[@MarkSmith-xi8ii]

Sorry for so many comments...My son (28) told me the other day " I'm so glad that I grew up on a farm with you Dad, because I learned so many life skills that I use almost everyday". I had him backing wagons/trailers in the back pasture when he was 9 and when he became a long haul trucker 4 yrs ago his instructor had him teach 1/2 the class in backing up...WOW that makes a dad proud !!

[@brenttannas3037]

Best day of my life on the farm was teaching my son to weld. He learned to do it so well he now refers to my welding as Ray Charles welding. I am a mechanic by trade and when he was three he crawled under the spring horse ( old Snort) with two kitchen knives. I asked him what he was up to and he said I’m fixing this horse. I said to my wife, looks like he will be a mechanic like his dad. Wow was I wrong! After high school he spent seven years in university in Budapest Hungary to become a veterinary doctor! He is now home in Alberta practicing and is in the process of taking over the farm. My daughter always helped on the farm and she was really mechanically inclined and cut and baled hay every summer up until she graduated University as a civil environmental engineer and not is working on saving the world on landfill at a time. Don’t underestimate those kids they are destined to be leaders!

[@andybowyer3602]

I remember a year or so ago when you were struggling for hey!! Love your channel and your lifestyle! Big big fan from LIVERPOOL UK ❤👌

[@lindabriggs5118]

Ahhhh. The smell of fresh cut hay brings me back to when I, too, had a small ranch. There is nothing like it. If I wasn't helping to mow or bale, then I was canning or making bread, or feeding the livestock. I envy you and I wish I was younger than I am now. Hope you got a good crop this year to get you through this upcoming winter, Jax!

[@frankgeimer5952]

My four Boys are contributing members of Society because of the facts that My Wife and I took the time to raise them with our moral values, our work ethic and lead them to be leaders themselves. It is so important today to not only take the time but MAKE the time, suffer a little ourselves so that they will not have to suffer as much and I am so grateful that KZbin contributors as you and your family MAKE the time to pass the awareness on to the world! Thank You and I'll keep watching!

[@truckerwill4988]

Jaxon, you come from good parents and you are a good parent. Strong morals and values as well as a solid work ethic is learned not a given. What you say is so true. That perhaps is why I so look forward to your next vlog. Watching you balance family, work, your podcast and band play is inspirational. You are blessed with a beautiful family and a full life, but it comes with hard work as well. God bless you and your family. Safe travels driver.

[@hopes489]

Such a change, Rooster getting stuck because there’s so much hay he can’t see where he’s going. So glad it’s a better year. I grew up haying with my family in Western Mass. Hated it as a kid/teen that I had to spend my summers on a tractor in a hayfield while my friends were off having fun. But as an adult I understand and appreciate the foundation in life my dad was giving us. Love to see your kids out there learning with you, so important for many reasons. Side note, haying in Mass is a different process. Mow, ted, rake, bale, and after it’s cut can’t get rained on. Your hay videos make me miss those days. Looking forward to the next one. And 👏🏻 to Lash!

[@garymessina1609]

Awesome video Jax farm family video very enjoyable your kids are great thanks for sharing

[@bobmoroney3643]

keep the family busy. She was happy to work with her pappy.

[@dlind24]

Really, great video Jaxon. You’re a good farmer, and a better friend!

[@realwildwildwest]

Thanks D Dogg

[@debinbc]

I was six when my dad put me on the tractor with a flat trailer on the back to streer it while him and my mom and four siblings picked rocks in the fields back in '65 i just vagely remember i just knew i was helping and it made me feel good on our own farm 💞 thanks for the memories 🙏💕🥰

[@Hogger280]

The situational awareness you speak of when mowing is the same as riding a motorcycle - never stare at any one place, always keep the eyes moving.

[@TheIIOM]

Great to see a great hay crop after a couple lean years. As they say .. 'make hay while the sun shines'. As far as the kids/family.... your efforts and your wife's effort show. Great job

[@TaylorMikel]

My jaw dropped when i saw how green and lush things are this year, excited for you guys and glad to see this year's hay haul is so much better

[@realwildwildwest]

Crazy huh?!

[@markreynolds9570]

Way better than the NASCAR stuff. Great parents you are. Freakin awesome.

[@northcountry9240]

I have to say it was a little hard watching a orange tractor pulling green equipment LoL. Happy for you guys looks like some great hay. Peace 🇺🇲

[@realwildwildwest]

🤣🙌🏼

[@georgedreisch2662]

Being from the era of sickle bar mowers, wheel rakes, and square bales, kickers were a new luxury, we didn’t have yet, loading bales in the field and stacking in the barn, haying was a multi-week marathon. Was a different time… Great to see kids still being given and assuming responsibilities, that ultimately leads to worth while human beings.

[@doug-fisher]

I could talk all the crap I want about your “man bun”, but why would I? I don’t even grow hair anymore and I’m only 40. That’s your style and the fact that you don’t care what people think shows how good of a person you are. At least you’ll be able to tie your daughters hair up where I never could and she’d have to go to school with her hair down(still gets brought up every once in a while). Keep rockin it Jax, by the look of Rooster, your hair isn’t gonna thin out anytime soon.

[@realwildwildwest]

Haha thanks Doug! 🙌🏼

[@Hogger280]

Hey Jax, Samurai had buns, how awesome is that!!

[@mikescenters5785]

Every young boy or girl should be on the farm or Ranch one year it makes better people as they get older ❤

[@timmygtruckingstories1687]

You are absolutely correct! I grew up on a farm and I was working from the time I was old enough to sit in a tractor seat! Keep up the good work.!

[@user-ni8ye9wo8g]

Looks like you have some good thick windrows this year. It’s amazing what a little moisture will do for a hay field. Hope you continue to get rain. Just not when you’re trying to bale 😂

[@Kelly-fk3oi]

Jax. ..Like that old song goes... "It's good to touch the green, green grass of home." Quite a familly operation with all that skill along with the beautiful sights and sounds. Happy trails. Kelly

[@brettmorton7365]

Ah yes, all the smells of my childhood 😊 i wish i was still on a farm, but the road did what it does and called out to me, and as you mentioned, those life skills learned on the farm, like backing a trailer are coming in handy! And yeah mowers always have one grease point you cant get to... 😂 Also, you could tuck your hair up under a hat of some sort, whichever you prefer... now you can't say nobody comes up with any solutions 😂😂

[@davidlipski863]

So pleased for you that you had a crop of hay after the drought the last few years. It's been raining here in Wales the last month after a mini heat wave.

[@leomcavoy5770]

🇺🇲 🙏Amen 🙏 to what you said on child raising and I'll raise you a 'don't forget to praise them when they do good and PATIENCE, LOL. That said it sure is a blessing watching you folks harvest a hay crop not chasing around trying to find a green patch with more than a dozen blades of grass/alfalfa. I can't imagine what it was like on your end but it was agonizing to watch you and your extended family go through it! Farming certainly is a character building enterprise, kinda like if it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger. Always hated that comment, LOL. 😂

[@kayfilz3987]

Hallelujah Hay🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 can not wait to see the tally. So so great seeing the kids get involved and enjoying it. Mine are younger but are always waiting in on what mom and dad are doing. Have a good time at Loudon. Old Stomping grounds. Safe travels

[@DavidsExecutiveTouch17]

Awesome video Brother. Great job on teaching your kids to follow in your footsteps. As I've grown older I've realized my Dad was training me back then in the auto industry & business as a whole, & while he may be gone, the work ethic and career carries on. 😉

[@jandyg]

Was starting to worry about you Wolfman Jax. Said a few prayers for you, and here you are with another video. Hope all are well and safe.

[@benbirkigt493]

You could also do the same with your beard a pony tail held together with several rubber bands going down the length of of your beard on those hot days it makes a huge difference and it looks cool

[@lynnalohaaloha9439]

So good to see you cutting all that alfalfa. Such a change from the last few years. Awesome job to your daughter. Keep up the great parenting

[@MT-STUFF]

Tall grass in the Giltedge is always great to see. Great time for you and your family to work together, God Bless

[@RayHall-yo8ib]

Jax grow it longer and put it in a ponytail,, I'm 65 retired military,, grew up in the 60s and 70s ,, the Air Force took me in 80 , because of the stop building, I was a licensed plumber,, I have one now,, and most older veterans,,

[@daddyphatsax304]

Ol' Freddy Five Fingers can shred. Keep him pickin' n grinnin'...he seems to have an appreciation for the more technical genres that actually challenge his skills. Great stuff.

[@daddyphatsax304]

Also, I forgot you were helping out on the NH race or i would have came down to see you. I crew chief at the ARA stage rally race in Maine on teh same weekend. I am from Michigan but I am in NH/Maine that same weekend every year.

[@tedp5599]

Love the video, love the guitar playing and that it’s you son playing. Love seeing your kids helping out. Best memories of childhood was in the summer when we go to my uncle farm in northern bc. I wasn’t treat like the city kid I was, I was given a pair of gloves and let’s get at it! What I learned up there shaped who I am today. I loved every minute of it.

[@greenbankreptiles]

Bloody hipsters... I've had long hair and beard through 3 fashion circles (7 years is a fashion circle) and yes we need to put our hair up when working! Much love and respect my fellow bearded brother 🙏

[@lylehann674]

Although I didn’t live in the farm my dad and his brothers still worked the farm so I started driving grain truck at 10. Then we moved to the very edge of the Rockies, right above glacier in Alberta and from 13 on every time I had more than two days off school I would be and my cousins ranch working the fields, calving, fencing and of course riding the fences and delivering salt on horseback. BEST TIMES of my life. Wouldn’t change anything except maybe a tractor with air, or a cab for that matter

[@Frank-xm1sx]

Yeah, great catch means parents are good home. Life is good it makes life good. Keep up the good work tell the kids I’m impressed.

[@mbdraper]

Get a hair cut you hair dog! HAHA just kidding! It's so good to see you out working with the kids they will go far in life. I work with a couple guys that grew up on a farm / ranch and they are by far the best to fly with, they are just there to get the job done. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@robertfarnell8770]

Hen joy your hay making very nice video content enjoy your mowing I look forward to hay making on the farm but things go south very quickly in the aspect of being a truck driver and having an accident That Changes Everything so stay safe keep on trucking and farming from Halifax England 🇬🇧

[@amberandrews1795]

Great to see an amazing crop this year Jax!

[@tomhill7479]

Great job,keep doing what you do

[@eugeneclarke5572]

Totally agree with stating to teach the kids early. I don't have any kids but I had an older brother and a father who started me early driving bulldozers and tractors. And when I would go on holiday to my uncle. He'd have me "earning my keep " driving for him . He just knew I love driving. I was about 6 or 7 at the time. Two feet on the clutch pedal and my butt just off the seat to press it. Oh please give me back them days. Now because of European laws kids can't work until they are in their late teens. By then they have no interest manual work. All the best 👍 🇮🇪

[@josephboley]

Ummm anyone who picks on Jax,s manbun....can leave IMMEDIATELY. ya know your here because of the majestic beard anyway...don't lie to yourself.....we all know.🤨🤔😂🤨🤔😂

[@corywatson3942]

I completely agree with you child rearing advice! There’s too much evidence of the opposite these days!

[@mississippijohn1432]

Great job and great advice as well. You definitely have to start teaching them young.

[@andy5786]

Awesome with your green fields you do a fantastic job wild wild West brilliant farm gear thanks great videos 👍🇬🇧

[@mosyinmoses]

Another great video glad to see all the moisture you guys got. Was another dry year in southern Alberta we are gonna be moving cattle off pastures already

[@realwildwildwest]

Man that’s early… well there plenty of hay down here if ya ll need to come get some .

[@jangrahame4891]

prayers have difinitely been answered! Congrats on the crop this year! That cycle of drought is tied to a 22 year solar cycle. The farmers Almanac was based on the solar cycle way back when.

[@gaelenecole4053]

Glad your hay is finally doing some growing ❤ You definitely have different grasses than us down here I loved conditioning the hay ,bailing etc just didn’t like cutting it 😞 cause I didn’t want to hit the bunny’s ❤

[@justLori530]

my goodness I'm so glad to see how green it is there. As you know its ugly here in Calif per usual.Glad to see y'all aren't struggling this yr. and I agree with the kids! peace and love from the 530

[@brads4667]

Dude so proud to see you work with your kids. It is so important to do that

[@nada7.077]

Hi Jax! Good to see you on the ranch again! I think everyone is so down on “man buns” because that is the hairstyle of choice for antifa and other radical marxists groups. My solution for my very long hair, especially when we were out in the woods cutting firewood, was to wear a durag to contain and protect my hair. Wearing a durag was also the only way I could stand to ride a motorcycle, and do a lot of chores around the ranch. It sure is good to see the ranch looking so beautiful, green, and lush! Is this your first or second cutting? Would be fantastic if you could get at least 3 cuttings in!! Howdy Rooster! Looking good, hope you are feeling well also. ❤️🙏

[@malchamberlain3798]

Great news on the Hay! Look real lush! Sweet sound vibes from Weeds I guess? in the intro! Thank you for the positive vibes!

[@douglasmarchildon1772]

I love this video so much hit home to me growing up in N. H. Working beside dad as a child thanks

[@facelikedog]

The blokes beaking off about manbuns usually couldn't tell the difference between a cow and a bull. So there's that.

[@johnreynolds3948]

So nice to see you regional hay is in great shape ,, our hay sucks this year we are experiencing 50% less than last year

[@timtippit9915]

It is so satisfying watching you hay

[@poorboy2012]

Great! I have watched your video over and over again. Everything here is very close. Thank you for sharing the video

[@danreimer7213]

Always enjoy your videos

[@brddukaty7460]

Amazing man , great father 👏👏👍

[@shakes7333]

I used to have hair like that. My dad used to tell me "You need to take 2 steps closer to your razor." lol.

[@rirebel6029]

Man I'm so happy you got something to mow this time the last couple times you've been mowing dust ! I kept thinking to myself that it had to of been costing you guys more in diesel than you were getting in hay and alfalfa !! Tinted windows help so much I'm in machines all day everyday and even with a good ac the widows are like magnifying glass on you !!!!

[@travissweeney788]

The hum,the strum, and the bum,that avoids a conundrum,

[@janewittmayer9281]

Looks like a great first cutting. Hope you don't dry out like last year. Nothing like the smell of hay. I remember Jr. or Terry out in the garage changing the cutter on the sickle. Sure miss the farm. They don't call Montana the Big Sky State for nothing. I wish you would send some of that rain up my way Jacko Valley. Pretty soon you will have kids that can be driving those haying machines. You'll have a lot of good pasture for fall and winter.

[@donbob449]

Hay Jax, what the hay? PTO sounds go to Rye, Hay yes, Haybilly, Hay of a video!☘🦔🐄🚜 😂

[@MarkSmith-xi8ii]

That magical grass you spoke of is called "Timothy" here in southeast Michigan...

[@josephboley]

Hello there bud. Hope your having a great day.👍✌️🙏🙏

[@weirdscience1]

i do believe she's on to something. A all in one machine would be amazing, she better get to work. 🙂 My oldest son's birthday is in August as well as mine. Happy early birthday,!🎉

[@rirebel6029]

We had a killer first cutting and are gearing up for the second cutting very soon , a lot of guys in the area have already done second cutting and going for a third at the end of the summer

[@josephvantreeck2989]

Thanks Jax!

[@maxzeigler5857]

Sky was beautiful

[@amsimons29]

Its been really good here in western Washington for hay too im getting ready to start my second cutting next weekend and the best part is we just got close to 2 inches of rain in the last 2 days.

[@matthewklejeski6641]

So I grew up in the Midwest pull type swathers were the norm, so you don't run over standing crop make six around all the way around the outside then you can spin around on the ends without running over standing crop

[@markhester5145]

Awesome video!!!! Love it!!! Thank you

[@307Garage]

Your look fits you! Do not change your hair! lol Yep It has been wet here is Wyoming as well!

[@nina-banina]

Totally jealous of rain!!! Send some to us, thanks!!!

[@Harvs13]

If you do a bit of tractor work at night don't tint your windows. Because the cab is all window all you will see at night with tinted windows is the reflection of the other windows and dash lights radio and yourself. To hard to see anything you don't want to hit or run over. Even whatever machine you have attached you will struggle to keep an eye on it. You will only have feel and your ears to hear for problems

You wear your hair however you want..it’s a free country. 😅 long hair isn’t my thing but I certainly wouldn’t want anyone telling me I had to let mine grow. 😂 I’m not saying if we were friends and hanging out having a cold beverage I wouldn’t give you a little grief about it. 😂all in good fun of course.
