NOT AGAIN!! Mechanic work never stops on the FARM!!
What happens here
The video begins with the presenter, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, welcoming viewers to his farm. He provides a general overview of the day's tasks, which include feeding meat birds (Cornish Crosses, 5 weeks old, moved daily for fresh pasture), feeding 25 head of cattle with a gallon scoop of sweet feed each, repairing a hydraulic line on a John Deere 250 skid steer, and upgrading his Honda Rancher ATV with new Kolpin racks for hauling buckets. He also mentions future projects like working on a C10 truck and installing a Tartar Farm & Ranch squeeze chute and new fencing. He drives his Honda ATV to feed the cows, demonstrates calling them in, and feeds them sweet feed from a scoop, highlighting the new cows that are still getting used to him. He then drives to the mailbox to send out a T-shirt.
Goal: Introduce daily farm activities and upcoming maintenance/upgrade projects
