The pigs are becoming archivists of the past century, digging up the memories and things that mattered back then. Toys, music, power, lids and the empty coke bottle when the coke pop was bought for a nickel.

[@rodfair5698]

Seriously, this is Class 1, grade A , entertainment . It can be light hearted, or serious. But, all of it, enjoyable. Thanks to you both.

[@tannenbaumgirl3100]

The previous owners was a real.....explicit....you know what. Simply cannot understand why people would be so careless about the land they live on!

[@johnwoods3434]

Just received my gifts from you and your wife (Saturday) , they’re all very nice. Just wanted to thank you once again.

[@julielemke3088]

The horse head probably had a stick come out of it so a kid could pretend they had a horse. They are called stick horses.

[@johndean1911]

Look at the bottom of the Coke bottle. You may find where it was bottled.

[@karenexner6848]

Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! Oohhhh, that brings back memories🤣😂

[@bevnelson3678]

Amazing what the pigs found.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Evan think if you keep looking you will find at least a toilet seat also lol. Have a great day.

[@richxts1357]

Evan, how about a update on your farm pond, any fish left?

[@jlf5072]

Bet that was a satisfying day, especially dragging away all the garbage from the pig area.

[@joio2094]

Can you please give us an update on the duckweed. Have the pigs eaten it all? How does the pond look? Thank you

[@corydriver7634]

🤣When you started pulling on that wire and it kept coming my first thought was somebody’s lights just went out. 🤣

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Doing a great job around there Evan, keep things as safe as possible. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

[@ivyturnbull7460]

Hello from New Zealand, Love your videos You and Rebecka are awesome. Watch that Billy goat.

[@roberto.peterson9917]

Used to have chest freezer with ice maker in it that really cool when needing lost on ice would just take out ice cude basket and the make would fill that section with ice cubes

[@henryknox1186]

Turkey Whisperer

[@workhardlivefree3818]

It was funny when we ran turkeys, they did the same... followed anyone around everywhere... when it came to slaughter day, the first 4 practically walked right into the crates... but after the 5th one they started realizing that their kin folk weren't coming back... by the last one, it was a Tom and it's inner ninja came out and beat the livin crap out of my Son who had been plucking them up. Luckily he had the welding coat on, but that Tom was pulling moves like Bruce Lee

[@kenthorsen4558]

Come Thanksgiving time those turkeys might not want to follow you around ! Have a good weekend.

[@stevet5238]

Many many years ago when I was young we had goats , my stepfather and I cut the horns off with a hacksaw as soon we got a goat .

[@skrtskit1521]

Im interested in what items Rebecca is buying at the auction/s. 💖💖🎶🎶😍😍

[@coyotiess]

Another Day of good work!

[@SFCRambo60]

I hate chest freezers, by the time you dig to the bottom it's either encased in a huge block of ice or you forgot what's down there. Uprights are so simple, you look in and see everything. I gave my chest freezers Away.

[@justme22250]

don't forget a freezer thaw alarm for your freezer guy i know just lost over $1000 of meat because his chest freezer failed and he did not notice.

[@darelbennett209]

I’ve always enjoyed your videos and you were one that I was always happy to see and that is what people want to see is just common down to earth people and remember you have grown with out being a Doug and Stacy or Arms homestead or Dutch please just be you

[@sonofsalt]

Hard ground? That’s one reason I like living in Costal Florida!!!

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB Easter egg hunt with surprises!! LOL!! I would paint that water lid white or red so its easy to spot when mowing, or need to find the turn off fast!!! Great ideas for the freezer! Are you going to work on the processing area this winter??? Great video as usual!!!

[@maxinerose6664]

Let’s us know where the coke bottle was from. It will be on the bottom of the bottle.

[@harlonlantz4094]

When are you going to work on the A/C again?🚜

[@keyboardoracle1044]

Would love to see a KZbin collaboration between you and Letsdig18 on a pond restoration, he isn’t that far away, NC.

[@rudyrivera7426]

Thanks for sharing! You’re day! 👍

[@lewisgardner1660]

When are you going to sort the water issue in the barn? It will soon be winter again and the flood will start again

[@justinauman5438]

I think with you skill and knowledge you should make a round bale wagon with the new running gear

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands . thanks for the video . Sincerely, Hollandduck

[@doncc6080]

Amazing what has been left from the previous owners over many years. If you ever want pigs that do not root. There is a hybrid called Idaho Pasture Pig.

[@roberto.peterson9917]

You could always raise the dirt by adding more fill ar add gravel Our view from camera looks like there be pretty good slope to the ground so adding more fill also possible

[@ithacacomments4811]

I have purchased plastic bins that fit my freezer. The bins make organizing the items so much easier.

[@marilynwitherell186]

Loved the video and enjoyed seeing how the pigs are doing.

[@georgedavidson1221]

I love thepigs.

[@ehrenfriedklemt4031]

[@tapovardhanraut9873]

Thanks for your Video it's awesome and very informative 👍

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Love the pigs. We had about 4-5 acres of land that my dad gave to the pigs that was partially an old gravel pit with one small pond. But the pigs were free to enjoy themselves. The gravel pit area had several areas where people had thrown their unwanted stuff, like old bottles, fencing, and much miscellaneous stuff that was accumulated during the places 100-150 or so year history. The pigs did a wonderful job of clearing out the land and made all sorts of trails for my brother and I. One problem at that time was there were no real areas to take trash to. (Out in the country in Mid-Michigan) So people just made junk piles. We bought the place in 1955 when it may have been somewhere a 100 years old. It was basically just a building with no amenities except a wood furnace and a pump handle for water.

[@larrycutting4514]

A former brother-in-law wrestled his ram to the ground and sat on him until he quits fighting. The ram didn't challenge him anymore after that.

[@farmerjackandroy]

Hi evan, that old wagon gear you got is just like one i have, i put a bed on it to use for hay years ago and it is one of the best waygons i have so i am sure you will like it also. Again a great video and thanks for sharing. Roy

[@hankfacer7098]

How handy are those pigs

[@bohhica1]

Yes I know, unscrew the eye bolt in post 2-3 turns, enjoying your videos, keep them coming! 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@CountryViewAcres]

Thise wooden gates are so heavy I didn't want to try to lift them off the hinges. So I hit the easy button.

[@kellyjoyce2399]

Those turkeys are so cool man!

[@SFCRambo60]

I have 4 turkeys and they are twice as big as yours. They are only like 7 months old. Also 4 ducks. They wouldn't eat the feed I gave them so I tried dog food and they eat that all up. But I think I caught them Barking. LMAO

[@hillert1967]

LIFE ON YOUR '''GREEN ACRES''' LOL. KINDA LIKE A FARMER'S SOAP OPERA. 😊

[@larryconley9438]

Evan great videos, great job.

[@jamesmichael3998]

Great job, if you look on the bottom of that type of coke bottle it has the name of the city embossed where it was filled. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

[@glennarositch3388]

Awesom video Evan!! Ur such a hard worker & amazes me how u can build, fix and rebuild anything.. Love the way u & Rebecca work together…such a cute couple!!👍❣️❣️(would love to c more of those beautiful dogs)..🐾🐾

[@roycobb7371]

Saw flies on you steers. Wondering if you follow goldshaw farms? Like you he has a couple (5) steers that were constantly pestered by flies. He solved his problem with big sheets of fly paper wrapped around a plastic trash can.

[@EC4400]

Knocked down that to do list! Great job, Evan. Say Hi to Rebekkah for us.

[@edithsavoy7156]

Hi Evan, I think the culvert needs to be trimmed a little more. An animal can catch their hoof on the edge of it and sprain itself.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I figured I would add a little dirt later.

[@kevechevroletcoupee4621]

I was laughing so hard at RHPS tape, I was hooked on that every Friday and Saturday night in 1979, I saw it 85 times!!!😂😂😂

[@jeffhollingshead8299]

nice buck

[@nickmastroianni5557]

You have a lot of time and money wrapped up in those freezers full of meat. I am sure that you have a large enough generator to power you through a week without electrical power if necessary - and sooner or later, it will be necessary. - but i thought I would inquire since I did not recall seeing such a generator..

[@johnzink3309]

thx again

[@russellpetrie119]

1930 the grass might need topping get rid of the storky stuff

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks 😊

[@gitatit4046]

Well Evan without the first frame being stripped down I'd say this wagon frame is in much better shape and longer too. And you're right what you got from the pig pen is just the tip of the iceberg. There's probably going to be some serious tractor work to get it all cleared out ... you might even find the rest of that horse in there. 😂 Thanks for sharing. 👌

[@waynejones5239]

If you put a deck on the ex ammonia tank gear becarefull not to turn to sharp or they will tip

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you

[@Tonetwisters]

"Don't you look comfy?!" LOL!! I'd be real tickled if that Coca Cola bottle said, "Green Cove Springs" on it! Used to sell advertising to a customer right across the street from that tiny little plant, now just a part of Coke's history.

[@lukerange366]

I would make some mills from chowey the 🐐

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@cliffblackburn8102]

Awesome video them piggies are really digging up the goods! Great job on that trailer score for that price and the tires hold air LoL

[@oldthudman]

Be very careful putting your hand down in side such holes (meter/valve)......At night always look inside with a flashlight........Down here in Texas Rattlesnakes love such holes......

[@matthewjohnson6360]

you should do some melting and pour your insignia.

[@SFCRambo60]

Wouldn't it be easier to get your tractor with the bucket and get some dirt to lay down around your water vavle hole? Easier to remove dirt than adding height to tube.

[@ciphercode2298]

Our property runs down to a creek and the previous owner had some of it filled and leveled. We're all the time finding old car parts,plumbing,fencing,you name it. Keeps it interesting at least

[@teenagefarmer]

Sounds like you got a great deal on that running gear. We have a freezer like the new one that you guys got and two other big ones . all of them are full. we have cows going soon, and Deer season opens soon 🤦. Thanks for another great video Evan.

[@daleh645]

This video is proof that there is always something todo on a farm! 🤠 Remember, all work and no play made Jack a dull boy, so take time to enjoy the fruits of your labors. 😎 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@2wwwilly]

Look likes your farm equipment doubling up ..

[@dalewallace8203]

That blade looks familiar it was cool meeting you and talking with you. Those pigs are natural scrappers it will be interesting to see what they dig up

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Amazing what they found

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Might have to adjust feeder to horns ?

[@Bex-rg8pj]

Great idea for a root cellar!

[@danabe3220]

I really like those friendly turkeys. I need to get some.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Lots of cleanup there, I have some to get done too, maybe over the weekend I'll get some done. Liked the wagon frame you got, it's a good one, you'll make a nice wagon out of it. Liked the video, enjoyed the interaction between you and the animals. Thanks for sharing, hope you and your family have a great weekend.

[@candisfirchau3810]

Comment on your 5x5 s fir fruit trees by the driveway

[@DinSF]

A suggestion. Add a window blind or something to the windows where your freezers are so the sun doesn’t heat them up and make them work harder Always something to do. Good thing you have so many skills and can do so many things😊

[@Mr.frag-out]

Can you post the models of the convertible freezers and fridges

[@jamesbrown8718]

Lol those pigs can find some interesting things out there in the fields for sure. Must have been a old burial site from farmers before you all bought the land. You all a beautiful place and it’s just getting better with all the rotational grazing you are doing.

[@walterchapman2884]

My wife is crazy about Yours lol has me a bit concerned lol. Where's Rebecca she always asks. She sending her a cap.

[@gophersk]

Sheep would make your farm complete.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

That was a job well done cleaning up all that junk in the pig pen area! Got all your chores done too!

[@quienvive675]

🦃 👍

[@terrycastor8299]

Always satisfying to knock items off the "To Do" list no matter how large or small the task. I can see a really nice hay wagon in your future.😉

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

They sure dig up a lot of stuff

[@frrapp2366]

my sister hatched out some wild turkeys once and they would follow you around like yours also it was funny to see them try to bunch back under their foster mom a "Bantam " chicken hen !!! :)

[@PapaRug.58]

The tires and rims on the anhydrous/hat trailer are with what you paid build a sub frame one put a deck on it as you thought

[@brettn4337]

G'day from downunder Evan. It's always satisfying to tick a few small jobs off the list. If that walkman could be cleaned up it might be the most valuable thing you find in the pig pen.

[@michellejaggard9657]

End of season garden update?

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

Evan, I always enjoy your videos and they’re always enlightening as well as educational. I love how you’re not afraid to tackle more than one project in days time. That’s how it was on our farm we did two or three or four things of the same day but there’s a lot of videos where they do one thing a night I have to go lay down or have a rest and I’m thinking that’s ridiculous! I don’t know a single far and take care of itself only doing one thing at a time each day. And I’ve also made comments to couple wives for not pitching in and helping their husbands on some heavy jobs when you’re standing there with a camera and you can see the husband is struggling about to drop lumber that they need to build a house or trying to back up with a full load on the backhoe/ Front loader in front of a tractor and it’s so full that it’s trying to tip well he is backing up and rather than just go over and help him and put that camera down she just keeps videotaping like she’s helpless. My mother would’ve never done that at the risk of my fathers life. She doesn’t wait to be told to do something and neither do I you just see the problem and get to it. I’m a very active female and no I don’t believe in a woman supposed to just sit and be taken care of only do Certain jobs.. Especially when weethey’ve got tripod and More tripods at the wa-zoo….It was one time the children were helping their Dad raise the wall which was Complete with a very large window that was I think 12 feet to 16 feet wide. Anyway he was the littlest daughter maybe five years old and tiny and so cute trying to help her siblings and Daddy raise that wall so it could be screwed in but she wasn’t even tall enough to get her side up and all of a sudden the wall starts to slip not only from raising it up, but come off the base Building foundation and you can hear her saying “-I’m going to lose it! EeI’m going to lose it” i’m sorry I’m not taller!! Cold and I’m just crying for that little girl trying to be the biggest best help she could be well the mom still there videotaping and not moving quickly to catch that side. What does it matter if we all saw the waterfall in the window break or the little girl gets smashed under the wall. Why didn’t she just stop and help that little girl out !!!! I don’t know when I’ve ever been More angry at a mother than I was that night letting that little girl feel like she was responsible for the failure of that wall not going up when it was really the mothers fault. I mean she’s not even 3 feet tall I don’t think trying to put up a 10 foot wall maybe only eight but I think they said it was 10 feet tall when they were give them dimensions… So thank you for your interest in Family Video’s and the hard work you do and we are going to follow you every time you put out a video and keep supporting you. Also, congratulations on 100K ++ You all deserved it and you have brought a lot of joy into our lives❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jazzerbyte]

I see the pigs didn't find any truffles among their other treasures!

[@1234eva4321]

I have stored potatoes in a fridge and they lasted easily until next spring. They did not turn soft and they did not sprout. Potatoes that are stored in a fridge can no longer be fried however. For me this is not a problem, since I never fry my potatoes. Boiling, steaming, baking and roasting is fine for me.

[@justinauman5438]

Can I ask why they can’t be fried I’ve never heard of this or storing in a fridge is the fridge turned on or is it off

[@1234eva4321]

@@justinauman5438 It is turned on. In the fridge some of the starches turn into sugars, which makes them go dark if you fry them in oil. So if you want to make french fries, don't keep your potatoes in the fridge.

[@rodneyj.6875]

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

You should fix that thing in the middle of the thing so it won't bend
