Destructive Storm hits the farm

I don't think she wants to go come on dougie I don't want to go I think we got around two and a half maybe three inches of rain south of here like three grain bins there are three different farmers at grain bins fall over for that I know well just looking out here at our rye field there's a really big puddle it's a low spot but it's really wet and we as far as we know we didn't really have any hail so but but not here all we know is right here hitting the house and yeah so we got to feed the cattle of course and we're gonna head out and brave the storm I'm gonna put these in the mailbox all right and then I'll meet you in the shed and in the big shed yep okay along with the are don't look bad but it's somewhat drains along with people losing grain bin there were a lot of power lines that went down and so we lost power and this tractor is running our generator which is generating electricity obviously but here's a look at the Rye field right there and it's wet yeah there was some big wind last night it's my phone says it's gonna be raining for another like six hours which really sucks because obviously we don't need more rain I guess you could say that's no longer Lake sunny and that that's now like sunny do small lakes flow into oceans or rivers flowing down is that like an estuary without that is some that feeds a bigger yeah estuary the cattle seem hungry yeah let's feed them alright look how fast those clouds are moving they're going back to refill our empty so they're rushing back son of a gun I was hoping if I open a different door it would be nicer outside but it ain't the good news is we got all of our hay home everything bailed then there's nothing laying on the ground the bad news is we may have had a hundred acres get flooded out last night let's beat some cattle let's go see how much is in the gauge okay are you gonna walk are you gonna hop in the traffic today good gracious hey you see that mound of dirt out there yeah you can see how much right there all right dude here's your one inch yep you dump that out and you grab the rest of it Jewish but left and a fly doesn't rain flies last night - ain't nothing like France farming videos had to deal with what he did I I thought there at like four or five oh we had that last year we had all kinds of rain it's it's getting a little late for us to be replanting Plus you know by the time that found out spots do dry up it'll be way too late so it'd be worse though there's like sunnier buildings I've got that culvert we put way out back is doing its job yeah it ain't gonna do nothin up here should we go look at it no yeah no I guess we're on I drilled a lot of that all it takes few hours for it to go down it's moving afield gallons oh we have our last five pairs in here they got a really yeah that's bad pen but we have this building so you know this this good pen well you don't get three inches of rain it's a bad pen when you do so I'm gonna open the building up and then that way those five calves in those cows hang on then it'll be dry there you go and that's why we put a mound out there like that so they always got somewhere to go every time we pull out that generator dentists tell a story about the day he got it I'll have to ask him and Phil if they'll tell that story again i've heard it waaaay too many times but you might want to hear a little water in there let's see if we can get that to drain oh that stuff stinks you spat geez I'm like concrete who poured this don't drain good ah we are we're done with feeding we're probably gonna go do some field work rubbing on I don't know what we're gonna do maybe we can find some damage I mean there's some grain bins flying around somewhere which really sucks I feel bad for those that lost Riemann's I'm sure you kids some of you remember having not unlimited texting your parents probably yelled at you when you went over he used to always go over on our talk minutes but I guess he wasn't in trouble but if we went over on our checks he did pay the bill though so here's our first field of corn you can see they're a little tilted but not seeing any broken up they're not stripped either yeah so we didn't get Hale on this field anyway and look it looks alright hopefully they're stronger now you know if they've if they were three four-foot tall and this was the first big rain they dreams there might be some damage that was pretty interesting yeah so we were in Jeff's garage hanging out he said he got a message from the yeah I'm sure you got a message from the power Electric Company what's it called hey like back when you had to turn the handle to make film television work and they said there they are aware of over a hundred holes that are broken and so I think they have started to say yeah it might be a while and then BAM Jeff's power came back on I was wrong yeah but that doesn't mean we are yeah he's not a different line or something like that so we might we probably don't have power at our place but Jeff does which is generators over our place with that portable welder so it's nice that we don't have to bring that back over here and there's dad's first impression I'm pretty sure yeah Jeff killed that and we got to plant it all that water Oh doesn't look like you're gonna get a raise this year and here's a nutty bar our barbed wires holding so that's good that looks wet jump in feet first I bet you there's someone typing right now never never drive through water going over the road that's true you probably should yes if you don't know the road best friends best friend to the road that's our worst damage don't you think this tree I'm seeing everything yeah it's true and then there's branches way out there so I guess I guess the hired man aka Cole has to go out there and clean them up before harvest love that guns is that supposed to be like that dad looks like we got help coming here Oh holy schnikeys they got holes we might be in their way help is on the way that pole might get yeah let's see if Elly will come outside oh you're under there that's a first come on it's okay yeah she hasn't went to the bathroom for a good 14 hours so I gotta run to town run a few errands and there is some power lines that are down that I think we're gonna drive by and we'll see we'll see what that looks like maybe they already got them back up but there's a lot of crews running around trying to get things going hey are you okay is that the world's only corn palace holy cow yeah can I get two beef and Cheddar's and two chicken cheddar ranches and no no that'll be it thank you Arby's they have the meats yikes right they're just late too much going on today I could go swimming but it's kind of cold so right now we're gonna hook up the flatbed and I'm gonna go to here on grab some oil well cuz we got some projects coming up probably tomorrow J's bro tomorrow we'll be welding up some gates and maybe doing a little torsion the thought process here is well today I'm gonna spend about 300 bucks on oil well and we'll be able to make at least five gates with that when you compare it to one of those sue gates which is right there a brand new sue gate is like 300 bucks by itself what I what I like is that I get to make it the size that I want it to be exactly and we can make a lot of lot more gates for a lot less money I guess that's the cameras rollin up with these safety chains on I'm gonna go spend your money yah but I'm also gonna make gates for you yeah and I appreciate that I just want to go watch an auction online and sit in the house well go ahead I'm gonna yeah yeah thank you yeah [Music] whoa I'm not gonna lie that is way bigger than I thought I don't know if that's the right stuff yeah we wanted six of these we got six of those four would have just left I would have made a few hundred dollars today oh that is wonderful [Music] [Music] hmm better keep it strapped down overnight that way they don't blow away or nothing it was ridiculous it's like 3:30 p.m. generators still running powers not back on but like I said there was over 100 poles that were broken last night oh my got the power back on central electric just pulled in so it's good to go so we got power our pressure cooker was running I hope that didn't restart hopefully we don't burn our supper that grade in the best see these pens and these lots are in really poor condition now the good news is a lot of this is gonna start soaking in and next week we're get temperatures in the 80s so I do think in less than two weeks these pens will be looking about how they were looking earlier that pen you can see a really high mound right there another mound here and then these guys got a pretty nice mound right there so especially in two days they will have dry spots to lay indefinitely the weather is looking good a couple days that and I have been working on a couple of projects including fixing these gate entrances looks like right here is lacking but we did fill that we tore it all out we put railroad ties I got a video of how it looked after we set the railroad ties in gravel across rock so that'll be really nice jeez it's a lake back there and also that really bad one that we needed to get done down there which was the worst one on the farm we did that one a fixed five gates so far and that those were the five that we I mean we thought we'd do at least three but we got all five done and so that's really nice and here's some video of how that one looked over there there is oh I said this side you want this side yeah man this guy I gotta live with you can't get that fixed so anyway we're doing Slappy's just a good deed today and keeping him dry mm-hmm so I went with sticky I had forgot to mention so earlier I was saying how I was talking about that we are using the generator and how every time we use that generator you tell the story about how you you're about you bringing at home so okay on here yeah or you want them to hear you've heard it yeah every time we've used it yes go it's about eight or ten times but anyway Jimmy and I first married I go to a farm sale I bring home a bale Porter feeder I don't know three four things but one of them was this portable generator that costs two hundred and twenty dollars whopping that was back when when that was like a million yeah and and he actually had they were shackled shekels you know there was no cash there was no paper money baby my arms getting tired oh yeah so anyway bring that stuff home and she's like what's that thing for and then it sat in the corner of the shed for like five years but then for nine days one winter we used it and she kept warm and I've never let her forget it and I have to mention to her again tonight that remember that time I bought that generator mm-hmm yep all right so that's been a good buy yeah what you know I'm just happy that I remembered to ask you about that because I mentioned it like away at the beginning well I'm happy that you asked me because I wanted to tell the world that I'm not always wrong mm-hmm so we didn't do too much today but there was a lot of water and it was stormy and the powers back on we're just like y'all knew P says it was a dark and stormy night mm-hmm and so hopefully you didn't completely hate this video thanks for watching and we'll see you next time but we could talk more I have a good one I got lots of stuff dude my arms are tired okay have a good [Music] what's up the cows are fed that's good Mike
