Chopping Corn Silage, Milking Cows & Hauling Manure at Martig Farms

Chopping Corn Silage, Milking Cows & Hauling Manure at Martig Farms
In this KZbin video I visit Martig Farms Inc. near Beloit Ohio as they chop corn silage for their dairy cow herd and haul liquid manure from the farm out to the field. I talk about families farming and bird feed operation in Northeast Ohio and explain what is going on in the video.
A Big thank you for them inviting me out for the video and hope to make it back for some more farming videos in the future.

👍 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

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

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

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

[@jimzoesch5799]

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

[@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

[@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!!

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.

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 :)

[@andrewbeck7199]

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

[@kennethorton3661]

Awesome video my friend Happy New Year

[@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!

[@marcelocunico6119]

Great vídeo Mike.

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

[@farminstoltzfus]

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

[@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 :)

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

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

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

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

[@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.

We use them to put feed additives in for the cows

Nice.

Would be great to see a planting video of this farm

[@paulpochan9631]

Nice.... What no dump carts...???

[@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 ?

[@JokerXD-dg5ne]

Farm sim 22 is so realistic wow

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

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

Where is that dairy located?

Do they ever use a vibrating roller on the pits?
