A farmer is always resourceful to fix problems. So lucky to have good hay weather.

Now we know the wisdom of the old saying, "making hay while the sun shines"!

Happy Father’s Day to Kevin and the Rest of the Dad Viewers on this Channel. 👍🙏

Thanks so much!

Miss Rhonda, next time you go Tractor Supply pick up a couple of pocket knives,maybe a pouch and put that on a belt. Put that where you will see it every day before you walk outside, and have a knife for yourself. They may even have one in pink ! You using a tape measure as a knife on the fly was outstanding. Don't ever under estimate Miss Rhonda !

Kevin is a true farmer - able to multi- task and multi-use any part of equipment.

Great job Ronda, Thank You👍🙏😎

Holy cow, that must have taken a long time to cut through twine with a tape measure! Now that takes some patience and wisdom! 😅

It took a while! Plus, it was in a hard to reach place, so the cut was slow going. 🐌 😄

Not many people would have thought to use a tape measure for a knife. Nice work Rhonda. A pocket knife would be nice to have in a case like this.

I sold Kevin the New Holland big square baler when he bought it new. Enjoy watching your videos and hi to everyone.

Yep The tape measure - I would not have thought of that either , Very good .

Great job!!!!!!

What a sweet lady; "I slow down and watch for baby Deer". Those bales are pretty big not sure what they weigh or how many small bales they equal, but it would be a lot easier to pick up because you use a machine!

@acresofclayhomestead

Our bales weigh 800 lbs, and there's about 20 small bales in each bale.

Smart lady I never would have thought about using a tape measure for cutting something, happy Father’s Day to Kevin.

Those hydraulic hoses can be a real hassle, my youngest son and I have a lot of older equipment and we're dealing with a broken-worn out shoe on his discbine, so we just bent it down and finished the field he was in. Us farmers just do our best, given the circumstances. Good luck on the rest of the season, I hope all goes well and I want to wish Kevin a Happy Father's Day!

There is always troubles on the farm....Good thinking on the tape measure...At least you got it done...Stay safe and see you on the next one

What is this a farmers wife NOT caring a pocket knife, LOL Love your videos.

Smart lady🎉.

Good job with the MacGyver skills using the tape measure Ronda!

I'm sure a lot of viewers will be sending you knives to be permanently kept in the cab of the tractor to help deal with such issues as twine cutting. Excellent thinking outside the box! A tape measure saved the day.

Green Acres of Clay, You look good behind the wheel of that Farm equipment. Thank you for another wonderful episode. God Bless...

That was a good idea using the tape measure. I don't think I would have thought of that. Whatever it takes to get back to work.

Happy belated Father's Day to Kevin!!! Will we need to wish Seth and Ethan a Happy Father's Day next year?!?! It is frustrating when you just get something fixed, and the same thing happens again. Aren't all farmers supposed to have a pocket knife with them all the time?!?! (Ha!Ha!)

I have ran a few fawns through a conditioner. Always hated that but you can’t see them from the tractor seat and when they get scared they just lay down as flat as they can instead of running away.

That's what you call a beautiful country woman always figure something out 🍀🤠

Nice video, Rhonda!! Smooth sailing with the haybine and then a few problems 'crop' up. That's farming I guess, but you have a supportive team to get things fixed and keep going. Have a good Father's Day celebration and week ahead! 😀

thank you

Good catch on the oil line

Good to see you. I just cleared a bunch of small stumps in my small wet land back yard. I do not like the raw soil showing so yesterday I sowed some oats for cover until the grass comes back. There is rain today and more is coming.

Great video Rhonda n looking great 👍 driving the Ford also Happy Father’s Day farmer Kevin

Years ago I swathed a patch of brome. I got to last strip across the field. A coyote come out , if looks could kill I'd be dead! A couple weeks later I swathed the patch of Sudan grass next to it. The coyote come out , trotted away from me , sniffing the base of the windrow. It caught something , ate it , trotted away!

Another great video! Thanks for sharing!!!

Hey Rhonda, looks like your doing a great job, we too bale a lot of grass hay, we raise a lot of hair sheep and use it for replacement ewe lambs and put there feed over top. We have had trouble holding wind rows with 25 to 30 mph wind. Looks like you run a really great operation, your livestock looks like it is great shape!!!! Take care. Stan Ia.

I enjoyed your video so much. Thank you. Do you have anything special for Kevin for Father's Day? I was interested in seeing bunnies or rabbits along with the fawns. I realize that you slow down when you see the grass moving. That likely keeps you on your toes.

Great thinking using what you could.

Love your videos just real people trying to make a living God bless you and your family

A great vid! Things do break,or go wrong! Stay safe!

In the words of Sir Winston Churchill, " Never give up!" This is truly a farm family that knows how to get it done! I enjoy your videos.

Another great video from a great family !!! Thank you Rhonda for sharing !!! Very smart to use tape measure to clear the knotter!!! We always used a 268 NH square baler. One or the other knotters would clog up often. I have made do with a lot of different utensils before if I had forgotten my knife. Finally left my knife in the small toolbox where we kept the shear bolts. Please be careful and God bless you all !!!!! Edd

It's so disgusting that replacement parts are just crap nowadays and also if you have to order them it might take a week or two to get them.🤬 l hope you're having a good Fathers Day Kevin.

Great video luv the mf plate on front of the ford

You can give yourself a good cut sliding the measuring tape through your fingers and hand. Sharp like a long bladed knife but with multiple uses.

THANKS!

Por unos momentos imaginé estar conduciendo... buen trabajo 👏👍

You could be Mrs. McGyver ! LOL!

need tool box on each machine....nice green crop

Bravo Rhonda you are all awesome blessings

Good video good to see y'all

Very good video as always. Nice looking first cut.. with breakdowns you do what you Gotta do to get going. Your friend from Virginia.

good resourcefulness using the tape measure. I am careful not to let the tape retract fast and whip around because of the sharp edges.

16:51 ingenious!

Ronda. What you need on all or most of your tractors is what they used to be called a Suicide Knob. But I believe that it’s called a wheel spinner so you can do two things at once, hold the camera and turn the wheel at the same time Just a suggestion 😊

Hi Ronda, I have mowed my grass 5 times so far this year. But I just started mowing at another house for the first time and that grass is over 3 feet tall. In the 9 yrs that I've owned that house I've never let it go this long. It is seeding like crazy. It's clay soil too. Thank you for revealing today style haying. It's been over 55 yrs since I've done any haying. Good video. Good people. Bye for now. ben/ michigan
