Nice to see the progress Andy. Thanks for the update. All the best!

Going to be really interesting to see when it’s all complete and operational. Best of luck Andy with this project.

This is so exciting so thrilled your expanding the farm hope u keep expanding for many years to come Andy

I think it would be interesting to here from your father as he has to be proud of the way the farm is growing.

Holy Cow 🐄 The progress is sure visible, and looking good. I'm excited for your future and family. Thank you for sharing Andy

Impressive complex, thanks for sharing another great video.

Looking great on expansion project. Can't wait to see rotary deck put in.

Compliments to you Andy and your family for running a successful farming business 🚜🐄👍

It is great to see such and expansion, and we can just imagine all the planning it takes to follow through and make this all a reality. Nothing is simple any more from permits to regulations so we wish your families all the best and trouble free success. It’s very interesting to see this all take shape through time . Years ago we would get an aerial photo taken of our farm yards and how in time we expanded, we were very proud to have all those yard photos as pictures of the past over all the decades. It is something that you can see and be proud of being part of all that and showing grandkids later on .

wow... iT'S GREAT..Thanks for the update. It's looking so nice. Glad to hear you out in the field planting corn, in between rains.

Thank you for showing this to us! When you get it done, it will be great!

I applaud your energy to oversee a project that large

That is an impressive project. The know it alls need to remember that whatever else happens during this project those cows need to get milked every day

Hi Andy ! Thanks for the update , your construction looking very good . Thanks Andy for your time and have a good day at the farm ! 🙋‍♂️

Looks really good Andy, hopefully we'll get to see carousel in operation. Thanks for all your interesting videos. 👍 I remember very well when power went off, hooking vacuum hose from Surge milker to manifold of tractor! How things have changed.😁

It is rare to watch an expansion of this scale come to fruition stage-by-stage. With your thorough play by play, everything make sense. I have seen a number of expansions - but none where it's so well documented. Your family is making a real contribution in our local economy and I wish you success and good fortune as the years progress. Hard to believe that the Navarino Fire Station expansion was in progress just down the road at the same time 24 years ago in 1999-2000.

Thanks Gary for the comment

Another great video Andy, I love seeing all the new additions.

Nice facility you have Andy!!

Looks awesome Andy, so happy for you and your family. You are building quite a legacy. Will you be able to show the parlor etc in use when it's done or will it still be "off limits" to the videos?

Thanks for the progress report 👍🏻

Truly amazing project well deserved and needed for years to come.

Another good one Andy 👍 🐄🇺🇲

Great video coming along great 👍🚜

Great video Andy thanks for the update on the barn construction. Stay safe

In the last one he said all the kids want to stay and work the farm, so expansion was in the cards.

@Otherrandomguy42

@@hedge685 diversification woulda made more sense grow other types of crops on some of the fartherest from the barns land. Given milk price is terrible I can't see how continued expansion is the right move.

That is going to be a huge investment.

​​@@toddmatson4179not necessarily no. That's the biggest problem every farm wants to keep growing and producing more milk for a market that doesn't exist and keeps the price suppressed. When milk price goes down if every dairy farm in America culled the bottom 10% of they're heard and took the excess milk from the least profitable cows out of the market price will go back up but instead they look at it backwards and want to add more cows to maintain the size of their milk check. And just because you're getting the same size check doesn't mean you're making any money when you have to increase expenses to maintain the size of that check. Not everything corn producers selling corn for $4 a bushel so they all want to produce more corn to try to maintain their income not understanding that the more corn they produce a four dollars a bushel the more money they're gonna lose.

Time to put a number on the crawlers so you can identify them lol

You have access to some serious cash Andy 💸 💰 😮👏🍻

Its kinda small 😉looks to become a decent production area. Can appreciate watching a family putting it together.

What is the capacity of the turntable going to be? How many cows can ride?

What are your expansion plans? You are at like 1700 milking , going to ? Is there a cap with land etc ? Do a video on all that with one of the drone vids.

When you going to build a bigger work shop? More cows=more equipment=more maintenance

Why timber for the cubicle sheds Andy? Cheaper or able to take snow better? Things are coming on nicely.

Couldn't you use the old parloir or part of it for sick, medicated, and hard to handle heifers?

We don’t have enough of those to fill one side

When's the Cowousel coming?

thanksk

Those JLG lifts are made near home in PA

If you just drilled a well a few days ago for the new barn what did you hook up to to the one you had drilled a few months ago? Or am I miss understanding you

We didn’t drill a well recently

Upgrades are looking good but I have 2 questions. When is the shop getting an addition and what is the reason one barn is steel and the rest is wood pole barn?

Can’t clear span wood structure that wide…. Wood cheaper to build.. shop will be in a couple years

@mikebougher3731

@FarmingFixingFabricating I had a feeling it was because of the width. Its hard to tell how big the buildings are in the video.

Andy just wondering why you dont have solar on such a large roof surface area on your sheds . Cheers from Australia

@user-lr4ht1uw1z

Ай бұрын

Solar is garbage

@Otherrandomguy42

Ай бұрын

​@@user-lr4ht1uw1zno it isn't. But the more logical question is why don't they have a biodigester on a manure pit to produce their own power and sell surplus electricity, I mean their electric bill is massive it would pay for itself in 5 years or less.

When will it be up and milking in the barn Andy ?? Thanks

Massive.

👍

Do the cows ever graze outside?

When is the projected start date of milking in the new parlor

Next is a super shop?

isn't it modern with milking robots in the US. Here in Denmark it is widely used

You have alot going on
