Pouring Manure Pit Floor

[@lindavonh131]

Glad your sharing never knew how the pits and barn were built.

[@michaelanderson7715]

you're

[@ryanwaege7251]

Thanks for taking the time to bring us along! Building is looking beautiful so far. The future is looking bright for the 11th Gen!

[@robynmorris2408]

With the rebar walls in place my first thought was manure “jail”. Great drone coverage. Congrats on getting the stalls sold! This has been a fascinating project to follow. Thank you so much for taking us along, much appreciated.

[@chollettgarrett]

This was really cool and interesting. Always amazes me that farmers have to be accountants, mechanics, engineers, construction workers, on top of crop growing and animal care. Not to mention going to church, being at your kids parent teacher conferences, athletic events or dance recitals, going to the grocery store. Idk did I miss anything else? Oh yeah! Managing a darn KZbin channel! This young man is impressive! Keep up these great videos

[@MrTefe]

yeah and he posts so much videos here.

[@marleneboyd7754]

Awesome Eric! My Dad is finally following you on KZbin. He grew up on a dairy farm.

[@koryleague8833]

This is exciting to see. Glad to see a family dairy thriving and expanding

[@lindenbergers]

So cool to watch this all come together. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

[@llamasmrf]

Thank you so much for showing the entire process. I have wondered what the pit under the barns looks like and how it is created. You have done your usual awesome job of capturing video of it all.

[@jeffreyworth6860]

Awesome video eric , that drone footage was the best, thanks for being a farmer

[@nickbosler7198]

When I worked for my uncle doing concrete, we always used diesel as a release agent to get form off, I’m sure it’s different everywhere you go, thanks for the video, love seeing pits get made

[@damoncoates395]

The drone footage is always fun to watch.

Keep up the good work Eric! Been following you for close to 2 years. Just been lurking. Have a good week!

Wow, construction mixed with dairy farming! I’m in heaven, as it were. Great job Eric, I always watch your videos soon after you release them.

Awesome Eric. Love that yall are able to make the farm better.

[@mikes9887]

Hi Eric this is Mike and Sherrill from Arizona. Just wanted to let you know we are really enjoying watching you guys build your new barn. We don’t get to see that too much and I find it very interesting. Keep up the great work have a great day.

looking good Eric. Thank you for doing this for us.AWESOME

[@hooverfeedofficial1494]

Thanks for the update on the new build....... right now I’m in the process of a time lapse of a commodity hoop barn going up which will be out soon..... I realize all the work that goes into making your vids and just appreciate them so much good job Eric

[@pennybaxter7009]

Awesome to see this. Understanding the manur pits in and outside of barn better.

[@steveadams99708]

It is so great that you bring us along every day on this construction project Eric. I know it is a lot of extra time and effort for you to do this, and I really appreciate it!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hello Eric. Thanks for explaining this pit build and also using the drone footage. Have a blessed day.

[@obviousness8113]

I'm glad to see the upgrades! I've watched every single one of your videos and it's awesome to see y'all progress over time.

[@susananderson618]

WOW this is fascinating....the modern day farm expensive to build. Thanks for sharing this with us, even more respect for all that you put into farming.

[@larrycroft470]

i can tell by the way the girls act/react, the expression on their faces and the things they say to each other that they are so very thankful they live on your farm. They really are the happiest cows on the internet!

[@reidumphrey1980]

They truly are some happy girls no doubt. Some of the other you tubers not so much on cow comfort. Tye stalls are disgusting for sure.

[@ethanringelberg9771]

@@reidumphrey1980 tie stall barns are nice for the cows because the feed is right in-front of them and they can lie down and eat not saying they are the best set up but you have to realize that there are pros and cons to everything as well as cost most tie stalls are older barns not everyone has the money to build new.

[@bobthebuilder5779]

@@reidumphrey1980 statically tie stall cows live longer. So both work fine 👌

[@dougdiplacido2406]

The floor looks like a runway. You can land the drone on it lol. I really love being able to watch your project evolve. Thanks so much for taking the time to share it. Quite an amazing amount of reinforcement in the walls and floor. Looking forward to the next one Eric. Peace for now.

[@stevemilam466]

Man that’s going to be really nice!! Outstanding job with the drone. Thanks for taking the time to video and explain everything going on. So inspirational and such an awesome amazing job.

[@kitcarr3159]

You could never realize how VERY MUCH I look forward to your videos! Thanks!

[@emmaleamcelhinney8650]

Awesome video as always Eric! You’ll have to make a video on how you chose your contractors, and decisions you’ve had to make along the way.

[@craigwadey2122]

So nice seeing progress , these videos are appreciated

[@speedbrake22]

These guys work real hard, like you do. Awesome footage!

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

This is interesting, watching this come together. Gonna love watching this entire barn built.

[@wbmr3863]

Succes Eric! Very interesting to follow. Greeting from a Dutch dairyman 🤗

[@ZekenStreak]

Awesome vid bud. I look fwd to seeing each vid & seeing the construction progress. Exciting times on the farm!!! Take care & stay safe. Cheers

[@johnl.vantreeck3636]

Hello from Northeastern Wisconsin; In 1976 when we added our milking parlor we put in 70,000 gallon slanted floor pit under the holding area. To get our permit, the floor has rebar, not wire and the sides have heavier rebar than yours does. The property has been annexed into the city, so to clean up the property I have to figure out and pay to get it removed. I hope scrap iron price keeps rising, there’s a few ton of iron in there. (That slanted floor holding area was one of our better ideas dairy farming).

[@lindascott2107]

Eric what a great job filming you just get better, love being able to see your build & recycling your cow stuff & think of all the folks got some work congratulations

[@reidumphrey1980]

Another great video. Looks like yall have a $1M barn going there at least. I had no idea there was that much involved in building a manure pit. Very impressive.

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

No about 250k

[@makingithappen5178]

Good morning sir. I call you sir, even though I'm about 40 years older. You work and plan as a man with a lifetime of experience. You will keep this farm in top condition.

[@PAfarmboy]

Thanks for showing this Eric. I've always wondered how they were built.

[@jodyemmerson3446]

Looking Good! I work up in Ontario, Canada and this brings me back to when I was an apprentice crane operator, I work with a company that has concrete pumps and cranes. when I was an apprentice I built a lot of barns and pits... always a relaxing crew and learned a lot about dairy farming along the way. Times have changed, I'm with the same company and instead of building barns in the country, I'm stuck building condos in the city... lol. love the vids man! I'm leasing 5 acres this year off a family friend and dipping my feet into the agriculture world! =D

[@ronhooks1123]

So impressive!! This man knows what he is talking about. Thanks for sharing your videos. Peace from SW Florida 🤗🤗!!!

[@carriebrumley8926]

First of all, thanks for saying ‘manure’, instead of other, more gross sounding terms!! Makes you sound more educated and refined. Second, this was a super interesting vid. Really shows us the ‘guts’ of what you guys do to keep your businesses running efficiently. Would love to see more of your daughter and wife.
