Eastside Dairy Corn Silage Harvest 2020

Eastside Dairy Corn Silage Harvest 2020
Video I shot in September 2020 at Eastside Dairy Farm near Markle Indiana. In this video Zimmerman Family Harvesting is chopping corn silage for the farms dairy cow herd. In this video is a good mix of farm equipment in the field and back at the farm pushing and packing the corn silage.

I’m elderly lady of 76 and this is a refreshing change to watch these videos in place of hustle & bustle of people arguing. I just happened to find this one day & now I’m watching all the time. 👏

[@TowMater603]

As i sit here watching this , i am enjoying my bowl of Corn Flakes with milk. THANK YOU FARMERS. you're the REAL MVP here.

[@pastorlarrypotts8289]

Thank you for all the work you farmers do. You don’t get paid enough and you are the heartbeat of America! Thank you!

Dad and I used to do custom chopping out in Washington State in the mid seventies. We averaged 250,000 tons per season. Those wagons are really well built and awesome. Thanks for the great videos.

Where about in Wa?

Good work an vedio on such a beautiful farm.👍🇺🇲

This is my hometown you were across the road from my grandmas house if I knew you were there I woulda said hey

[@outsideview9052]

Watching large harvesting equipment is just as interesting for men as it is watch large construction projects going up.

[@anindividual3889]

Those wagons are monsters! I remember when I was still a kid my dad did custom chopping in the early '00s with a big at the time John Deere chopper and a whole lot of bobtail trucks. Great video!

[@AndreiTupolev]

Those enormous four-axle trailers are something else.

[@alanhiggins2928]

What a magnificent set up, great coverage, thanks Mike I could watch it all day!

[@ronaldbeuron3766]

Lol as an operator of a class 900 for many years I find it hilarious your comments. People have no idea how difficult it is and everytime someone says... "I drove a combine... I can do it" fail badly! This guy is doing just great in my opinion!

[@tapertim]

Silage videos are my favorite way better than tv or movies

[@stephenbutz2621]

WOW , GREAT DRONE FOOTAGE and camera angles , farming on that scale is massive 👏 👌

[@markreetz1001]

Good stuff Mike. The forage trailers are pretty awesome. Keep 'em coming.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Vlog, Those Claas harvesters have lifted the game in silage making, good to see a team with the correct stack weight.

[@raymondjackson2227]

Mike , Your videos are always great and the music only makes it one step better. Keep your videos coming ! THANK YOU

They never miss the wagon on Farm Simulator! The Massey and the small wagon is the red headed step child of the fleet’

Nice looking cart's they are building. Everybody misses when filling a silage box.

If it lands inside, it's called "chaff", if not, then it's "mulch" haha. All good. Nice video. Love the FastTrack's! 👍

[@markmortensen4341]

I would like to see the diesel bill after harvest! I would think that's a big mountain of a bill!! Great footage of their operation as it's a big one! They do a good job that silage pile for sure! Thanks for your time Mike👍🏻‼️‼️

[@giorgioantonioninniriva633]

Great video! Loved the shot of the 3 case compacting the silage!

OMG I love jackfruits ❤❤❤❤ Ahao was so proud sharing his sister’s food to his friends 😂😂

[@robhardingham6770]

Nice to see, or rather hear machinery without being drowned out by thumping music. Good job. Perhaps the crop duster had finished his field and just wanted to either get in your shots or watch the chopper in action!

Tuyệt vời quá bạn ơi cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video này nhé ❤️

[@pennyroofener647]

Stumbled across your channel and really enjoyed it! I love to watch the harvesting of the corn, triticale, and all of it! Keep it up!!

Another great silage video Mike. Quite an operation Zimmerman has there.

[@tomcahill6981]

What a great video. We live in South Central Pennsylvania, and I have often seen farmers harvesting their fields, or just after, but never have seen exactly how they keep the siliage in storage. What a great video. Will share it.

[@dougtervo5016]

Watching from U.P. MICH.First time .Its AMAZING From BIG PAPA. THANKS!!!

Silage videos!! My favorite! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Mike!!

[@jpopcorn1273]

Awesome video. Love the Claas chopper.

[@codyludwig2811]

great video Mike thats a really nice looking crop, Im glad theyre havest is going good compared to other videos Ive watched where they were working in really muddy fields and were forced to shut down cause it was getting to hard for the choppers and tractors to work

[@johnmilburn5715]

Wow, that 90 degree turn on the opening was impressive through what was NOT lost!!!😀 makes my 1990s efforts in the UK really embarrassing . Jeez...😳

[@chrislowes1335]

Great to see some farmers in the US embracing jcb tractors. That is one massive pile of silage , would like to know how they feed out the silage to minimise loss. As to keeping the road clean that to me is showing respect to the other people who use the road, after all it might be your tractor/semi windscreen that gets broken when a stone gets flicked off a passing tyre.

[@SimonKL11]

That are some trailers👍😉 your corn silage videos are always awesome😁👍

[@farmerjohnson8121]

Great video! That chopper is just a little bit faster than a two row pull behind chopper. Lol 😆

[@themunter4488]

Nice to see JCB fastracs working in the US.

[@GreatLakesLogger]

A few people run them in Wisconsin here, but they are poorly designed and an absolute pita to service, maintain, or repair.

[@globalnomad450]

Mesmerising!

[@keithrobinson1331]

Man that was a huge silage pile good stuff Mike👍

[@jimmystrain883]

Enjoyed the video thanks Mike

[@corgraveland4874]

Nice footage. Always a reliable Claas chopper doing the heavy job, and indeed what a huge trailers. Some of them seems to be of Claas brand as well? Nice to see the quad trailer with 3 out of 4 axles being steered and one lifted. These JCB Fastracs also looks impressive 👍🚜

[@hippielewis4768]

That is one big pile of cow food-good video

[@jaymartin2486]

I ran with a crew for a number of seasons back in Eastern pa and we were opening fields a much higher percentage of the time and we had so many trees, turns, telephone poles, and wash lines to avoid. But we had a very good operator and though I never ran a chopper I will say this: it is the equivalent of driving a pickup through multiple serpentines in your back yard with less than a foot on either side and not hitting any trees or shrubs. Plus you need to text, shave, eat, clean your glasses, change clothes, and negotiate between your wife and mother in law at the same time. That is why they miss sometimes!

[@j.e.honiball1327]

Chopped some silage the other day with a tractor mounted single row chopper, and this pretty much sums it up.

[@dioniparedes3558]

Beautifull job 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@peterbilt5104]

When I miss the wagon, I call it putting some fertilizer on the ground 😂🤣

[@corgraveland4874]

Sure does. It is very important to add some organic matter to the soil these days, it supports all sorts of soil processes and life and prepares nutrients to get ready for a next crop.👍👌🚜

[@shobuddy]

"I asked him to miss the wagon on purpose", it's good for the comment section" lol Mike is a funny guy 😁. Awesome video, thanks Mike!

[@deplorablelibertarian]

Yeah...there’s no way in hell that they miss the wagon on purpose, that’s a bull crap excuse. The other one I’ve heard is excuse that different parts of a field need extra fertilizer. Just man up and say some gets wasted..l can respect that.

[@latemodelracing1123]

@@deplorablelibertarian you ever hear of sarcasm???

[@deplorablelibertarian]

@@latemodelracing1123...yeah, I obviously missed it

[@landerson1012]

That 3 point packer almost looks like it could have used rail car wheels. Except I don't think Case would use them. The Claas is keeping those 3 tractors busy on the silage pile. Nice drone shots...especially with the crop duster.

[@jimholbay5148]

Awesome Mike , Great video 👍

[@edwardlaner390]

Nice chopper nice tractors. I always love this season, the smell and the sound of the harvest. Great job at filming,just watch out for the shotgun, lol !!!!

Hi Mike. I'm in Ireland looking at this video has made me happy. I am offering my assistance working with you for a week during tour nxt harvest. I don't want any pay only accommodation for the week. I would sleep in the cow barns for the crack. Would be one hell of an experience.

If this was near Wakarusa I followed the fastrac and 3 axel for a little bit. Very cool video

[@michaelkirkpatrick4282]

With all the effort to spread and compact silage, could sileage be "packed" into large square bales and stacked in the sileage bin?

[@orvanhochstetler7716]

Really.. Really cool...love driving them but wat does that say on the top of the windshield... I think I no them

[@Florian-qx4xi]

Do you Guys have the same problems as we have in Germany, with Wild Boars, Hogs in the Cornfields? The reason is, that i cant see any evidence in these Video of the Feld.These Fields you have over there are huge , and these traktors in Orange are impressive, Greetings from Germany and thank you for these nice harvesting video with explenation

[@farmhandmike]

Thanks, Wild hogs are a huge problem in several places in the USA and their range is getting bigger all the time. Don't really hear of it up here in these parts of the midwestern United States though. I know parts of Texas and Arkansas they are terrible.

[@melvinrenner2891]

What's the purpose of keeping the pile manicured? Wind erosion?

Another quality harvest video Mike! Thank you! Every year you are able to sniff out more great harvest videos that are awesome and captivating! You have the Midas touch for producing quality harvest videos . I wonder if they also have all that corn on the opposite side of the road ?

[@fbh31118]

Great video footage Mike! Wondering what the attachment on the back of the 290 is?

[@davidepool5884]

What that farm can harvest and pile in a day is probably more than we could could put up in a month with the one row silage cutter we used in the 70s. I think we switched to a two row silage cutter around the mid 70s. Farm equipment has come a long way since back then.

[@codyludwig2811]

I dont blame the operator if he misses a bit considering how fast the silage is being blown out of the spout and yet the wind can also be a factor noones perfect doesnt matter how good you are I can see it being tough blowing righ over the tractor cab that is quite a distance the chopper has to blow the forage rather than when the tractor is right beside it.

[@BarnyardEngineering]

Yeah, try shooting from a galloping horse at a moving target and see how many times you miss, right?

[@niekbier954]

I can see this the hole day 😂

[@bobbruce3925]

Good job Mike lots of quality shots there 👍🏻
