Chopping Corn Silage On A Wisconsin Dairy Farm! Part Two (Harvest Season 2023)

[@bradfordricher3685]

I watch your videos with my morning coffee. Great way to start my day. Thanks so much.

[@dennyboie2643]

You bring back memories for sure. I spent at least 5 summers on my Aunt and Uncles small dairy farm I loved every mi ute of the time spent there. I would either take the bus or get a ride there as soon as school was out. I would stay until school started again. The problem was school started to soon and I missed silo filling. We combined oats around the end of July and put up a lot hay and straw. I really appreciate your videos, I miss the farm but it wasn't possible. Retired and enjoy your videos 9:08

I add a 3point hog cage/ hauler filled with firewood if I need to add weight to the back of my 4020. I can easily take it off when I take the loader off

[@brendafarris7590]

Must feel wonderful to have such a bounty tucked away for the winter. Many thanks for sharing.

[@jeffblake6466]

Chopping silage was always my best time of the the smells and feeling of having feed for the year

[@johnhenderson299]

Quite the video what a great team

[@logenninefingers383]

As usual, it was great to watch👍🇵🇱

[@mrt4547]

Watched your video of making pile by the barn and it reminded me of a story from an old coworker. He bought a brand new Kewanee 500 elevator in the mid 70's. Before he even used it himself his friend asked to borrow it. They had it a week and used it to fill a fairly large bunker of corn silage. They had it over a week. When they returned it they had already removed 3 links of chain because it had worn that much unloading the silage. He said he almost cried.

Some of the best conversations I have had has been with my cows I miss them.

[@8tomtoms8]

I do too.

[@magpie5710]

Thanks for the vlog. A few scary moments on that pile's edge. Get some sleep, lots more coming.

[@dalemayes3854]

Very much enjoyable 😉

[@anthonyhengst2908]

That's a heck of a pile!!

[@gregcatlett1458]

Need to hear the air horn on the fender of the open station 7405 JD 👍. Rented a Gehl 1065 to use the crop processor and that header was my only disappointment also,poor cutting and gathering of the stalks. Use to the N H 900 an the 824 corn head. Thanks again young man!!!

[@Deadeye-zr2kb]

Great video it takes a lot of work to pile it up thanks for taking the time to show us

[@dekdek551]

Absolutely 💯 brilliant, I could almost smell the silage. Take care and greetings to all from Bonnie Scotland 💕.

[@bobrat]

I really enjoy the day to day of dairy farm education you all have shared. Thank you. Your camera wirk has really improved over this l todays video is a orime example!!ast year.

[@mikeburgan7675]

Stay safe and happy !

[@stanhensley3082]

For as dry as the growing season was the corn really pilled up!! Will make good feed this winter. Thanks 😊.

[@johnnye747]

We have a dairy In Utah. We pride ourselves on an extremely detailed preventative maintenance program. We understand how important it is. You guys do as well. I’m really impressed how you do an excellent job with the little things. You have a lot less operators than we do. I might be a bit envious….Thank you for the nice videos. We used to dairy in Connecticut then moved out west to dairy. You have a nice operation.

[@jameschapman6908]

I'm curious as to why you don't build a bunk silo in the hill across from the 22:28 barn? Cut it out and pour concrete walls and floor. Maybe it's farther away than it looks in the videos. Love watching you guys . It's as close to farming as I get now days.

[@nickkorzeniewski230]

Yeeehaww my goodness what a big harvest this year y’all have been very blessed this year keep up the great work y’all

[@anthonyblalock1790]

Great job and great family. You guys are really a good part of my day

[@williamhicken1206]

You and your wife looked very happy at your wedding.

[@randycharest4507]

Enjoyed watching the video guys 😊

[@billyhenry3029]

Hey buddy just wanted to say I appreciate the video that is a lot different way of putting up silage than what we did see a lot of under ground pits but not any piles but for me it's very interesting thanks for the video keep them coming

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

I can just smell that awesome corn. Thank you for sharing your day. I pray you all have a safe and bountiful harvest. God bless.

[@niallcasey2057]

I know concrete bunkers are expensive, but there's a lot less waste and much safer. . I don't see many open pits or clamps as we call the pile here . The all here two walls so you can still drive up and over jus a bit safer . Thanks for always going to great lengths to show us your way of doing things. To each his own.

[@raymondhenderson1516]

Wow what a pile. Looks a little precarious there,but glad you're almost done and everyone is staying safe.Hope corn harvest goes smoothly. May you and your family continue to be blessed.

[@pleasantviewfarms2084]

Man I sure wish I was Steve ! I sure miss chopping silage

[@LukeLong-oi4uc]

Nice work! You guys work very well together.👍🏼

[@PaulTighe-e2n]

Great video

[@tomadelsberger6101]

It looks like the chopper repair worked Well Done keep up the good work

[@DonWelter]

Working the top of the pile isn't for the feint of heart!!! Looks like you've got things down to a science for keeping it all moving.

[@ryanwaege7251]

😂 Watching those girls go nuts for the fresh silage made me laugh! People don't know, it takes a bit to get a mature milk cow moving like that, they're usually pretty sedate.

[@benwalter4148]

Impressive work with those tractors! Glad those piles have friction, you guys have to drive right up to the edges!

[@virginiagraber9070]

🌽🌽🌽👌Thanks (N.G- Indiana)

[@randybennett5417]

I saw something being done at another farm. To make a stable bunk for silage, they line round bales up along the sides to stabilize it. Stack the bales as height for walls is needed. Something to consider.

[@Blackwellll3066]

Another great video.....I'm courious if yall would ever bag silage and leave the bags in the feilds

[@geraldsundberg3610]

What does the inoculant consist of? I am thinking like a yeast type.

[@fastsetinthewest]

I like the way Veeser Cattle does it.

[@jamesbristow5740]

So, with the pile. Do you just inevitably get some soil mixed in when scooping in or do you leave a layer on the ground? Is there spoilage on the uphill side from rainfall runoff? I love the way you guys farm, seems like a great life.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

How tall do you the pile might have been at this point? Looks like a tiring day. Thanks for the video.

[@timlueth7951]

Have you seen the Bergman Agri Speed Hitches. They would speed up your turn around time both at the field and at the pile.

[@ethanlee9441]

A little tired were you😂

[@frankallen9419]

Love your videos reminds me of the days carrying milk in pails dumping it into a filter strainer on top of the milk cooler. And on hot days taking a stainless steel cup and getting ice cold milk out of the cooler 😋

[@clinthochrein888]

I'd be shaking a bit going over the pile that high.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I made a mistake of putting up a pile where my (late) mother could see it, standing at the kitchen window. She really put up a fuss, and my Dad finally told her to go sit down and let me pack the pile. Kept the wheels down and trays in the upright position. 😅

[@clinthochrein888]

[@randysipp8193]

Hello guys from Ohio just wondering is that a township road or your lane that runs by your silage pile thought I seen delivery truck go by always wondered what where lane and what roads in your area great videos as usual enjoy them be safe see ya

[@CuriousEarthMan]

speaking out of turn: pvt ln.

[@Travis_Rivers]

When it comes to the UPS they cannot go home till there load or loads are done for that day atleast here in Vermont

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

In the old days, when I was but a pup, a person would stand there and toss a handful of salt on the silage as it was being blown into the silo. The Amish still do it that way for their hay etc.

[@big.g.fromohio3546]

These guys salt their hay

[@VanSmith07]

Around here the Amish buy most of their hay. They also take advantage of the elderly and use them as a taxi service. They use power tools, generators hydraulic sawmills and pay people with heavy equipment to clear, plow and plant their land. All to keep up the fake image people have of them.

[@tractordan933]

That whole operation looks so dangerous. Great looking corn crop.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

It's only dangerous when you don't pay attention.

[@davegenske8973]

Nice work. Question why do you wait to hook up the pto for the chopper box until your on the silage pile ? Think it would better to do that on the ground where it’s more stable

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

The edges are the killers, but have to be packed. Have you tried backing up the sides (2wd), or driving up and down cross ways with 4wd to get there packed right? Great video!

[@ernesthouse4706]

How do you guys think the 10 series Deeres compare to the new ones. Not talking about price just quality, to me the 10 series are some of Deere’s best compared to anything or any manufacturer produced today but that’s just my opinion

[@richardmcpherso5759]

You is Steve

[@RandyKlager-tm7yn]

Why don't you use your Rex silage wagon?

[@petartprbalan7587]

😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidwhittredge-rr7ti]

Farmers put in CRAZY hours!! I remember working 12-14 hrs a day 7 days a week when working for my grandfather on the dairy.

[@paulmartin8784]

Bags are a lot easier My feed nutritionist tell s me i have less dry matter loss with bags Is he right,i dont know but its a lot less work,but you guys are still young

[@mikeapenhorst7706]

Hello does it really help to have the duals on for packing silage I didn't know if a guy should have them on or not. I cut my side walls of the hold down tires use a utility knife works good kinda like them work great

[@geraldsundberg3610]

Is there a reason you don't use a bagger?

[@Navet63]

It seems like that silage is not very green. Are you chopping corn later this year?

[@MatthewLawton-t5f]

About how many acres of corn do you plant for chopping and grinding?

[@minidigger1000]

Make your pile a little bit wider you will have less problems with it

[@travisvolf1804]

Do you grow bmr corn for silage or do you grow conventional corn??

[@crazyhass84]

No rear unload wagons?! Just asking to dump a wagon off the side! Heck we had rear unload in the 1980s! U need some speed to get on pile! I use to pull on piles 2x that high with a 4020! U have 4x4. Zero reason to be getting stuck.

Why don't you have fluid in all the tires on the John deers with 4-4 drive

[@RichardGill-pt8zk]

What county do you farm in ??

[@jamesropp9734]

DEF is what everyone call government juice. Diesel Exhaust Fuel

[@ethanlee9441]

Chase any deer out of the corn by you guys??

[@markpigman209]

Why don't you just make pile longer instead of getting stuck or using two tractors
