Making Hay in South Dakota *Satisfying*

hey good morning guys how's it going I bet you notice it right away you think they noticed it dad that's right I got new jeans anyway today's the day we're gonna start hand we do have one issue though you can see it right here this wheel bearing seal is leaking bad and this right here doesn't look terrible when you go on the inside oh good lord it's even flying up on the tractor right there we're not ready to get it fixed yet so we've just been topping this off basically every time we use it and so dad is grabbing that stuff and we're gonna fill it and then I'll start heading down the road it's about 8 a.m. and it's supposed to get to around 90 90 low 90s today and so we want to get rolling on this because if it gets too dry we'll start losing a lot of leaves on our alfalfa so we got two small patches of alfalfa to rake and Bale and yesterday Jeff had cut our big piece or 70 acres and maybe tomorrow possibly not but in the next two days we'll be able to rake and Bale that and then hopefully we can get bales moved and then hopefully we get arraigned because it's kind of hot we could use the rain oh you're standing in my light sorry I didn't do it yesterday Ellie was so hot usually she runs around and then lays in a puddle she was just walking around and then she had to find a big big old puddle to lay down in the dog days of summer as they say huh is it still spring I don't know stuff gonna start feeding the cattle he's only got two loads to do and then he's got to grease that baler because we haven't greased his since last year but we got it all hooked up and ready to go so I'm gonna hop in and let's let's do this thing I better get a water while I'm driving to the field here's some drone video of Jeff cutting the hay from yesterday [Music] your little moist little moist bottom needs need some sunlight so we'll flip it let it sit for quite a few hours and that'll bail it [Music] [Applause] oh wow I just love this time of year I wish I wish that you guys could smell what I can smell right now you people out in like New York or some of those big cities if you've never smelt alfalfa you drive to your nearest farm and you stick your nose in it it'll change your life I guarantee it let's notice something not good so we don't usually have this quick quick hitch on here but I could see that the handle or just kind of that rounded part that holds the implement when I turn is rubbing on our hydraulic code usually we don't have this on here but we had it on here because we were spraying with the three-point the other three-point spray around here we should be done with that three points so I think I'll give Jeff a call have him run out here and we'll take that off then the leaves are holding so I'm able to go pretty fast I'm getting up to about eight mile an hour so I should be able to bang out some anchors quick sometimes when it's drier I get going down in that five mile an hour range and it just takes forever but the leaves are the most digestible part the best-tasting they're just best for the kettle and so we do everything we can like drinking in the morning and bailing at night to keep the leaves on [Applause] pieces ring side-by-side or bring pickup pickup that trailer on it I still they did play bike rack to bring practice so work hand he grabbed the right socket first time that's amazing never happened Oh yeah just started scraping here not terrible but yeah during on the end rows so we just got to go around the field three times and then we'll be on to the next field I know the windows need clean I'll probably do that once I get back kind of an announcement do you litterers out there this gets put in the Bale and we grind it and we feed it then a cow eats it sure you can guess what happens after that it's nothing good so quit littering heathens with their drinking their beer then beer drinking Ethan's go to church I can smell the gear oil from that leak up front but we're here at this next piece shouldn't take you long we'll get set up and get rolling I wish this camera could zoom but there's a deer over there just moseying on through could eat my alfalfa ladies I tell you what you stay out of this alfalfa here I'll bring you a bowl in like two weeks these are the girls we moved to pasture the 12 heifers two videos ago they've been staying in so far this fence is kind of low and I guarantee they can smell that sweet alfalfa across the fence a little wet it's gonna take a while I'm gonna head back home and I'll probably pressure wash this tractor off so I can actually see out of the windows and it's gonna take a few hours before we can start bailing I don't know how but when I was holding it up outside I got poo on me I don't know where it came from but how it's on my hands there was a little bit on my finger it doesn't make sense it smells awful the last three videos I either got cow poop bird poop or whatever this mystery poop is on me life is just taking a big ol deuce on me huh so after I got back we ate lunch and now it's 3 o'clock we had some weird weather you can see over there it's kind of dark it sprinkled for about 20 seconds we wouldn't check the hay and that first field we did is still a little too wet but the south field is ready to go besides the fact that it's too dry now about it's humid and when the Sun starts going down that stuff will get a little wetter and the leaves won't be all crumbly so we're gonna pressure wash this off now give you a little look on how bad this seal is yeah look at what that is it's a mess in here so we're gonna hopefully get that work done soon I guess it's 3:00 I got hot and frustrated so I'm gonna spray some weeds it's 90 degrees out here so we're just at that 15 foot of grass that we put along here so when we move this fence we don't got to tear it all these trees there's a few weeds coming and since just 15 foot why it's really easy for me to take care of it so that's what my plan is how's the shade I'm glad they're utilizing it like a lot of those girls just sitting in the Sun as long as I can remember if I couldn't do something and dad was standing there I'd usually be younger and he'd say okay daddy do and then daddy would do it the power of the daddy do didn't didn't do it I smell gas let her rest for a good hour and a half it better work I didn't even wanna pressure-wash it anyway time we tried to start it it's about seven o'clock 6:00 6:30 6:45 and then we're gonna eat and then dad's gonna start bailing order ask avail you don't let me that's why I like it all right so here we go last try ready Ellie yes [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] 25 20s all polished up she looks all right it's time for supper Ellie what do you got did you really do that this dog I tell you what you know mom's not gonna be happy when she sees this birth goo up here you know and we're gonna touch it no matter how it feels all right let's bail that's my plan yeah oh that is bad Oh I don't know that one all we could do this yeah I can do it sometime tonight but right now that's halfway decent with the stuff on top is real bad see we could we want this but we'd end up with this [Music] okay let's hope we can do something I'd say if we're gonna go we're gonna do this one what do you think Paul well I'm pretty disappointed hoping we'd bail but the conditions ain't good I guess we got to do what's right huh I don't have to but I guess we can try as long as we're not that busy now oh and here's four rows of grass that I forgot to rake as I was raking that first field of alfalfa but hey there's a rabbit all kinds of wildlife around here laughing at me forgetting to do stuff so I guess tomorrow we're gonna be busy in the morning dad's gonna be bailing in the morning those two pieces and I doubt it but that's 70 acres that Jeff cut a couple days ago two days ago that was on Sundays today's Tuesday I probably look at it humor myself you know freaking Thursday but tomorrow will be Balen and I guess I am moving bales and probably have a video that just went out a you see the salesman leave the earlier today yeah what was that about manure spreader salesman oh I was just getting kind of kind of falling apart did you make a deal no I didn't buy one why's that well I asked him if he'd stand behind it he said no poor salesman feel like half this video was us trying to start the pressure washer that's the highlight of the game yeah so I asked you to watch the first half again and then quit there give this video a thumbs up thanks for watching and we will see you next a little thing there might be some hidden treasures like cats laughing he's back [Music] oh she ate like half of it important pieces
