Winter farm survival during extreme cold isn’t easy. In this video, we show how we keep livestock watered, the greenhouse heated, and our farm systems running during sub-zero winter weather.

Winter ...farm survival during extreme cold isn’t easy. In this video, we show how we keep livestock watered, the greenhouse heated, and our farm systems running during sub-zero winter weather.

With major winter storms, deep snow, and extended cold across the country, we’re sharing exactly what our daily routine looks like when temperatures drop below freezing. From breaking ice in livestock water troughs, keeping chickens watered and collecting eggs before they freeze, to managing greenhouse heating systems and monitoring our oil well for natural gas production — this is real winter farm life.

We also explain how solar radiation, thermal mass from concrete and gravel, airflow management, and redundancy help protect our greenhouse crops during extreme cold snaps. Winter farming is all about consistency, routine, and catching problems early — and this video shows what that looks like behind the scenes.

If you’re dealing with winter farming, greenhouse growing, homesteading, or cold-weather livestock care, this video is for you.

Hours of Work vs Minutes With This Strawberry Tool

Winterizing strawberries doesn’t have to steal your whole day. In this ...

Winterizing strawberries doesn’t have to steal your whole day. In this greenhouse video, I show how I prep hydroponic strawberries for winter using a pruning tool that turns an hours-long ...job into minutes — and honestly makes it way more fun.

I love strawberries… but trimming every plant by hand? Absolutely not. When you’re working inside a high tunnel with rows of hydroponic strawberries, efficiency matters. In this video, I take you inside our greenhouse to show our real winter prep process and the pruning tool that completely changed how fast (and how satisfying) this job is.

Winter prep is one of the most important — and most overlooked — steps in growing strong, productive strawberry plants. How you cut them back now decides how they wake up in spring. I’ll show you exactly how much foliage to remove, how to protect the crowns, and how to avoid the mistakes that leave growers wondering why their strawberries didn’t bounce back.

These strawberries are grown hydroponically in BATO buckets, and what used to take hours with hand snips now takes just minutes — clean cuts, healthy crowns, and no unnecessary suffering. Trust me… once you see this, you’re not going back.

If you grow strawberries in a greenhouse, high tunnel, or hydroponic system, this is one winter prep step you’ll actually enjoy doing.

👇 Quick question: do you cut your strawberries back for winter, or let them go wild?
Stick around — spring results are coming.

If you grow strawberries in:
• Greenhouses
• High tunnels
• Hydroponic BATO bucket systems
• Raised beds or garden rows

…this winter prep method matters.

You’ll see:
• How much foliage to remove before dormancy
• Why clean cuts now = healthier plants later
• How to avoid pest and disease issues over winter
• The difference between slow hand tools vs powered pruning
• What NOT to skip if you want strong spring regrowth

This tool was sent to us by SEESII, and it fits perfectly into real-world seasonal cleanup — especially when you’re working with a lot of plants and limited time.
