Adding Some Land to the Farm This Year!

[@sunroofracing]

Great video Jan! Your kindness, consideration and care of your animals is always impressive. Kind and reassuring words for the cow that didn't like the change to concrete. Best wishes on the new property. Hope to see some of the clean up and slurry application on the new field, leading to a great crop for you! Thanks for the video!

[@murielmartin6533]

Always nice to own more land. Thanks for letting the cow decide about crossing over onto the cement. Yelling at a cow just gets them upset. Patience is what is needed with cattle. We had heifers in a pasture where they had to cross the road, they did not like the yellow line.

[@rdyardie]

Maybe they had too much fermented silage and they knew that they could not walk a straight line. 🤣

[@christianlundstrom9918]

RD Summach That was funny 😁 😂 Muriel Martin, I noticed the same thing. I think he should have made more of a point on the video to be patient with a cow and not push her to cross the cement. As he gave her time she figured out a way across

Hope you and your friends, family and all of your neighbors are well. Stay safe!

[@paulwalsh548]

Nice video !!! Hope you and family are safe seen on the news what happen over there very shocking when you country is pretty safe. Should have some tree land in paddocks stop erosion. I know people like empty open fields but should look into it.

[@sidhudairyfarmbajekan7104]

Very beautiful cow video

[@russellgilson4072]

You really have a good temperament with your livestock, a animal that is upset is more difficult to handle. You do a nice job explaining the life cycle of a cow from freshening to drying them up, most people not in the dairy industry have no idea about milking cows. Your website is really informative from this standpoint. Great job!

[@rdyardie]

I mentioned that I was visiting Uncle Everett when the caragana trees were planted. Uncle Wilf was there as well. It took a man sitting on the tree planter and he would load the planting wheel. A tractor pulled the tree planter. It opened up a small furrow and the wheel spaced the small trees about 18 inches or so apart. The trees were about 12" tall. The caragana rows became a shelter for deer and other animals like rabbits and foxes etc. Seeing a deer used to be fairly rare in the area but they fairly common now. I used to visit a lot of relatives in your area. You likely know what is taking place. I was a "city slicker" as my country cousins used to say. I did like going to the farm. I learned to drive around Rice Lake when we drove to August's farm as well as Fred's farm. Farming is changing for sure. You are the next generation. Take care. 😊

[@asquithmainlines699]

I have cousins that farm down in the Creelman area. There are lots of caragana windrows there as well. In fact except for the yard sites those are the only trees you see for miles. I bet there was a program for those way back when. They picked the right species as anyone knows those things will survive anything.

[@WhirlyPearly]

My parents Shelter Belt consisted of caragana, poplar, evergreen and some lilac. I remember when my Dad showed up at the county yard in his 1/2 ton for his 7 bundles of trees but he felt no worse than the first 1970s Dutch/Swiss farmers who had immigrated and showed up for 600 trees apiece with several three tons each. My Dad thought it was probably the county guys biggest laugh of the year was seeing who came in the biggest haulers/workers and didn’t understand the Alberta Shelter belt program. 12” sticks you were supposed to grow on the bald prairie with very little water. Needless to say they grew, there was loss but they did there job by cutting the wind and preventing some soil erosion

[@rdyardie]

@@asquithmainlines699 Windbreaks were part of a government program. You are correct. However, what does a 6 or 7 year old know about government programs? I was about that old when my uncles were planting those caraganas. I recall my Uncle Wilf getting his boot jammed in the planting wheel as it turned. Yes, it hurt. It was almost serious enough to cause real injury. That was the one and only time that I saw planting equipment used on the farm. By the way, there was no GPS back then. A person could keep an eye on a distant object and make a fairly straight line. In fact you can check that out in scripture. (Luke 9:62) Those times swathing before GPS were interesting. Making a straight swath was not as easy as it is today.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

I guess with modern no till farming that since you aren’t cutting up the soil you don’t have to worry as much about the wind blowing away your topsoil. I understand wanting to get the land back for farming, but I’m not sure I’d be cutting down those windbreaks. They sure worked down South in the Midwest plains.

[@ronzimmerman8968]

Congratulations on the land! Nice that it's close to home!

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

Over the course of a few short years. The dairy has grown by leaps and bounds! Congrats to all the family and all the workers. Dad is one cool customer (he must really know dairy farming)!

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Really glad that you were able to get the extra land. Hope you get a great yield from it. Your new bin site looks awesome. Great video. Thanks Jan.

[@mattlee504]

Urge you to reconsider ripping up tree lines. As a farm that says you suffer from dry land they could make a world of difference in retaining moisture and improving soil structure, as well as benefiting the local environment. Large open spans of land really can be the enemy in a changing environment

[@kevinhagen9841]

Congratulations on the new land always a good thing to have some of your own

Congrats on the new land, some hard work ahead but worth it. Thanks for the shout out Jan and you are more than welcome, you have a great channel. I saw a fella just east of town on Monday along the south side of the highway cutting hay with a 30 series case tractor and a wooden reeled pull type swather. A real piece of prairie history there. I wanted to stop and take some pictures but I didn’t know what he would think now I am sorry I didn’t. Let us know when you are torching those piles I will bring the hot dogs and buns!

[@BillAndersonNS]

Video suggestion: I think it would be interesting for you to tell us about farm mealtimes. Do you all eat lunch together or does each person just grab a bite to eat whenever it's convenient? Same with supper - do you try to eat all together? Who makes the food? do you have a farm cook of is that called Mom? What is a typical meal for breakfast, lunch and supper? Do you have a Dutch menu or is it more traditionally Canadian? Love your channel, An old city slicker from Nova Scotia

[@mienafriggstad3360]

Look at a few previous videos; when harvesting. Jan showed them all eating together in the field together. Jan said thats the best part of harvesting. The only time his mom cooks for all them and they eat together. The only other tines are holidays. In other videos he showed a lunch room and chairs on a deck outside; attached to the milking parlor.

[@brianjonker510]

Just how sandy? Is the CEC enough to handle that much manure?

[@brianjonker510]

And just a minute later I see you dig out a handful of soil. That fine sand makes a lot better soil than coarse sand. I might even call that fine sandy loam but WTF would I know from just a picture.

Would like to know how u build up new farm and a new project ahead on this new land

[@ziauddin7948]

awesome newly purchased 160 acres land # but the remaining stems of harvested crop should be removed from the roots then liquid manure can be spread to increase land fertility #❤️❤️👍

[@timothymbonham4453]

No! Remove those stems and that sandy soil will blow away in windy Saskatchewan. Better to have crop stubble there to hold down the erosion. The liquid manure can just be spread right over the stubble and will soak in just fine.

[@normalincoln8502]

I'm curious, do any of your cows ever see green grass? Or get to eat it ?

[@brandip2446]

No, many dairy cows have specialized diets that are fed to them based on their needs which are way better than grass... I am sure I am pretty sue dairy cows that get put on grass are smaller operations, I have to say that this farms cows have it made pretty good when comes to care, food/diet, medical care, treatment, and lifestyle from the day they are born but thats just my opinion I answered because I assume this question can be seen as controversial and many will stay away from responding 😆

[@kellwood1404]

What do the bags in the three weeks cows vs heifers look like? Also the before impregnated heifers? Silly I know. Would you take photos of all your large pieces of wagons, tractors etc?

[@sparhawkable]

Do you not get dust storms there? I am guessing the trees slowed the wind erosion of the soil.

[@michaelwylder3610]

Do you sell the heifers that you can’t add to the milking herd ?

I will be sure to get the video up as soon as the week “ban” is up, and I will keep you guys updated! Thank you for understanding. Hey there everyone. I believe I should have been able to post a video again today but I woke up to another video taken down. This is the 6th video taken down. I also received a second strike so I will not be able to post for 2 more weeks. Thank you everybody for understanding. Just a heads up! I will be making all of my videos private until I can post again. Once that happens I will slowly make my videos public again so I can see if they still get taken down. If I revive another strike on KZbin I will lose my entire channel so I’m just trying to go the safe route! Just a little careless it seems.

On your new block why not burn the timber piles where they are and then push the remainder up. You achieve two main things ash into your fields and a lot less to bury if that's what you do. Thats what we do when we clear land for farming, we are starting with virgin timbered land.
