1st time seeing your videos and what a great one to start with!!! From 🇮🇪 so can relate to your farming and country’s ways 😃😍👍🏻 AND I’m also from Cork!!!

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Awesome thanks man! 👍

[@kronosgameid]

Sidney and Dennis did not seem too keen on being KZbin famous. lol. Great drone shots. Really captured the harvest magic!!

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Haha yeah they were a bit camera shy! Thanks for watching 👍

[@sergiobovio3861]

Amazing video!!! Good job from Italy!

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks!! 🤙

[@aidenbettridge4878]

Very good shots with the drone. I seen an interesting way on how to cover your bunker from an American KZbin channel they lined the outside of the walls with wrap and then when the stack is done you could pull the sides of the wrap over top of your maize/silage then it was properly sealed around the edges and had minimal wastage pretty interestinf

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yeah it reckon that’s the ideal way to do it aye, I might give it a go next time

[@goldfire1676]

Awesome video super drone shots

[@metalmulishanz]

Those drivers have some awesome skills! Impressive.

[@timlawlor8232]

[@lukeduke3001]

with a name like yours you got to be a Irish lad to half of the nz population have a bit of Irish in us

[@tabeverheij7115]

seems to work great, twin row! what is the yield increase... and what density do you seed? nice to see how you work at the other side of the world. funny because spring is on his way here in France

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Good question, but I’m not sure if there was any difference to be honest, it was pretty similar to other years yields, plant at 95,000/ha. Thanks for watching 👍

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, it seemed to go very quickly if you where going for Breakfast at the end, thanks for sharing

[@Cathal-lt2kn]

when the maize is nearly ready it seems like it takes forverrr to dry :(

[@danielfarrell7019]

Do u put an additive on the maize

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yes, I’m not sure what it is called tho, the contractor sorts it out

[@abecoulter8550]

Bahahahahahahahahahhahahaaha classic..another Coulter.....well james if you read this..my great grandparents are from Ireland too...

[@HACKSAW1110]

Yes there are people from germany watching ☺

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Awesome! 👌

[@robertrecher254]

A Bayern boy in New Zealand, lucky guy!! What does it cost you to get that team into do everything for you?? Do you chop at your father farm to??

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Haven’t got the bill yet, but the cost to grow & harvest is roughly .21cents /kgDM. Yes it’s on his farm 👍

[@rancher4911]

That’s the winter feed sorted then nice job

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Next summers feed, I don’t feed any supplement through the winter (there will be hay feed this winter tho)

[@lakijose5994]

Amazing

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks 👍

[@JohnVanRuiten]

I see you do it like here in America. So different than when I was a kid growing up on a dairy farm in Southern California until the age of 10. They only had grain when milking.

[@maiconfarias6394]

congratulations , how many hectares are planted with corn?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I usually plant 5ha

[@eamonnoneill1340]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer so that crop was 100 tonnes from five hectares which is 20 tonne per hectare here in lreland where I have maize it usually yields around 50 tonne per hectare any idea why there's such a massive difference?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I think it yielded about 23t/ha but I was talking dry matter sorry, would probably be pretty similar to yours as I assume your talking wet weight??

[@eamonnoneill1340]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer so 23tonnes dry matter per hectare at about 33%dry matter would give you 70 tonnes full cut weight which is very impressive compared to the 50tonnes full cut weight and 20tonnes dry matter per hectare here in Ireland

[@eamonnoneill1340]

Sorry that's more like 17tonnes dry matter per hectare at 33% of 50tonnes.

[@adamhorgan5872]

You can't go at silage with out the Irish turning up

[@karlmorgan3678]

The Waikato and fog, name a more iconic duo 😂

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Haha pretty much!

[@daireharlin7681]

Do you put a cover over the pke or is it an issue if it gets rained on

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I don’t during the summer but if there’s a bit of rain coming I do, so I’ll cover it now till the end of the season

[@rdekort9273]

Looks dryer in the pit then it did in the field

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yeah that’s what I thought too!

[@dre96324]

Great job.first time I see the twin roll. On corn silege.so how many plants per hectare there ? Here in santa catarina state ,brasil we work with 80000 seeds per hec.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]
