Welcome to Peterson Family Farm. On this KZbin channel, we plan to show viewers what happens on a real life family farm in Kansas. From working with animals, to planting seeds, to harvesting grain, to putting up hay, to fixing equipment, you'll get to see what farming is like! Our farm is a 5th generation farm started in 1882 by our great great grandparents. We grow wheat, corn, soybeans, milo, sunflowers, and forages and we feed about 1,000 head of cattle. To learn more about it, watch our channel intro video here: • Welcome to Our New You...

Kansas is a great state for farming! It's like mowing the corn like a lawn mower with a catcher for the pieces mowed that just needs dumping. Silage looks dry. Thanks for the education!!

[@hyperjen1]

Does anyone else have the urge to go open both doors of those trucks and grab the air compressor and blow the dust out from one side to the other? Just watching them get in makes me feel gritty LOLOLOL

[@abelwild2383]

Great video, as always, Greg! Thanks for clarifying the whole process! Hope you and yours are staying safe.

[@gamingfalcons9215]

Pooooooooooooooo

[@felipeschmidt4849]

Hi thanks for the video. Greatings from Paraguay south America. My grandparents came from Kansas. Good to see the good yeald of the corn.

[@rshoemaker7368]

Learned a lot today. Thank you!

[@theda850two]

,,,, That cutting head on your forage harvester always gets my attention! Never used one like that. looks like it does a great job,!

[@icecrystal112]

Does the cutter not have rollers that destroy the bits of cob?

[@Jim_Austin]

Very interesting and impressive, thanks!

[@salvador345]

Nice vídeo man🤟🤟🤟

[@russrobinson3]

First Time Watcher Very Interesting = Thanks Peterson Family Farmer's > Russ Robinson Ann Arbor , Michigan > GO BLUE Mens Football UM ! ! !

[@hoosierplowboy5299]

I am not an expert, but that is some of the best corn I have ever seen! Congratulations!

[@karljacobson1575]

Nothing like the smell of corn silage!

[@wallaceloan4169]

Great video and team work to get your corn silage in the clamp. Nice crop and will feed a few cows.

[@johnperry5102]

great video, you guys do a really fantastic job on your farm

[@davevaughn6293]

Great video love the great state of Kansas.

[@dominicholt9040]

you guys are amazing. i really like you parodies

[@holliboll2785]

Nice we are going to start chopping soon too

[@mennoreuten1563]

Notice that the cornels where not hit hard so its a lot harder for cattle to get the content and that what it is all about in my opinion thanks for the video greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@kristenscott9438]

Such a wonderful video! I absolutely love the fresh chopped smell of hay and corn silage! Hope you guys got some rain yesterday! We finally did last evening through this morning!

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Still haven't gotten any as of yet but a good chance tonight!

[@kristenscott9438]

@@petersonfamilyfarm1778, such a bummer! Hoping it won't be that gully washing rain either! Continued prayers for you guys and the rain to!

[@uemfbc]

I'm just a city boy who's loving your content. Your videos always get me excited to play FS19 haha. Keep it up!

[@crystalpowell293]

I hat city boys

[@willgaukler8979]

...that does look like great corn too...

[@jaybernieschoep3491]

great video. have thought of trying picker grinding ear corn for cattle feed. put 6 row 30 inch corn head on the chopper or a 4 row 30 corn head on the chopper. grind it at 25 percent moisture.

[@russrobinson3]

I watch > Brain Family Farm , How Farms Work, Iowanfarmer, Cole the Cornstar and Larson Family Farm Too !

[@yousifhappycowfarm1172]

Very nice good job

[@greghagedorn9146]

why don't you run a processor in stead of a wind tunnel? and what model of Kemper head is that we run a 5830 4wd with a 676 small drum Kemper head

[@craigmonty8343]

No better smell than chopping corn in the fall!!!👍🏻

[@hoosierplowboy5299]

I vote for the first cut of hay...

[@kevinleet79]

Cool video, I just bought a 5730, hope it runs like y'all's

[@jeffdraper5523]

Do you cover your silage pit to help with the fermentation?

[@angiekhaines9692]

That was cool

[@curthiggins8792]

Cattle must love that stuff ...

[@shawnmcreynolds3193]

you guys have a good corn and feed sil we have not cut are feed yet but we will soon. you guys doing a good job send more you do shawn mcreynolds famer woodston,ks

[@alwaysinblue]

Great video. Is that smoke coloring the sunset? I want a t-shirt like you're wearing!

[@huibzonderland5402]

no kernel processor? i was always told the whole kernels pass right through a cow and do not digest?

[@TheBenbeyer]

When does sorghum silage harvest start?

[@gonzokompadre]

crop insurance adjuster inspects standing corn...explain...thanks

[@user-hu8ph1le4o]

Супер!

[@daleschmidtz1711]

Don't you have a corn prosser on the self-propelled

[@ildairyfarmer2436]

Those white Columbias!!! I’ve got 2 on my dairy farm. I’ve always said there like a Chevy Cobalt... extremely functional but just not cool

[@american_patriot1776]

I love Chevy cobalts

[@bradpettit8177]

That’s some little corn. Where you located?

[@buddyzmama1]

Running on high speed in the trench made it sound like a power drill or cheep hairdryer was running instead of a big Deere

[@jeffmichel4442]

Just curious. You mentioned leaving rows for insurance adjuster. If you corn did so well why do you have an insurance adjuster coming to look at it?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Because technically when you chop the corn you are "destroying" it before grain harvest. The insurance adjuster appraises it because of this, but we won't get any payout because it will be appraised well above the amount where we would get a payment.

[@JackFrost-mt5dh]

Can the silage chopper tell you how many tons per Acer you are getting? Like the combine tells you the bushels per acre and the moister content.

[@MrMagnum7220]

Too old for that kind of technology

[@cassidylockard1527]

Hey I’m new to the ch. how many acres do y’all have?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

[@robbybachmann8061]

No processor??

[@tompreiss5010]

Why is the corn not cracked????

[@scottjenkins4613]

So how many cows does 100 acres of silage feed? How long will it ferment and then how long will it last when you start using it for feed? Is it feed supplement or does it stand for 100% of the feed when it is in use?

[@matthias4971]

So how many cows does 100 acres of silage feed? -> Depens on the percentage in the ratio but around 100 cows (including the heifers and bulls of those cows) How long will it ferment and then how long will it last when you start using it for feed? -> Takes 6 weeks to ferment and when you open it you should be feeding the part that is around oxygen within 2 days. Is it feed supplement or does it stand for 100% of the feed when it is in use? -> It is about 40-50% of the ratio in cow feed

[@scottjenkins4613]

Woot best answer ever, thanks!

[@basketballbros3703]

Peterson farm Bros could you explain the reason for putting sides on your truck to chop corn?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

It gives the chopper more space to blow into the truck! Plus, you can fill it up a little more.

[@ole_cool8892]

Greetings from Germany

[@mach533x]

what part of germany? My family came from Braunschweig to america in 1949.

[@ole_cool8892]

In the Münsterland in Holtwick

[@chaseallen808]

Why don’t you guys put some of the corn through a roller mill

[@craigschnake5536]

when the dew stets at night can u still chop corn?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

It hasn't rained for a month here so there is no dew!

[@craigschnake5536]

Peterson Family Farm ah that would make sense 🤣🤣 I guess I don’t is my head because u said that in the vid

[@garywesterman6347]

[@mikecox9214]

Do you use any inoculants on corn silage?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Yes forgot to mention that. That's what the tank is on the side of the chopper, puts on inoculant as we chop.

[@tomgready5473]

I have to laugh when I hear people from America say “ we haven’t had rain 3 weeks “ and I think to myself how would they go here in Australia not having rain for 3 years in some parts of the country

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Yes, but when your operation depends on the "normal" amount of rain to be profitable, 3 weeks hurts a lot worse than in places like Australia where they are used to longer droughts and less rainfall. The "severity" of a 3 week dry spell is different everywhere you go. In Kansas we went from 100% of our yield expectations to maybe 40-50%. In Australia it would've hardly budged in 3 weeks based on expectations. I'm not saying the droughts in Australia aren't severe or heartbreaking, but to laugh at Americans because they've lost half their crop in 3 weeks isn't really fair. Australia plants lower populations, more drought tolerant crops, and their businesses are better set up to have extremely low yields and rainfalls. etc. Kansas can raise 150 bu corn but it may drop down to 50 if there's a dry spell. It just doesn't work to compare weather in different places in the world.

[@copper44]

You should of put forage harvester your old Parody over this video

[@deweyray1987]

Might wanna wipe down the inside of the trucks.. looked disgusting in ther, LoL

[@matthias4971]

the chopper is not that good, corn should be cracked. It will not be very digestable otherwise.

[@bobearl7859]

Boy that corn's not very tall

[@kevintanner4881]

You guys got to take a hoes and wash that truck out and clean it 🙏🙏🙏🙏 clean it I like a clean trucks 😜🐱😜😂🤣
