I just hope folks really know how many of those brave souls are still paying the price.

I'm a retired firefighter, 20 years of service, I was not at that TERRIBLE SCENE in New York. But THANK YOU FOR A SHOUT OUT to those Brave men and women!! AMERICA SEEMS to have forgotten, sad but TRUE! I did not know any of those men or women, but in firefighting we are ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! THANK YOU, God bless. Gotta go finish winter rye. And you brought a tear to my eye!.

911 was a very bad day i never forget,unbelievable what happened that day, thanks for bringin it up, kind regards from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@oddJOB7036]

Thanks for remembering 911.

[@ralphriddle8864]

Very nice job and God bless y'all

[@jamesbristow5740]

Whatever camera you were using at the beginning is a great picture, the leaves in the back, brown and green and the faded red of the 1256 look so good. I had a service call today for an ice machine on a pick your own pumpkin farm getting ready to open and they had a JD 4020 for hay rides. I walked over to it after the job and the smell of that old diesel and hydraulic oil... good stuff. Took me right back to grandpa's farm, nice to see there are some full cobbs in that field!

[@rickdeboer1313]

Growing up on our dairy farm my dad would only let me rake hay. As I got into high school he finally let me use the 856 diesel to chop corn! Our diesel had a radio mounted on the fender. Chopping was my favorite job, made me feel like a man! This was back in the 70's. We used a New Holand single row chopper much like yours. Double head sure saves time! Thanks for the memories! Always look forward to your videos.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Thank you Alan for the great words regarding 9/11, not too many people reflect on that these days...as matter of fact you're the only ytuber that brought it up, SAD!

[@oshenandoah2202]

Thanks for remembering 9/11! A recent report I read said almost as many first responders and demolition crew members have died from exposure to toxic substances as died in the original attacks that day - 9/11/2001. Love your videos.

[@derekjensen5918]

Thank you for your kind words about 9-11 it was a day of days!!! Also as always a great video and god bless you and your family

[@oddJOB7036]

Back in the 1960s my dad would put Xtra silage in poor man's silo. You would put snow fence in a circle and line it with tar paper. Stack them 2 or three high while filling. That was before ag bags. Or if you were lucky, a neighbor would have a spare silo.

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Great video

[@ronzezulka6646]

Hey Allen,,,,bless the fallen. Ty for honoring this day. That said,,even the short corn has nice ears. Little hard on the tonnage, but good RFV. Looks like chopping is going well.

[@mikebrown1188]

Well said Alan. Keep chopping away. Cows will appreciate your work thos winter.

[@terrydarow8401]

Great video at least you have corn for feed I'm sure your cows. Will do well love u guys❤

[@jameslee5455]

Thankful to see corn being chopped with the drought conditions we've had all summer. Keep up the good work!!!!!

[@drewbooher5809]

I'm retiring in Jan , going to get out and do some traveling next year and visiting farms of all my friends and helping out a few days at every stop , hopefully I can make to MN and get put to work....love the videos y'all....Andrew

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊

[@dlzastera]

Growing up we had a custom guy fill silo for us with a 756 and a 555 chopper same gehl blower you have to.

[@ronniewayne5748]

Awesome video as always

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I was milking that morning and heard the news on the parlor radio. When I went to check on my mother, she didn't know anything was going on. It was a surreal day, followed by a strange time of no aircraft above. God Bless all who lost loved ones, and Thank you for making note of the day. Doing more than the current occupant.👍

[@ADSC2006]

Excellent video and mention of 9-11.

[@jerryjohnson8268]

love those red tractors

[@DonWelter]

911 was a tough day. Thanks for your comments, Alan!!! Anyone old enough to remember had a permanent scar on their lives. My prayers go out to victims and survivors of this terrible tragedy. Still sends a chill through my body thinking that the plane that crashed in Shanksville, Pa was possibly near our airspace in Ohio. Good to see you moving forward on bagging chopped corn.

[@jedgerrard1386]

Getting close to deer season 🎉

[@808TheDuck]

Corn chop looks pretty good despite the lack of rain.

Great video as always !!! Enjoy the content greatly .

[@skipruckert4605]

Alan great to see you chopping corn, it's a shame you didn't get the water that you needed for a successful season but like you say that's farming. And we have actually seen three videos within 12 days. That was fantastic. Be careful out there, Skip, Western PA

[@ThomasDrehfal]

Great series on chopping corn!

I remember September 11 2001 very well it was my nephew 1st birthday and I remember watching the footage of the Towers falling down, when was the last time you have used your New Idea corn picker? 🚜🇺🇸🌽🌽🐄

I used the Uni last year

Thanks for remembering the victims and heroes of 9-11. I recall driving into work and hearing the unbelieveable reports on the radio.

[@burrridgefarms]

Doggone it my comment ended up on the wrong video. Nice job guys 👍

[@canvids1]

Bless you folks at least you are getting cattle feed! not the best but I would say having it stored in the bagging system should make it better feed for the cows.

[@Travis_Rivers]

Your corn turning out alright guys

[@KiwiJim13]

[@trinitydairy]

Silos

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

You are so right about all of the people we should thank. For some reason, 9/22 hit me harder this year and I was not at the place, but remember seeing it on TV. Enjoyed watching the corn get chopped. Hope things went smooth as possible. Do you measure your children's heights? Jessica looks as if she has gotten taller this summer. Don't know if she is happy or sad about being tall, but I think it is a great thing because I never made it past 5' 4" and believe me taller people have an advantage.

[@trinitydairy]

I can't remember where she's at for height. She has a cousin who's over 6 feet, and Jessica said she wants to be as tall as her.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

[@jimmykellam7072]

When do you have time to get it all done

[@ziauddin7948]

nice corn harvesting & chopping ❤️ # but around 30% of UR corn leaves have dried # 🇵🇰

[@eddiebaughman2809]

Why do you drive with your bucket tipped over. I hope you will never have a hydraulic failure and drive over it. We had a neighbor who did that. The steering kept him from going completely out the cab. He was hurt bad. It almost scalped him. Please be careful

[@trinitydairy]

The hydraulics bleed off, and the bucket drops.

[@robertenglebrecht668]

Did someone skip school so she could ride with grandpa chopping?😂

[@trinitydairy]

We homeschool ,so that gives them more ride time.

[@vernondodson5067]

What happened to the 560 you pulled wagon with

[@trinitydairy]

It's still around, it needs some TLC, so my brother is hoping to get it in the shop this winter.

[@JoeAmmerlaan]

Random question Why do you use the 1256 on the harvester instead of the 1066

[@trinitydairy]

The cab on the 1066 has poor visibility out the back.

[@AldenHayFarmer]

Do the wheels stay pointed straight on the 1466 when its on bagger? Running a 986 on a bagger and it wanders to the left pretty bad.

[@trinitydairy]

This one stays pretty straight. I do have a twine on the ground marking a line so I can correct it if it starts to go one way or the other.

[@frankdeegan8974]

With the tonnage being down, do you have enough silage to get by this year? Do you have more corn to chop? What about ear corn?

[@trinitydairy]

I think we'll be sitting good on corn silage, I planted extra this year for er corn, but I don't think it will make it, so we'll silage that too.

[@Stephenklausmeyer-hr9rb]

Do you know which part of the corn plant gives the most benefit to the cattle to produce milk?

[@trinitydairy]

I would say that the starch in the kernels, would have the most value.

[@davidklein5850]

I may have missed the video but do you also combine dry corn for cattle feed.

[@trinitydairy]

We usually try for dry ear corn, but I don't think we'll have any this year.

[@markpigman209]

How far does the bagger move for each load

[@trinitydairy]

It really depends on the load. A few feet

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

How many days of chopping yet?

[@trinitydairy]

We'll have a few days left

[@stevenhancock7462]

How come you don't chop with 1066

[@trinitydairy]

Honestly, because the visibility out the back of the cab is horrible.

[@hankelrod7315]

@@trinitydairy. My 26 & 56 series tractors seem more agile than my 66’s - probably just bc the hood seems so much wider on the 66’s - and we still do all the sweet corn chopping 50 acres with the 1026

How many hours is on that 1256
