Chopping Corn Silage & Pumping Cow Manure near Greensburg Indiana - Hulbosch Dairy

Chopping Corn Silage & Pumping Cow Manure near Greensburg Indiana - Hulbosch Dairy
In this video I am out at Hulsbosch Dairy farm near Greensburg Indiana as they chop corn silage and build a silage pile that will be used to feed their dairy cow herd over the next year.
They have a lot going on in this video. They are running two Claas Jaguar 970 self propelled forage harvesters in different fields with a mix of different brand tractors and silage trailers. Back at the farm at the silage pile they are running 6 different 4WD articulated tractors to push and pack the pile.
The farm is also busy pumping out the manure lagoons at the farm and drag lining the manure on the harvested corn fields that will be used as fertilizer for next years crop.

Even though it has been 55 years since the family made silage, it still brings back memories. There is something about silage videos that bring back smell memories.

Yesterday I was chopping ear silage

[@ibrahimsarrah1278]

فيديو رائع

[@joelg8004]

That’s a beautiful farm. Blown away they are pumping that manure from 3 miles away 🤯

[@swagzoneus]

Good video!! Maybe you have covered this in a previous video, but I would like to see how they go about covering the silage pile with tarps and tires. Otherwise, I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@scottpykare801]

It's that time of year. Looking forward to many harvest videos from ya Mike.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Mike, This must rate up there with some of the custom harvest crews as a subject for a video, thanks for sharing

[@HAWVER4U]

Know them well, best operation I've ever been too.

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

A few thousand ton of silage!!!!!!! (maybe more than I think)

[@jrstractors]

When the corn is finished its time to spread some manure after

[@deplorablelibertarian]

My uncle always got the fields tested after we got corn done. Sometimes it wasn’t leached of nutrients, so we didn’t spread manure. Those fields might be okay.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Great video Mike 👍. I went from north central Indiana up to Beloit WI this week to see some friends, saw a lot of chopping going on up that way.

[@jamesharrod8733]

i been past that dairy big place

[@sean3223a]

Great video, as always, throughout its entirety. Such an unexpected welcome treasure to hear good and appropriate and enjoyable accompanying music starting circa minute 18, makes for a stellar video as a whole, alongside your good knowledgeable commentary.

[@rogersteinberg2555]

Maybe you have covered this in a previous video, but I would like to see how they go about covering the silage pile with tarps and tires. Otherwise, I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@farmhandmike]

A video of covering the silage pile is on the list. I was thinking a corn silage video I did a few years ago at Convoy Dairy showed them covering part of the pile.

[@jeffreyhoover2105]

Mike this is real good video I would love to know how many cows they milk at this farm Mike. It is one big operation Thank you Mike I always enjoy watching your videos I never get tired of watching them Thank you GOD BLESS and keep up the good work.

[@Trooper4985]

That's awesome that an operation that size is not a corporate farm.

[@Andy-From-England]

Great video Mike 😊

[@robertreznik9330]

There is a family dairy near Dalhart that you could see for miles. I doubt you could video. I am thinking it would be the largest in the US or close after current expansion. To utilize the milk they have a large cheese factory.

[@jameskelley8839]

isn't there some disadvantages on using a tracked tractor on the pile? Don';t the rollers get gummed up?

[@staudtj1]

Man . . . I am Soooo glad this isn't Smellovision . . .

[@chrisgossman6512]

That pile/mound of silage is massive. How many acres does it take to build it? How many trailers loads? How many acres fit into one trailer? Good grief, I have questions. I like Mike. Happy subscriber 😊!

[@user-iy8px1dz8x]

Hay Mike what is the largest silage pile you ever saw

[@maximush9811]

Would there be any yield differences where the drag line tool bar inside wing turns

[@tucobenedicto109]

Mike nice silage video. Have you ever come across after harvest or at harvest, farms loading directly into a train from a truck with just kernels of corn or soy? Only saw it once on how farms work on you tube! If you have a link?

[@jermsmason2082]

I have noticed a lot of large dairy farms even around me will have one or two small field of corn around their barns, do have any idea why that is?

[@haroldcashion7942]

Mike, is it more cost effictive dragging all that hose compared to a tank? Great video!

[@garymurt9112]

It would depend on the situation, on this operation where they are pumping what looks to be millions of gallons in the application window, you would need a lot of tanks and that many more people hauling from the lagoon to the application, on smaller operations you could probably do tanks or if you had a large enough application window.

[@Venkman29]

Hi Mike Less great video. I have a question if forage harvester operator needs a rest room break does he switch out with tractor driver & to keep the operation moving or how do they work that out ?

[@user-kd6nx2jy8r]

you should check out congers lake farms when they do corn silage. they have a big operation

[@farmhandmike]

I’ve done two corn silage videos at Congress Lake Farms 2020 and 2021

[@varchasvpro851]

Did anyone noticed hares running away from Forage harvester @ 22:09

[@malcolmmeer9761]

I thought it was humorous was knifing in manure while directly across the road high school football game going on. Come to watch a game ànd smell our 'dairy air

[@jonharshman5824]

Mike, I know you are so you down at Louisville, Kentucky?

[@lenvangaalen5561]

How many tons of siledge are those trailers carring? Also the trailers have three axles with really large tires. Do the tires on the front axle turn with the tractor?? Or am I just seeing things.

[@lucswink]

The first and the last axle steer in opposite directions (called Cross-Steer or X-steer), the center axle doesnt.

[@wilfreddueck2052]

I’m curious on how many acres a day they are chopping?

[@farmhandmike]

I'll have to see if I can find out. I suppose a lot of it would depend on the field size as they have some pretty big fields and some smaller patches.

[@nathanstoltzfus9687]

How many cows do they milk?

[@farmhandmike]

I'll let someone who works for this farm answer that. I have a fairly good idea is all.
