No Gasoline Farmer!

[@johnrenterprises2604]

Thanks for this story. I would think of this guy as the type of neighbor you would be blessed to have. Not many people these days would stop what they are doing to talk to a stranger like this.

[@frankbrown9618]

Interesting video. Animal traction is becoming more and more popular among the youngest farmers here in Italy. It allows no emission agricolture and a far better working experience. This is a great option for small farms with high quality organic productions.

[@martinlayne714]

I really like the idea of that type of farming. Instead of dying off we should be doing more of it!

[@JohnDoe-wb4iv]

This and canning cooking home economics needs to be taught in school as well as animinal husbandry

[@joansalohamassage3262]

This video made my day! Thanks for sharing farming with horses. We are wanting to get drafts again and work them on our small farm here in eastern WA. Have a super day.

[@jeffbingaman2754]

5:55 look at that cut where those horses are standing. Smooth

[@juliegoodge2680]

Wonderful I hope he is still going well 👍

[@fixintoo7194]

It is so good to still see others doing this. Folks will soon have to get back to Basics. He is right soon we need to figure out how to do things for less cost. Jack keep up the work teach someone younger to do what you do.

[@deerhunter7482]

if you look up man in the dictionary his picture would be next to the definition!

[@robertocorradi6318]

Very interesting ............ What a gentleman ...... Real Farming .....

[@T289c]

Another good thing about using animals instead of gas powered machines is the soil gets fertilized. The farmers in Transylvania have noticed a fertility change when switching from Horse to Tractor.

[@veefriend4201]

Why in the heck would anyone give a thumbs down on something like this.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

John Deere probably.

[@gingercox6468]

That's the way Amish farmers farm. They use greenhouses as inexpensive shelter. They use them for hanging tobacco. Store equipment, strip tobacco and bale it. One time they had church in it. The ones used as greenhouses are plentiful too. The mower, baler and picker have gas engines. Generator for the grain elevator . Diesel for milking, runs all the cooling stuff. But the milk is put in these big stainless buckets. The cows get milked one at a time. Propane runs lights, stove and furnace some use coal or wood, they say coal holds the heat longer.

MORE AMERICANS SHOULD THINK LIKE THIS MAN

[@johnboykin1262]

He's right. My grandfather in Tenn. had four matched teams and men to work them prior to WW2. The men went to war. Grand dad sold the horses and the farm to the Mennonites.

[@tozobozo4142]

He's got one of those new modern horsedrawn mowers, slick! Mine are circa 1948 like the other one in the clip here. This is the true sustainable ag, the ag involving horsepower. The minute the tractor was introduced, any chance at sustainabilty left the building and it's been an escalation of destruction ever since. When you hear a modern industrial machinery operated farmer talking about his "sustainability" you know you're having smoke blown up your fundament, hard.

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

Very cool love this stuff!Would love to see some farming with oxen also.

[@carlosayala6754]

Amazing, Best way to take care the planet.

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

Very cool vid thanks for sharing.So sad the old ways are going away.

[@dadroid1514]

I enjoyed that and found it very interesting. Thank you

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

Me too.

[@fr_greywolf.]

I love this type of Farming and I love these kind of machine without gasoline I'm from India watching this video.

[@dennishein2812]

I enjoy watching teams work.

[@UtahStories]

It was mesmerizing to watch. We stayed for about 90 minutes till they finished the entire field.

[@cowpoke02]

smart . you could run small property and garden . mini horse stable . then do side work like this . one double mower be enough or 2 3 teams like this . great stuff . solar double mower and a team be beating tractors and cheap . smart . quiet .

[@ronniesullivan7104]

What Great Story Animal, Land & Man. Thanks

[@JohnDoe-wb4iv]

My dad kept 6 kids and 2adults alive for 2 years mostly by himself at age of 12w a horse and plow barefoot a real man John Wayne type I'm not good enough to be his son but I'm very proud of it and it and his dna keeps me going thank u utube dad and Jesus and my future wife peaches

[@carlosmontana8840]

I do this in Missouri everyone wants to know why ? I like to. Simple , I can fix damn near anything on the mower with a 3/4 inch wrench.

[@beelinekhan460]

love it! how i grew up in Austria 😍now in fashion again to work with draft horses on the field and in the forest. we use noriker horses

[@RA-sz5tu]

I live an hr away from Gap Pa. & they do bale with teams, baler has a gasoline motor on it usually New Holland balers both towns in Lancaster Co.

[@freecheese4143]

Wow! Incredible amount of knowledge!

[@thomasglasscock2570]

Good Vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@trentszeponski3456]

This is great, I saw that kind of old Horse powered mower at my uncles farm. I can build a design based on that.

[@myfriendoretheshepherd6618]

Irma & Jake are from amish country!

[@CHRISTYMCGRADY]

Horses have better personalities than most tractors haha. Love this way of farming. Id love to give this a try one day to have the experience. Who knows maybe i’ll buy this and cut my own hay.

[@qualqui]

This guy's AWESOME! And the horses are beautiful, working hard and when they want, they'll snack on some fresh hay! :)

[@claudiaschiel2232]

Das ist das Richtige. So sollte man leben. Das ist die natürliche Zeit für Menschen. Zurück zur Langsamkeit

[@karldawnlang8936]

Awesome story!

[@claudiaschiel2232]

I want to live like that

[@Guillaume_F]

me too

[@thecurrentmoment]

8.15 that horse is getting some unfinished hay while they can, just like a kid eating cake mix while it's still being made

[@horsejumpride8423]

I guess I'll have to wait until I get to heaven to enjoy this kind of life.

[@pamelahomeyer748]

Great job

[@whittsendranch]

Great story!

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

Fairplay to you Man.

[@donnarhea8635]

I feel this ask them to many questions, company name, first and lastname, phone, to much

[@garysisk3431]

I agree

[@jimanderson7648]

good crop of hay

[@Staki6908]

Harrison Fords Brother? Must be. Man's living the dream.

[@janinewetzler5037]

I believe in Appalachia, horse teams or Persheron Mule teams are used more and more now. At least for new homesteaders whom want to learn the old work techniques and save on diesel machinery.

[@marchindy]

That was neat, thanks.

[@alanlabar7722]

BINGO ! Truth, may we all listen. Thank you for this video.

[@watchful1168]

I LOVE that old guy!!!

[@plainspeaker4835]

Totally awesome

[@randallcrane2704]

Good video thanks

[@crazyhorseranchaz]

COULD BE A GOOD THING TO DO IT OLD SCHOOL WAYS. PRICES WOULD COME DOWN, ON EVERY THING. HORSE CAN DO JUST AS FAST AS A TRACTER. GROW YOUR OWN HAY AND HAVE FREE FOOD FOR THEM. RIGHT NOW MACHINERY IS PROBABLY A LITTLE HARD TO COME BY, BUT STILL AROUND FROM TIMES WHEN EVERY ONE USED THEM. HORSES HAVE BEEN A LITTLE EXPENSIVE SINCE THE KILLERS STARTED BUYING THEM AND SELLING THE MEAT TO PLACES LIKE FRANCE AND ENGLAND. I HATE THE KILLERS. HERE IN ARIZONA WE PROTEST KILLERS AND TRY HARD NOT TO LET THEM BUY. 👍✝️🙏🤠

[@TechSphere24-b3q]

A horse actually produces more CO2 then a car/tractor! But at least it doesn't produce any fine dust and lets not talk about the manufacturing impact of tractors!

[@savedfaves]

It’s cheaper this way and the horses poo along the way to add organic matter to improve the soil.

[@mamaduck6845]

Do you know anyone in upstate NY who teaches this?

[@davegongwer106]

these folks are really nice folks and do we end up with? undocumented immigrants what a choice

[@crazyhorseranchaz]

Think OF THE PRESSURE RELEASE A MAN WOULD HAVE NOT MAKING A TRACTER PAYMENT EVERY MONTH FOR YEARS AND THEN HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER WHEN IT IS WORN OUT. AND THE EQUIPMENT THAT TRACTOR HAS TO PULL. FARMER HAS NO OR AT LEAST LITTLE WORRY DOING IT THE WAY THIS FAMILY HAS BEEN DOING FOR 72 YEARS.

[@8901WCTENNESSEE]

That's what you do about grass what about hay? Without gas, oil, & power of any kind? This is for the no gas, farmers!

[@dennispfeifer7788]

I just stopped my car when I saw you...interviewer is a city boy for sure...good intentions but kinda slow witted...or just not up to speed on prices of land, equipment, and commodities, taxes...but, at least he put the video online for the world to see...that is a good thing.

[@willbass2869]

Intrusive as hell asking for phone/website. Anybody in local area who wants grass mowed knows Jack. Not as if dimwits in SLC are going to call Wyoming to have their 5 AC "ranchette" mowed. Idiot media.

[@crazyhorseranchaz]

LOVE HORSEMEN

[@thomaskroes4776]

Not 20 thousand but 40 thousand you could do 125 acres If you work long hours

[@olddave4833]

at 8:28 horse stole some hay from the other

[@duett445]

Jack Malmberg same as my family name a Swedish name.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Case 930 & a NH488 9' haybine 50 acres aday i could do. Thats less than 20000...

[@marv5604]

When horses left the farms, so didn't the profits.

[@UtahStories]

That's about right. I've recently learned that in the 1920s big banks started offering cheap loans to farmers to buy tractors, implements and fertilizers. Then when the Great Depression hit many farms could no longer pay on their loans and their farms were taken. (Reading an interesting book now called The Creature from Jekyll Island)

[@marv5604]

@@UtahStories Prior to the 20's the farms were far more diversified, profitable and independent. Everything that a family needed came from the farm. When the tractor and implements were first introduced, farmers could see the potential backlash from going into debt to buy something that they didn't really need and let alone pay interest for it. This was around the same time that USDA began pushing "specialization" farming over general farming. This was also when the banks started plotting to move us away from money backed by gold toward money backed by debt. That began the whole downfall of the family farm. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but this is how history played out. The money that we have in our pocket is someone's debt.

[@willbass2869]

Back in early days of mechanization, some of the local tractor dealerships would cut their price if you brought your team in "for trade". ......yeah right, "for trade". Those teams went to slaughter the next day thus eliminating a competitor.

[@johnneedy3164]

Self fertilizer, while cutting 😌

[@HankTheTank23]

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but it just seems cruel and unfair to the horses to force them to perform arduous labor practically year-round when you have a diesel powered tractor as an alternative.

[@phillipff9923]

Yeah it's better to have nothing for them to do so they get sent off to slaughter in Canada or Mexico.🙄 You think people will spend $ to feed a large animal who has no work?

[@sanniepstein4835]

Work is not abuse. A fit athlete doing the work it was bred to do is not suffering. Talk to a logger or hockey player someday, ask him if he'd rather be sitting in a box doing nothing. There are millions who left farming, which is a real slog, not because of the effort, which they enjoyed, but because they couldn't make it pay. People who've spent their lives in enforced idleness just don't get this.

[@carlosmontana8840]

I can tell you this that those horses aren't putting those square bales in the barn. That 72 year old man is .
