have a love of most things mechanical. I was a logger, I enjoy watching farm videos, such interesting equipment compared to what I worked on. But watching all those chains going around in the bailer, no thank you LOL.

[@terrytuepah171]

I have a couple of jobs I need done on my house thanks to an early hay season this year I now have 2 great helpers to work on my house with me. I think farmers are the only people in the world that book their other life commitments around haying and harvest seasons lol

[@ChristiaanLuimes-k1f]

Looks like some nice haying weather. Down in the south end of Ontario we have been getting a lot of rain. It took over 2.5 weeks to only get 150 acres cut and baled.

[@WthrLdy]

We managed to get our bales in the 2nd week of July, we only had half yield due to year 3 of the highest level of drought. We were grateful for it though. It's rained every couple of days since for 5 weeks, not enough to bust the drought, but enough to ruin a lot of cut hay, now rotting in the fields. Those that didn't cut the past 5 weeks, are cutting this week as we head for a week of sun 100F, and wind. PERFECT. We call the baler the 'pooper'.
