In this video my explains the history of our dairy barn.
Hi my name is Paul & I’m Organic Dairy Farmer South Dakota. I farm with my younger brother & we milk 50 cows. We are a 4th generation family farm that farms 400 acres in which we raise corn, oats, alfalfa, soybeans plus we do rotational grazing with our milk cows.
We have been a certified organic dairy since November of 2006 & we take a lot of pride in what we do & strive to produce the highest quality products that we can.
I hope I can teach you a little bit of something about organic farming also in process maybe have a little fun along the way. Don’t be afraid to think outside they box!

Awesome. Loved the history. One of my favorite things is farm history, hearing the stories and seeing pictures. There's just that special something about an old tie stall barn.

Great Tour! I enjoyed the memories. The barn I grew up with was destroyed in one of my uncles drunken rages. He urned it down and took the skidloader to the stone foundation. It was originally built in the 1880's and updated a few times, like the feed room and silo were added in the 1940's.

Wow that's quite a story Bill! I guess your uncle wouldn't be a pleasant guy to be around when he was mad. Thanks for watching. Paul showed me the picture of the major and the 770 in the snow. They look like a great team.

@@stephenfonder7409 yeah, he was an ass almost all of the time. The Oliver is a great addition, I need to get it in and replace a seal on the hydraulic pump. Makes good pressure but is leaking oil into the transmission. Thanks!

Hello this was pretty cool nice to hear the family history of your place. It would be nice if you could record again the upstairs maybe show the structure better? It was to dark to see this end. What do you think? Great idea on repairing the stalls. Reminds me of days gone by. Have a great day.

Cool history of the barn an silo. Our barn is a gambrel type 30 milking stantions with a box stall an couple calf stall an of course milkhouse . Which was built sometime during the 1920’s there is a pour concrete 60 ft silo that was built with the barn an a 80 ft by something diameter Rochester silo yellow an white roof an weather vain that was put up in the late 70’s. The story on that was there were 3 guys that worked on it my parents asked were are guys going to sleep? Will sleep in the safety net that was in the silo they said. Next morning. They got up mom an dad got to milking they silo crew got up an finished buliding all in all 2 days. An top that off She made breakfast that morning for my dad an the silo crew.

I got the idea for this video from a guy on KZfaq called Minnesota Bricks. He did some videos about the ACO brick company in Springfield, MN. The on about their silos is really interesting. Thanks for watching.

What was the limiting factor on barn addition for 18 cows? Why not add 24 or 30? Great video !

Is their a reason all you guys out there have the vacuum pump inside the barn? Seems it would be very noisey milking, most guys here mounted them in a little enclosure on the side of the milkhouse to keep the noise away. Seems every youtuber west of here has them inside the barn? I can't imagine cold being the reason as it gets cold here too and I don't every remember any issues with the vacuum pump other than maintenance.

@stephenfonder7409 2 жыл бұрын

I guess that's just the way people do it around here. But it certainly would be better for the noise like you say. Thanks for sharing and watching!

@tpfromcentralpa1692 2 жыл бұрын

I thought their might have been a reason, but I guess not..........Or maybe milking seemed to be a social hour here, neighbors showed up to help pass the time, can't gossip about the other neighbors if you can't hear!
