WHOLLY CRAP!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS POO!!!!

What happens here

The farmer shows a hand-drawn map of his farm, indicating the location of his house, different fields (middle, upper, big), and a pond, to provide context for the farming operations. He then shifts focus to a vintage Galloway manure spreader, which he estimates to be at least 50 years old. He describes its mechanics: a chain drive that pulls internal bars to move manure forward, and large paddles at the rear that spin to break up clumps and spread the material evenly. He mentions it can be pulled by a Gator or a tractor for slow, controlled spreading.

Goal: The farmer provides a brief overview of his farm layout using a hand-drawn map and then details the features and operation of his vintage Galloway manure spreader, explaining how it breaks down and spreads organic material.

gross just part of farming so folks if you haven't seen it yet this is our manure spreader and we'll show you about that too we'll take you around and show you how the manure spreader works here in a second so I've been getting lots of questions from folks about a map have you put together a map yet of the farm so that we know where the heck you are cuz we see all over the place and we don't know where the heck you are well I kind of did a little map today just a tiny map to show you where we are so our house is right here and we're right in behind the house and the tobacco barns right in here and there's a little bit of woods that you can see right there that's between the house in this field right here and we call this the middle field okay and then the other one is the upper field and then we call that one the big field which is the 25 acre field by the pond so if you catch a next vlog will be over in the big field from the 25 acre field and we're gonna roll out some big oil hay bales on the places where the timber crew drove through the field we want to reestablish some grass there and reestablish some biomass in the soil right there be sure you catch the next log we're gonna be out there and me and mrs. sarni Ridge rolling around thousand-pound hay bales should be fun but enough about the map we're gonna throw this in the compost too let's just go over here and we'll show you the manure spreader and how it works we're not gonna be spreading any manure with the manure spreader today but I wanted to show you how it works so basically this manure spreader is called a Galloway and it's a Galloway manure spreader I don't know how old it is at least 50 years old so we got two levers on here one lever is for speed and the other lever there it is the other lever is for engaging it and not engaging it so you can disengage this thing and it pulls with a hitch so we can pull it with a gate or no problem which is pretty awesome and we can also pull it with a tractor the tractor might be a better option just because I can put it in a low gear and just cruise nice and slow let me show you the features so there's a chain drive right here and it pulls these bars along and you load this thing up with manure and it slowly pulls the manure through to this area and this is meant for busting up like large clots and straw and hay and then at the end of it it has big old paddles and these paddles really really whip they spin and whip and they smack those big clots and bust…
