Awesome to get to know you and your Dad better! You were 100% the biggest inspiration to me for starting youtube, thank you man! Hope you guys have a great year of farming and in years to come! See ya in the next video!

Dennis, It's a great honor and privilege to finally meet you. Thank you for helping Eric answer some of our questions. May you and your family be blessed w/ less stressful times, good health, safety. Your a good man that has raised and supported a great family. Be proud of yourself. Job well done. Eric, What can be said that hasn't already been said a million times over. You've got a big set of shoes to fill and your doing a wonderful job doing it. Taking older traditions in farming and advancing them forward is not as easy as it sounds, but your doing it. Alot of us older folks have alot of respect for you. May you, Emily, and your lil girl be blessed w/ many great things, good health, and safety as well. Long live the cattle industry.

Your dad's answer to the question what would you do to upgrade the farm if it didn't cost you anything, says a lot about your dad's work ethic: "Could use another tractor to haul manure......but ours is working fine!" So even if money is not an issue he can't force himself to think about upgrading the tractor because the current one is working fine. Waste not. Want not.

Have you ever thought about expanding the business and buying some chocolate milk cows?

I'm atheist and agree. The way they do it matters. Just a quiet as part of who they are, not trying to jam it down anyone's throat. I find Christans - as opposed to hypocrites - are respectful and nonjudgmental. I think that's when we nonbelievers get defensive. When instead of just naturally mentioning it as Eric and his father do as part of their life and who they are, they preach at and/or judge those who don't believe the same. This is America. We are all free to believe or not and both should be respected. Honestly, many nonbelievers are just as bad and get up in arms as soon as someone mentions their faith and that's just as hypocritical. Can always tell the believers from the hypocrites though. Believers are content to let God be the judge. They trust him to.

Farming has got to be one of the most "well rounding" jobs you could have, especially the way you guys do it. Your humility about what you know and what your education is is admirable. A lot people hardly know anything other then what their one simple job is.

Your dad seems to be the salt of the earth type of guy I can see where you get your work ethic and common sense from. Hi to mom and the rest of the family, you guys are VERY MUCH appreciated.

My dad actually grew up, just down the rd from you guys, when he was 16 he actually worked at the farm across the rd from you guys, where then grain place is now. It’s really cool to recognize the area in your videos. Keep up the great videos

Wee did it we got him to 200k subs

10th generation dairyman had said that his dad might not be into a q&a but he seemed like he liked it. My dad would've only said, "I don't know."

Don't ever forget to hug your dad every day and remind him how much you love him.

For any Vocational Agriculture instructor in any public school system, this particular production is excellent. All of your You Tube productions are very informative and, at times, entertaining. Thank you both very much.

Good Q&A, good content thanks for the mention.

My dad and I farmed together,but I left, I miss it a lot ,I’m proud of you two

Glad to get to hear from your dad a bit. I'm blessed by getting to see other Christians living their lives and doing what the Lord calls them to. Blessings to both of you and your families.

This Q and A is really interesting. I am glad you talked about the size of your farm, expansion, robot milking. When I watch your videos the personal contact you have with your land and your animals is different from the massive dairy operations that seem more like factories. Like the difference between buying a sweater and spinning and knitting one. As modern people we are live detached from the sources of material life. I enjoy watching your videos because work, life, land, and spirit are all in one place.

Dennis has that quiet, calm demeanor that is so important when working with animals. Eric possess it as well. This is why the entire herd is so calm and gentle. Both of these men are great soles. Thanks so much for this video you guys!!! Love your channel.

I'm a dairy Farmer from new Zealand. I love watching the way you guys farm it's so different to us. Our girls are out in the paddock all year

Congratulations on 200k. Just recently came across your videos and am really enjoying comparing them to our farming ways in N. Ireland. I picked up on your Christian nature early on and it's displayed in your vids. You both are good stewards of what God has given, keep up the good work.

Great vid, Eric. It was nice hearing from your dad. Congrats on the 200K. Stay safe.

Awesome Q/A guys. Really appreciate it.

Eric that was a great interview with you and your father 👏 I watch you every time I can .I give you thumbs up 👍 all the time everything you do is like your teaching a class I would like to see that picture that you have of the farm maybe you might want to put a drone up and take another one now with the farm looks like today and put them side-by-side you guys are great Great video great family keep the videos coming thanks 🐄🐄🐄🐄🚜🚜👏👏👍👍👍🇺🇸.

I looked forward to this one! Congrats on 200K! And thank you, Dad, for answering my question about the changes you've seen over your lifetime. I was afraid it'd get lost in the shuffle. Interesting answer. I've been away from farms for 50 years and found the channel when I was writing a fiction story about a young dairy farmer and wondered at the changes and those were the two that jumped out at me most - the tech and the milk parlor. My uncle's farm had neither all those years ago.

Really appreciate the videos your family posts. Full time stay home dad(in the city of course, houston) so i watch a lot of yalls videos with my young son. Thank you for taking the time to make wholesome content for us! 👍

Much respect! May God‘s blessings continue for you, your family and farm.

To me it is amazing that that many generations of your family have been in the USA! I'm only the second generation of my family born in the united states! We come from Poland. My grandfather emigrated here at age 21

Respect to you both..... worked on dairy farms. Milking 270 cows in 20x20 herringbone parlour. 4 hours in morning, 3.5 in evening just the milking. Without the jobs in between.

Spent some time in Lititz in 2013 as my daughter was ill. I used to drive around the country and toured Kreider Dairy which was huge. Loved seeing the Amish Farms and we went to some farmers market near there and wow some of the foods there were incredibly good. Nice area.

Great job on 200k love the vids

I like your hands on learning, I only have grade 8 education and was able to become a plant Superintendent in a production factory that made plastic drums, fiber drums ,and other shipping containers. I just retired from their last December after 48 years. I also started out in public school before and after school carrying milk at a dairy farm up the road. I am also glad to see that you trust in the Lord.

Thank you for posting definitely feel like we got to know you on a real personal note. You and your dad are amazing farmers and keep it up thanks again

I live in Holland on a Farm with 200 milking cows and it's cool to see that we are doing the same things in Farming Only what i can say to you and your video's is love❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Wow. This was really insightful. Thanks so much for sharing this and taking time out. I especially liked hearing about the farms history. I think it's important to remember where we came from.

It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one that like working when in school. Fantastic job you guys do, keep it up.

Love this. Thanks and congratulations on the 200K!

Congrats on your 200.000 subscribers I been around since you only had about 3000 still enjoying the content keep it up

Congratulations on 200k !! Love the vids ♥️♥️

Awesome video, loved it. I'm a dairyman in Lancaster County as well, I was curious where you were located and was surprised it was so close. Thank you for the videos, I watch then when I can and get a lot of joy out of them!

This was awesome! Thank you for taking the time to do this! You have a Great Channel!! Been watching since the beginning!! God Bless!

Thank you to you and your Dad to give us your time to answer our questions, we appreciate it!

Congrats on the 200K subscribers ! It's always enjoyable to watch a channel that promotes family, faith, and good wholesome vocation. I'm glad to see so many channels are starting to highlight what our industry is about. It might not be the most glamorous occupation, but I think almost all of us can agree that we would rather do nothing else ( NBA careers aside). Keep up the good work and may the Lord continue to protect and bless your family.

I’ve been waiting for this, great to see both of you. Congratulations on the big 200

I LOVE when you were talking about the west having wetter years lately I’m going to give you a small idea of how wet it was lol, we have a 180 cow dairy we got our John Deere 7450 chopper so stuck making silage we needed an excavator to dig it out and we pulled our 18ft chopper box in half with only a half load😂

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You and your dad answered a lot of my questions that I never asked. I am always inspired by hardworking entrepreneurs who dedicate themselves to their families. Ten generations is something to be most proud of and I look forward to seeing your eleventh generation in upcoming videos.

Thanks so much taking the time to answer these questions. You covered about all that I had in mind. God bless you all, keep you safe and working for all of us out here.

Well done guys! Had been looking forward to this Q and A

You both are very humble, and give God the glory. God Bless you and your family.

Great vid! You guys make a great team. My best memories are working with my Dad. God Bless you guys.

Thank you for this video👍 I just wanted to say that one of the biggest regrets I have in life is not staying on the family dairy farm. I decided at age 25 that I didn’t want to work 7 days a week. I have been driving tractor and trailer since then I’m now 48 years old. I drive a milk tanker now which is ironic because the milk has to be picked up 7 days a week lol. I pick up milk in southern NJ there are only 9 dairy farms left. Thanks Eric

Same. I left farm country when I came of age. I'm 62 now and find myself missing it and my daughter and grandson don't understand, have not been exposed to farming and the country enough. If I had one thing to do over, I'd stay in the country. If for no other reason than for my offspring to understand my interest in it. My family farmed since the 1600s here in New York and forever in England before that. Only one uncle stuck with it but we're uncountable generations in.

Which molasses you use in your cows feed ? This is urea molasses .

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your farm!

Eric. Congratulation on the 204k. ( at the moment) The Q/A was great ! Always watch. 👍.. Washington County, PA.
