Eric Baeten's Comments

thanks. I would rather have an old red power tractor then a new one with a/c, heat and gps. I would stay on our Super MDTA all day if I could

Yeah, my Dad's got a big American Flag on the Barn door and some small animal sheds down by the road. If you were on Hwy 83 by County Line Road, it was him. :)

Yeah, it was great beer! :)

Unfortunately I am not farming at present. I was dairy farming with my father up until he passed away a year and a half ago. Then my mother sold the herd 3 months later. I was a little relieved at the time because I was way overwhelmed, but have since regretted letting the cows go. We still have the land and facilities and I plan to return soon, but need to get back on my feet first. Hopefully resources like this site will keep me in touch and prepared.

Hey Eric.... I currently farm with my dad in southwest Wisconsin about 1hour southwest of Madison.... we have a double 12 parellel milking parlor by westfalia surge... we milk about 300 cows and raise all of our own replacements and we raise our steers to market weight... we have 850 acres of crops.. we also are involved in a custom chopping business... hope that answers your questions

Hi Eric, thanks for the Wisco welcome. :) My Dad owns a hobby farm with a corn maze in Hartland, WI. He's the 3rd Generation of our family to own that land.

FORWARD!

Hey, Eric. Right now I'm not doing any farming, but hopefully soon. My grandparents farmed so I did a lot of work for them. Right now my grandma is still living there with my uncle, but they rent out the land. It's about a 2 hour drive from where I live, so I'm not really active on it. Eventually I will have some kind of "non-standard" farm, maybe organic, maybe trees, maybe set up more for hunting, something along those lines. Definitely not livestock or row crops. It needs to be something that doesn't require daily attention.

You could say that. I mean I know the main concept of it all but haven't really focused much on Dairy. Always willing to learn and improve.

Well hello there! I am attending Morehead State University and majoring in Animal Science here. I work out here at the university farm quite a bit and enjoy working with the cattle out here. You seem like you sure do have your hands full!

horses and beef cows just starting

Hey there Eric! I'm Jess. Nice to meet you! I grew up on a 600 acre beef farm in Maryland where we had a little under 100 head of Hereford x cows. I'm in Kentucky going to school now, living and working on a farm that has around 100 head of Angus cattle, 50 xbred sows, and 30 Hampx ewes... I'll be starting my Master's in January in Ruminant Nutrition! How 'bout you?

hey eric. I just have a small farm in pa where i grow hay mostly. I have some horses and mules so i pretty much just bail hay to keep them fed with a little left over to sell sometimes.

Hello. Currently I don't do much farming. My wife and I keep 2 horses and raise about 20 ton of hay each year on our small acreage. Trying to convince my wife to move to northern MN, where my gradfather's farm is. He used to dairy, and I would like to get the farm back to dairying again. For now though, trying to find some more land to rent in western colorado to get a small beef herd running.

We run 100 heads of Angus cattle and work 1200 acres of corn and soybeans here in west central Missouri

Raised sunflowers, coors brew barley corn both for shell and silege and sugar beets

Thanks for the Welcome Eric. I grew up on a Corn, Wheat, Soybean and Tobacco Farm in KY. My husband and I don't get to do our own farming now, just go home and help dad, but we both work in the Ag Industry. He works for a Cat Dealer and I work as a recruiter for the Ag Industry.
