One thing I am surprised they didn't show was shelling corn out of the cribs in the spring. I started working on a dairy/sheep farm farm in the 80s. We had a Gehl Brothers two row self propelled chopper we used to open the corn fields up. We did the rest of the chopping with a New Holland two row behind a 2590 Case. We had a 20×60 silo to fill, plus a large wooden corn crib and several wire cribs. We used two New Idea pickers. One had a sheller on it. We filled the cribs and ground the ear corn out for the cows. Then we shelled the rest with the pickers sheller. We stored the shelled corn in the chopper wagons, hay wagons lined with plywood and all our gravity wagons. That corn was fed to the sheep. The one thing about sheep we didn't have to grind their feed. If we needed a field opened that we weren't able to do at the time we filled silo, we had a neighbor who would open the fields for us with a picker mounted on a Farmall M.

I am a now day 4th generation farmer, most of what was said in this video is very much true today. Things that have happened since the video was made is that Farms have gotten much larger. The negative thing about larger farms is that little towns and schools that sprung up along the railroads are losing population. The only crops I have a chance of making a profit are corn and soybeans, I would love to have the option of raising wheat, oats, barley or flax , these are crops we used to raise, but price and elevators that buy them are too far away to make it practical. The positive things are no-till which require less labor, less erosion and moisture saving all this has more than doubled our corn yields, but it has helped fuel larger operations. Plowing is extremely rare in my area and very few farmers under the age of 60 have ever operated a plow. Prices are more volatile than ever along with input costs much higher than ever, stress levels are at an all time high. I wish I could turn back the clock to a more simple time where small towns and schools are thriving, unfortunately those days are over and will not be coming back.

@thomaselittle7822
@thomaselittle7822 Жыл бұрын
The silo keeps oxygen out. Also fermentation takes place acting as preservative. About 2 to 4 inches fed off the top daily keeps away any spoilage.
@danw6014
@danw6014 3 ай бұрын
To add to the other comment. As you fill the silo, the weight compresses silage. It was nothing to see it settle two or three feet over night. On silos we weren't going to feed out of for a while, we covered the silage with plastic. When we wanted to start using that feed we might have to clean off the top eight or so inches and throw it out. Now we use a bunk silo and a flat pad of cement to store feed for 400 milking cows, and heifer. The silage or haylage is hauled in with trucks and dumped. Then we use a tractor with a dozer blade to shape the pile and pack it down with the weight of the tractor. Its then covered with plastic and tires. This is much faster to harvest and feed out. All the same miss filling the uprights.

The first few sentences sum up one the problems at the heart of climate change: corn is grown to provide food for animals which in turn are slaughtered for meat. This is a very inefficient (and unhealthy) way to supplied human protein food needs. Much better to eliminate livestock from the chain and for humans to eat only corn-based products instead.

Look at the nutrition in animal products and meat compared to corn and corn based processed food. I’ll take the meat any day and so would most people. Climate change is a serious issue but everyone is point fingers and the wrong people because that’s what celebrity’s and every other radical environment nazi who’s knows nothing more than what Facebook and twitter tell them. How many buffalo were in the great planes before any domestic cattle? Why was there no climate emergency? They were all much larger grazing animals that produced methane from their farts and burps. Look at population density’s, air traffic, coal burning.
