Mowing 1st Cutting Alfalfa & Spreading Liquid Manure

5/12/2020 - Setting up the discbine and mowing our 45 acres of alfalfa and then hauling liquid manure at the home farm.

I never grow tired of this. I look forward to each new video. Thanks for adding something gracious to my life.

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

The camera set up from 10:38 to 11:42 was brilliant. Classic use of the frame and using all parts of the space within the frame to show depth and action: the tractor moving through the frame, right to left, front to back, then running straight toward the viewer, then under the tractor then the sky. Eric - do you study this or just know it intuitively. Every video is a new revelation.

[@clap7777]

You are a smart, helpful young man who is going to be Blessed by your continued family farming generation. You are learning many responsibilities and working on machinery gives you much credibility and self-worth that most people your age. Keep up the good work and videos!

[@boogieman3165]

The look on your face when you picked up the camera after running over it was priceless, LOL.

[@57143bodies]

Ahhhhh, the smell of fresh cut and baled alfalfa reminds me of my childhood on grandpa’s farm. Memories.

[@DonLuc23]

I really enjoy your videos. It helps people understand what all it takes to get that bottle of milk on their table. I would be willing to bet that 90% of the people in the US has no idea how much work, the range of skills, and equipment it takes to run a dairy farm. Not to mention, the hours you keep. Thank you for posting. Oh, and thank you for not putting a bunch music on your videos, just your voice and the natural sounds of your equipment. My daughter's in-laws farm. They raise strictly feed crops, corn, wheat, & beans. That was my first exposure to what it costs to farm. The cost of seed, fertilizer, the equipment, etc. Their family has farmed there since the 1800's. So, at least I have had a bit of exposure, but, your videos bring it even farther, again, thank you.

Filling silo was always one of my favorite jobs on the farm. It was just two of us, milk in the morning, chop haylage that was cut the day before, cut more for the next day, milk, bed. Wash rinse repeat. I miss farm life.

[@marshalldavis4455]

You have great video content. I keep waiting for you to add clips of your beautiful wife and baby. Family is part of farming. Thank you for always brightening my day.

[@ohPokey]

You are so lucky living out there. I live in a boring city where houses are within feet of each other and they all look the same 🏡 Thanks Eric for another country moment!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

You made getting that flat tire off look easy. Farmers are stronger than they look. 😊I'm sure you and your Dad will both be happy to get your office finished. Enjoyed your content. 🇺🇸

[@mattunes5823]

I love the straight forward approach. Video title matches the content, and you just get to the point.

[@MichaelHolzmeister]

I totally dig that shot at 11:15. Beautiful sky, fluffy clouds and fertility.

[@DWink-bp8vw]

Five cuttings of high quality alfalfa! The northern tier dairymen must be green with envy. Makes for some happy cows and good production numbers. Well done.

[@calicoasting]

Your videos are very informative, and relaxing....You have a wealth of knowledge to pass along ...Thanks...

[@neenaash5195]

your videos are so interesting. thank you for all the positive energy you bring in every single video you post!

[@bobjohnson1710]

Some artist work with oils, some artist work with water colors, some in clay or stone, but Eric, Eric is an artist that works with manure! Wait until you see the drone shots about mid-June. The dark green colors of the grass mixed in with the light green colors of the corn! Eric's canvas is measured in acres, his paintbrushes are planters and manure spreaders! And the best part about his art is that it's edible for the cows that make the milk that I drink by the gallon these days! Paint on Brother!

[@thundernuts9283]

Honestly! How do people dislike this or any of these great and informative Videos? This is America in Action!

[@margishramoliya2032]

I watch your video even if I don't understand your language.😄 I have been following you for a long time.😊 I want to be a modern dairy farmer(like a10th generation dairyman) 🇳🇪 Love from INDIA Gujrat🇳🇪

[@edwardsofin3593]

Always look forward to you videos. A break in my day. Mowing a forage crop looks very satisfying. Your mower in my yard would finish the cut before the tractor PTO fully engaged (LOL). good job

[@joenoe7885]

You never stop working.....your working habits only come 2 ways...1..love your work..2..and good Godly parents...good job my friend.

[@BrendaHoward411]

It’s nice to see how well you and your Father work together. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful relationship. Love to you and all your family! I’ll keep drinking my milk!!

[@doomed9racing922]

While watching. I was thinking, I just loved the way he places the camera. Then this happened 11:35

[@danpeterson9116]

your fields remind me of an orchestra - each one playing a specific, distinctive part that makes for a complete whole. As always you conduct with ease and capability. You make it look like fun.

[@Mark-uq9km]

Thanks for another great production. I really enjoy seeing that beautiful PA farmland. God Bless you and your family.

[@socialcivilian2703]

Hey Dairyman, gotta say when "Manure" is in the title it reminds me of my childhood. Lived beside a dairy farm for a few years. Thanks for the continued content. Wishing the Family well!

[@rexdelong7581]

Nice alfalfa , like your videos you get right to the point and don't talk about a lot of nothing , keep them coming , very nice operation your family has ,nice to see a well kept farm .

[@dougdiplacido2406]

The camera on the mower deck was pretty cool. right up front view of the cutting. You have great skills on the machine. Very impressive. Thanks for another great video.

[@anotherannon352]

I should get one of the mowers for my yard

[@firecaptaintom6670]

If you need that your way beyond yard status!😄

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

I have a six acre hay field on my land...love that mower

[@calebalt1557]

Ernesto Lopez umm, it would be a lot harder to mow actually but sure

[@ethanringelberg9771]

linda fox you would need a big tractor we have 200 acres and still no noting that big

[@philipcleary1376]

Man your vid quality and content have been great! Well done bud! 👊😎🇺🇸

[@patriciaabell9393]

I hope your parents realize what an awesome kid you are! I enjoy learning about farming and find it very interesting... I am disabled and live in an apartment... this year I am starting a container garden! Because I believe that the better I nourish the soil, the more amazing the vegies will be! My grandmother was a farmer so I try to learn about farming to get a sense of what her life was like... :-)

[@queticomoe4495]

I think all of your different camera angles were stellar! Nicely done, sir!

[@timsherman2164]

Great video!!! Really enjoyed watching it!!!!!!

[@craigconner5405]

Having a cold spring is not helping anyone, happy you all are getting it all in. Like the Subliminal Mt. Dew clip at the 5:56 mark, really had to watch for that one. Also liked the plug for Dr. Jeremiah on the radio.

[@colinlande1640]

Love the videos!

[@downhilltwofour0082]

[@pedrole7036]

[@gregdevereux3798]

Keep up the good work and be careful! Nice seeing someone wearing safety glasses running a grinder!!

[@hey_brandon]

i love the timelapse you did while cutting the alfalfa... would love to see more timelapse footage of anything, everything you do is so interesting in comparison to my job... wish my work was as satisfying as yours, cheers from Utah!!!

[@bomoonen7453]

nice shots dude. Your getting beter every video

[@dimduk]

Great camera work, loved the shots from the discbine as it was cutting. You put together very interesting videos. I like to see how the farm is managed and how there is very little going to waste.Even your forage crops are spaced out so you always have new forage coming in and the cows get a varied diet. We don't have your brand of chocolate milk here in Minnesota but I always make sure to have a glass of Kemps ready when I start a 10th gen video! You and your family do good work!

[@mchuo7834]

I remember when you bought the new jd, you said you were not going to put that many hours on it. I guess you guys are liking it a lot.

[@tevonlee3077]

Love the video

[@neillouise7533]

Pit empty? Never thought you would run out of manure. Nice picture of the big blue sky after you ran the camera over with the spreader. Thank you for that.

[@vernongibson3910]

How about something of your personal life, like what do yo do on your days off and stuff, Also, would like to see how the milk is loaded and the process after the cows are milked. You are sure a hard worker and I enjoy your videos.
