Never get tired of anything you guys post.

Oh Maggie, when you said you wanted to plant a Flower Garden, I had no idea how BEAUTIFUL it would be. Thank you for sharing it with all the viewers. Guys, all your animals, including piggies, look so well cared for, pristine and beautiful. Thanks for the tour and seeing all the implements. Andy knows absolutely what, where and how everything is used.!

Y’all are my favorite channel now. I look forward to watching these videos every day❤

Meaghan is a treasure and Andy is a lucky man.

That's some good looking bacon

Never ever seen two people more passionate about farming than these two! It simply radiates from them both. I love it! Great content!

I search for yalls blog every day....reminds me of when I was 35....63 now.....

Andy I can't believe you have 2 implements not used and still married 😂😂😂😂

Hope ya'll have a wonderful 4th of July! God bless America!

❤loved this video!! I especially love going around and seeing the animals. Meagan’s eyes light up when she is around her animals. Maggie, you, sweet thing, are going to have a green thumb!! Your flowers are gorgeous! I really love the Sunflowers because they remind me of happiness! You and Jacob are great kids and a big help to Daddy and Momma. Love all of you! ❤

Love Andy’s outdoor museum of farm equipment and trucks! Your family, are true homesteaders absolutely love all the information you share

It was great getting to see y'all down at Denton yesterday. Looks like the cows and pigs are doing great despite this drought. Between farming and landscaping, It's good that you have the tractors and equipment that you do. Maggie's flowers look absolutely wonderful and are definitely attracting the bees. Y'all have a great evening!

Andy needs a building just for tractors and implements 💯🙂

Another entertaining and educational video. Andy, I do recognize and appreciate your knowledge and expertise at your craft; and I appreciate the expertise of Meaghan in the kitchen and on the homestead with the animals and the gardening.

I'm so sorry, just realized I stupidly misspelled her name...lol

That was a lovely tour of your wonderful farm, truly enjoy how you both share what all you do and how wonderful you work together, really like how your teaching the kids how to work and enjoy the farm, ❤😊

It is such a joy to see the love of farming pass down through generations in a family. And how your knowledge will help your children. ♥️

Good day, those pigs are looking good they have really grown since you got them. I could not believe how they have grown.All your animals are looking good.y'all be blessed

I have 18 hens and too many roosters and they give me 12-15 eggs a day, even through the cold winter out here on the eastern plains. I end up giving all the extra eggs away because I can’t post them to sellout here in the middle of nowhere. Thank you both for sharing your farm with us. Happy 4th and God bless America and us all ❤

Hey y’all. My husband and I live in Rural North Carolina too and I just love yalls channel. My poor garden is doing horrible with this dry weather. Stay safe and enjoy them taters.

You guys are the best, down to earth and just a humble family doing what they love. Really enjoyed the home stead tour. Just keep on doing what you do, and God bless you all

Thanks guys from Ontario Canada

Good morning Megan and Andy, great tour of the equipment you have accumulated and the animals that are keeping you folks fed and happy to care for them. Totally awesome to see how you keep things just because. I understand completely and agree with your reasoning. So glad you two were meant for each other and work so well together and stay so happy with your families. Keep up the great videos and the fun you have around there with all you do. Love your channel so much. Fred.

I have 10 Acres of wooded land that we perfect pasture for Pigs!!..I definitely need to get started at some point

Megan: I had a sorrel quarter horse that I got as a 3 year old. “Sonny” he was 29 years old when I had to put him down. I also had a reg paint “Apache” 13 year old. He got colic and the vet said it was unrecoverable. Both of them were my heart and my dearly beloved. But I fed the top feed, Timothy hay, wormed every 30 days. Sonny was very shiny just like your horse. I noticed that from the very beginning. Vet once a year feet done every 8 weeks. I showed some and barrel race but, my favorite was just good ole’ trail ridding. I don’t think people realize what hard work is having horses. But sooo worth it. They were my best friends 😢

I have paired a spring tooth cultivator to strip till grooves ahead of my old shoe-style corn planter to follow in and work regenerative agriculture methods (plant winter rye early fall, then strip the standing rye in the spring so the shoe planter can follow in the trenches and plant the corn, corn emerges then cultipacker down-back to flatten the rye giving the corn perfect mulch and a huge head start on weeds).

Andy, you sure do have a lot of toys and your animals are so pretty those piggy wiggy are adorable ❤️

This was a great video, i really enjoyed the walk and talk.

Great video. Maggie flower garden is wonderful. Jacob and Maggie are a credit to you. You're doing a wonderful job at raising those kiddies xx Love from Ireland as always ❤

This entire video was very interesting. The animals are awesome, and the equipment is amazing. You two are a joy to me.

Hay yall it is Lonnie on coast of North Carolina I love your podcast.

I talk to animals like you do. Love them all.And I love Maggie's flower garden, so beautiful.

Maggie's garden is awesome, she did a great job! Meagan, I talk to my dog like you do your cows 😊 also spend more to feed her quality food like you do your horses. Our animals are God's creation and deserve to be treated as such and are worth the extra money. Andy, Larry thoroughly enjoyed you showing all your tractor toys. Ya'll have a happy and safe Fourth.

I think Andy needs another garage/barn to store all that tractor equipment 😂

oh how I wish I had one for sure!

Wow. Thats just beautiful. You , Andy and the children amaze me. If I could do just a little of what y'all do I would be happy.

Andy you have a museum of working old farm attachments and the knowledge to explain what each one does very interesting love watching the videos

I'd tip the sickle mower head up out of the dirt!, make sure the slide parts at the base are well out of the dirt too. All of that has to slide back and forth like a bearing and wet dirt is going to be a problem. Do an episode soon on getting that hooked up and running. Have spare wood actuator arms for it, that's the 'shear pin' system. Danny (deep south/pecan grove) recently got his running on a cub so you could see/contact him for hints.

Happy Independence Day! Love watching y’all living the dream! Wishing the very best for you and your family!

So hot and dry the bees 🐝 are getting all thay can to survive.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great job Maggie❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

With dad....#1 hogs #2 chickens @ me too but I had 80 head of cows too....

I just found your channel & subscribed! I'm actually binge watching your old videos. I'm in Northern California, so I love your accent & true down to earth NC ways. Thank you for sharing your gardening, preserving & life❤️

I have been wanting to see how big the pigs have become. Thanks.

Great homestead tour. My favorite kind of video.

Loved the tractor section. Would love to see how to start some tobacco seed. I’m sure Andy knows how to do this . I’ve been trying to grow some several years.

You both compliment each other in so many ways😁👍⚖. Please don't sell out in need. I consider my squirrel nest as a flop but I would invest my last dollar too you both⚖🥰🇺🇸🤗👍😁

Wow, you have some equipment. When my Grandparents had their farm, we only had the bare minimum. Interesting to me though is what everything does. Thank you Andy for the tour. Maggie you have a beautiful garden. Can't wait to see what you do next year

Outstanding tour of all the implements, very nice variety, great discussion & information as to what it used for , thank you for sharing , stay safe !

Great video. My main equipment is my turning plows; 3pt. that I've reduced to 2pt; root rake for pulling grass from what used to be lawn that I've now put back to use, and a one row cultivator/layoff plow. I've got a 5' bush hog as well. I'm old, and I like old stuff. I got a 1964 641 Ford Workmaster and a 1963 Massey Ferguson 35 Deluxe. There's a 1954 Massey Harris #16 Pacer sitting in the shed with all the cultivating attachments, a planter, and a fertilizer distributer that's not rusted out. About 20 years ago the generator went out on me and I haven't got it replaced yet but have plans to do a 12 volt conversion and see what else it needs. If I can get it working I think I can gain one or two rows in the garden.

Absolutely loved the video , but I nearly fell off my chair laughing at the "pasture ornaments"

Where I live here in Mississippi it's hard for me to find fresh eggs, no one in our county raises chickens. It's strange to me!!!

My husband and I are similar to you guys, we are currently graining steers for food and recently we had 4 pigs. I love having the pig's I named them and took the entire time taking care of them it's also funny that you can only touch the cow's because my husband can't get close either. The food tastes so much better and you know what they ate! My husband also has tractor's plus we also a vegetable garden

Love your equipment tour!! Grew up tobacco farming in Maryland. Appreciate you guys!!

Them are some slick healthy looking pigs

Congrats to you about yalls cows and horses. Yall have done very,very well with the animals. Have told you that before

I love your video's look forward to the next one good job Maggie on the flower garden love all the animals

A rooster’s comb is always bigger than a hen chicken comb,sticks up off their head further and usually a darker color. Anyway they are both delicious with dumplings.

HA that exactly how I talk to all of mine. ❤

Implements were the best part I thought, but it’s all good. Impressive collection would be an understatement.😂

Thanks for sharing your grocery hauls 😊❤🙏 Ms. Ruby

Great video! I enjoyed all of it! When I grow up I want an implement collection just like Andy’s! I’m in my fifties and just this year felt like I could justify the price of a cultivator, I bought one a few weeks ago and I’ve never spent better money, it’s been magic! Ive been moving round bales with a boom pole and chain sling all my life! And I totally get the horse thing! They were a condition of my marriage as well! My oldest is 40 this year, his feed is $32 a bag and my clothes come from the thrift shops and the missions and I’m good with that, in a lot of ways he raised me,I don’t know where I would be without that horse, it’s gonna be life changing when he has to go, I hope it’s not anytime soon!

I need to get me one of those potato plows…digging them by hand is some work! ❤lifeatthenutthouse

That's a subsoiler with a middlebuster sweep.....same thing..

No waste on good feed....

That was great Andy. Thanks for the museum tour

My list #1 implement Brush hog #2 blade #3 pole , most used . #4 rake #5 tiller ,Most appreciated #6 hay spike Hello

If you will look at this video at the top of the flower there is one of the long legged stink bugs I was talking about on the last episode y’all had.

I enjoyed that video also, because I love all that equipment also. I only have five tractors🤷🏻‍♂️

Liliston rolling cultivator.....i had a 4 row and 2 row for tobacco..

1. I’d love to know your secret for getting your guineas to stay with your chickens & stay calm. I’m looking at getting some soon. 2. I’d highly recommend investing in a freeze dryer for your eggs & for all your veggies. We got a small one last year & it’s been so helpful for keeping up with harvest.

I don't really have much advise they just took up with the chickens and haven't been much problem, they do get loud from time to time though!

We used turn plow on tobacco land mostly

I had a hog house...nipple waters work well....no waste...

I was laughing at your price for eggs. Here in So Cal 18 organic pasture raised eggs is about $15. 😵‍💫😆

Hey y’all. Man everything looks great, but your hogs are looking REALLY GOOD.👍🏽 The horses being part of the marriage contract is priceless. I was hoping you’d show your one row corn picker. I’ve been thinking about buying one. Had an old McCormick two row picker that belonged to my grandfather, but a tree fell on it. I’ve been told the new idea pickers are way better. Awesome content guys. 👍🏽

Andy's implement dealership!

Weld a flat plate on bucket to press in poles????? But I had a 75 horse ford to do that...about 6000 lbs down pressure...

Sickle bar mowers cut cleaner with less waste, but they are finicky!!! Teeth get broken, they need to be spaced just right to cut good, if the height isn't set just right the hay is uneven. But, with that being said, if you have the patience and time to use one, then in the long run a lot of old-timers say they leave the fields in a healthier state because of how they cut.
