A good natural treatment for flies has been found to be tea tree oil. Its not horribly expensive in bulk. If you read the articles for it, they mixed it at around 5% with a carrier and sprayed it on the cattle. It kills some flies and reduces the load on them by about 50% over 24 hours.

It warms the heart to see a young man on a tractor wanting to learn.

There’s nothing like the first time dad lets you run a tractor by yourself !! Well done…..

What a pleasure to see the patience and encouragement you have for your son. Kudos, Sir!!!

The experience and memories for Jacob ploughing the field far outweighs one field of corn ❤

I love breakfast for supper. Between Andy on the tractor and Megan in the kitchen, you guys make my day. Much love from Appalachia Kentucky.

Well done young man!! And well done Dad for taking the time and having the patience to teach him how to do it!

The young man is growing up I showed my husband he said that's how he learned when he was 10 years old he did an amazing job 👏

Pray over it and let God do the work. He can and he will.

Best way to teach them while they are young and make it fun so they will always enjoy what they do. I love how Andy works with him and doesn't give him grief over some missing corn. And your baby in the kitchen learning from you the homemaking ways.

What a beautiful hard working family I love seeing Momma and little daughter cooking together in the kitchen. Watching the children help with the planting and the farm animals is amazing. Just don't see that much anymore. you should feel so proud of them. God Bless.

Great job with the boy, he is a pro kids,need to hear, I’m proud of you. Watching your family makes me happy.

Wise words in picking our garden battles. It took five years and five rhubarb starts from my sister to find it's happy place in my yard. Picking a battle with nature is a lot more work than figuring out where what plants want to grow and accepting that the plan we had wasn't the happy place for the plant we wanted to put there.

So frustrating to not understand why the corn came up so spotty, especially when you saved the best seed from last year and all the work that entailed. Hopefully, this years crop will be able to adapt even better to the weather/soil conditions there. You got this, Andy. Great job, Jacob!

Watching your channel makes me so happy. It takes me back to a time when I was a kid and life was good. Family was important and everyone was good to each other. All the good memories come back. I appreciate you all sharing your life with us. Love to the family.

I can even notice how much Candy has settled in to her milking space. All that time spent training her sure proved her to be a good milk cow for you. Fun to see Jacob work the field. Sorry to see the corn fields still so wet.

Breakfast is my favorite meal anytime of day! Putting that boy on the tractor is parenting done right. What an awesome experience for him, and both y'all were so supportive he will never forget that. God, them apples had my mouth watering. My great grandmother used to fry them like that for breakfast. Stay safe, and God bless

I can't say how much it warmed my heart seeing you teach your son to cultivate that field. I love watching you all teach your children to farm and plant and garden. You guys are wonderful parents! Love this!

They don't know it yet, but Andy and Jacob are making memories they'll have forever. Watching Andy teach Jacob warms my heart. He has so much patience. And Megan, do you all not have chiggers where you are? Watching you walk through that tall grass in shorts made me cringe just thinking about chiggers biting you something fierce! Hey, no gravy? God bless!

Jacup did did a great job cultivating the corn. Candy is doing so good. I’m 70 now and I’ve sold my milk cow. I trained her from a heifer. She would wait at the gate for me. Finally, I would love to see some good video on your young steers. Love your videos.

Breakfast for supper is the best! Great video! Blessings to y'all!

Aw bless him. His legs are still a bit short. Jacob will be a great farmer x Love from Ireland as always

I love seeing Jacob up on that tractor. Let him cultivate it and see how it turns out. What can it hurt! I love watching your little family. It reminds me of when I was growing up and momma and daddy had a hug garden and grew tobacco. My brothers and I were constantly in the garden and tobacco patch with them! Great memories! ❤

Breakfast for supper was a regular thing at our house when I was much younger. Dad would make pancakes, mom would scramble eggs and biscuits and we felt like royalty! To this day, I try to do it as often as I can, just to be different or maybe just because it is fun. MY children freaked out when I would do it for them when they were small, but they loved it too.. LoL

I understand the breakfast for supper. My dad and grandmother taught me how to cook. And when I was about 8 years old dad started asking me if I would like to cook supper. At that age that was playing a huge part of helping the family. And it started out with breakfast for supper. Standing in a old straight back chair I would make the biscuits and spoon drop them into the "biscuit" pan. Then fry up the bacon dad had sliced up from the smokehouse meat. And always white pepper gravy. If dad wanted a "runny" egg or 2 he would fry them. I always ended up with scrambled eggs. Till a year later. That young man is so happy and proud. That's how we all learned and everything we were asked if we wanted to try,we gave our best at it. Every time you are ask to do something more. It's a joy as a child, because kids feel like they are old enough to help with the adults jobs. It makes you want to help, and it makes you want to do it correctly. And one day, dad is just sending you and your sister to work on a field or something else. My sister was 11 years younger than me, and I was her baby sitter. After I was out of high school I kept working and help my dad with things my sister needed for school else. Dad been gone 31 years and I'm now not just my sister mom, I am her dad on his wisdom. She's married and has 4 children. He husband was becoming a part of our family when we lose dad. So it's about the same except dad isn't with us. I'm very happy my dad taught my sister and I how to run the farm. I have mine own and still run it pretty much how dad taught us. And I still make breakfast for supper specially when the hens are laying so heavy.

I LOVE IT 🥰. FANTASTIC opportunity for Jacob to learn! He is such a wonderful young man! I want to put a big sign in the field for everyone to see with a picture of Jacob that says “I did that!” He is amazing!!!

Those are lucky kids. Great parents!

Your encouragement will definitely help him succeed! 🥰

In one of your past videos you said a lot of people have turned to utube just to get away from the negative world. You are so correct. It’s the reason I have and enjoy just down to earth people, kind to their neighbors and family.

I’m so glad y’all appeared in my feed,it takes me back to a better time!❣️

I love to see young folks learning big things! Way to go Jacob!

Great job around there everyone. You two are bringing up the future of our country and doing it well. Jacob and Maggie are doing a fantastic job and learning well how a farm works and operates and the work can be fun and rewarding to do. You'll get some corn out of the fields Andy with whatever you decide to do, and sure glad you and your neighbor work together so both can sleep at night. That was another awesome breakfast for supper Megan. Those fried apples are really good and as the old camp cook would say , they keep the cowboy a little more regular and a little less irritable. Always enjoy your videos, stay safe. Fred.

So good to see your son learning to plow.You are teaching your son valuable things to do on a farm. Good to see parents showing and teaching how to do things.

I hate that about the corn patches. We got a ton of rain yesterday and last night. I usually never complain about rain but dang we’ve got it all at once! Hard to get the garden right around here too. We enjoy breakfast for supper all the time here…easy and who don’t like breakfast! Y’all have a good week!

You are great parents 🌷wishing both the children continue your heritage’s & take over your family country life🏡

It certainly puts a smile on my face just watching Jacob doing so well learning all the things he puts his mind to... Breakfast for dinner is certainly something l do enjoy..lol

♥️✝️🇺🇸 Dang, sorry to hear about your corn crop 🫤 don’t let it get you down, you’ve got lots of blessings to count 😊

Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸 breakfast is great for anytime of the day/night. It's beef stew, and cornbread tonight for us.

yes, did enjoy. stay with us, we'll be watching forever

So glad that you all have been safe from all the tornadoes. Have been praying for you.

Thank you so much!

I’ve just started watching your channel about a month ago. I so enjoy watching. You have such a nice family. Hard working ! I love the cooking segments also. Thanks you for sharing ❤

Andy your a good man for your attitude with the man’s cows ! I’ve been on both sides where it was my cows doing damage then it was returned to me but it’s great when cool and calm minds prevail ! Cows will get out. Young man on the tractor was a treat to watch. You start them early on the ole tractor then next thing you know their working for a company driving dozer, dump trucks, cranes etc. with mine it all started on a ford 3,000. :)

Really enjoyed seeing you let Jacob drive the tractor. It's good that you teaching young. That's the good part of being raised in the country.

All I can say is Andy is one lucky man.

Totally agree with teaching the kids early👌🌿🌾

Wow, I am so Impressed with what great parents you are!!!

When milk cows don't want to come out of the stantion, you know your training is paying off. And it sure is cute too!!! 😁

Your breakfast for supper looked mighty good to me

Breakfast for supper is a great meal! I might have added fried potatoes or grits also but it sure looked delicious. Jacob did good on that tractor & I am impressed how patient Andy is with him! Learning how to use the equipment @ a young age will be so helpful. Blessings 🕊

Hello Danny from South Georgia sorry to hear about the corn a breakfast for supper is always a good thing

Mighty fine looking supper !

I love to see the young man's enthusiasm about running the Tracker.

Thanks for sharing. Sure enjoy watching.

My papa always plowed up the cover crop in the field several times before planting. Usually three to four times minimum, then he'd see how it looked and figure if he needed to give it another go. When he first started farming, he'd only plow it up once or twice, then he'd be stressed out like you are about it. Sure makes a difference in the crop yield, and your peace of mind.

I love seeing Jacob learning how to till. Fantastic parenting. ❤😊

Teaching that young man what a treat. Keeping it in the farm. I like it.

Awesome job Jacob !!!!!!!

Andy so sorry for your cornfield, we know exactly what you’re going through. What you might want to do is hook up your behind the tractor tiller and till all of those hard clumps of dirt and then replant your corn. It will do the soil good to till it up. We love watching y’all’s channel. Y’all have the best well behaved children that love to help y’all work. Thank you for sharing your real life with all of us. Be blessed until God comes. The Allens

Loved seeing the tractor lesson. So awesome. I really enjoy your channel. I live in an urban setting in Tacoma, WA so just have a couple raised beds. First year growing vegetables here so we’ll see how it goes. Discovered your channel looking up composting tips .

I bet he was in hog heaven driving that tractor in the corn field!! Love seeing that. I learned how to drive on a tractor

The weeds can be so frustrating! Blessings to you all. Get some good rest.

Andy, you are a good neighbor to help out your aging neighbor. I pray God blesses you double on the corn. Megan, I love to see you milking and loving on Candy. Jacob is working that beautiful tractor like a BOSS! Andy, I am so sorry for your frustration and aggravation with your corn. I wondered about the fertilizer you used? It has rained about every 3 days here in TN, this spring has been so wet, I just hope we don't get bad drought after this. I LOVE breakfast for supper!! Those fried apples look so good! And sausage and apples go together so good! Making me hungry...again, lol. Thanks for sharing, and God bless!

Thank you so much 🙏❤️

We used to eat breakfast for supper all the time. I love doing that.

I hate that y’all’s corn came in so scarce,but it’s always a gamble with the farmers,might have planted it in the wrong sign,and it being so wet it could have ruined the seed. And I remember at one of the fields y’all planted you said that you couldn’t believe you were able to plant all that space and it didn’t take that many seeds. Your planter might have been putting the seeds down inconsistently, regardless of the reason it’s not because you didn’t give it your all.There’s still a lot of corn out there, Thank y’all for the videos I enjoy all of them.

Keep the good plants at least. 1/4 of a field is better than a total loss. If you give up on the not good parts just put something that might do well there. Personally, I would give it more time but I have a much shorter season than you do and no time to start over if something fails. There are no failures when it comes to gardening. Even if you don't get a harvest, you get an education.

Love you guys, always learn something gardening or cooking❤️❤️

Boy the weather around here in the west side of Tennessee has been rough flooding,wind,tornadoes the grass is about to take my Sweet corn patch it’s been in standing water thank goodness we have a high tunnel that most of our garden is in

Yay. Another video!

Good call Andy. Last year we grew close to 300 ears of sweet corn on our plot. This year, in a plot the same size, I had numerous skips as you did. I replanted the skips and I'm sure due to pollination problems, we were down 100 ears and some of the later ones were nubs. Better to start over completely. Blessed for what we got but farming is always about learning and most of the time from mistakes. Jacob did a great job! Here in Florida, thank goodness we are about to wrap up. Last few days in the high 90's with "feels like" temps around 105!! Tough pea picking weather!

❤I hate it about your alls corn. It seems so odd that the corn would be so sporadic as to the good plants and the weaker no no plants. 🌱 Whatever you decide to do I’m sure will be decided with your best experience and knowledge. I felt pride rise in my heart when Jacob was driving the tractor. He is very serious and focused on the job at hand. You are great parents. You lead by example and reward by praise. Breakfast for supper is the best! Love breakfast food but not a breakfast eater so it is perfect for me. Have a blessed Memorial Day. God bless all of you! 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Andy I’d replant that corn. That’s not a good stand at all. Your yield almost won’t be worth the effort. With the heat units steadily increasing, your new corn will be up and running in no time. Your weed seed bank is horrible in that field. I’d like to suggest that you disc LIGHTLY, let the weeds grow out, disc LIGHTLY again, then replant. You have time. Next moon phase dates for corn is 7th -8th. If you don’t decide to replant corn, I’d keep growing the weeds out a few rounds until you start to see the weed pressure lighten up, then cover crop it. Lessening that weed seed bank will make your life so much easier going forward in that field. Either way, best of luck. Love y’all ❤.

Bless ! Hate that for your corn !but I think it will be ok . Love sweet Jacob on that tractor! He did such a great job 😁 so nice to see patience when a kid is learning . Y’all take care! God bless you! Ps Love me some breakfast for supper yum

Andy, So much hard work to grow corn. I understand why you were unsure of plowing over the corn and starting over again. I feel for you.😢

Great way to take a problem and make a teachable moment out of it.

You're definitely an awesome family. The kids aren't scared of trying and learning that's for sure 😃👍❤. I agree breakfast for supper yummy lol. Take care and keep them the videos coming 😂❤

Andy n Megan, Ive had some off patches of veggies between fields too. I think it is the weather, my popcorn so spaced gotta reseed. Enjoy all your videos, keep up channel, its great to watch a family that has great values !

Breakfast for supper is one of our favorites!!! ❤

Your skips may be due to planter seed plate vs seed size, been there. Or crows? If you've seen Joseph Lofthouse "landrace gardening" you'll view that weedy field as an opportunity to choose hardy seed stock from the survivors to use next year. Corn that ignores weeds is a good kind of corn to have. Bigger risk is If you replant now you may get a dry spell and none of the new corn comes up where here you can get some corn. The existing corn has roots down to moisture already. That field may not be pretty but it can still do some good come harvest.

I absolutely LOVE breakfast for supper!!!

When we lived on the farm I remember driving the tractor when I am a girl about your sons age I was the oldest of 6 kids now I am 81 soon be 82 still feel young and look young few gray hair to bad about the corn I would be on the fence too keep it or plow it under from southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Apples and pork just go good together. It don't matter if it's sausage, chops or a pork roast. I make a pork roast with apples and onions that's killer. I'll save the drippings from the roast, freeze it if I have to, then make a gravy with it to go over fried pork chops. 🤤

Discovered your channel a few days ago. Now I’m streaming you all. Great video here. Loved you all sharing your story. Keep it up

Great job Jacob! Andy I gotta feeling your cultivating days are numbered. It's always a hard thing to decide to plow up and replant an established crop. I've had to plow up tobacco before and replant it. I was going to plow my garden this morning when I got home from work but decided to do it yesterday evening instead. It plowed the best it's plowed this year and last night I got .4 inches of rain. I just saw the weather and they are calling for fair weather until next Sunday with a 20% chance of rain. Y'all have a great Memorial Day!

Yep, not every day goes like ya want. But its still beautiful!

Breakfast is my favorite meal anytime! I understand your frustration on that corn. We really enjoy your channel.

We're having corn problems too...crows!!!! Megan, I love fried apples! We make our own shagbark hickory syrup and I use that in it and it's delicious!

Hey y’all from Ky,hope y’all don’t get all the water and bad weather we just got! Prayers for all.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just subscribed to your alls channel really enjoy the honest clean lifestyle great family channel 👍 😀 😊

Glad you’re not giving up on the corn Andy! Oops, I’d better wait till the end of the video before posting 😂 but hey, you’re the farmer!

We had, and still do have breakfast for supper fairly regular. It's the cheapest thing we could have since everything but the flour and cinnamon come from the farm. Seems like nowadays some folks think breakfast for supper is weird, but it's cause they're weird and don't know what's good.

Ground temperature. I had the same issue with the first corn seed I planted. The ground temp got up high enough, I planted, and all of a sudden, we had a run of temps in the 40s every night here in N Central FL. It took it over 2 weeks to germinate and spotty like yours. I was delirious. Back and forth with Greg trying to figure it out. Made me nuts. Thank God I had some transplants started in the house and managed to have early corn, then another patch with seeds sprouted in the house. Even then, everything grew slow, everything. I put okra transplants out twice. The weather was just crazy this year.

Looking at your pepper plants you might try spraying them with dawn dish soap mixed with water put in a spray bottle, just spray the plant and that should help your plant. We be in Texas down south and we have that problem as well. We use this mix on my tomatoes, cucumbers and egg plants. Good luck

Our family really likes Breakfast for dinner definitely a family favorite. Nice video again!

My wife and I been watching you guys now for two weeks or so now. Came across your videos after watching some of Patara’s over on Appalachian homesteaders. Anyway got to lookin an low an behold you guys are just up the road in ole lawsonville. That’s so cool.

Think we went around every bend an hollar from here to Tim buck too haha enjoy yalls channel and content.

Well, you at least used a bad field of corn to give Jacob his first experience and practice cultivating the field. In ten years he will be a pro thanks to his parenting.

Thanks for sharing y'all 👍
