Corn Silage Harvest 2020 | Filling 1st Bunker Silo - Complete Process

[@hupka3145]

As someone who has never spent any time on a farm, I really appreciate the time you put into making this and explaining some of the reasons why certain things were done. This was incredibly interesting. Nicely done.

[@ravingquail4503]

Eric, you do a fabulous job on voice-overs for the drone footage. Your usual explanations are so good that it's no surprise, but helping us understand what we're looking at makes it a lot of fun. The technical information you give us is presented so that it's really understandable. I gotta say it's sometimes a bit creepy how I'll think "why do they do that?" and you'll answer it fifteen seconds later. It's good to see that your Dad isn't cheating on his rotator cuff repairs - that's make for a more complete healing. Thanks again for bringing us into your lives.

[@douglasharmer690]

It is a blessing to see Dad walking around and helping where/when he can. God, bless all farmers!

[@johanhernandez5308]

Thanks and god bless you too, my grandpas’ body is messed up from farming his whole life

I'M NOT A FARMER, BUT YOUR DAD SHOULD BE SO PROUD TO HAVE YOU AS A SON AND RUN THIS FARM. EXCELLENT JOB

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

We've been fortunate to just get fleeting glimpses of your two sisters. Last season's harvest and filling the bunk and in the silo, when your dad handed them both some rakes and said, "These are self explanatory" and they replied with smiles "Gee, Thanks Dad". Your sisters always seem so happy and cheerful to be helping out on the farm. Everybody wants to help, especially your recovering dad. The voice-over @ 8:48 was something different and informative.

[@job322]

Eric love the feeling of getting to know you more as a person. The way your personality is starting to come through this year has been the best part of watching the farm progress. Thank you for the honest hard work you and your family/friends do.

[@Its_Me0000]

Eric i am amazed at the process for making silage as well as finishing the bunk. Also it is incredible to me how your harvesters can aim the shoot in order to get the silage into the trailers even when they are behind them or turning a corner. Thank you so much for show and explaining this. Glad to see your dad up and around and working with you in the tractor. Keep drinking your chocolate milk and Dew. I bought some Clover Farms chocolate milk recently. God Bless you and your entire family.

Its so nice to see you’re sisters working together with you. There’s nothing more pleasant to watch then family working together as one. Kudos to both of you’re sisters Eric, and regards to dad.

[@jocasey8621]

, I am a city girl moved into a more rural area and have to say watching these videos are amazing. I never realized how much work went into the dairy business. I am learning so much and am blown away. Thanks for making these.

[@judyrosy]

Loved it.....thank you. Great choice of music while drone footage played. Your daughter is ADORABLE!

[@DoubleD.]

The view of the farm, countryside, and town is just awesome. Really enjoy the talking over onto the shots was well done, we did enjoy that portion. The music over the drone shots is very good too. You had "dad with you to supply a little bit more weight" was funny, so glad to see him with his boy. I miss my dad but so glad to see others enjoying their time together. Boy did you have me squirming in my chair when you got soooooo close to the edge while packing it down. 5,000 lb. weight? Holy mackerel that's a whole lot of dads compressing it down. 85 loads is a whole bunch of silage. Cute baby pictures!!!

[@markybear92840]

Hazzah! The brother Ethan finally appears! Great to see family working together!

[@pauljohnson1936]

Awesome video Eric! Great editing. Good to see wholesome family working together, including your beautiful baby daughter, and to see your Dad improving and able to play a part. God is good! Thanks for the lighthearted moments.

[@ZukoMindset]

I remember I started watching you when y'all were doing last year's harvest. You've come up real well, love watching your vids and learning more about farming. Thanks man.

[@gruntqueen]

Thank you for taking our non-farmer curiosity seriously and providing clear explanations. I really appreciate it.

[@bobdevine4906]

Great job Eric! I grew up on a small dairy farm in Iowa in the 50’s. Still can smell fresh cut silage.

[@remenents100]

I literally know nothing about farming, other than what I have learned from Farming Simulator 19 over the past 2 years lol. Im a medically retired combat veteran, so all I know if military skills. Watching this was awesome to see this done in real life. All you farmers are simply amazing. Hard working men and women keeping America fed and moving. Thank you or everything. I will be watching much more of this. Subscribed.

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

Love all the drone footage and info! And, yeah, this is also a favorite of mine - watching all the people who come to help working together. PS: Your littlest helper is adorable - and has grown since last time we saw her!

[@carriebrumley8926]

Always enjoyed watching the bunkers being made and seeing your dad out as well. Your daughter is so cute

This year we did 4 ag bags 10 ft by 250 I really miss pushing corn silage with a blade one of my favorite jobs. Hope you have a great day thanks for sharing your Harvest with us.

[@georgegoertzen4723]

Love your sense of humour, Eric. You provide a lot of laughs, good entertainment and educational videos to watch during these difficult times. Farmers are not appreciated enough by the average consumer. Thanks.

[@debbiemast9973]

Eric, your daughter is gorgeous. You and your wife must adore her.

[@jettron1]

Great video. Glad to see Eric getting back to adding his signature humor with the sodas and such in the videos (like he dad riding along to add some extra weight for packing). I've been looking forward to this video since I saw the picture Eric posted about what he did on Labor Day.

[@icebabysnocain]

All that in one day. Getting the harvesting guys in is pretty well the most efficient way to do it. I can't imagine you going back to anything else. It is nice to get everybody involved the way you do. All can have some sense of accomplishment on the farm work and it gets er done. Great video. Peace.

[@jesusisGod1434]

Thank you for the video! I loved seeing Evelyn! Hi Emily!!! God bless you all!

[@terrystephens1102]

Best wishes to your dad for a speedy recovery with his shoulder - he is a great dad. Love the drone shots of the harvesting and your commentary is excellent, Eric. I enjoy your sense of humour too. Fantastic to see your beautiful daughter. 😃👍👍👍👍

[@LGVX9900ENV]

I have never seen how this is done in real life. I played a game called Farming simulator 19 and I love to do this in the game. The game has maybe 10 percent of what you do in real life. In the part of the country I live in I have never seen this. We have cattle ranches here and mostly dry land farming. I have help brand a round cattle up on a small scale. I thought I was raised country I feel like a city boy now. It looks like hard work and I wish that I would have had a chance to do this. My health don't allow me to do anything now. You all are a great asset to the country. Thank you for all you do.

[@donaldgibson3121]

You guys give new meaning to Labor Day! Your family has a beautiful farm that is well managed. We always enjoy your videos.

Great to see dad back in the action, hope you are doing well sir, please please make sure that arm is completely healed and the doc says it’s ok before doing any work with that arm and shoulder, last thing you want to do is have to go through that again that’s for sure. Glad to see the whole family working together, and yes the sisters are very beautiful young lady’s! Lord please bless this wonderful family! Love from Michigan

[@jasoneaster333]

I miss my old dairy farm,man this brings back memories,y'all's operation is a lot different from our old operation,we used a old John Deere 5 row pull behind chopper and the wagon pulled behind that,so we started off with a old Allis Chambers 7040 tractor with a cab then we thought we was big time when we got our John Deere 4440 once the wagons was full we had to pull them sometimes a couple miles to the pit or silo and our blower was PTO driven,we milked our cows in a stantion barn 30 cows in the barn but could only milk 6 cows at a time,I still remember all the stainless pipeline,the big milk tank,and y'all who have never tried milk straight out of the cow don't know what real milk taste like,it's sweeter and creamy mmmmm,but thank you to all the farmers still in business,I truly appreciate you all because I know what hard work is

[@neillouise7533]

The baby is getting big. Looking healthy, happy. Your doing a great job.

[@xiastarlight9751]

My Dad grew up on a farm in Nebraska and when we were young we would visit family there (he moved to NV when he grew up) and we enjoyed the aspects of the farm that we understood as kids. In this age, I love seeing how you explain farming, the specifics, and why things are done here on youtube. It's a great way to inform the public, most of whom would never likely have seen an operating farm in their lives. Farming is HARD work and I'm grateful for all you guys do to keep fresh food & dairy in our lives. You all be safe and thanks for the great videos.

[@timmc.9478]

Wow thanks for showing this video, since I live in the suburbs of Fort Wayne, Indiana and always live in the suburbs where. Since I never lived on or near a farm, I never knew what and how that Bunker Silo was for, that goes for a lot of your videos. People like myself that live in suburbs or cities don't know what it's like living and working on a farm. thanks to your KZbin video's it helps a lot. The closest I get to farming is I have a raised bed - square foot garden that's 4' x 8'.

My favorite part is Eric's smart comment to his sisters after taking a break and drinking some chocolate milk "after our hard work".

She only saw her first car 2 years ago and just made it to the USA for a short stint before we both move back permanently. She cant believe what she is seeing. She is most amazed with the corn fields as she planted corn in the mountain, but always though that each corn plant had to be at least 5 feet apart from each other, so corn was planted amongst the rice. (Mountain rice is grown very differently from lowland wet rice.) She says it looks scary. LOL Thanks for posting!
