Old school farming - Buffalo power

[@oxennguyen3148]

The water buffalo has the most gentle nature and extremely hard working creator. If God is willing to let me kiss some of them one day.

[@osmanthewoodsman5040]

I live on western anatolia, my grandma tells that water buffalos were common in our town when she was a little kid (around mid 50s) they were pulling carts, working at farms, giving delicious and milk that contains high fat, and their meat was precious too. Now they are not kept as livestock, I didn't ever see one in real life.

[@timwestman9837]

Great videos. My Thai wife thinks I’m nuts when we stop to watch the water buffalo plow outside of Ubon. She tells me I should go fishing so we can have dinner. What a great country. Keep the videos coming.

[@lifeinthailand]

Thanks, I have only seen this twice, lucky to have the camera with me both times.

[@timwestman9837]

I just recently started watching your channel. It’s great, quite relaxing. I’m trying to figure out your accent, may I ask where you are from?

[@thoha8890]

Quê tôi là Tùng Nghiã Vietnam. Watching this video makes think of all the memories I have lost in the past . I used to live in a small rural land where I had a beautiful childhood. Thanks.

[@lifeinthailand]

This is a thing of the past, I have only ever seen it twice in 15 years in Thailand.

[@phaitun]

This thing keeps disappearing from my hometown. I hope more and more people bring it back. It reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for your nice vdo.

[@lifeinthailand]

+Phaitun Mark van Holland This is the only time I have ever seen this, It is becoming a thing of the past. This could be a tourist attraction if it was in the right location.

[@ALayne08]

What a great looking buffalo. If American young people today had to work like that they would die the first day. Most can't even get out of the way fast enough to keep from getting hurt. I'm not talking about all, just most. I know there are hard working young people in America but they are few and far between. It's a ME, ME, ME society now. Thanks for sharing the images of how hard people in other countries have to work.

[@nammie12345]

She must love pulling up at the fresh market with the quad. heard the same about using chang in CM and CR area, but yet to see myself. Thanks for posting the vdo.

[@NonElla]

Beautiful view👍

[@bendavies9046]

Thailand seems so much more interesting then where I live... Thanks for sharing.

[@Punkypoo51]

This is the way my Thai Family use to prepare their Rice Fields. The 'Buffalo Cow' that they used was Dad's favorite. Hook her up and she knew exactly what to do, he only had to 'hold on'! The 'first plot' was normally flooded by hand or pump and planted with rice seed. Then the rest of the fields were plowed. Once the monsoon hit, the flooded fields were planted with transplanted rice from the first plot! Amazing Efficient Simplicity!!

[@mhpgardener]

They sure do make a good team.

[@HowToGrowAGarden]

thats cool!! Thanks for sharing, Scarlett

The Sexy Healthy Lifestyle Diet with Scarlett (Grow food, Eat Raw & Be Vegan) Thank you for watching.

[@TosTinMan]

Cool! Technology is nice but I still enjoy "Old school".

[@lifeinthailand]

Old school is nice to watch but very hard work. In 10 years in the country this is the only time I have seen this.

[@sthier24]

Great video. he was skillful running that plow

[@yousoup7534]

That is very smart buffalo.

[@lifeinthailand]

+you soup She sure knows what she is doing, There is a very good chance I well never see this again, This might have been a once in a lifetime find.

[@ilikepnt6352]

😀😀😍😍😍

[@RobsAquaponics]

Would love to have a shot at doing that one day.. Cheaper than diesel ;) Cheers

[@Showoneview]

looks to be a nice place, is a good video thanks for sharing

[@kaidenhang908]

All you Americans must be using your newly-fangled tractors to plow your fields but we play our fields to good old-fashioned way with an ox or water buffalo

[@bangalorebobbel]

cool ;-) Here it's still very common - water buffaloes or cows. The fields are often very small, and/or don't have access to roads - so they use their animals to pull the plow.

[@thebaldchef14]

You never know what your going to see here around here, boy that is too true. Spent some time in one of the happiest countries in the world Thailand!

[@lifeinthailand]

I always carry my camera with me because you never know what is waiting around the next corner, Might even be a buffalo plowing a field...lol

[@thebaldchef14]

I wish I had a real camera back then. I have a few shots. Planed to go to back to Thailand this month but I guess it will not happen. Last time I was there was in 94' and 74'. I wonder what it is like now!

[@lifeinthailand]

You seem to have a 20 year thing going on. There well be lots of changes for sure but some things never change especially in the rural areas.

[@thebaldchef14]

I have found this true in other Asian countries that I have visited in the last few years and I am sure it is the same in Thailand!

[@livesoccerstream4125]

Its true actually I saw that too really cool thing to see

[@painchaud2000]

Cool and it doesn't need gas ;)

[@lifeinthailand]

And adds fertilizer as it goes, I would call that a "win win"

[@painchaud2000]

Another pros...it can work to grow it's fuel :)

[@lifeinthailand]

lol, That is true.

[@oldhippie1946]

Great video ! Real life ! Nice people !!!!

[@eduardasaavedramorales703]

Y5 fgg

[@carlosayala6754]

Very strong water buffalo, he is doing a great job, but i think he needs a better draft harness.

[@lifeinthailand]

It is getting the job done and probably not used very often, but the buffalo knew what to do.

[@carlosayala6754]

lifeinthailand absolutely

[@mmmm5201]

good

[@nammie12345]

Nice vid, thanks for posting it. They do that a lot around my place in Udon, lots of small farms but can never be there to see it. hey oit is not that slow, if you only have 2-5 rai it looks like it works just fine. Still have the Polaris?

[@Top10-c6u8k]

nice video

[@lifeinthailand]

Thanks.

[@milzijex7340]

wondrous buffalo, beautiful

[@lifeinthailand]

This is very old style farming for sure, and a beautiful animal.

[@Miss_Judy]

oh yes I watched this one... so very cool

[@lifeinthailand]

It was a lucky find, have only seen it once.

[@Miss_Judy]

thats amazing

[@LandersWorkshop]

They still do it this way in USA too, the Amish are masters at it, using draft horses, the whole village joins in etc.

[@lifeinthailand]

+Watch Ryder The Amish do it right on most things for sure, Never get the entire village to help you do anything anywhere anymore, Not without some kind of payment anyway.

[@originaldeftom]

Holy animal! Low carbon footprint! Gives milk, livestock, meat, leather, horn, etc plus being a loyal friend. We owe everything to the cow/buffalo.

[@lifeinthailand]

The buffalo is the work horse of Thailand, or was, this is the only time I have ever seen this, not very popular anymore.

[@جاسمالطائي-ذ5و]

خخ9خجض+lifeinthailand @ ضق

[@CaptJohnsBar]

Smart animal...Amazing !

[@ttitanic121]

The ground looks pretty moist...planting rice? I wonder if that's his field or they've been hired?

[@bangalorebobbel]

still same. On bigger field they use meanwhile different kind of machines, but smaller fields are usually always done by cows or buffaloes and the traditional plows behind. It's also much cheaper for the farmers - they don't have to pay for machines and fuel etc., and the traditional tools are even supplied at low costs through government agencies.

[@aftabrasool7001]

Very beautiful

[@lifeinthailand]

Indeed.

[@davedrewett2196]

he makes it look easy but I bet its not easy to keep the plow straight like that.

[@madisonelectronic]

The buffalo has incentive, cause people DO like beef and we sure as hell are not in India.

[@lifeinthailand]

This was how it was done years ago, but not anymore.

[@edberry8568]

pretty straight rows.

[@lifeinthailand]

A very well trained buffalo and nearly a thing of the past, For good reason but it was still nice to see, A good find for sure.

[@camilojazzfernandes]

hahaha ... that's a spook ... do you notice the strings ... the buffalo is just a puppet ... that's how you control em ... hahaha

[@rknu1856]

excellent

[@lifeinthailand]

Thanks!

[@ksankarsankar9649]

Nice

[@lifeinthailand]

Thanks.

[@coinhandler61]

Whats with the red scarf? I have an idea but its not for dust from the cow..lol

[@nanayaya2010]

so nice thanks

[@huyhanluong2139]

Quê hương thấy đẹp hiền hòa....

[@basantvimalsharma3402]

two Buffalo or Bullock's at the same time pulling the plow gives less stress on a single one two xan work longer

[@lifeinthailand]

2 is always better than 1, But I'm sure the animal is not overworked.

[@davedrewett2196]

the buffalo's tracking with GPS lol

[@adamel-yousseph4272]

The bhains’ genus name Bubalus is Medieval Latin for bhains while its species name arnee is from arni, which is Hindi for arna, and its species name bubalis is the dative and ablative plural form of bubalus. By arna, I mean the wild Asian “buffalo” and it is what that bovid is called in Hindi. By bhains, I mean the domestic Asian “buffalo” and it is what bovid is called in Hindi. Bubalis is also a throwback to its first scientific name Bos bubalis. Can you believe all of that?

[@jorgegallegos7957]

"chulada" de animal, hasta parece que disfruta lo que hace, felicitaciones para aquél le enseñó a realizar su labor.

[@BigMikeD10001]

wow

[@naturewatcher7596]

So, why to use a tractor, if a bull does the plowing just fine plus its food is renewable and in many places free, and its manure fertilizes the ground? No parts to buy, no poisonous stuff to deal with, no gas necessary. It's a shame that people just loosing their old sustainable traditions in the pursue of the more 'civilized' lifestyle,

[@lifeinthailand]

The why is simple, faster and easier, that doesn't make it the best way forward but that is the way we're going.

[@basu.govankoppa2588]

super

[@lifeinthailand]

Thanks

[@laxmannepali8768]

God job

[@lifeinthailand]

Thanks.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Think you could be right :/

[@rodney12310]

Its doing the job.....but its slow going!!!!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Low carbon footprint......maybe a bit methane.

[@BUNNYBUTT1984]

That is oxen

[@lifeinthailand]

Sorry but your wrong, There buffalo, Know as water buffalo by most people.

[@yaganata2010]

yeah... my wife said they owned a lot of "kwai" (buffalos) before but no has been abandoned for reasons of effectivness.. kwai leg ;) but it is not so smart as the driver is not skilled

[@venkataramudu3631]
