Putting The Final Seeds In The Ground

dad's leaving me once again sawyer's a key player yeah i'm gonna run over and get that because i don't want him i don't want him to wait on us it's a long and twisted road to over there and back i could stop and get a pop maybe won't tell sawyer that though [Music] [Music] good morning everybody it's another beautiful iowa sunny day i'm starting to really really love this weather i can take this weather all day long nice 70 degrees in the morning a little bit of a breeze not too hot not too cold dad currently is in our south field chopping stocks i'm getting that ready to go for david because dave is coming here today and this morning to plant soybeans into that field and he's going to try to get all the soybeans planted today and tomorrow so while they're doing all that i'm going to get the morning chores out of the way i'm gonna tour my site i'm gonna throw the double site and i'm gonna tour site two oh and one other thing i forgot to mention we're getting baby pigs this morning around 9 30 10 o'clock so hey good morning it's uh about a balmy 60 degrees it's a little before 6 a.m no i i did not just get super smart overnight i just found my glasses i just don't wear them very much and then when i do wear them i usually lose them i'm going to fuel the tractor head over there and get started sawyer is going to chore and then when he's done with that i will uh i'll hand it off should be another fun-filled day of laughter and learning we don't have to go very far we're just going across the road so i'm not in a big rush nobody's really uh started their day yet so pretty light traffic got off a little bit trying to do too many things at once so one thing to know about farmers we like to pretend like we got a real independent streak in all of us but to be honest when that first farmer pulls out his planter in the spring it may or may not be fit but once that first planter comes out boy howdy look out everybody's going there now the chores are done the new baby pigs are getting close to showing up it's around 9 30 said 9 30 10 o'clock but with the spare time that we have before the pigs get here dad quit chopping we're gonna go over to david's farm and we're gonna go pick up the seed tender so we can use that to fill up david's planter what do you got there fresh baked well fresh from the freezer chocolate chip oatmeal cookies is that going to be your breakfast for the morning to breakfast of champions right there you think we have time to get there and get that part and get back before those pigs come well how long does it usually take when he says he's on his way 20 minutes probably not so i guess we'll just go up to site one you can get all the gates open and i'll eat my cookies by the time i'm done it'll be time to unload pigs do i look smarter you do look smarter i found my glasses where were they shoved underneath the front center of the front seat of the sequoia i have a hard time keeping track of them i wonder where i get it your mother the truck driver called us and he said he's on his way so he should be here in 20 minutes and david's farm is probably 10 15 minutes away so we figured let's not cut it very close let's just get the pigs in we'll pin them and then we'll go grab the seed tender what am i supposed to explain so what's gonna happen is dad's work david's gonna run out of seed so he's gonna go get the seed tender while i get the pigs in i'm getting again i'm i'm the toady i guess so i'm getting the crappy work out of it you have the most important job i guess anybody could go drive the truck and get the tender only the important people get to unload pigs i guess so dad's leaving me once again sawyer's a key player yeah i'm going to run over and get that because i don't want him i don't want him to wait on us it's a long and twisted road to over there and back i could stop and get a pop maybe we won't tell sawyer that though well dad's leaving me again what else is new he's he's getting in a habit of doing that so i'm gonna have to start leaving him sometime and have him do some of the grub grub grind work getting baby pigs in is just about one of the easiest things you can do as a pig farmer if they move good because if they're stubborn and they don't want to move and they hold up and they stop every five seconds then it can get kind of annoying because it takes a lot longer than it needs to but it's got to be patient with them we're going to get about probably 550 pigs or so today shouldn't be anything crazy but we're finally into the north building so we have a little bit we have a few pins on this side we got to fill up but this side we haven't got any pigs in so we'll put around probably 200 or so pigs here and then we'll run the rest down all the way to the end on that side secretly i think dad just didn't want to didn't want to help me unload these pigs and you know if i don't have my food in the morning or if i'm hungry i'm just a different person i get a little hangry and this is something you guys probably already know about me i gotta have my food in so these mixed nuts for emergency purposes only and right now i'm feeling awfully hungry i'm going to dig in so i don't have to yell at you guys [Music] uh [Music] well that was a good time just when you're by yourself you do a lot of you do it all you know you go get the pigs bring them up go get the pigs bring them up go get the pigs bring them up gotta do a lot of yelling gotta do a lot of hollering gotta do a lot of moving your uh paddle around so they get moving but you got them all in got some on this side and some on this side they gave us 810 i think instead of 550 so a lot more pigs than we expected so i'm going to get myself a little bit of water and then i'm going to try to count all these pigs out and sort them out because might as well get it done if dad's gonna go grab the seat tender as you can see i traded vehicles we gotta get rid of that truck that thing is so unusable anyway i backed up here and i didn't have my drop hitch i just had my regular hitch in and it's on an incline it was too high i went and stole davis skid loader but the 1840 couldn't quite muster lifting the tongue so their spare truck was here so i just liberated it so i switched the hitch and now i'm off like a herd of turtles i probably pissed away 20 minutes jacking around trying to get hooked on that truck but anyway i'm off so hopefully he's not out of seed by the time i get back yeah everybody's got their problems i just called david to tell him that i heisted his pickup and he said that's fine he's like yeah and if it just randomly dies on you there's something wrong with the electrical just pop the hood and unplug the wiring harness from the firewall and plug it back in that'll reset the computer and then it should go so you see it it doesn't matter it doesn't matter everybody's got problems i told david i said i'll just build up as much speed as i can not really and then i could coast the rest away but so far so good i'm about halfway back to our place so we'll see how we get along i would have loved to have showed you loading the planter but by the time i got back here he was basically empty and he just about caught up with where i was chopping stocks because we had pigs coming david's loaded and back to planting the pigs are unloaded sawyer's putting them away i'm going to finish chopping these stocks while he finishes up and then he's going to come run it so i can get a bite to eat because i'm just barely holding on the way it is now some epic drone footage check it out [Music] oh we're putting 52 to a pen and the last two times that i've tried to put pigs in a pen i've gotten 53 so i have to get one back but i think i got 52 there now so we should be good so i ran the numbers and how many pigs we got the ticket says we got around 817 pigs but according to my calculations we got 8 22. either they're off five pigs or i'm off five pigs that's the hardest part but i felt like i was pretty on with my count i think we'll just go with my count and i'll go ahead and text my field guy the numbers of how many pigs we got today yeah so they're put away everything is good to go there i fed them did all the nitty gritty stuff that you do when you get your when you get a fresh batch of pigs now it's off to assistant david fill the planter when it needs filled and we also got to chop the rest of the stocks on the field he's planting right now so we're a little bit ahead of him as far as chopping stocks goes so he's not right on our tail but he is in the same field as us so we got to get to chopping so he doesn't catch up to us [Music] so i'm at the store the other night looking for food to eat [Music] walking up and down the aisles and i see this dr pepper and cream soda like my two favorite sodas as a child heck yeah you say soda pop soda or coke first time i went down to the south waitress asked me what kind of coke y'all want i said uh have pepsi oh let's see what's for dessert carb loading i gotta turn around ridiculous i know what tork's gonna say about this whole how the rose run situation and just tell me to get one of the new tractors with the fancy turnaround things that's gonna be his response [Music] i know if you weren't here i'd still be talking to myself somebody's gotta listen well a lot kind of happened since the last time i talked to you guys so yesterday we finished up chopping all the stocks and david finished up planting soybeans 21. it was kind of crazy um after i got done putting all those pigs away and took over the bessler because i was i was just going and i was just getting those stocks chopped and you guys have already seen me chop the stocks a million times so i didn't feel like i really needed to show you guys all too much of that and david finished up planting soybeans that's gonna probably do it for this one guys if you enjoyed the video please give it a big thumbs up and feel free to hit the subscribe button you know i have been a little bit slacking in my post but we did just come out with a new podcast so bear with us we're trying to do a little bit of both and when we get our craft down i'll be posting a lot more on here again so that being said we'll see what we can get into next week thanks for watching guys we'll see you in the next one [Music] you
