Time flies. Hard to believe i've been watching this channel for five years now! I was wondering after your mention of your first video and easily found the first video I watched which was Milking Cows on my Family Dairy Farm which is labelled five years ago..

My mother comes from a long line of dairy farmers, long enouigh that I actually chuckled at the 10th gen brag, with apologies, At least you're still farmng. Most of my uncles sold out and went to work for GE here in upstate NY in the 70s, but we had dairy farmed here since the 1600s and in England before that. I could not even tell you how many generation. Enough it's heartbreaking that all but one sold out and went to work for GE.

My fondest summer memory as a child was the summer I spent on the one uincle's dairy farm when I was 12 and still is. But life and circumstances took me to the city and all in all it'd been 50 years since I'd been on the farm because he sold that one and bought one more distant that I just didn't get to. Obviously influenced by that fond memory, I was writing a novel where the main character was a dairy farmer and it occurred to me how long since I'd been on a farm and did a search on milking (as there was a scene invovlig that) in the YT search bar because I was sure it had to change in all that time, especially given the addition of computerized equipment.

I was searching more for a family type dairy farm than the large corporate farms and that video came up. It not only showed me what milking was like now vs then but I've been hooked ever since. Doesn't hurt that you like my characer were a young farmer in his 20s working with his dad. I don't always comment but I do enjoy this channel and appreciate the view of dairy farming today instead of just having memories half a century old. Thank you for what you do. Both in feeding us and showing us what it takes to do so. I apologize for the long comment but I had to say it all.

It has been great to see you and the farm evolve over the years. I have learned so much about how our milk is produced. It is a far more complicated process than I would have expected. Looking forward to seeing you progress more and continue your success. Great video. Thanks.

The farm looked a whole lot different back then. Thanks for sharing another chapter.
Nice editing.

[JJessee]

I would love to see a video were you talk about the differences and upgrades to the farm since starting the channel. I watched a old video yesterday and I couldn't believe the differences.

We have the same problem as you do, our silo unloader gums up on second cut alfalfa Haylage. What we do to solve the problem we bring a garden hose up with a garden wand and we set it up so the water sprinkles onto the feed. We turn it on for about 10 minutes per day. The silo unloader doesn’t gum up anymore. 🇨🇦 be sure to set a timer so you remember to turn the water back off.
We are enjoying your videos.

Those of us that farm know that when the harvesting is done you're not done with your work, all the cleaning, lubing, repairs prep for winter and more has to be done. You guys are doing great taking care of your fields, animals and equipment, nice to see you're on top of all that needs done, good job. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and I want to wish you all a great weekend!

I have a feeling that in the near future you will be building a shop over the old silage bins. I will be watching for it. Love your channel!

[beckyumphrey]

Great video. Awesome to see.the new feeders working out so well. God Bless your farm.

18:45 Could part of the bunker silos be converted to a shop? Maybe 30x50. Roof, door and electrical. I always enjoy, thanks for sharing.

[karencary]

Always something to do on a farm. Thanks for including us. I've been with you since 2018. ❤❤❤❤

[Bdogzz]

So I got curious and looked it up. Ive been subbed to you since June 26, 2019. Cant believe Ive been watching you for over 5 1/2 years! I even got your first hat you released a couple years ago. Still make it a point to drive by the farm every time I go to Shady Maple. Those new silos make it so easy to find now. Keep up the great work!

[donnamcnichol]

Bonjour, je suis abonné à votre chaîne depuis quelques années, je suis éleveur français, je regardais beaucoup les images mais ne comprenais pas toutes les explications. Cette nouvelle option qui traduit vos paroles est vraiment géniales.
Merci pour le partage de votre expérience.

I haven’t seen many of your videos but your cattle are always so amazingly quiet. Must be happy girls

[jeffmcbride]
