In 1965 we started out with 20 dairy cows and 80 acres,we now are up to 500 dairy cows,700 head of beef cattle,and 35,000 acres of land I hope everything goes well for you awesome video

[@ryleejohnson4137]

The best way I've found for taking out barbed wire fencing is just to wrap a chain around each post individually and hook it up to a loader and lift straight up with the wire still on it and then once the whole fence is out start rolling the posts and wire together like you would chicken wiring, thats what ive always done abd its always worked pretty well!

[@kylenorris6885]

Truly inspiring man. I’m a 6th generation farmer myself and have always wanted to start a KZbin channel and now I want to more than ever. Cannot wait to see how your career unfolds I’ll be watching.

[@tomlines7181]

It’s great to see a young farmer like yourself getting started. I’m as old as your dad is and wish I could have gotten started back in the 80’s. Keep the videos coming. Good luck in your future endeavors.

[@Kpwns242]

I'm excited to see what you all have planned for your new farming adventures. Keep up the great work.

[@bruceruhl2879]

Keep the videos coming!!! Love your adventure!

[@mightymax8150]

I’m a boomer. You give me hope the country will be in good hands after my generation is gone. I wish you much success.

[@gregjames5070]

Your generation is what ruined this country!!!!

[@rau123]

It's great seeing your plans coming together!

[@tx-okfarmer]

I vote for building your own monitoring system! The sensors and input modules aren't that expensive, and you can run it with a Raspberry Pi and Node-RED. You could even hook it into the scale! That could be several videos worth of content. 😁

[@jamesmarsh4957]

like now we getting some idea of of where you going and what you using for storage , must be so exciting for you , going to take a bit of a clean up on the bin site , a few hours there will make a big difference , and this time of year you have time to do it , really looking forward to see how it goes 😀

[@ИванЛютый-ъ9к]

Cool plan dude!!💪🏻

[@billcampbell2943]

Good to see u making use of what is available

[@AMJDG]

There are about 50 videos on youtube that I found on how to effectively and efficiently remove a barbed wire fence. Your new farm operation looks pretty good. Good luck on getting it up and working...

[@steveneal2706]

Amazing video guys. Thank you

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Thanks for this one Carson! I was hoping you would show us your new farm! (and whatever buildings/bin site you will be using) It's a smart strategy to use unused local assets, esp. even if family. Any leg-up you can get is wise to use, since you come by it honestly. You also helped to build your Dad and brother's place. One hand washes the other. I'm really happy to see you succeeding, and I hope things go your way as often as needed! You're smart, and hard-working, and you will keep helping your family too, I have no doubt. Much obliged you share so much with us!

[@kevinkevlar8050]

Happy Farming

[@benpower5599]

Great video, excited to see your journey

[@browntownfarms5652]

Excited to see the new planter!

[@hoophil]

Hi Carson! Have always loved your videos and sure hope things go well for you. It's so exciting to see you going off on your own. Hey, talk to Cole at Sonne Farms, Cole and his dad take down and have replace a lot of barbed wire fence. Cole made a barbed wire winder for his skid-steer, and it looks like it works great! Maybe you could get him to come and help you! Stay safe and healthy out there!

[@airsofttanuki4731]

Heya, just found your channel and watched your latest videos. Instantly subscribed and im burning to see your farm and you as an individual develop! Hope to see some awesome stuff in the future! Good luck from Austria!

[@6thGenFarmer]

Thanks for joining! Hope to keep seeing your comments

[@TMacTx]

Enjoyed learning about your family. My family's roots in farming have nearly come to a close after immigrating from Alsace in the 1800s, and I consider myself a first generation non-farmer. I didn't have the exposure that my mother had in the 30s and 40s. I think she was all too happy to find herself a new life outside of farming (farm got split up between her brothers), but she had her cherished memories, like when she rode her horse to school a few times.

[@King_Randy]

Lookin’ good!

[@markkallstrom7398]

It’s November 21 here in Ephrata Washington . We’ve had a dusting of snow but lots of rain . Wow it’s only 4 months before we plant early sweet corn

[@jarodjgaming5036]

Bro new to your channel but I am glad I am watching you now.

[@6thGenFarmer]

Welcome aboard!

[@maxtrein532]

I'm a third generation Dutch farmer. Only third generation because our family farm was completely destroyed during ww2. My grandparents started a new farm in 1946. Like to see you start your own business. Wish you the best and God bless !!

[@garrettlake2740]

Nice setup!

[@TheIastfan112]

Actually going to 12:55 if you have a hot dry year for corn being bordered by soybeans can also hurt yield. Edges of corn field, particularly south and west sides, get dried out by hot winds causing reduced yield if you don't have enough moisture + short crop(soybeans) or a road.

[@6thGenFarmer]

Good to know! Thank you

[@byronkinsinger9792]

Carson I would check with Soil and Water at FSA office before removing fences or trees just cover yourself good luck and I enjoy following you new farming adventures. Byron

[@EverettDurheim]

I know about where you farm, i grew up near St. James, MN. hope you have great year.

[@grant2122]

Nice

[@6thGenFarmer]

Thanks

[@grant2122]

​@6thGenFarmer your welcome I saw the vidieo of the cat track tractor and the side by side I hope the best for you and your farm.

[@МармеладЦелюлитный]

Удачи тебе дружище 👍

[@Timsmith-q3y]

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by not taking what your dad is willing to help you with. Remember they probably owe the bank less than you do. When you have your own children you will understand your dad more. Baby steps is not always a bad thing.Food for through, an arrangement like Eric with Larson Farms has with the Larsons might work well for you at this point in your endeavor. I truly want you to be successful in making your dream come true.

[@thomasbritten7216]

I agree with the guy who said remove the wires from fence, roll all the wires together by hand, then use skid loader to load the wire rolls on trailer and pluck the posts from the ground. Set the posts directly on a trailer and you never have to touch them in the field. My brother and I have done a lot of fence this way

[@FarmingIH88]

I’m in the process of buying 300 acres, turn key operation I’m taking over from a retiring farmer of 65 years, I’m 23 will be 25 when I purchase farm, I always wonder if there’s anymore out there doing the same and I’m happy to see there is, happy farming

[@ronniegoswick7081]

Best of luck, but remember the harder you work the better your luck!

[@DavidHines-wn5gf]

Congrats on your new endeavor! Check with Cole the Cornstar or Cole Sonne, Sonne Farms, the do a lot of fence stuff.

[@_lucas_1k_]

That’s a sweet set up for a first year farmer

[@6thGenFarmer]

Thank you! I’m just blessed to have the support that not many young farmers get

[@joshuawendell1529]

I've removed a lot of miles of barbed wire fence. I remove wires from post and lay them flat (assuming they're mostly intact). I roll the wire by hand. Make a big initial loop of wire that's about waist high at top. Then just start rolling it up. You can get a roller but need to find one that spool splits to get wire off. For only half mile be easy to remove by hand unless wire is really tangled in weeds. If it is in weeds you maybe can pull it into field with UTV then roll.

[@6thGenFarmer]

Thanks for the input!

[@duanebolen543]

Well you have the experience that some farmers dont have . You have ideas an are taking things slow an see how it planes out for you an the help from your family helps a lot . Just be safe but have a great time To many want to spend money an then price drop an bills need to be payed an no money

[@calebrozeboom]

You farming on the better side of the border?😂😂

[@bladewiper]

I have done a few fences. Pull the posts with the wire attached and lay on the ground. I scooped it up with a loader tractor with forks, then cut the wire when the forks were full. But for you, I would try to use your dads excavator to scoop it up.

[@MatthiasSchulenburg]

Great to see the new adventure come along. You going to do it all alone? Or hire part/full time support?

[@jtn-minn8105]

Filling old bins is the easy part, 95% of the problems are worn out unload equipment on old bins;)

[@TriDaddy]

Hook up that survey equipment for Dad! Take good care of him with a heated cab, Friend! Anything and everything he asks- because he’ll do the same;)

[@6thGenFarmer]

If I wasn't waiting for my gps mounts in the mail right now I would. If the mounts arrive before he needs it I will get it setup. However, I believe he needs to survey before the mounts come in. But trust me, he has already been using it when I am not around :)

[@TriDaddy]

@@6thGenFarmer Exciting times for everyone! Keep the good energy going!

[@peytonmann11]

I’m sure there’s a 5 min video on how to take barbwire down, but I do remember, roll the wire TIGHT

[@targco]

Get in touch with Sonne farms for fence, he’s a well experienced fencer. Built a nice spooler for skid steer

[@WyffelsHybrids]

Congrats on the new adventure! We're excited to follow along. 🌽

[@gatorguy7711]

Good luck with your new farm business! Take care and be safe...

[@ryanmoeller9609]

Mini excavator with a thumb would work great for removing fence, just keep plucking and piling everything up!

[@grantk8273]

Would highly reccomend a custom trucker to do it while you get on your feet

[@MatthiasSchulenburg]

About the lone row of trees: I know it not fun to farm around, but isn’t it a nice habitat for all kinds of animals pollinating your fields? Maybe set up some bees there? Furthermore, trees are always good against erosion.

[@mr.rubber_duck]

I know cole the cornstar was ripping out fences a while ago mabey you could go back and watch his videos

[@jerrylong3580]

That bunch of trees will make a nice hunting spot. If your into that?

[@5850terry]

Sonne Farms had a way of rolling up the barbed wire.

[@robm3063]

I would bet those trees were for livestock at one time.

[@6thGenFarmer]

After making the video I was told that they were for sheep at one point

[@robm3063]

@6thGenFarmer 👍

[@huntinandscrappin306]

Why are you leaving your family ?

[@bossikofarms6504]

Sounds like you should be thankful your family is helping you with your start. They are the reason you have this great opportunity. Good luck

[@6thGenFarmer]

I am extremely grateful for how much they are supporting me as I get started! Giving me a bit of a head start for sure

[@dougblasberg8244]

Keep you grain separate. And get those trees cut down.

[@andreasplayinggames9838]

Dont you watch the video its the first Thing he said

[@paulmccallum4229]

Cole the Cornstar has a video where they used a tree puller on their skidsteer to pull the fence posts, lay the fence flat on the ground and then rolled it up.

[@ethanlee9441]

Let me know if your still in business next year.

[@patrickhayes420]

So are you going to buy the old planter or are you going to buy a 16 row planter

[@6thGenFarmer]

I have already bought a Planter, it’s not the old 24 row. That is a bit outside my budget. Don’t wanna spoil too much but it is a 12 row

[@patrickhayes420]

@6thGenFarmer like the grants 12 row.

[@Justin-e2h]

Well, if you’re starting your own farm, I think that’s a first generation and not farming your daddy or grandpa’s ground

[@billupstateny9151]

Honestly, you are still farming dependent upon the family. This channel is not comparable to Grant, a true "startUp" farmer.🚜

[@chipmunk94]

Grant is also pretty wealthy on his own.

[@6thGenFarmer]

I’m not going to disagree with you. I’m utilizing resources from my family because they’re sitting there not being used. I’m pretty good friends with Grant and I would consider him a true startup farmer. However, Grant even fully admits that at his scale, farming is not making much money. In his last video, he explained that he was able to purchase his new tractor from outside assets. I’m in a very similar boat. The farm at the scale that I’m at will not be making money. So I need to utilize every resources I have in order to survive. Because at this point in my career, it’s about survival.

[@gregjames5070]

Grant had money before farming.

[@ihguy2113]

well it is a 6th gen farm its been paid 6 times over if he started from nothing never would happen at all

[@billupstateny9151]

@ gregjames, exactly the point. Starting a farming operation today is near impossible without previous wealth. The real issue is that crop $ production may offer survival but will not offset debt. Current conditions which could change in a new administration.

[@DuckFarms]

So are you now “1st gen farmer”?

[@6thGenFarmer]

Well I mean, depends on how you look at it😂
