Corn Silage Harvest 2023: Rain Delay (105)

Corn Silage Harvest - We're continuing on with our silage harvest in this video. We received 2" of rain which has delayed harvest for a few days while we wait for the fields to dry out.

19 was hell. We had heavy rain every third day it seemed like all of august and September. It was October before we started wheat harvest. We skipped 3rd cutting all together and finished beans 20 mins before getting snow. Ended up combining all our corn in the snow. Id be ok with never going threw that again.

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

I'm with you on that, one of those falls is enough for a lifetime!

[@karlherzog3979]

@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 yeah that’s for sure

Looks like some nice corn! How wide and high is that pile?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

We're 180 feet wide and about 20 feet high.

[@christianjoly4351]

Good morning, will you put a plastic sheet over the round bale stack? Sincerely.

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

No, we'll use these up over winter and use the bales stored inside after that.

I assume the truck drivers and combine operators can communicate with each other? Wanna be 70 year old here, new subscriber….

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Yes, they have radios in the equipment to communicate with each other.

[@jerseyscows8553]

Salut, quelle rendement en maïs et à combien de matière sèche vous le récoltez ?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Yield has been around 18 to 20 ton per acre, we're shooting for 30 to 35% dry matter.

[@shirleysousa1133]

It must take a lot of people to put all those tires on.

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

The more people we have to help the better!
