Corn Chopping 2023/Days 11,12,13/Onto The Last Field

The drought we have been dealing with is taking its toll on our corn this year, causing us to have to start chopping our corn earlier than we'd like. After a repair to the 1066 and the return of the bagger it's time to get chopping again. The International 1256 on the New Holland 790 Corn Chopper gets right to work. You can really see the difference in the corn throughout the field. Back at the farm, the International 1066 is running our bagger while the 830 Case is hauling chopper boxes back and forth. We finally are on to our last field.

That is a good amount of rain. We've also been getting rain here. Nice and green here again.

[@vincenthunt3376]

Very nice looking corn for that far north.

[@michaeletchepareborde4298]

That is very cool it's a lot different from here I love it y'all have a blessed day

[@toddvandyke1023]

Thank you for another great video. The scene by the tranquil river is a great place to gather your thoughts after a long day in the field. Be safe and God bless

[@Andy-ix2ox]

So I am not the only one who gets distracted by the scenery! Sometimes I find it hard not to wander down by our river and contemplate the beauty of nature in fact the older I get the more often I find myself wandering through our land just looking at the flora and fauna most farmers haven’t time to stop and look at.

[@timstevens2866]

I love the hitch pinner! Wish mine worked that well lol

[@johnandsuepowell8757]

I didn’t get any bear damage this year. Northern Minnesota talk.

[@frankdeegan8974]

The Lord blessing you with the rain made a huge difference in the appearance of the standing corn and the look of the silage.

[@DickAnderson-k9y]

Hopefully you can turn some cattle into the corn field and clean up the stalks that got knocked down. I sure enjoy seeing the next generation out helping with harvest. May your family be blessed with a bountiful harvest ❤

[@DonWelter]

Never ending weather variety this year. Glad you folks are nearing the end of silage corn harvest. Nice view of the river. Autumn has its own special beauty that farmers can enjoy during their daily labors. May the Lord keep you and your family safe during this harvest season!!!

[@br927]

I could listen to that river for the rest of the night!

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thanks for sharing. The scenery of along the river is always beautiful. Your so lucky to have. Could walk and listen to the sounds and to feel the fall time.. its nice to get see you too Miss Jenn. Hope your feeling a bunch better. The quality of your silage looks pretty good. Even without a progresser. Heck of chopper you have there..

[@MichaelDoering-js2gl]

Hi Trinity dairy, love silo filling time. We were fortunate to have ample silo capacity, so we didn’t have to use bags. The bags make good feed but I never liked all the plastic garbage left over. Towards the end of the video, it looks like your planter was goofing up, corn looks like it was not uniformly planted. Great video, take 🇨🇦🚜👍♥️

[@trinitydairy]

I think the planter is OK, but we had a lot of germination issues this year, with it being so dry.

[@mennoreuten1563]

Case was far ahead in its time whit transmissions, nowerdays we all have cvt ,ivt ,vario and so on,good you finished harvest before the snow falls, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@grantpowers]

Hi guys,, picked 30 acres this season,, put it all in my cribs, I’ll grind up a full load on Saturday morning for the food market in town,, and sell it there by the trash can full,, for the folks hobby farms

[@trinitydairy]

Cool

[@ralphriddle8864]

Great job and God bless y'all

[@TomBean-qf6zv]

Appreciate the video, big red sounding sweet. Wouldn't take long for a fella to drift off to sleep by that water. Y'all have a good day now.

[@trinitydairy]

We always said we should put a video out of just the river.

[@johnhenderson299]

Glad you're having a great harvest

[@virginiagraber9070]

Corn chopped 2023, 11,12,13 Thank you, Me,2019 colon, stroke, Brain injury ,feet,arm,hand. 2020 cancer, 95% died. GOD is good. (N.G Indiana

[@adamkonopko3580]

👍

[@bonniehibma3580]

Very nice feed. Amazing from under the head.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello it allways bug me if i missed corn. I would stop and put through harvester lol. Nice work you have a great day.

[@chrisburke848]

Great finish on this one. Beautifully done.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Thank you so much for the video. I needed it today. I'll bet that silage smells lovely. Also watching and listening to the river flow was so nice. My sister went to a local cider mill this week and brought us cider and doughnuts. They were delicious. I guess the Mid-Michigan area had a very good crop of apples, although I thought it had been very dry. I am glad you finally received rain. Hope you continue to get it in maybe smaller quantities more often and not all at once. We are getting the same thing. I enjoy looking on NOAA to see the weather for different regional KZbin channels. There appears to be a lot of colder air coming in, in your area, and North and South Dakota have frost and freeze warnings for tonight (10/6). Hope things really work out well for this winter. It will be interesting to see what happens. I wonder if you could do one thing for us, In the area under the video would it be possible to type in the approximate date you filmed this. It is interesting to compare your weather with ours. If it is a hassle, don't do it. It is just a suggestion. One of the people I watch does this, but of course she tends to film things far earlier than the date she puts it up, so maybe that is the reason. Anyway, long story short. Thanks for the video. Hope your family keeps well and have a good fall. Take Care.

[@markschwab7829]

Thank you for sharing this video silage chopping was always my favorite thing about farming!

[@AldenHayFarmer]

Case's biggest flaw with the Case-O-Matic was getting the operators to run it the way it was designed, steering clear of the "don't do's" you listed off.

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi Guys,awesome job,Ed from Vermont

[@22gonefishing]

Getting brave getting that view under the chopper, that was cool. Nice to see the Kettle River? flowing good, was it pretty much dried up earlier in the year with no rain? Thanks for the video and God Bless.

[@trinitydairy]

Yes it was really bad for awhile.

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

at 4:06.................is the reason the kernels are cut open is because the corn wasn't in the hard dent stage but still soft ?

[@CMDSR]

Well you answered my question I had for y’all. Was gonna ask if the bears had caused ant damage this year. Somebody must have gotten that joker last hunting season.

[@geraldking2434]

No door no seat belt no riders know saftey

[@trinitydairy]

I certainly understand that. My boys are wedged in between the seat and cab so tightly they don't move. When they were smaller, I tied them in.

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Good video, God Bless your family also.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you ❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@timstevens2866]

I can smell the silage from here!

[@ronzezulka6646]

Hey Allen,,,thanks for the explanation on the Case-O-Matic. I'll check out the film. Pretty cool.

[@yetiofthenorth]

Thanks for the explanation of the case-o-matic. Never ran a tractor with COM transmission. We ran all Case growing up but Dad never liked it.

[@ronniewayne5748]

Awesome 🎥!!

[@kevinhelgerson982]

Reminds me of the little turkey river by my grandpas farm

[@bonniehibma3580]

You live and farm in a beautiful spot. I know it is hard work, but the cows make the most use of your corn this year. What will you use for grain now that everything is chopped?

[@trinitydairy]

We will continue to purchase our grain.

[@markflick1641]

Beautiful scenery . Does your family fish the river? Thank you .

[@trinitydairy]

Once in awhile.

[@PaulTighe-e2n]

Great video enjoyed it 👍

[@ronzezulka6646]

Great content. Keep it up!

[@brandonhoad9033]

Friend of mine that puts up a lot of giant grubs puts cardboard between cable and bag where they touch. Hence the hydraulic surge when u depress clutch

[@JReis-yc6de]

enjoyed your explanation on the Case and like to see the IH pull that chopper and wagon on some pretty sidling fields. I got to briefly run my uncles 56 series, but we had wide duals and mfd front wheel drive on our steep hills. Your explanation on harvesting with moisture interests me as I've never been around large areas of corn or silage.

[@jaykettlewell3922]

Really enjoy your videos. Do you still have the little 530 Case? Have not seen it for a while

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah it's still around, been using it to feed hay, but the clutch is weak, so I don't use it for much else,right now.

[@ADSC2006]

Call for lots of rain here tomorrow in my part of Ontario.

[@jamesbristow5740]

Looks like the river comes up quite a few feet at flood

[@paulmartin8784]

Lighter soil that gets plenty of manure can produce great yields

[@derrickzenner9300]

Periscope films is a great channel

[@Elijah-me5yg]

How many acres of corn did you chop,those fields look big.I know you mentioned this before,but why is the tin roof slid back on the chopper boxes(I forgot).I bet you will be relieved when your done chopping.😊

[@trinitydairy]

We're chopping about 50 acres total this year, the camera makes the fields look bigger than they are. The tin was moved back, for the grinder attachment on our old picker. Definitely a big relief when it's done.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Have you ever tried dry hay or straw when the bagger is "puking"? It has worked for me before. 👍

[@trinitydairy]

I was thinking about that, but haven't tried it.

[@mrt4547]

You need to shop around for bags. I paid only $423 for a 9x200

[@trinitydairy]

Nice! There's not a lot of places within reasonable distance for me to purchase bags. This place was the cheapest within 50 miles.

[@KiwiJim13]

Great video A&J the river and autumn colours look nice the cab on the 1256 is it a sound proof cab or just a safety cab?

[@trinitydairy]

Just for safety and to block out the weather.

[@rogerknapp3703]

Hi, love watching and learning from your videos, new to chopping this year and wondering why you stop at the end and start at each row . Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong by just letting my 770 keep running till next row. Thanks and God Bless.

[@trinitydairy]

It's just a habit that we've gotten into, I don't think it matters if you leave it running.

[@woodsgremlin9995]

When I have a long drive on the end rows I shift to a higher gear.

[@glennschlorf1285]

Mooooo chow.... not alot of corn in it though

[@micahgrubb6867]

Im surprised that exaust maifold leak pop hasnt annoyed you yet. I had that on my 4520 and it drove me nuts the first week wasnt a bad repair. Just new manifold studs.

[@trinitydairy]

None of these tractors have an exhaust manifold leak. The 1256 has a gear noise in the transmission.

[@Stephenklausmeyer-hr9rb]

I know you mentioned that you're not picking this year but, if you were how many acres would you need for the year?

[@trinitydairy]

The last field I am on I had intended on using for picking corn, but the weather didn't cooperate. That field is about 10 acres.

[@stevenhancock7462]

You chopping and hauling by your self

[@trinitydairy]

No,my dad usually chopps.

[@markpigman209]

Do you do any cash crops

[@trinitydairy]

No

[@robertenglebrecht668]

River or Creek?

[@trinitydairy]

Kettle River

[@campingfishingloveeveryday3229]

Is there any fish in the creek buddy

[@trinitydairy]

The river has some nice walleye

[@campingfishingloveeveryday3229]

Good eating them buddy

[@stevenhancock7462]

Did I miss days 12. 13

[@trinitydairy]

This video was taken over 11, 12, and 13

[@pocketchange1951]

[@charlietanner6211]

[@trinitydairy]

No they can't be pull started.

[@frankfillioe6173]

[@trinitydairy]

I'm not sure. I know there's some nice walleye.
