Swathing Canola, Dry Off Cows, Moving Baler!

[@benkemp]

Always like seeing Mirjam in your vids, Jan

[@andrewmaiden3738]

I really like the simplicity and factual content of this channel, I hope it continues in this format and doesn't get corrupted with sponsorships and advertising like others (who I have unsubscribed and walked away from. Lots of sites build up their subscribers and viewings based on basic vlogs. Then when the numbers get good they get tempted with offers and then the content that made them popular changes!

[@handiman5001]

It's so great to see your little sister Marium? taking a real interest in the cattle side of the farm and you must feel fortunate to have 12 quarters of straw to bale, that will help a lot

[@ToyotaPete]

👍💚 & thank you for what you and all the great people who work with and for you to help sustain this country

[@bilbobeutlin1202]

Saturday.....I wish you a happy evening with friends and nice people. Have fun. 😇

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you

[@Digeroo123]

I hate moles too. Problem for me is the rats use their holes and run around under the ground and chew the roots of things. Here in the UK we have had a wet summer. Last year almost no rain for six month, this year hardly six days without rain. Nice to see you finally got home and it was still light.

[@coreyvandyke528]

You can make a bridge from one good lug to another good love over top of the broken lug was a piece of flat bar two holes drilled in it and a nut the same size welded to the flat bar done this before if I knew how to put a picture on here I would sketch it out for you but y'all pretty smart so you could probably figure it out on your own LOL

Love when Jan plays little tricks. Glad you got some rain, but it never seems to come at the right time. Amazing how much damage a little mole can do.Great video as usual, thanks.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

Jumping running cows. They're happy 😊

[@bilbobeutlin1202]

Hello Jan, thanks for your great video. In Germany, too, we have a below-average grain harvest. Initially dry and emergency ripening, then three weeks of repeated rain so that everything was submerged and it turned dark gray. Hail that caused 100% loss of some corn fields. Greetings Dieter

[@williammerry4746]

Long hours, hard work, still an interesting job at home which we ENJOY seeing as well. Most interesting and well done.

[@kathyk479]

Got to have fun sometime!

[@USAReferee]

It's always fun to see Miriam in your videos. Her smile always lights up the video. It is obvious just how important her hard work is to your family's dairy farm. Thank you for another excellent video. Always enjoy your and Neline's videos and keeping up with your successful operation.

Mother Nature is in CONTROL of everyone & everything! too bad humans did not listen to her warnings & science facts of years past! our environmental concerns will only get worse every year... BC & the Yukon in serious forest fire evacuations... in this one video you talk of the rain stopping the bailing, drought stopping you swathing, the cow pens too dry with dangerous holes... then the grasshoppers eating your crops. challenging for sure! how everyone functions is factured now in relation to our weather. Hats off to the farmers who will suffer the most first! Thank you for your POSITIVE content💯

Thanks!

[@bethp1530]

You've been going full speed ahead on the videos and the drone footage has really gone up in quality and editing. Well done Jan, I hope the more frequency of content has changed the algorithium for you and you gain more subscribers and are able to make more revenue. By the way, if you want to get rid of the moles or voles you have you need to first get rid of the grub worms living under your lawn/grass. In the US we can us a product call grubex which controls the grubs for up to 2 years. You put it on with a spreader like you would a weed and feed product.

[@homey3051]

Never 2 old to play tricks on people Thanks 4 another video..take care.

I've gotten 2 moles with my 3 tong pitch fork. Gota love the hunt. 👍

[@andrewmoore3491]

Lots of scrap metal $$$ on the side of the barn where that old hand push mower is.

[@saskdutchkid]

Yep! We brought it all away not even 2 years ago and there’s already that much there!

[@dhansonranch]

Good video. The thing with moles is there will be another mound tomorrow. Done my fair share of trapping them as well.

[@LikeAGlove_]

[@martybr2]

Those moles are THE worst. I too, like to trap them. Few things more rewarding than a tripped trap in the morning. Happy hunting.

[@johnhughes2113]

Great shows you give us much appreciated keep up the good work, I’m in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK when you mentioned 12 quarters, is that totaling 3000 acres ?

[@Boraxo]

As I understand it, it's 160 acres per quarter ?

[@WhirlyPearly]

One section is four quarters (160 per 1/4) so one section is 640 acres so for 12 1/4’s it’s 7680 acres. Hope my math is correct😂

[@johnhughes2113]

7680 would be 640 x 12. 160 x 12 is 1920. If the 160 per 1/4 is right then the 12 quarters is 1920 acres. I think we’re all on the same page now.@@WhirlyPearly

[@MervinBontrager]

What bull do you use to breed your red Holstein cows?

[@MellowYe77ow]

Ranger Red is one of them.

[@karynefagg209]

Hi - I have watched you for ages, but can you remind us again why you 'dry' the cows out - what part of the cycle are they about to go into. It was great seeing all the different corrals in a previous video with the names of each group, once again, can you explain what part of the cycle they are in.... apart from the little buggers... they'll be off for a ride in a big truck! Thanks

[@MellowYe77ow]

They dry the cows off 2 months before calving. To give them a break before their next 305 day lactation cycle.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Sometimes here the big wind would lift up the rolled swaths and take the whole thing away...the unrolled swaths were just messed up a bit but still able to combine

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@kingjackupeace5844]

Hi everyone, I'm late commenting because I got home just a little bit ago from milking!! Happy Saturday to you all! Love your videos, Jan!!!!!!!

You are the hardest working young man I know. Keep up the hard work but don’t forget to take time for yourself, and a partner.

[@joshbutterfass5251]

If those tractors get empty before they get to the e on the gauge I would suggest getting sending unit replaced in the gas tanks that probably why they are running out of fuel is because the gas gauge isn’t working properly

Hopefuuly the wind last night left your Canola swaths in place. On one of my trips to Arizona I miss judged my fuel and ran on vapours into Medicine Hat. My truck was saying fuel exhaustion eminent the last 10 k or so. It was the longest drive of my life. Always better to drive on the top 1/2.

8:47 still shocks me on how yellow those tires are.

[@taylerwagner5776]

4:17 why do you guys use net wrap and not string?

[@MellowYe77ow]

String is used for square bales. Net wrap is used for round.

[@PeterM_K]

Can you get the steers a big ball to play with? to prevent boredom..?

[@robkay9227]

Hi Think direct heading the canola would have been a better option Looks to ripe to windrow

[@danfinley3690]

[@julielumsden5184]

Jan, it’s time to provide entertainment to your cows in the corrals to stop them digging massive holes. Maybe a movie or orchestral music.

@saskdutchkid

[@henkheemskerk4437]

Hello Jan. One time you use the metric system the other time the other. It is unclear. Can you explain how many acres is a hectare and such Greetings from the Netherlands

[@timothymbonham4453]

Western Canada (and much of the western US prairie states) was surveyed and laid out in square miles. Often there is a gravel road every mile or so. All the land titles and property deeds are recorded in square miles or parts of such. a square mile (also called a section)= 640 acres. A Quarter is 1/4th of that, 160 acres. Hectare is a metric area measurement, 10,000 square meters. 1 hectare = about 2.5 acres (2.47..) So a section = 259 hectares. But even though Canada is mostly metric, farmers & property owners still talk in terms of sections, quarters, and acres. It's just easier to say that a field is 80 acres rather than 32.374851 hectares (and that's rounded, exact is an even longer number).

[@oxfordmontello3281]

You could stick the garden hose down one hole, turn the water on and when/ if they come out (half drowned) hit them in the head with a shovel. Or, dump rat poison down the hole.

Use the mole trap that is covered except for a hole that lets light into a tunnel. The mole attempts to plug the hole and a cable pulls up on the mole. The mole suffocates. It is effective. The trap costs about $20.

[@Kendall-p1m]

Hey jan is drying off cows a one day thing or does it take a few days

[@MellowYe77ow]

It's a few day process. The cows are put on a lower energy diet to lower their milk production before they're dried off.

[@debraknol7661]

please send some rain our way, we are on a provincial state of emergency from all the wild fires 🔥

[@christinekeleher3578]

If you gave the cows that are digging a big ball to play with would they play with it and would it help to stop them from digging. It’s worth a try don’t think it could hurt anything better then big holes.

[@1944chevytruck]

You don't have a battery operated grease gun? ... GOOD JOB!..... Do you have any hot rods?

[@MellowYe77ow]

Yes, they have a battery operated grease gun, but Jan prefers a manual one. No, he doesn't have any hotrods.

[@tomboysen7592]

Are they eating the dirt I thought I heard one time that they do that to get some kind of mineral. I might have dreamed that. Thank you Tom from Nebraska USA

If you spread milky spoor on the ground, you will have no grubs and then no moles digging in your ground for grubs to eat. Lasts about six years per application and does no harm to anything else.
