Rural Heritage
United States
Приєднався 3 чер 2008
Love Draft Horses and Mules? Like to see how rural work was done in the past - and today? Interested in the rural heritage of the United States?
Joe Mischka travels the country in search of people who are doing just that - and filming them while doing it. Watch past episodes of our weekly show Rural Heritage on RFD-TV as well as some short raw footage from Joe's travels.
We have DIY videos, draft horse, mule and donkey events, Heritage events showcasing the ways our ancestors worked on their farms, draft animal powered logging, wagon trains, and more.
Since 1976, Rural Heritage magazine has been providing information to people interested in using draft animal power on their farms and in their forests. As small-scaled diversified family farming and homesteading gains popularity in the US, we are here to show how to go back to the land and compete successfully with your “modern” neighbors while leaving a legacy of fertility for coming generations.

❤❤❤❤У нас раньше было такое было 😊😊😊😊лайк 1000000 %спасибо 😊😊😊😊ок
Way to go! This is a great video and Ben Burgess is a hero. I'm just dragging windfall branches with a pony but I love it, and want to see good horses doing good work. Keep it up!
❤❤❤❤
Horses or mules in Adair, Casey and Russell counties have got to be about half billy goat to be able to climb those hills. There used to be a lot of good mule men in that area that logged, but I guess they are all dead by now. Glad to see at least one young man carrying on with it.
That's what you call a great team
I like to see the horses actually working
Those horses are so well trained. I like the size and conformation of Suffolk Punch horses. Please show more of the horses working the logging operation.
👍

Vevay is a really cool town. I live about an hour away from it
Thank God crops have improved tremendously as well as equipment
My father was in the US Army Calvary in Monterey California in the mid 1930’s. All the soldiers rode Morgans. My daughter had two mares that we loved dearly. Sweetest tempered, calm girls that would do anything for you. Old style! The best!
Zach has such common sense and smart s.We could learn a lot from him about the biz
Zach has a great channe
I enjoy watching Zach's channel as well as rural heritage. Great video and thanks for the explanation on the jerk line.
I live 15 minutes from this mill, drive past it regularly. I really should go see it run sometime.
Pride monkey 🙈 😢😮❤😅
Get big wheels for a way smoother ride
Never knew l was watching a celebrity lol
How do one get that set of a York
Another great video l have a question if you had your team hooked up, could you use the single line on them also.
Beautiful Animal and doing The proper training they would do it .Thanks for All the videos I get to watch .
Thanks for watching!
Looks like alot of work
Very Very good video Mr Zack
A thing of beauty.
In this part of Canada the old guys called the stretcher a spreader. I guess because it spread the trace chains apart.
Watching Zack Odom is always a good time. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see you, Zach!!
Look at you, on ( Rural Heritage ) a great honor for you i,m sure you deserve it Zack, congrats . 👍
Great training video! Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
Hello 👋

Looks wet underfoot, wishing you some fine weather to dry the hay
Very interesting. Never seen anything like that before. The description says that those were baled for sale/transport, which makes perfectly sense. You wouldn't need that extra effort if you just wanted to use the hay locally. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Our barn on the family farm was built in 1962, and was equipped with a hay fork on overhead track for filling the barn with loose hay, but they had switched to small bales by the time i showed up. I had never heard of this particular way of making hay. Was this done for hay used on-farm, or only for hay that was sold? I had never thought of it, but there were thousands of horses in cities that needed to be fed, and this would have been much easier to transport than loose hay.
How do I get a hold of this guy for those blond Belgians? Really nice herd.
He owns the farm that I used to live there
Now i understand why square bales were a thing, they were modelled after this machine
Loved my old style Morgan mare. She could out walk my friends thoroughbred gelding. Work all day and never tire AND beautiful. Keep up the good work sir with your wonderful horses.
Good job buddy
Water from under the Turnpike, same as operating Burnt Cabins Grist Mill in Fulton County. "Shims are the secret of milling." True, everything in the drivetrain is adjusted or aligned by shims or wedges. Our spur gear broke a tooth from worn shims, our millwright replaced it. Assembling all he averaged the warped Fitz bevel gear run-out by shifting the waterwheel main shaft for an adequate mesh dimension. Two weeks after the restoration I started the water flow over the wheel. It almost made a revolution before a loud BANG occured stopping all motion - the bevel gear had jumped out of engagement. Our millwright returned the next week, shimming the end of our shaft for a better mesh. One can never forget that sound! Wayne Spyker Docent - Friends of Wallace - Cross Mill
I am not aware of having mow days in gb Ime sure it would be popular if we did lovely to see 😁👍
That is so cool.
Wonderful. Great horses and mules, working beautifully! The ground must have been wet judging by the wheels.
I like horses 👍👍
The peace and calm of this type of farming is almost spiritual.
what breed of hors is it
Belgians
That was a great video.
I wonder how a team of mammoth donkeys would work.
👌
forget those electric vehicles, this is your green energy future... also was the green past. but its also a lot of work
What most ecology minded people don't understand is that this type of work and Machinery is the only green solution to the mechanized world we have around us now
