Chopping First Cutting Hay! Part Two of Day Three! (2024 Hay Season)

We are on the home stretch of first crop silage! Today Owen and Mason both stay ahead of the chopper with the rake. I continue to build the pile as straight as possible. While Dad keeps filling wagons fast with the chopper. Just another great day of farming! Thank you all for watching!

Love how whole family pitches together to get it. Hot & hard work!

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Aaron, I hope ya'll are doing well, You gotta use the land you have, and as you said, that extra 2 acres helps out, I always watch to the end of your videos, even though I've farmed all my life, i really enjoy seeing how others raise their herds and grow their crops, very Cool indeed, Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

[@br927]

I hope Darby didn't give up because of getting stuck, Grown Men do that!!Owen, when I was a very young kid, my dad and Grandpa farmed together, we had horses and an old cornbinder, the cornbinder kept breaking down, and my Dad talked to Grandpa many times about getting another cornbinder but to no avail, so Grandpa was down unloading the corn, and the cornbinder broke down, so my Dad looks around and no Grandpa, he was on a slight slope, so, Dad unhitches the horses and the cornbinder went down the hill into a big stone pile and crashed and that is where it sat and rotted away, and we had another cornbinder!

Nice crop always nice to be done with 1st cutting

[@anthonyhengst2908]

I love it!!! First it was Darby and now It's Ma..... The packing ladies. Everybody gets involved, everybody. That's how it works on the family , FAMILY farm!!

[@tammygurke7482]

Aaron you have the most amazing video work. I LOVE GIRROK FARMS, and such a big fan. That hitch hiker is handsome ❤

[@stanhensley3082]

Wow,that blue sky and sunshine sure looked good. I think we have enough rain for a wail!!! Thanks 😊

[@williamhicken1206]

Feeding the nation. Kudos and great respect.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

That did look like quite a hill to me. Glad that things worked well. I would bet you were all pretty tired that night. Still think your dad is like the energizer bunny and everyone else is always moving too. Good Going. Take Care and May God Bless you all.

[@user-ed4ep1pd8t]

Reminds me of the good Ole days.we did everything with Ms and h tractors

[@timsticha650]

Awesome! Must be a great feeling to have 1st crop put to bed. and even better when you get good rain over the fields

[@DonWelter]

The packing crew just keeps a going!!! Might seem like a boring job, but probably one of the most important in the process. You definitely need the front-assist tractors for moving loads safely up the hills. All the hands have kept it all moving.

[@slaterider]

Lots of memories. Loved it.

[@tammygurke7482]

OWEN IS THE BOMB WITH THE CAMERA 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@billcornish529]

Yes, please make more cow bells.I will buy one.

[@crazyoldbat7600]

I sure liked having this first cut series. It's a good reminder that farming/haying doesn't happen in one romantic day. It's always good to see that tarp go on at the end.

[@gunnarbeck225]

You are an amazing efficient family

[@billcreed6882]

Really do enjoy this channel. Certain things remind me of when I was a kid on a small dairy farm in the late 50's/early 60's.. Yep, I'm old! Still have a ton of good memories!

[@clinthochrein888]

Fantastic video as usual

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Aaron

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Using the wagons to help pack the pile is a good idea! The psi is greater on the smaller tires, even with tandems. Most people have to max out the weight on the pushing/ packing tractor to do the same thing.👍

[@mikeburgan7675]

Awesome

[@joegarrison5720]

Thank you men for leting me tag a long for chopping hay i lve it

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO AARON ❤😊

[@Jacksonsfarmvideos2350]

Please make more cow bells they seem well built and unique

[@harveypenner2386]

Great Job...

[@davidrichter6210]

After reading the responses of my question of silo vs. Pile. I understand. The safety and liability of silos. Abs the insurance cost. It makes cents. Sense. Thank you!

[@davidrichter6210]

I like whole milk Good cheese. And good butter. But I still have to end with eat more pork!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Don't forget the taxes on a permanent upright silo! It's considered a building in my county. 🙄

[@Blackwellll3066]

Great video

[@tammygurke7482]

Owen that is beautiful area…

[@frankdeegan8974]

I am waiting for the bale elevator stacking the chopped corn on the pile by the barn.

[@user-qd1hx3fs1r]

I would love a cow 🔔!

[@paulreis1648]

Absolutely great pile . You guys are lucky we where in a drought for three years up here in northern Minnesota now it rains almost every day no first crop has been cut yet and any one that tried has gotten wet and rutted up the head lands

[@burtzorn4059]

You have to talk your dad in to bags . Lot easier and far better quality feed . Usually someone has a unit you can rent. Guys are usually good about working together so you can get it when you need it

[@garyforney9421]

I'm just curious what your Dad did before you boys were old enough to help. Did he work with other family members, or was it just him and your Mom ?

[@tammygurke7482]

Aaron do you plan on selling sweatshirts, big coffee mugs? I’ll buy. We already have some hats. They are good quality too.

[@JoaoPires-pd9ot]

Oi 👍👍👍👍👍

[@kjmatson3721]

Dang it I’m 17 minutes late!!!!

[@user-bv7gu7qt8h]

You labeled this video the 2024 hay season. But I assume that there will be a second and maybe a third cutting of alfalfa yet this summer. Will that be baled into small square bales or will you chop it also?

[@_Elijah_1979]

I take it your mom is camera shy? 😀

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

She often holds the camera. And does a great job!

[@brianwestveer9532]

So why dose the 1066 have only duals on one side

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I think they used it to cut the hay, and didn't want the extra tire matting down the swath.
