You must be a very proud father mister, seeing your daughter driving those horses and giving you a helping hand !

Always fascinating to hear how Jim communicating with the horses, they listen better than most humans.

Wonderful videos they bring me back to how we farmed when I was a young kid , thank you so much for posting them .

Great to see this, the last field I planted, with an old hand seeder. You wear it around your neck and it will hold a 1/3rd of a bag of seed or so. It is canvass or a heavy cotton canvass bag. You crank a hand leaver and a spinner throws the seat out in front of you as you walk. I don't know how the old timers did it, but I had my niece walk with me and tell me when the seed was hitting her legs , ankles , and I knew how far the seed was then throwing and I could gage calibrate myself so she could then walk home and I finished seeding the field. The seed so small I could barely see it flying out and it goes further than you can see. Anyways , nice video, Trudy did a great job with those 3 horses, 3rd grade..such an influential year, it surely was for me, Mrs. Tex was a calm loving Woman and one of my favorate Teachers, she was the one that broke my extreme intravertedness. (Shyness,, Great woman, as I am sure Trudy is too, , as the Apple, falls close to the tree.) Thank God for Godly Teachers.. Beautiful Field, beautiful work.. The cultipactor is very critical also to set that seed and provide the moisture wicking from the soil to germinate. Never forget that sound of those old style cultipactors. I think ours was 3 shorter sections offset, I forget, or am forgetting.. but simular to yours, sounded the same,, ah ha, thanks.. John.

I would love to learn how to drive a team of horses. That's true farming.

I love the way Jim handles those horses. The best I've ever seen by far! I'm so happy that I stumbled across your KZread channel! Keep up the good work!

Im 62 years old so great to see the old ways think i was 16 years old befor i ever ate anything out of the grocery store lol the only thing that wasent under garden was the house pig pen and mule lot thank u for sharing

you probably already know that i have always liked horses i've seen many horses on this the computer and i still have YOU as my favorite- congratulations you still do a good job

Thanks for the ride. You have caused me to regret selling my last team . Your horses are very well trained and behave well probably because you are using them regularly .

Makes me feel nostalgic, we just sold the family farm in Kansas that we had since 1870....

I like the roofs that are on the silos, not many like that left around the country any more.. I was drilling oats with horses way back in 1962,, one horse named Charlie and the other was a blind mare named Betty, great horses that were on a beer team in upstate NY once, Betty didn't look so pretty being blind so we got the team, anyway I was filling the hoppers and all the sudden the horses took off, the next time I saw them, they were standing in front of their stalls and the old Ontario grain drill was stopped at the door being to wide for the door, I was a long time living that down..

old dave I know what you mean, I’ve had a few runaways I would rather not talk about.

I love the way of Farming

We did exactly what you do but we used an little ford tractor. We had an JD seeder. We baled our oats just before they came to a head. took along time to dry out. And they were heavy bales. Cows loved them like eating ice cream.

I just started watch nd I see that I like you folks -dad seems like a really nice guy (good man) hoping you more-i'll just keep on watching

I really enjoy watching all aspects of working a farm. While I have owned riding horses, the fact that you farm with horses, is icing on the cake. I so enjoy the forestry vids also. It amazes me how much weight your horses can haul. Thank you for the effort in making the videos. David,. Akron Ohio

I like the horses they are different types of breeds but work well together what your thinking about mules.

I was wondering if you ever worked three or four together just the other day, when you were pulling that big log with the Belgians. Now I have my answer. So since you are near the Almanzo Wilder homestead, I wonder if anyone around there still grows oats and peas together as fodder, as he described doing? I hadn't heard of anyone growing grass and oats together, and it just made me wonder. Its neat to see an old cultipacker in the field. My Gram had one of those on the farm in PA when I was a kid. I hadn't seen one of those since, and I didn't know anyone else who knew what one was.

Do you have to harrow with horses a different way then with a tractor, I did it for my grandfather on his farm with a tractor and was told to drive out of the Field and then back in , so it was down and back , I like your way because there is no wasted time pulling in and out of the field,
