FLOOD AFTERMATH: DAMAGED POND DAM! Visit with the goats...chickens and thoughts on food plots

What happens here

The video begins with an overview of the farm after several days of heavy rain, noting the impact on various areas such as ducks, chickens, garden beds, and honey bees. The main objective is to check on the pond's standpipe to ensure it is not clogged and is effectively draining excess water.

Goal: Begin by observing the overall condition of the farm, including livestock areas, garden, and bee hives, after significant rainfall to understand the context of water management challenges.

What they say

[Applause] [Music] Hey, donkeys. [Music] Duckies. Hey guys, this is Josh Stony Ridge Farmer. The rain has finally subsided. We've had like two or three days of rain here on the farm. I think we've gotten over 10 inches of rain. I'm going to take you around, show you a little bit about what's going on on the farm after the rainstorm here. We've already checked on the goats. They're doing pretty good. We're going to go over to the pond and check on that pipe and make sure that there's nothing clogging the pipe. Also, you might have just noticed we've got a couple new friends on the farm. We got a couple new ducks. So, why don't you guys leave me a comment, name these ducks for me. I need some good names. All we're doing is calling them Ducky now. Anyhow, let's go walk around the farm, show you the aftermath after this storm, and we're going to go get in the pond with the waiters and see what's on that pipe. All right. Woo! Come here. Good boy. Good old boy. So, let's ride on down the garden here and check out what's going on. But I'm pretty sure my tomatoes probably got way, way, way too much water. So, we're going to ride over here, check it out. Things look so far so good. Everything looks pretty good. So, that's awesome. Let's uh check on the chickens, too. We got some muddy muddy chickens, guys. Check this out, guys. How you doing? Gosh, look at all the mud. That's crazy, guys. You might notice right here behind me, the barrel is tipped over. This is the barrel we keep our chicken feed in. And the barrel is sitting underneath the eaves of this fancy chicken coupe. Well, needless to say, the barrel took a pounding. Water got in it and ruined a bag of our chicken feed. At some point, we're going to build a garden shack down here and we'll keep our feed in a good dry place. But for right now, this barrel is what we got. And it's an old pickle barrel. Kind of cool. Look on Craigslist, you can find these kind of things. I think we paid five bucks for it. Well, here's our garden, guys. And this is the broccoli. That's broccoli. Also, this is cauliflower. Looks a little rough. Got some cabbage. Got a little uh worm problem with my cabbage right now. And this is some of our lettuce. And these are uh rows that we cut out. And you see the water puddles here. These water puddles are are here on purpose. I had issues with uh a lot of water standing in the garden and I wanted to raise the beds up. So I tilled the garden up and then I drove the tractor through and I…
