Cutting Stalks By The Moonlight!

[@cleaterose5914]

I look forward to Ryan's drone videos every Fall.

[@lstan444]

While at my computer I watch along of farm videos and your videography is still the best thx

[@justincase2830]

Great video! Beautiful view of the sliver moon too!

[@digger5858]

Drone footage is excellent love the moon and tractor 🚜

[@nealparnell5403]

Awesome views. Beautiful country yall live in. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work!!!

[@nathanvanfossen1391]

I love your videos and miss them being longer timed but still love watching your videos

[@brentkelsay3439]

You are literally cutting stalks! Back in the day after harvest we would disc the stalks and called that cutting stalks. Then in the spring use a moldboard plow followed by one or two passes with the disc again dragging a pegtooth harrow behind it, then plant. And we called harvesting or combining corn shelling corn, I guess as opposed to the old-fashioned corn picker. Think my uncle picked it with a two row picker, when he got a combine with a 4 row corn head that was a big deal! Awesome videos Ryan 👏

[@earlyriser8998]

nice moon shot over the tractor

[@davidhaskins9457]

Another awesome video Ryan love the moon and mowing with the drone camera

[@jddriver9565]

4:28, Travis recording The Rest Of The Story while Ryan is recording How Farms Work, cool.:D

[@VnazT]

I want that moon shot for my computer wallpaper! 🤌🤌🤌

[@charleslynch7274]

Loved the moon and your drone shots keep up the great work hope u get plenty of those bales made for the cows 🐄

[@blueovaldawgs]

First video I ever found from you guys was when you were at Hannah's family place and you were baling corn stalks with that red thing and Krone baler. Been hooked ever since!

[@acedecade8337]

Cutting stalks is the perfect job - mindless work but such a sense of satisfaction when done

[@SimonKL11]

It's always very cool to watch the 76 with the rhino 4155😃👍 I still remember when you got it new, and now it is 7 years old already, you kept it in good shape for sure😉👍

[@akjaydub6620]

Great content Ryan, love that crescent moon shot. Your choices for music are always so good.

[@Token_Civilian]

Great "golden hour" shots. Looking forward to more harvest vids.

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! Those were some great drone shots.

[@King_Randy]

Love the videos, keep em coming and stay safe this harvest 👍

[@TEDOTENNIS]

Great episode, and just in time for lunch... :)

[@Rcod2013]

Hi from oz Ryan. Don’t wrap high moisture corn stubble. Let it dry first. A suggestion. You could ammoniate it before wrapping. That is pouring a certain amount of urea water mix over each bale before wrapping (I’ve forgotten the ratios to use, been many years since I’ve done it). lol up the formula on internet. This starts breaking down the cellulose but does take 6 weeks to brew. Also it doesn’t need to be air tight seal like silage. So you could wrap it with half the normal amount of reap making it a bit cheaper.

[@wingrider687]

Awesome nighttime footage Ryan!

[@HowFarmsWork]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@busterbailey370]

Great video Ryan keep them coming please

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video ryan thumbs up and shared

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Ryan, thanks for sharing your logic and efforts mowing the corn stalks

[@topworkengine5487]

❣this is a very interesting video. I watch all the videos ❣❤❤

[@brittblanton8342]

Great video and awesome drone footage Ryan, you guys have some beautiful farm land 👍

[@Michael-fd8ob]

Great video

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

It doesn't get any more beautiful than that. You sure do some amazing videos. Thank you for sharing them.

[@Aaron_S]

Farmers are cool! 😎

[@patkelly7999]

Mighty stuff Ryan and Travis, corn silage is a great idea, would make for some nice fodder💯👌👍🙏🙂

[@cthomas1864]

What dose Hannah do dose she work any whare or what dose she do off the farm?

[@frankysmith4624]

🚜🚜🧑‍🌾 Hey Ryan, greetings from Tennessee, hope everything is going well, always look forward for your and Travis videos, I really like the when Hannah and Travis get to acting up glad they get along in todays time most families don't get along, keep up the great work. GOD bless you and your whole family. 🚜🚜🧑‍🌾🦝

[@susanklockow1474]

love the moon lite videos

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

If you want to salvage the most RFV from stalks, you have to be almost on the tail of the combine with the bush hog or shredder, and close behind with the rake and baler. Processor baler is ideal, and then wrapping. It only takes 3 extra people to do it right! 😂 The cattle will enjoy the bedding....😮😅👍

[@kody4093]

Awesome video as always unless I missed did u guys buy the kuhn bailer,mower and wrapper

[@HowFarmsWork]

Not yet!

[@larrysheriff8251]

Hey Ryan, Great moon set shot. Betty my wife was talking about that moon the other night. I hope and pray all the Farms get the fodder they need. Take care, Take it easy and trust JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danielrandolph9170]

Always awesome drone footage good video yal stay safe . What ever happen to that solar farm near you ? Did it happen or what ? Daniel from central Mississippi

[@HowFarmsWork]

That’s what’s going on in the background of the video. Should be done next year

[@danielrandolph9170]

Ok i see it whats yal thoughts on it ?

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Ryan I blew my lawn mower off if there is build up of grass on it and clean the deck out for the same reason I have a hand held gas blower and a troy bilt 1 option I do not have Is mowing in the dark I don't have lights for my Push mower.

[@clinthochrein888]

You happen to catch the star link satellites in a row recently? I did for the first time this past Sunday night.

[@panhandleoff-roadranch2212]

Mowing fodder. Good memories

[@susanklockow1474]

thanks for sharing..love the video.😊

[@alexanderkutschke2986]

Great video Have you ever destroyed a window with the Bat Wing? I didn't drive 200 meters at work and the first window was broken...

[@Azdude801]

3:57 What's up with all them white vans?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Those are the solar workers being transported around

[@cthomas1864]

What model is the corn head?

[@HowFarmsWork]

612C!

[@Silvermoonhomestead]

As for making corn silage, you cut it just when it starts to tassel. right? I saw one guy cut it after the ears developed but before the plant dried out. That way he had the green of the plant but also some corn mixed into it.

[@HowFarmsWork]

I'm not sure when it's optimal, I've seen some guys wait until the green just about disappears from the plant before cutting and others do it at tassel.

[@Silvermoonhomestead]

@@HowFarmsWork It might also have to do just when they have the time to cut it.

[@gregjames5070]

Optimal time to make silage is when the corn is starting the dent stage.

[@semihozgol8933]

Bu güzel video için teşekkürler. 1 dönüm tarladan ne kadar mısır hasat ediyorsunuz.

[@mattthomas3207]

I have an older woods batwing but i get comments on how nice the deck and condition is eveeytime I'm done mowing I leafblow the deck perfectly clean the worst is grass that gets rained on still on the deck he's right they rought quickly

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@Estrelo1997]

Hey Ryan do you "winterize" your equipments?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Only the things that need it, like the sprayers. The skid loaders get chains

[@tbix1963]

The most important part of cleaning the mower deck off before leaving the field is to prevent lowering the total bail count. There was probably half a bail on top. 😂

[@waterskiingfool]

Was nice drone footage. Can you keep it down though in the mower, you made it hard to hear Travis in his video. Lol

[@jamesberry4438]

You should take the leaf blower every time you go brush hoging

[@Rock0531]

How much do wind mill farms pay per acre?

[@jamesforman6587]

I wish you had told me to clean the deck of my lawn mower I never cleaned it and it rotted it out

[@Blackwellll3066]

Really cool video to bad ya have to wait it dry cuz a crop shredder with side or center discharge would eliminate having to rake and ya could bale right away

[@robwoods5537]

Did u give cole bathroom gum while u guys were in Canada lol

[@HowFarmsWork]

No it was porta potty gum to be exact!

[@joerahn1121]

Let the stalks lay for next year organics

[@jamesjarratt7907]

At the beginning I thought the discussion was about leaving fodder on the ground rather than baling it. I should listen more closely.

[@santa4735]

Not sure if your looking for extra work and income? If so you can charge the solar farm per acre to keep the grass mowed under the panels from your new 1,000 head Sheep Flock. Income: 1. Maintain the Solar acreage 2. Sell the Lambs 3. New You Tube Channel Go Pack Go! From Santa Cruz, CA

[@ninjanana1272]

👍👍❤

[@rtz549]

At the solar meetings; what was their logic or reasoning for wanting to install panels at that specific location?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Basically it's close to a transmission line. I think they're targeting this area because we're as far south in the state as you can go, and population density is lower on this side of the state and steadily increases the more East you go. Funny you don't see these projects going in within 50 miles of a major city, because they don't want to look at them.

[@rdekort9273]

I would not try to do that,waste of time and money,if you do not wrap wet corn bales completly airthight the only thing what you are going to get is a bale of mold and sand,verry toxic combination for cattle,either make proper corn silage or dont do it at all.

[@robertwarner1633]

I agree.

[@jolietjohn8024]

The presence of the solar field I find disturbing. Another example of the American agricultural land, some of the most productive in the nation, disappearing forever for purposes of very questionable longevity. I don't believe anyone who says "It's for the better." This is how the family farms contracted to what they are now, and corporate farms are on the horizon, unfortunately. It echoes the decay and disappearance of the farm I grew up on.
