Farm Vlogger helps raise $7000 for Volunteer first responders during tough times
What happens here
Josh provides updates on several farm activities and future projects. He shows the newly planted grass on cleared land, noting its rapid growth in just 13 days, and mentions that similar land clearing projects will be featured in upcoming 'Forestry Mulcher' videos. He briefly touches on ongoing mechanical issues with his John Deere 250 Skid Steer ('Skid Bop'), which has a significant hydraulic fluid leak, and his John Deere Gator, which needs an axle replacement due to a CV boot failure. He also announces plans to set the body of his Willys Jeep ('Popcorn the Willys') onto its frame soon, aiming to 'farm it up' into a side-by-side farm machine. Baby chicks are expected to arrive soon, and he intends to film videos about preparing for them. He plans to develop an intensive grazing program using Tarter Farm and Ranch's large water tanks and install a rain-watering system for the chickens.
Goal: Inform the audience about current farm status and future plans.
