Please realize this is a working farm. So don’t criticize this family works hard and know what needs to be done. Love this channel.

[@paulreiche2746]

This really does open the whole family and their wonderful love and work ethic up to all kinds of criticisms. They are brave and so forthcoming to share so much of themselves with the world! Just enjoy--- and constructive loving comments only! Buh-bye!

[@tsugima6317]

Not only that, but every farm is unique and does things in the way that works best for them.

[@terilee7629]

They are the 6th generation to farm, I imagine they know what they are doing.

[@ManPete]

Who criticised?

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Some people are mean. Opening up your life.on KZbin carries risks and it is just mean.

[@Purington]

It is so nice to see Callie understanding that you don't dress for the job you have. You dress for the job you want!

Great video Andrew Matthew does a great job with camera. Very smart way to move the bags of dirt. Callie, precious as always

[@terilee7629]

Love Matt.

Always a smile on my face while I’m watching a great family working together and supporting each other.

When you work on a farm you constantly work there's always something to do

[@kathyhoot7277]

Keeping Lauren and the babies in my prayers! I'm so glad you take us on your journey at the farm. Love you guys too pieces,

[@lidip8700]

Ditto!!

[@camillewinnie27]

😊 I loved Callie’s opening today! It’s my favorite part of the intro seeing her say “I’m Callie “ & “and girls!” Such a doll!!

[@lorenstribling6096]

Every time I see you go down those back stairs I hold my breath. They look steep. Glad to see that Callie is taking good care of Daddy. So grown up now.

[@jodidavis6595]

Mathew sure is a natural in front of of the camera. I bet he’d be great at sports announcer. Great voice 👍🏼

[@carolwoodward6141]

I 💕 how you say “buhbye” at the need of each vid. Makes me smile and I reply “buhbye”. Our little secret.

[@cwiii3378]

Cali has that intro down. Nice to see everyone back.

[@SpatialDragon]

You can tell your Dad is my age, he is brilliant. Ha Ha.

[@hazelbrungard1623]

was a genius idea to make all that feed back when the family was going on vacation. Saved Andrew a lot of time and energy. Great idea for next winter too.😊

[@dianayavetz6286]

How smart to come up with a new way to move the soil. Farmers are so resourceful.

[@k.p.1139]

GREAT idea Grandpa Brian. Watching you guys lug those heavy, frozen cubes, last year, made my back hurt! 😃😃

[@carollee6963]

Working smarter not harder is a best practice moving those bags of dirt!

[@lottawork631]

Look at the big Brain on Brian! Lots of people gonna appreciate that trick! Those 3.8 cf bales are akward to handle no matter what conditions are. Nice job Matt!

[@kellyharbaugh9391]

That was 200 IQ, right there!! I'd love to see the date when you film, if that is possible to write into a corner, I think everyone would like that, if it's possible! Lots of love from Romania!

[@canadiannavywife434]

Can someone tell them that there is still a rogue pumpkin under the feed troughs on the side with the pasture cows and bulls....

[@michellepollino4986]

Love watching! You guys got lots of stuff done today. Happy you have some warm weather to work in. Good to see all of your family back together.

[@connieford2122]

Andrew my husband loves your show and would like you to address feeding the cats in the barn a little more 😊😊😊😊

[@josephreagan7183]

We’ve been splitting pallets of beer like that for the 32 years I’ve been with AB.

[@johnslanicky]

Another good video, enjoy seeing the family working together! 👍 Thank you for putting the recorded date in the description

[@amyserra440]

Curious cow 😊

[@lindawoody8501]

Nice haircut Andrew. Nifty about the top tiers of the growing medium bags, guys! Great idea. Callie really has her video dialog down pat. She's a cutie. Prayers for Lauren and your babies to be born Andrew and Lauren and Callie (whole family too).

[@richardtoms9161]

Seeing that New Holland hammer mill really brought back memories. As a young guy just starting out dairying I had a New Hollander mill just like yours. We were milking 60 cows and had a couple of hundred head of hogs. Had to grind 4 loads a week for the cows and 5 loads for the pigs every week. Love your content and God bless your family.

[@terilee7629]

Interesting story, and to think a lot of people working 9 to 5, five days a week complain.

[@chadlewis6197]

We all should have been wearing ear protection those things were loud.

[@michelleharrell8452]

That idea is Super. What a wonderful idea that works.

[@offgridwanabe]

Working smarter and not harder is the answer

[@ellistephens7495]

Really enjoy your videos thank you for sharing your daily activities, the little things you teach us about farming growing vegetables and the beautiful family you also share is amazing.

[@charlottehuffman9748]

Andrew is so gentle with callie. He will make a great dad!

[@carolynrandle5454]

He is called dad.

[@cassiebanks]

Your dad and your brothers are a hoot! Love it when they get control of the camera! 😂 Did we meet a new uncle we haven't seen before or am I just forgetting? I'm going to have to find Joel's genealogy video now because the genealogy hobbyist in me wants to figure out where he goes on the family tree. Farming families are so interesting to me to see where the branches spread out and whether they decide to stay with the agriculture field or go into something else. My father's family were all farmers at the start of the 1900s, but not one of my father's siblings continued in agriculture. Going through the depression left them with pretty bad memories, but the head of their family viewed farming as a way to survive. He wasn't very business-oriented, nor did he show any love for the practice which seems a bit sad to me. Watching how successful your family is at farming kind of heals the wounds left behind that my father's generation lived through (they've all passed on). I have a better understanding of why they made the choices they did as opposed to taking the family land and creating a successful agriculture venture of their own. Each of them made good lives for themselves after leaving the farm they grew up on, but they always had a special place in their heart for the old homestead. One of the girls bought a parcel of the farm that was directly on the water when it was sold and she and her husband moved there after they retired. It's where all the family reunions were held and the final resting place of my father's ashes (he was the youngest) so I know the farm held a special place in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

[@terilee7629]

Love this story. Reminds me of the feeling all my dad's family have for their old home place in West Virginia.

[@carolynrandle5454]

Joel and🎉Andrew are first cousins.

[@adri3681]

Joel’s mom and Andrew’s dad are siblings.

[@cindywarnecke9059]

What a great video. Watch them all but this one had some good laughs. Nice to see you relaxing at the end of the day.

[@robinphillips5284]

I would like to get to know all your farm cats ! A lot of people love cats especially farm cats ! They do a very important job on the farm ! Get rid of rats and varmints !

[@amyserra440]

I like cats too and I grew up on a farm state of NY

[@user-xe5mf3nd6o]

Put a tarp down to catch all the feed dropping into the mud…….that’s a good meal

[@gerryfromaustralia]

I think I know how to run a farm by now after watching your videos Andrew….NOT! Keep up the great work. Love the way the family works so hard together.

[@kayerin5749]

You might think that...because the Ochs make it look easy. It's not. There are years and years of learning, both in education and in passing down knowledge. Along with a lot of hard work, through both the good and lean years and family supporting each other, as I said they make it look easy. There is a lot you don't see. But you are right, they also do a great job of showing the average non farmer what farming entails, something that folks who think that milk comes from a carton haven't experienced.

[@gerryfromaustralia]

Totally agree 👍

[@lynnschantz9185]

@@kayerin5749. You are right on

[@debbienielsen368]

Wish you could ship some potatoes to me in central Arkansas!! Yours look much better than what we have in our stores. And at a better price. Glad Lauren is hanging in there. You’re doing a great job taking care of your girls. Prayers for continued health.

Matthew- great job on your part!

[@colleenkarayiannis8814]

Wow, nearly time to start planting seeds, all such hardworking people

[@azmanmdsalleh2009]

So that's answer my query, on how they provide the chicken feed 😅 it's obvious that they owned, acres of corns in different varieties, acquired several farm machinery and processing their own animal feeds. Same goes to cow feeds too 😊❤

[@patriciaruppert201]

Such an enjoyable video. Your entire family is fantastic. ❤❤❤❤

[@chadlewis6197]

Bucketing grain into the grain crusher reminded me of how we used to do it at my grandparents farm. The whole batch was scooped up by hand with buckets or large shovels. It was great when they got a grain tank with an unloading auger, saved a lot of work. They milked 50 cows and had at least that many fat cattle as well as 40 or so sows farrow to finish that took a lot of grain.

[@calistarlim3242]

Oh that was so exciting watching y’all figure out the dirt shifting. And so funny how it got figured out. I love those little moments when you guys figured things out.

[@pattihusk8181]

I love the new way of splitting up the pallets guys….anything that can lighten everyone’s load is a very good thing😉! Everyone is starting to be able to narrate the videos really well🤗!

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all.

[@sherrylingenfelter8991]

Great idea on the moving of the dirt! It’s so heavy!

[@bradh74]

You guys aren't near me but glad to see that you have a farmers market. Some of these grower supply restaurants and stores at wholesale prices with all the premium stuff (which you got to give them what they want) and many people at the big store are left with foreign foods or large buyers. I don't understand exactly how the business works but know there's a lot more to it than we as consumers think. Maybe a video about that would be good!

[@crystals14acregarden61]

When I worked in a Sears warehouse, we had forklift attachments for picking up appliances, where 2 arms came in from the sides and grabbed them. The pressure was adjustable. Unfortunately I don't remember what the attachments were called. But you could move the top sections of soil with just one person

[@KyleBlair-up1xs]

We vote that Andrew needs to wear a matching princess dress!!

[@beckyp9700]

Thank you for sharing your world. Be safe. See you in the next one.

[@susancarr8998]

Love the ending! So normal and satisfying to see. Thank you for your great videos, everyone!!

[@66bigbuds]

The egg wharehouses store them for 30days before they ship them to the store. Except at easter time when they teaditionaly empty out. People complain when the shells are hard to peel

[@chronos401]

Your idea for removing the top two soil bag layers is brilliant. Great ideas usually emerge after someone repetitively thinks there has to be a better way. We all can start blaming Andrew for why it didn't come to us earlier.

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

It won’t be long you’ll all be planting seeds and moving calves around and equipment out of greenhouses to get greenhouses ready for planting . Can’t wait yo see it all is done . Welcome home everyone glad you all had a wonderful vacation. I know Andrew family plus Grandma stayed on the farm. But everybody is back to work grinding feed setting store up and getting wholesale produces and collecting eggs to sale. Can’t wait to see twin babies come hope soon. Hello Callie the princess for the day cool.

[@slomo1716]

LOVE Matthew great commentator and explainer for what y'all do! My guess is, either Matthew or Daniel or bet it was Grandpa who came up with the idea, to move the top three levels to a new pallet. Great video fellas, and I LOVED seeing Uncle Daniel holding Callie's hand coming into the farm market. Great day of accomplishments! God Bless y'all!!!

Great problem solving with the grow mix! Work smarter, not harder.

[@kevingearhart5141]

Andrew, confident you’ve thought of this; if there truly is excess with the eggs concern, pickle them and sell them in market like you do the kraut, horseradish, etc. I would think there is some great styles in all your heads, especially Grammy’s (awesome) and fly off the shelves. Margin is there too. If I lived in your area, I’d probably be in every other day buying a quart or more. 😃👍

I love your channel! I learn something new every time i watch it. You said something today that gave ma an ‘ah ha’ moment.

Is Callie going to be able to work with the animals when she gets older or is she going to have to stay at the market while the boys work the fields?
