Hard to see the homestead go but the only thing constant is change, nice to see someone put hard work into salvaging and recycling, best of luck on your new projects, thanks for posting

600/1200!!!! That is Huge!!! A couple Million for sure!!! Wow!!!!

We are currently taking down our old freestall barn that was built in 1977 to make room for a new grain bin. We sold our cows in Aug. 2003, my Martin Luther King Day. Free at last. We saved most of the metal and lumber. We are going to build a leanto onto another barn. This was all nailed. It will take over 2 weeks.

No way to explain the sad thoughts of watching the changes. Also the fond memories of the home place. 🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for your family.

That's great to see getting everything to build your barn for free. Good job on everyone pitching in.

Rhonda, your beautiful silver gray roots are begining to show !

Safety! Those that live in glass houses do not throw stones. My days doing that type work there were no telescoping forklift. I left a post on a Facebook page and everyone hammered me for the safety. They spoke before thinking. That is cool work with that project.

Its sad to see family childhood homes disappear. The bright side is with todays cost of lumber and materials you have received a nice benefit for yourselves 👍

I suppose some tears have been shed as you see the family homestead go to another farm family. Praise the Lord you had a wonderful start to life there and your bringing some of it to your farm. May your parents have a great healthy retirement. God bless all of you as you expand for the future.

I would've liked to see the legacy continue, but i understand the kids not being into it. I hope the family can start a new legacy that can be handed down for another 100 years.

Rhonda, safety is always important being safe is more important. You and your family work everyday watching out for each other. Trust in your and Kevin’s judgment your family is safe, happy and care about each.

Boy oh boy! All of that material for taking will be a nice savings on the old pocket book! And with that much material, everyone could have there own personal work shop and probably have some left over. As we all get older, things do change. You are all definitely had working people and only time will tell if your kids will want to carry on with your farm. But thinking a little far ahead. We all have good and bad memories of the past, but its the past! Leave it there and create and open up new possibilities for the presence and into the future......God Bless You All ❤ 🙏

Kevin and the boys are pretty resourceful.

Congratulations to you for your acquisition of all the materials, so happy to see the structural components of the buildings being re-purposed, too many good materials end up in either a landfill, or buried, or even burned,right on the farm.Awesome work by your family!

Sad to see your home place beiing sold , but at least you will have on your homestead and have fond memories of you childhood every time you going into the shed , big job taken it down and putting it backup again .

Cool, family working together . Thx for Sharing

Thank You Rhonda for sharing some family history of yours to your subscribers. You and Kevin should be very proud of yourself and your family. I grew up on a small farm outside of Lansing MI. So I know that the work can be very hard at times. I can't say that I have ever seen a family such as yours work so hard. Congrats to all of you. Keep up the good work. I really enjoyed your garden tour of last year. That was the most beautiful garden I have ever seen. Keep on sending us your great videos. I enjoy them very much.

Your family gets things done. It would have been a shame to just wreck those buildings. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Congratulations to your dad on his retirement. Great score on all that material. I can wait to see what y’all do with it. I believe it to be sad to see the family farm go away. Kevin and you are building your own heritage on your farm. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thankyou for sharing Rhonda. It is sad to see your homestead go where you grew up.

Sad to see it leave the family, however at least it's not going to be houses and going to be a farm in the future. You can create new memories with the resources you are aquiring from the farm you grew up on.

ALL Great things come to an End. It’s Difficult for a Family Business to Continue from Generations 4-6 and to be honest, Extremely Rare to Find a Family Business between 4-6 Generations of the same Family. Your Dad sounds like a Smart Man and he made the difficult choice to Enjoy Retirement. GOD Bless! 🙏👍

Thats great that are salvaging the buildings instead of just tearing them down and burning them! Great work!! To many wasteful throw away people nowadays.

It's great that y'all can take the Barns apart and use the material on your Farm. And it also helps Y'all save a lot of money on materials. Y'all have a great Safe Blessed Day 🤗. Be careful 😉

So hard to see it go. So many memories 🙁🙁🙁

I sold our farm in wa. State,I never looked back! It was fun for awhile,and I went another direction.

Very cool on the history, and awesome that Kevin got the stuff to repurpose. Hats of to your dad or the new owners that donated the buildings also. I know Kevin and the boys will put everything to great use eventually.🇺🇸🐄☝️

Thanks so much for sharing your story with us always enjoy your videos

Farming is a business and one must do what one thinks is right.

I am glad to see that someone is repurposing all those materials. Most of the time they would either burn or land up in a landfill.

Sad to have to see the family farm go, but you scored big time on getting the building material. Take as much as you can of EVERYTHING. You'll find use for it some day. By the way, how you worked looked safe enough to me.

Milking cows has been in your family for a long time. The help you have with your boys really goes fast taking down the buildings. Good luck and be safe.

You will always have a part of the farm by you Ronda, that is a big undertaking for your family but if anybody can do it, this family can. Talk about a group of hard working people. I so admire this family.

The old dodge cleans up pretty good.

Thanks Rhonda 👋 Seen a lot of changes take place over the years. Time - you can't stop it. Just gotta roll with the punches. All the best to you all!

Nice Barns, There Well Worth Saving

Lots to come 👏👏👏. Safety favors the prepared so no worries

Excellent video Ronda with good explanation! Thanks for sharing.

wow! that is great that you're able to get all that material. Can't wait to see what you all do with it.

Bravo Rhonda Kevin Acres of Clay always great content and viewing impressive dismantling of buildings blessings always from NZ❤

Your family is so ingenious on recycling. You did a great job describing the process, as well as giving us your family history on the farm. One thing is the buildings may be gone, but u will always have the memories.

Where i live and farm in newyork state 250 milkers is a big farm!I am glad you got to re use the barns that will be a big help and cost savings .With the cost of building materials and things in general we are just holding out for better times to do any expansion!Cant waite to see what you do with the materials!

Glad to see all the material from that barn will be salvaged and not just knocked down and hauled off.

Great Video. Have a blessed night

Great to have a piece of your past at your current farm.

I will be watching everything over again. Some how I lost everything again so started over again.

Wow that's a lot of work good luck busy busy

Thanks for sharing this situation--understand it better than I would like to!

Sad to see your childhood family farm get sold. Good to see your family salvage all the parts possible. Good to see you get to use the materials on your farm. Your old farm lives on !! Thank you for sharing your life story.

Nice to see you guys getting all that building material from your parents old farm. I like seeing that happen rather then it going to scrap.

Good to see y'all again good video

Made the best of what he had . Moving forward ,Still sad But in the end for the best . Great video.

Enjoy hearing the history. All the best to your folks and brothers and there families.

Good Sunday morning Rhonda. From Missouri

Woooww. Lot of stuff ! How nice, to get all that steel. Stack it and sell it, too...my goodness. Love your ariel view ! Soooo saaad ! Hope you are ok, Rhonda. 💕💙💔💖💕 Bet your Mom and Dad are thankful ! That's the good part 🤗 It's finally their time to love again, and enjoy each other again. 👏🖒🤗 Send them our lot's of Love and Good joy prayers ! They deserve the Best life now !!!💓

Life goes on and change is constant. Here in East TN, land is selling like hot cakes. People are paying way over asking price just to get a place. 😬

I grew up on a farm in Ionia county near Palo. I love going out there and looking at the changes. And now it really is not being farmed. But the memories are priceless. In God's speed Amen.

Always sad to see a farm go but glad you are getting all that material. That's a crazy amount of work, and more ahead!

Going to be exciting to see all the new projects that will be happening on the farm coming up soon. That is one big barn and I am happy to see that you all got to take it down and put it to good use.

Thank you for letting us know that you are being safe and I hope you make more videos of y’all taking the barn down

Hate to see the farm sold, but having several relatives that have had dairy farms, I can kinda understand why they might not want to continue it is not the easiest life that is for sure. Glad you were able to get the materials for yourselves.

Growing up in NE WI (north of GB), I helped out feeding calves & youngstock as a kid. Once I was a teenager (14), I did the bulk of the fieldwork (plowing, disking, dragging, seeding/planting, cutting/chopping hay, cutting/tedding/raking/stacking small square bales and picking/grinding ear corn. My 3 sisters & Mom helped my Dad milk and take care of the other critters. I was also on varsity football & baseball all 4 years so I did most of my work in the field from 6pm to midnight and 18+ hours each day on the weekends. I loved it.

That awesome you can really you older building. But hard to see your home family sold.

Thank you for sharing your family history,i'm sorry to hear they are no longer farming there,but a least it will continue to be farmed and that you can take something from there and put it to good use on your own farm.I wish you and Kevin and your family every success for the future.

Doing a great job! Family working together is truly amazing! Keeping me entertained! Loved working on a farm in CT in the late 80’s.

It’s sad when family farms . I know it’s very hard in world of farming low rates derv machines & labour not enough money coming in I wish u all the best in future reagards Les from north wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 uk 🇬🇧👍🇺🇸

Wow, it is sad that your parents farm had to be sold but it is great that you are salvaging a lot of steel and wood. It is always good to see you and you did a nice job on the video!!!!

Good on you guy’s for keeping all of those materials out of a landfill. Reusing and repurposing is at the heart of all small family business, as well as being a sustainable way of living. Blessings and thanks to your parents for the lifetime of “Blood, Sweat and Tears” so that people could enjoy all the benefits of dairy.Thanks to all of your family for caring on the heritage and traditions that make our country what it is. I can’t even imagine how bittersweet it had to be for you to have made this video. Prayers for a bountiful season ahead!🙏🏻
