These videos are wonderful. Especially for the next generations.

[@glennschroeder5140]

Very interesting. My grandparents lived in the grygla, thief river area for generations . It’s really interesting to hear the stories from up there. Boy there must’ve been some tough people plus the harsh winters . Thanks for sharing and when you say Uffda now that brings back memories 😂

[@robertsndral7376]

[@haugenfamilyfarms]

We are very Norwegian. 😆

It is so good hearing the stories from the "old" times on the farm! We tend to forget with all the "labor saving" equipment these days that so many farmers put in such incredibly long hours. Growing up on the farm in the 60's / 70's I can relate to some of these experiences.

Bringing back memories for me. We had two dairy farms in Southern WI and the mid 80s were hard. One farm of 150 Holstein was sold out, the other same size farm survived until the early 90s. I left them and joined the military in 86 just after the first one sold the dairy and went to crops.

Love hearing about the old days, thanks!!!

[@edwardallbeck1089]

I always enjoy seeing the old pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

[@user-ni8ye9wo8g]

Great video guys. Love the history. Watching the old machinery makes one thankful for today’s technology. Those old timers were hard workers.

[@haugenfamilyfarms]

You got that right!

John Deere Days! When I was a kid, all of the kids at our small school (late 50's-early 60's) would walk over to the community hall for lunch and to see the latest JD product movie. It was a BIG deal. Great memories!

[@haugenfamilyfarms]

Very cool! Much simpler times back then.

[@tomf1060]

When you are a kid, EVERTHING is simpler. ;-)

[@austinmoe433]

I’m enjoying these couple videos!! Brings back memories with my grandpa and the siblings on my grandmas side. It was probably a harder life but I honestly think a better one then we live today!! I will say one thing.. this world would be a lot better off if we all sat down and took the time to listen to what the older generation has to say!! I picked up a new farm this past year. The landlord is 91 years old… the stories he has and the places he has been!! Thanks for this 😊

[@haugenfamilyfarms]

I agree. The things the older generation have went through is remarkable!

[@andrewstich7117]

Thanks for the great video

[@billsauberlich7337]

Morris is a wealth of knowledge,and remembers small details from decades ago,when he was discribing flat bars behind a sickle mower to windrow the hay ,in our area they were called a pea roller, we also have a farm with blue clay on it and we had the exact same experience back in the 70s with a coop knifing in anhydrous, they were using it all over the county having no problem pulling it until the got to our field and had to shift down about 3 gears

[@scottpykare801]

[@markpeterson6836]

In the late 90's NDSU was actually still doing feasibility studies as to if we should swath soybeans or make the investment in a flex head. Of course a flex head paid for itself quickly, but there was a thought that guys could use their swather that had been abandoned.

Thats what it takes to establishing a homestead back in it time ...I felt worn-out just listening to him...I was the oldest kid in 60's had 800 acres I'd work some long hard days ..but not a dairy farm just beef...waking up at 4AM was 2 hrs earlier then my chore time....My hats off too him and his brothers...Bet the Mom and the sisters raised a nice garden and cooked some fine Meals in the farm house...To all your family's keep up the example and Walk in GOD ways..
