Absolutely love the haying equipment in the video. Drone footage was spot on. Even tho you got rain the sky was beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you.

Out of all the farming videos that I view yours are the best and most informative. The drone footage adds a nice touch and I must say that the care that you have for your herd is immpecable. I grew up around dairy farms as a kid and I can't believe how much it has advanced. Baling hay in my day we didn't have bale pickers, it was all grunt work.

I love small squares, it brings back great memories! Thank you Jan for sharing your great farm life!!! stay safe my friend and God bless you and everyone on your

That's quite the operation your family has built over the years. I hope you and your siblings are very proud. You farmers out there are living the true Dream. Not getting rich with money but doing what you love.

Square bailers have always been something that amaze me. How they cut, aline, compress and tie that random swath into a perfect square. Nothing beats the smell of fresh hay. Great video once again. As always in Saskatchewan if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes.

After watching these videos, I am not only impressed with the incredibly difficult work but also all the skills required. They need to be engineers, high level mechanics and technicians, meteorologist, agronomists, animal husbanditry, equipment operators, economists, and much more. Underpaid and under appreciated. They seem to all have human skills as well. God bless each and every one.

Great video, Kid. You are a natural teacher explaining all the processes. Thanks.

That bale picker is so helpful, here in Chiloé, Chile we store something like 6000 square bales in the summer, every single one picked up by hand and lifted on trucks, then unloaded in barns. So much work.
Nice video.

Your drone & time lapse is fantastic... nice job Hann 😏👊

Thanks Jan. I always wondered how those square bales were made. I understand and appreciate much better after your fine demonstration. Blessings to you and the family!

I think... "It is what it is... that's farming" would make a great t-shirt slogan! =) Hope you and your family are staying safe & healthy!

Thanks for sharing a little bit of your day with us.
You are not kidding about not kicking the wind rows together for small squares. We raked a field for big round bales and then decided to small bale it, had to run the tractor in 1st low, riding the clutch. The upside, the bales were almost end to end, so not as much walking to pick them up.

All the family working, great farm you got there.

@3:23 That is a spectacular drone shot of the field, half made into windrows, and half not.

Love seeing the farm machinery in operation. The pick-up wagon sure saves a lot of laborious work. Thanks for sharing. 🚜 🚜 🚜 🚜 🚜

Great video Jan, those drone shots are really amazing, great stuff

[Pharphette]

Gosh, there’s a machine for everything! The hay bales remind me of mini wheats cereal. I’m a Canadian too (ON) and I can really hear the accent when you say “out here” etc. lol. :)

[matthewrenshaw]

Good God, small square bales....nightmares of my youth. Sweating buckets in either the hay mow or the field. I can still hear the chug of the baler sitting on the wagon.

[karlenejohnson]

Hi yan big up I love watching your farm and watch you working sometimes I sit a round the television for hours to watch the videos on utube.some times forgot I didn't eat I enjoy watching have a great day.

Really good hay you have made. Your baler and wagon sure beats making stooks of 24 or 32 by hand. Thanks for sharing your small baling and 545 is a good number of 10 acres. Thanks for another great video. Keep them coming.
