Interviewing the Farm Owner and Uncovering Farm History

folks we are here with one lonely farmer in West Pandy here in his shop look behind us this guy has an unfathomable amount of toys that I never knew you had I never knew you know I never knew you had all these toys I never knew you had all these buildings all the shop in your videos we really can't see it all we can see is the little square area that Wes is working on or a great big tractor in the field that wes is working on tell me about your farm here how many acres are you farming we're farming well it's a family farm you know but we are farming somewhere so upwards of thirty five hundred acres the farm alone is about 160 acres that's owned and what the lease ground it's between 35 and 37 hundred acres and it is all on hay right now okay we've kind of moved away from corn and soybeans because of the horrible deer situation we got going on up here so guys what I wanted to do today is introduce you if you haven't seen one lonely farmer go check them out there'll be a link right here tell me about the lineage of the farm so you didn't just go out and buy this farm too this farm has been passed down from generation after generation so is your great-great grandfather or your grandfather great my great-great grandparents my great-grandparents I'm not very great come on you're getting a cut many generations back in 1925 my great-grandparents moved here from Mona Ville West Virginia he was a coal miner and I've said this on my channel before but started out I believe mines Inc and say Ohio I'm pretty sure it was Ohio might have been Illinois I'm not sure but then he went to a mining copper in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and then ended up mining coal in Montville West Virginia okay for being trapped twice in the coal in a cave-in and in the coal mines so so is that what kind of drilling - hey maybe I should be a farmer instead of a coal miner because one day I'm gonna get squished well kinda the black lung kind of put the nail in the coffin guys like you know I get the hell out of here before you get them it was starting to come on at that time and they heard that there was good farm ground in New Jersey of all places in the world and that's what got them here cool so passed down from his great-grandfather to his grandfather to his dad and now to him a heritage farm here in New Jersey mainly what you're seeing on Wes's videos is hard
