Chopping OATS 4 Feet Tall!

[@sammyhammy78]

Looks awesome! That field of oats is such a blessing!! Thinking of you and all the rest of the wheat farmers and praying for abundant yields and good prices! Thank you for all you do!

[@JC-uq5gi]

No luck. Corn and soybean farmers are high on the hog, as usual. Wheats been $5 or less for 25 years. That's not an accident.

[@bamanola3191]

Brings back great memories !! Great video, keep the videos coming

[@brianhaines6165]

What an awesome opportunity to get that field to do the oat crop. And I love how the whole family works together. Wish I had that here! Keep it up!

[@richardglazebrook583]

So cool with the drone video! Love it!

[@coyroberts8356]

Cool thanks 😊

[@garyberg]

what a great opportunity to farm good land and the crop looks great!

[@brenttully258]

Hi from the Tully farm in Manhattan Kansas.

[@oagrimmett]

Sometimes I miss working with a silage chopping crew! The oats looked awesome!

[@nutcase0001]

Wow! Amazing cutter and video!

[@glennarositch3388]

Wow, awesome drone video, beautiful fields! Great video, loved it❣️

[@ethanschmitz1333]

Hope y’all have a great day

[@stevemartinez6757]

I really enjoy watching your videos. If I could do it all over again I might have started farming at a young age. One suggestion for a video sometime would be to explain what some of the machines do and how they work.

[@V70170]

The video with the drone give us as viewers a nice overview from your activities.

[@davidsquall351]

That oat field looks as clean as can be!

[@johnperry5102]

it was great seeing that, awesome video

[@peterbiltpilot516]

I remember one year we had 125 bushel/acre oats. There was new seeding grass/alfalfa under it to that also did well

[@herbhouston5378]

Busy busy... You all know how to work!

[@glennspreeman1634]

awesome crop!!

[@shawnmcreynolds3193]

you guys do a good job. we never chopped oats we swath and bale it

[@randyloewen9234]

Awesome oat crop!

[@oldtimefarmer3405]

I remember watching Zack’s story hope he is still doing great 👍 it’s a small world even on here 😁

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video!!

[@theda850two]

Beautiful crop, great job Team 👏

[@jsmith9607]

GORGEOUS!!! !!! !!!

[@tinapadilla4755]

1st time watching this. Soo very interesting. Thank you for ALL as a family do.

[@somersfarm1921]

That is some extremely tall oats. It looks like the heads look full as well, I bet the yield would be great if you were going to harvest the oats.

[@jaybernieschoep3491]

Makes great silage feed

[@farmboy2848]

Beautiful !

[@jacolbyjones5348]

Had 6 foot tall triticale for spring harvest this year.

[@harshitbhlla1713]

good

[@ronniewalker2881]

good video man good job keep up the good work ethic

[@garybruno4360]

I always looked forward to hayin season, nothing like the smell of fresh cut hay. Wish I was their.

[@nutcase0001]

That's where we need smell-a-vision!

[@markklim1997]

Wow that’s one incredible oat field! It’s bone dry here in WA and the oats aren’t even 12in and already heading out.

[@joaosousa2649]

Nice

[@troybishoppthegrasswhisper3703]

looks like soil health really helped plus the rain

[@coyroberts8356]

Wow ok. 👍👍👍

[@curtisowens4588]

Nice video

[@chucksherland4901]

Is there much spoilage when you stack silage that high?

[@mwebesajr]

Does the tractor which chops the haylage have innoculants mixed in automatically?

[@jkrueger1957]

wow that is one pretty oats field

[@wilfharder3857]

Wow! What a crop of oats, how many inches of rain do u think the oats crop got while growing to the silage stage?

[@chrisvanbelle3269]

must be fun such a large fields here in Belgium it is a bit smaller. No nuisance from local residents. when we were chopping grass until two o'clock in the morning. the police came to stop us. a local resident had complained about the noise 🤦😂

[@anthonybanda8192]

That's awesome that you know zach short He is very inspirational. The fact that he went through what he did and lived to tell the tail proves that there is a higher power . Those oats are going to make great feed for your cattle. That kubota mower is nice . We have one similar to yours and we really like how well it performs. Great video keep up the good work and stay safe!

[@cajunnathan4586]

Question: storing the silage outside doesn't go BAD when it rains on it?

[@donmills5853]

What kind of oats

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

New subscriber. Man those are some beautiful oats!

[@cowboy2086]

What drone do you use

[@switzerblitzer2701]

Would it be safe to say the oats may have yielded 150 bushels per acre as a grain crop?? Oats makes great silage though. We used to chop some oats when short on feed in the early summer.

[@lesterhertel2945]

How wide is your mower

[@farly1428]

Holy smokes nice crop,we’re in a drought in sw Saskatchewan If my oats were half as good as that I’d be happy.

[@transactcredit]

How do you keep the dirt out of the silage? Are you dumping straight on the dirt?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

No it’s a concrete floor just dirt sides

[@lesterriddle6043]

What variety did you plant..we had forage oats years ago..that yours resembled?,…thanks

[@angiekhaines9692]

That is pretty from the sky

[@familyvlogs9105]

How about these markers? Got ulcers yet?

[@redeemedfarmer2670]

Wouldn't soil silo pits suck humidity from the soli edges? Just wondering Hello from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺...new to your channel

[@Automedon2]

I was thinking it looked like a natural place for rain to flow down too.

[@chrisanthony579]

My "city boy" question is why the crop doesn't ferment or spoil from humidity? If I create a pile of grass, it basically rots in a few days. Is it packed so tight that air can't get to it? Much respect to those that feed us but soooo many questions.

[@hansgrehoner9847]

oats loves cool wheather and a lot of moisture! did you hear from winteroats? it growes up to -12°C and gives between 7 and 8to yield with 15% moisture per ha.

[@bobblossom2713]

looks like a lot of bunk to me. 😍

[@francisgannon2417]

Hi guys what are you pulling on the back of your harvester and it's purpose love your content from Ireland

[@danadams3465]

Do you have to cover that oat silage to prevent spoilage? A lot of dry places in Canada and the states, you are fortunate to have the moisture.

[@humbertocastaneda8948]

What drone are you using?

[@ziauddin7948]

awesome & fantastic Oat harvesting , chopping & silage # but U have kept silage open air in bunker & did not cover it with plastic sheet which does not allow anaerobic fermentation of silage # yes corn , wheat , sorghum provide highest energy to cattle #

[@williamfields3827]

The farm I work for here in New Mexico we chopped 4 foot tall wheat for silage

[@timgeinger7189]

Fellas you’re the first bunch I’ve seen using a kubota disc mower on a cereal crop for silage. Is yours a rubber roller style crimper, or flail type? How did it perform? Any comments on it? I’m thinkin of getting one myself. Great vids guys

[@garrett2362]

What variety are those oats? Mine is only knee high and sta starting to head out. Made a lot of hay the last week and it has rained 5 inches here in the last 12 hours and going to rain for the next 3 days. My oats are going to look like straw when I get to them.

[@marianbirks6594]

What is Milo?

[@jfiery]

Not itchy at all I'm sure

[@JR-mv7uz]

Whats the protein level in this silage?

[@williammatzek4660]

What county are you in? We are in the Arkansas.river bottom.

[@paulcasefarms9933]

Really cool that you have so many classmates as neighbors in Agriculture. Do you all have all your feed stuffs tested or just go by an average to mix your rations?

[@johnperry5102]

what is the advantage of having dirt barriers over concrete

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Cheaper that’s about it

[@montiraruba2831]

We miss Laura. Tell her, we, fans miss her.

[@michealwhite8776]

Yeah need a bit of help by the sounds of things..but yous are doing good 👍

[@Traks_threw_life86]

Is that the smoky hill river or the saline river in the drone footage at the beginning. The rain we got this spring in Central Kansas did crops great this year. Looking forward to record breaking bushels if things stay good. Love the videos 📹

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

That is the Smoky Hill.

[@NordGermanicEmpire]

Enjoy it while it lasts because before you know it it'll be cold again in the midwest is the reason why left I got tired of it and move someplace warmer.

[@paulveenings6861]

Happy days when the oats are that high .

[@rebelgaming7718]

I never seen oats that tall mind me asking how did you guys get them that tall?

[@blaablaahi]

Rain

[@ethanringelberg9771]

How many ft wide is the discbine?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

13 ft

[@vernonwitman4774]

Did you guys ever think of pouring concrete walls for your silage pits

[@paulprigge1209]

I suspect When dollars allow. I think They are trying to feed? Four Families.?

[@charlietanner6211]

i think that is best oats ive seen where in ks are you

[@padraigsisk4057]

Why don't ye have concrete silage clamps.

[@paulprigge1209]

I see you push Silage but do you pack it or not?l

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Yes he was packing in the video at one point!

[@paulprigge1209]

@@petersonfamilyfarm1778 I guess We pack differently along with other people now as well. Most people have dualsOn and are constantly packing. Sorry. I know you were limited on manpower as well. Thank you for responding. Hang in there guys

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

@@paulprigge1209 Yes we were limited on manpower but we were packing between every load, just didn't have the duals on. In the fall we always have the duals on and have a little better set up.

[@michaelbauer9223]

Man those oats look great! How’s the wheat?

[@JC-uq5gi]

Probably just as good, with the rain falling west of the Mississippi. The western part of the country is drowning, as usual. These guys have no idea how easy it is.

[@rickmatz4456]

If that were my silage. I would keep the packing tractor going non stop and get the silage covered immediately. Be careful with green silage. Gras Green silage makes green b grade beef.

[@paulprigge1209]

I wondered about parking. I saw them pushing but wasn’t sure about the packing part.

It would be pretty cool a girl driving the 5830.

[@jacoblenting3742]

Awesome looking oat stand! Hello from Ontario..Canada..! How does the nutritional value compare to hay or corn silage?

[@LyfovRyan51]

Healthy looking crop. Do you get much build up of materials under the truck when the Horton fan cuts in?

Can’t you pull up concrete bunker silos.

Should never stratle a windrow like that with a truck great way to take seals out of rerends. Love the videos and drone work

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

How so? That truck is so heavy it just squashes whatever is underneath flat.

[@viscache1]

As a sheep guy I just get to look forward to hay BUYING season... shoving tons of hay down their gut all Winter long. I wonder if they ate $20.00 bills if it would be cheaper? The right kind of digestion would be if they just pooped gold out to pay for their food bill! (But we have this contract that balances things...I sell their children for food!)

[@raptor660jarhead]

As a shepard you have the best prices out there compared to beef and swine. And you might want to look into silage and brewers grain to help cut your hay bill down.

do I sense 'green envy'? Perhaps it's time to retire your chopper and invest in a bigger machine?

Hate to say this but thats not swathing that a discbine mower swathers look a lot different but kinda the same just haybine and discbine do something a little different, Discbines and haybines hav crimpers swathers header dont unless theyre for cut hay but you guys probley know more bout agriculture than I do used to live on a farm until I got cancer and and had to downsize our farm cause we need the $$$$$ but I like a lot of your guys songs and videos
