[@wrldisyours3328]

@@acemobile9806 its so crazy. Agriculture is evil and people who eat cows are evil but if everyone in the world turned vegan all you would see is Agriculture land and it still wouldn't be enough to sustain the US. Not to mention we would have nothing to trade for export cause we would need all the grains and vegetables and stuff so prices of good we trade for will also ski rocket along with food prices. Vegans need to stop pushing that eating meat is so evil cause they won't like a world where everyone is vegan. So stfu and let me eat me lol. Dirty libs

I'm an "over the road" general freight trucker, which means I get to drive all over this beautiful Country of ours. I have driven day after day for many years past similar operations when in Dairy country and also in corn country like you and Grant farm. I'm from a more urban and suburban type community so I'm always fascinated just to drive through these type of places and attempt to imagine what I can't see at high speed glance, such as how the day to day operations and the lives of these people and the time and tasks that they perform on a daily basis. Thank you for taking the time to perform these highly detailed and informative tours, and providing us "average Joe" type folks like myself an opportunity to see how it all works.

Love it love it love it

Wow! I've never seen a "cowasel" before? Neat idea! Looked like the cows enjoyed the cool ride, the food and getting that milk out? Only thing missing was playing soft music for them to enjoy! LOL! Really efficient and the place was super clean too much like NY Farmgirl's place was. Thanks so much for showing us those huge working dairy farms! AWESOME! Mega farming costing mega bucks! We have similar technology at my work with digesters that make methane gas from waste to run our equipment. Grant had a kid on Christmas morning smile looking at all of that awesome machinery! I would have done the same if I were there and I did watching the video. Just think Laura, you have potential video material from different types of farming all across the land. Wheat/grain, cotton, hemp, tobacco, animals, fish, trees, etc. and more. I'm sure that such farmers everywhere would be glad to show you how they do it just like NY Farmgirls and their friends? Endless possibilities for more videos and visits to other states!

I'm really glad you showed this operation to us. Most Americans don't know that agriculture is the basis of America's success. This country would dry up and blow away without our farmers. So few doing so much for all the rest of us. Personally I think I would go bonkers level crazy without cheese!

You are somewhat correct. Baling hay is harvesting. The way you're smiling so big, you remind me of a kid on a field trip. Keep up that enthusiasm and excitement for your interest.

Laura,Grant, great video and educational showing the differences of the types and areas of the country.

Thank you Grant for showing close up of The methane power generators, blow's my mind the number of hrs on them engine's.I wonder how often the oil changed on them? That's gotta be a lot of oil for 24 7 run time.

[@gpickering7219]

They are very clean burning engines and the reason why they last so long is the engines are diesels converted too menthane so they are built very heavy too begin with. Menthane isn't as hard on the internal components as diesel fuel is.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

The oil is most likely on an analysis program where they take a sample from a port while it runs and send it off to a lab to determine if the oil needs changing. Kind of like AMSOIL does.

[@ericprater4017]

Rock pickers, we used to hire college kids and go out in our fields and pick up just the 2 hand rocks that came to the surface as the ground froze and thawed, we'd spread out 8 people wide behind a dump truck and pick until it was full, now we use those giant rollers that you walked past to punch them back underground as we have all converted to rotary mowers for swathing hay and they need a flat surface (which the roller provides) to swathe across. We have so many rocks that when the big farmers go after the rocks on a plowed and disced field they windrow the rocks and come in with a "rock picker" that picks and then conveyers the rocks into a dump truck, you can actually see the surface of the ground lower 1/2 an inch as all those rocks are taken off the field. Those tracked trackers have less compaction (you can't see where they drove in the crop) and way smoother ride across the field.

For years I hauled feed to small and huge farms like this for Kalmbach Feeds Inc. The first time I saw one of these massive carousel milking operations I was in awe. The yummy feed that we delivered made them happy cows while they rode the wheel.😁 We also delivered to totally automated milk barns that had "Robot" milkers that read the cow's tags to let them in if they haven't been milked...a really cool process and technology. When I was a kid I thought milking 80 head twice a day was something...things sure change.
