What a blessing to document this on Video for all the PREM FAM ! What a legacy for old Mike and Ginger 👍

[@shirleysousa1133]

I loved hearing you dad and uncle reminiscing about the old days.

[@donnamackenzie9124]

Tom, I have been watching you for quite a while and I am so impressed with you and your Dad. This video shows your family's proud heritage and it is a joy to watch you build on what others have started. Walk tall young man and congratulations !

[@SmithyScotland]

You've accomplished more in the last few years than some of us have accomplished in a lifetime.

[@richardwatts220]

Thanks to you tube!

[@Dannyp8038]

Just remember you are the future of the farm. You are lucky enough to have the whole family behind you to support you in this adventure. We are just lucky enough to see it happening. You must be proud with what you have achieved 5 year plan. Looking forward to the next 5 year plan

[@allentowngal4769]

** IT IS PRICELESS !! ** To see and hear your family milking lineage. It makes me sad to see some family farms end because their kids understandably have no interest in working 18 hrs/day. It is noble work, but it takes an inane love for the animals, challenges, and creativity. Skills not everyone has. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Thank you very much, i wouldn't be doing anything else :D

[@WayneSmith-yf3fg]

In our ice cream store, we used RFP (reinforced Fiberglass Panels) they came in 4'x9' panels and were glued to the wall. Really easy to clean at the end of the day. Can;t wait to see the new parlor!

[@billinburlington5507]

As much as your uncle Mike said he does not want to milk again, I bet he’d be thrilled to do it again in the new parlour. Make his day Tom!

[@beakacalek3765]

A family that works together stays together. I got married in 1961, and your family milking parlor opened. I can hardly wait until the new one is up and running. Thanks to your dad and uncle for all the history. I do enjoy your videos.

[@daelpixphotography]

I love these videos Tom. Nothing better than listening to the history of the farm, from one Generation to another. Love it !! #movingforward

[@paulwalsh548]

Sad times but good memories !!!!!! Now the time enjoy the new parlour once it's built. Don't forget to look after yourself tom and luke and team.

[@princesspillows]

I adored the family reminiscing. I'd love to see Uncle Mike put the first clusters on if he was able. I know a few in the fibreglass industry I'll ask around. Your Mum & Dad must be super proud of you.

[@peter6411]

I love the history of the farm from your dad and uncle's, I was born in 1961 when the parlour opened, a great video Tom. All the best to all your family.. Peter

[@Just_Kenneth_63]

Feb 8th 1961 good god I am getting old

[@esparka]

1961 here, as well..

[@peterwardle572]

Tom, it was nice to see the family and Uncle Tom talking about the old farm and the end of an era and the new era in 10 weeks time, a bit of family farm history is great.

[@robertthomas2]

Thanks for giving us some of the best farming videos. I feel you do more for the farming community than shows like county file and other farming shows on BBC will ever do. The changes I have watched on your farm since I started watching your channel is amazing.

[@virginiayoung5390]

Ways to go Tom So proud of you and all you have accomplished I watch every Tuesday and Friday and sometimes Sunday. I know it is stressful but keep up the good work.

[@pamelagordon9937]

🎉🎉🎉🎉 end of an era but the start of a new era as well. It’s beautiful to see the family come out and honor the past with remembrances.

Thanks Janet :D

[@paulyanez3482]

I’m happy that you and you’re father are creating a new generation of farming and I know he’s proud of what you both are accomplishing it’s just amazing stay blessed 👍🏼

[@irenemariebelanger3758]

Amazing history told by those who lived it , farmers are our heroes. These wonderful people kept and keep us fed! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@kimrafferty7170]

If the new parlour lasts as long as this one it will be replaced in 2084 😳 and then you can tell everyone what it was like for you all when you were building it. You can say how quickly the cows learned the new milking routine and how one of the feeders nearly knocked you out when you were taking it down, I wonder if you will remember this time fondly or not. The history your family have in the farm is so lovely to hear, I really hope your Dad writes a book about the family farm and all the history that comes with it. Listening to your Dad, your Aunt, Uncle and 2nd cousin saying what it used to be like was so interesting, thank you all for sharing your memories. I apologise for such a long comment but it's amazing how much you are doing on the farm, I really hope the trouble you've had so far has left the road clear so the rest of the build goes without a hitch. Good luck for the next stage and I look forward to watching it happen. Love to you, Joanna, your Mum, Dad and all the team - and the cows xxxx

[@amfwelsh]

Lovely having all your family there and talking of old times. Cherish them all as much as you can.

[@dominicjeynes]

Hey Tom if there’s anything I know about our older generations of family, you saying to your uncle to put the first cluster on would really mean something to him. I know my grandad would be the same would always say no but being persistent and getting him to do it is a memory that lasts forever.

[@nessbolton8293]

Awesome reminiscing session there, through the generations of Pembertons that have run your farm Tom, it’s lovely to hear. There aren’t many families that can work together like you do, it’s definitely not easy without coming to blows every now and again, I’ve loved seeing the relationship you have with your dad but to see Aunty and Uncle and cousins too with your stories and to see the building come down looking forward to the new parlour. You’ve definitely come a long way, end of an era, onto new beginnings 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stephenross1581]

You must be well happy with your life now Tom, the farm is looking better than ever, you have your first book out, and doing very well, your KZbin channel is absolutely flying, the only thing I am see missing is some little Toms for you to train up for future years to come.

[@donnametcalf1740]

The conversation s about the past is worth a million dollars. You are so lucky tom

[@willardelsasser5310]

Love the stories from the old times and the progression thru history.

[@thomasjones3946]

Good one today team Pemberton nice to see the family there too see the old out and the new in no Turning back now Good luck hope everything goes well 👍

[@TheNemosdaddy]

I'm sure there is a lot of pride seeing things passed down and progressing forward.

[@CLEARVIEW666]

You have a wonderful genuine family Tom. Thank You for sharing your Journey with the world.

[@BustinRootz]

Can’t wait to see it to come down. It’s going to be a great new beginning

[@mattrobinson2774]

So good to hear past story's and you should be so proud of how to farm is progressing big achievement and so good to see well done mate

[@annettehawkins8467]

Great video! Just love your dad! It is awesome to see him excited about the changes!

[@chuckhenry5487]

After fire completely destroyed milking parlor we renovated a building on a different farm and put in swing 15 parlor in 6 weeks!

[@joycefuller9177]

Love hearing about the good ole days! Great video.

[@lourdeswaite9465]

I got teary eyed watching this. Can’t believe I’ve got a picture in there with you for my memory album. It’s going to be beautiful. Love the ancestral stories as well.

[@TheGandy1978]

There is a company called dragon mouldings they do fiberglassing for anything great company used them myself

[@bryanhubner9848]

It is quite remarkable how much you guys have accomplished to improve your farm in a rather short period of time.

[@ericthered982]

Hey Tom, why not use a prefabricated sandwich panel same as they use for refrigerated cool rooms? Easy to install and clean

[@sallywaites8517]

After the day I have had, your dad talking about the history of your dairy is an absolute tonic.

[@debraluxford2793]

Seeing your family in the parlour reminiscing was awesome. It's great to see their enthusiasim for the future.

[@tomjohns8498]

Tom please can we have some more history of your family farm 🚜 it's just so interesting, and hearing about the great changes

[@bentaylor38]

Simon Laing, his company is called Fibre Glass It, and he has done the walls at a bakery in Manchester. He's based in Stockport, fantastic bloke

[@sam-P90]

Amazing hearing the memories your dad and family were sharing. Keep up the good work guys

[@costarica0305]

Congratulations pemberton farm, love to hear all the years of memories they all had to tell. Unfortunately all good things come to an end . The new era has begun, time to create some new memories, and we (the viewers) are grateful to be part of this journey with you all

[@beskarmando7516]

Every episode is a education thanks tom and the team👍👍

[@dariolissens1437]

I work for a solar panel company all the way in Belgium, love the video’s ! If you wash the panels don’t do it with tab water !! It will damage the outer layer of the solar panels. Just wash them with rain water :)

[@GraeMatterz]

Here's a tip for keeping moss/algae off your roof and out of your gutters that I learned from a professional roof maintenance company in Oregon (some areas of Oregon get more than 200" of rainfall annually): In the fall (before the rains start) dust the roof with baking soda. For a building that size you'll only need two passes per side - one at the ridge and one mid-way down (but you may want to add a third pass the first year to kill the build up). You can apply it like they did with a drop fertilizer spreader (not a broadcast spreader as it's so powdery it blows away). The rain will then help the baking soda spread across the remainder of the roof and into the gutters. The baking soda kills the moss root system and prevents it from regrowing. The first year you may have to power wash the loose moss off the roof in the spring. The first time I tried it was on a place that we had bought not too long after learning about this trick. It had a fully-shaded patio with a 2-3" mat of moss covering it. After trying to scrape it off with a spade and found it thoroughly stuck, I sprinkled the whole mat that fall and thought it hadn't worked as the moss looked the same by the following spring. When I stepped on that mat to get to the tool shed next to the patio, I about fell on my tuchus when the mat broke loose and slid out from under me. The root system that stuck the mat to the concrete like superglue had turned into a slick, black sludge. I got the spade out and scraped the whole patio off easy peasy then sprayed the sludge off with a garden hose.

[@philipasbury9173]

Morning Tom. Dragon moulding did the fibre glass walls in my parlour, I think they’re still trading. They’re north Wales area but travel far and wide. Good luck and look forward to your continued improvement 👍

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

JKust got off the phone to them thank you :D

[@williamthomas277]

Absolutely love your videos Tom, how do you manage to make a cracking video as well as run the farm?! Huge respect for you!

[@jeffrichards66]

The viewers' response to the family reminiscing speaks volumes Tom? Room for some more gentle meandering chats & history over a cuppa? It's really heart warming.

[@santinoharvey4555]

Yes yes yes the tensely awaited parlour video series beginnings

[@glennoliphint8691]

Tom I'm glad that you're carrying on with with the dairy and raising cattle. For what i've heard from your dad and aunt and uncle there's quite a bit of history in the the milking room. That's really cool. Here in United States they either sale off their cows and walk away from the old dairies that they can't milk too many cows at a time. Or they build great big dairies to milk an outrageous amount of cows with 2 milking parlors and they milk 24/7 is what i've been told atleast when i took feed commodities to a couple of dairies in California.

[@alicowls1605]

I loved this vlog, just to listen to your family talking about the history of the parlour. Heart warming, and acceptance of change. Can’t wait to see how the new parlour takes shape.

[@abdjanshvamdjsj]

Such a satisfying way of living. I hope one day I will have farm. All the love to you and your family from India.

[@lindakinder929]

It was lovely to hear your family's memories of the milking parlour. It must be a little bit sad for them in one way, but the new parlour will take the farm into the future, which no doubt will be a great comfort to them. Won't be long before you can kiss goodbye to the bale!

[@hollys89]

So happy for you! See you put good out you get good back! And y'all have definitely put good out. It's so nice being a part of your dreams coming to fruition! Well done sir

Onward and upwards young man! Great to see you paying respect to Uncle.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍awesome

[@paulsouth4794]

Awsome Tom . We had to sell all our stock after my father died at 92 ,and like him the place was run down .. watching that last truck load of cattle leave was heat breaking . Good to see you have succession sorted ..

[@Iris_Germany]

Another great video 👍🏻 I loved hearing again something about the farm‘s history and see the family‘s connection to each other and the farm. A wonderful gift🎁 for us. Thank you for this, Tom! 💝💝

[@victoriabeattie6095]

Thank you

[@krisgill1286]

Hey Tom!!! If you see this, why don't you put "puck board" the stuff they use on the walls inside of a hockey rink on the walls. I don't know the cost but it's a super durable "plastic" material. Would be easy to clean and tough enough to handle the cattle etc. Just a thought! Cheers from Atlantic Canada

[@lauriehudgson548]

How good was this video listening to Tom and his family telling us all the history of their farm, if only I could live long enough to see what happens in the next 60 years but as I am 83 thats not going to happen. Good luck Tom for the future, you have a farm to be proud of, keep up these great videos.

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

So lovely to hear the history

Lovely to see uncle Mike, had wondered how he was doing. Love 2 u all.

[@jamesmarsh4957]

great to hear the family talking about the past in the old parlor , be good seeing the new one come in to place , perhaps a few more family chats about oid time would be fun to see

[@melissarecord7102]

I can’t wait to see your new brighter and cleaner milking parlor. You are doing amazing bringing the farm into the present.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Im very excited as well :D

[@GrahamWP58]

Back in the 70s i worked on a dairy farm and also carried milk buckets to the dairy on the farm, filling churns and cooling it before collection next morning. All manual handling back then, your Uncle Mike brought back memories. Onward and upwards with the new parlour.

[@johnpowell239]

Another interesting video Tom. To think your uncle and dad started that dairy 60 years ago and in 10 weeks time if all goes to plan they will open the new one. Love to hear all the reminiscing of older times.

[@teresaburnette3778]

I loved listening to your dad your Uncle and aunt and cousin. All my family are gone. I love listening to my dad and his brothers when they would talk about things. Thank you for the video I can't wait to see your Uncle's face when you get the new milking station in. please do a video on that

[@rickcordingley9831]

I'm not a farmer but have always been interested after spending time as a youngster on one in summer holidays. I'm amazed how excited I am about the new parlour and following your progress. Good luck with it all.

It’s a great project to see when it’s done onwards and upwards all the best to u and family

[@davidepool5884]

I was 1 year old when you started milking in that milking parlor. I also grew up on a dairy farm. We milked our cows two on a side in an old milk house. We were milking about 120 cows or so in that milk house twice a day and it took between 8 and 9 hours a day. My brother and I had to start working on the farm at a very young age. I don’t know how my father managed to milk the cows, keep them fed, plant and harvest the crops and do everything else on the farm before we started helping him. We started out feeding the baby calves. The day that I graduated 3rd grade my father put me on a tractor by myself and told me to drive it around in the pasture until he came back. The next day I started plowing the fields. A couple of years later he started teaching me how to milk the cows. When the 3 of us were able to do the milking by ourselves we split the milking into 3rds. We were milking around the same number of cows. Dairy farming and farming in general is a hard and dangerous life but I enjoy it very much.

[@teresabrewer2661]

Can't wait Tom 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Mike Pemberton, a blast from the past. Young farmers days late 1950’s Keep well

[@Digeroo123]

Looks like you could do with some hard hats. Looking forward to following along with the progress. I should imagine that when the parlour was built in 1961 it was the latest thing. I wonder whether they knew it would last more than 60 years. I just loved hearing how your dad would come home from school and bring his tea and sit and watch the cows being milked.

[@stacyscholes6760]
