    All the farmers in our rural neighbourhood got together to help each other spread manure back in the day we called it a “bee” so no one complained of the smell. All the wives would help cook for the lady who’s farm was being cleaned out. It was amazing. We had wood cutting bees, Plowing bees, thrashing bees, corn harvesting bees. We just helped out each other. Great memories.🇨🇦

    I remember that. Everyone just went from farm to farm on various tasks. It worked great then you had people from the city move in and tried to turn it into a business. That’swhen it went to shit and people started losing their farms.

    In all honesty, while I'm def not craving chocolate milk at the moment, this is why I watch your channel over others. You don't shy away from any of the work, not just the dirty but what city folks would wrinkle their nose up and say gross at. I'm here because I love seeing the work that it takes to dairy farm and you show it. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing about all the manure challenges - it was interesting to see the ingenuity that goes into solving the challenges, whether it's manure or welding. Thank you for all the effort you put in. God Bless.

I don’t think many of our urban brethren realize how sustainable modern dairy production has become; what with the source of some of the commodities used in feed and the benefits of manure fertilizer. BTW, like you, I learned to stick weld on the farm; the skill came in handy when looking for summer jobs to earn college tuition. Nicely done, Eric!

The guys/adults usually eat first because the kids take forever and we go to the ranch earlier than anyone else so its not like were getting "complaints" from the kids saying oh you stink or something like that. But yeah no one likes the smell, at first I wanted to change my work clothes as soon as they stunk like pig crap, now I just got used to it and change the shirts every morning and change the pants every other.
