Another fantastic video from Farmhand Mike!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@georgephillips1185]

👍 thank you Mike for your very informative video about silage and manure injection also dairy operations

[@charlesjenkins8078]

Great job Mike.This stuff never gets old, Thanks

[@0796logsplitter]

Very impressive Mike, great to see the big operations over the pond.seasons greetings from the UK 🇬🇧

[@jimzoesch5799]

Great video. Love all your farming content. Thanks for sharing.

[@tonyalbers9985]

I wish I could go with you to one of these dairy farms to see their operation. The manure injector had steering in front and rear axles was something I've never seen before. Once again another great video of Farmhand Mike!!

[@JacobDoffing42]

I work for a farm in NW Sumner County in South Central Kansas near the town of Conway Springs. They bag corn silage and alfalfa silage and this past fall, they hired a dairy that owns a Claas Jaguar self propelled chopper and they cut 4 bags of silage. The farm I work for had irrigated corn that was cut for grain with a John Deere 9660 STS and a John Deere 893 manuel adjust deck plate corn head. I ran their grain cart with a John Deere 8120 with tinted windows and the grain cart was an A&L F705, 700 bushel cart. The irrigation made 195 bu/ac, and there was about 10-12 acres of dryland corn that wasn't chopped. That corn yielded 129 bu/ac.

Thanks for the great video mike!

Awesome food -> lucky cows -> tasty milk! 😉 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Mike, I can't help compare our systems here in NZ, with your USA systems, ours are largely grass based, with a small amount of maize silage, cows are mainly out in the paddock for 365 days of the year, I recall the largest farm I milked on which was 500 cows in two herds, one paddock got a bit messed up the boss disappeared for an hour with a bag of grass seed, 2 rounds later the paddock was back in the rotation, thanks for sharing

Great video Mike - would love to see more of the Dairy operation.

Awesome video my friend Happy New Year

[@markreetz1001]

Great video Mike. That Challenger tractor looks pretty Intimidating!

[@abeck7199]

Mike my dad is the dairy nutritionist for martig farms. All the guys there are good guys. You should see them feed

[@404nitro]

Excellent video Mike, and so nice to get to watch silage chopping/packing right now while the weather is crap. Happy New Year to you and your family and stay safe this weekend!

[@gielvandengoor7062]

Nice Video Happy New year

[@MyPromixdirt]

great video n a beauty of a farm too.

[@2cylinderjohndeere720]

I have been by that farm a quite a bit the last few years on my way to Bunker Hill Shootout where they have truck and tractor pulls in the summer. I am pretty sure that their 9630 and some of their other equipment helps prep the pulling track which is about a mile from that farm. The last time that I was by there was in July on my way home from Millersburg Ohio as I went by Royer Farms right before Martig Farms on purpose as they are both really nice dairy farms!

[@SimonKL11]

The nuhn tanker is one impressive machine😉👍 great to see a chopper out in the field👍😁 Happy new year👍

[@marcelocunico6119]

Great vídeo Mike.

[@BRPFan]

Good video Mike! Would love to see more from this farm! Looks like a very nice clean good sized dairy farm!

[@chrisgossman6512]

Nice work on this video. Thanks for sharing. Happy subscriber 😀. Kind of glad I do not have smell a vision on the manure portion on this one.

[@rongrose3746]

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!

[@jerrydowell1660]

i worked for a guy in the late 80s we choped sillage pile but whet we did was drive the tractor and wagon on top of the pile ea time until it got to the point we had to pile it out side and then use the tractor to push the pile up his structure was a boarded up are and wood post and t post holding it together he feed beef cows with that silage

[@jacobwallbrown2342]

Martig’s have a great operation, and it’s just 10 minutes down the road from us in Deerfield

[@jetegtmeier71]

Wow now thats a biology lesson from a farm equipment channel LOL I had no idea there was a proper cut length for health reasons :)

[@farminstoltzfus]

I think Martigs are on Instagram. Love to see how that 8100 and frac tank is setup with remote control.

[@keenankelley187]

Looks like a Hainsworth frac tank? Any idea how big there diller tankers are? Awesome vid

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

In your description it says a dairy cat herd. I've never seen one of them 😂

[@simonsmit4005]

Would be great to see a planting video of this farm

[@ovidiuciuparu6421]

What is the advantage of injecting the manure vs just spread it on the surface? This is flat ground…after rain the manure nutrients will..go down anyway… Can you explain this ?

[@jetegtmeier71]

Hi Mike, I've been subed for a while now and was wondering what drone you have, I have a Mavic2 zoom myself. Maybe a video on your equipment would be cool. I'll bet a "Safari" outfit with misquito mesh would be nice when your getting pelted with the silage while taking those shots :)

[@Torchedini]

No milk robots yet? They seem to have taken over here for a lot of operations here in the Netherlands

[@terrywilkinson381]

Got A Real Tractor Doing The Dirty Work Lol

[@oldad6207]

How many are they milking?

[@terrywagner1308]

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

Those 2wd 8000 series have got to be one of the ugliest tractors ever made. Great video Mike thank you !

[@jasonvanerk8158]

Will there come a video of corn silage on Van Erk dairy?

[@farmhandmike]

Where is that dairy located?

[@jasonvanerk8158]

@@farmhandmike it's located in Payne Ohio, you have made a video there before with the Fendt tractor and USA push wagon

[@Geoscot]

Do they ever use a vibrating roller on the pits?

[@farmhandmike]

I don't know that Ive ever seen one on a silage pile.

[@0796logsplitter]

10th generation dairy farmer does with good results…. Check his channel out. Another smart US dairy farm that i follow from here in the UK🇬🇧 👍

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video mike. Huge operation , love those blue silos . Are any of the silos filled with silage too ?

[@farmhandmike]

I think they use a couple of the silos for grain for the bird feed operation.

[@farmshoffman8475]

[@michaelelledge5987]
