Filling Silo

[@jdog9468]

This channel never get boring to watch Thanks for posting as often as you do I know it's a lot of work plus all your other chores!

[@neillouise7533]

You're an optimist, Eric. You see the silo as half full. Excellent!

[@dylanmatter1088]

That's because they are in the mind set of filling it. If it were winter and have been feeding from it for awhile it would be half empty. Sociology.

[@lightbulb1982]

[@TwistedSCREWTVG]

Silos seem like a huge PITA! Job well done!

[@JohnDoe-dk8zz]

I'm System Administrator ( IT World ) and sometimes i wish i could leave my damn chair and go farming and working like you do. Much respect, im still saving for my futur Hobby Farm/Ranch. Keep up the good work Eric.

[@robertg.9964]

I remember well as a teenager bailing hay for a local farmer. Pick it up, throw it on the truck, bring the truck back to the barn and unload and stack all by hand and getting absolutely covered in fine particles of hay. I was always so fricken itchy with a thick coat of sweat. I smelled worse than the cows in the barn.....but I miss it. I learned a lot about work ethic working on the farm. Good family values too.

[@organbuilder272]

Memories of life on a farm. You should have stayed with it. Touch life but rewarding in many ways.

[@robertg.9964]

@@organbuilder272 Huge percentage of the farms here in CT have sold out to development. In my town, there are 2 Xmas tree farms left. The rest have sold there land to the town for open space or to a developer.

[@paulcooney7068]

God bless you and all farmers you feed us three times a day 👍

[@jonnies6655]

The money and expertise needed for your equipment alone is astounding. What a complicated operation and run by just a few people. Amazing and impressive. Wow!!!!

[@aaronbrown07]

You should ask the chopping guys if they would let you give a tour of their machine. It's pretty cool.

Eric, you are an awesome worker. You and your dad did a great job. Thank you for the amazing video

[@biggestpanda6477]

I like Ethan, he seems like a solid kid. Not too many young people like that would show up to a farm to work everyday.

[@Navajo-man]

Hi Eric and dad excellent video as always love how you working with your dad and as always you and your dad and families all be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@kylereese6647]

I would everyday

[@cowboyupnow63]

There’s a lot of kids Ethan’s age that don’t wanna work. They rather stay inside and be on video games. My folks need help with their yard work and I can’t be there to help because of work. Trying to find young help is tough these days.

[@ivanrupic9769]

Well i would help everyday ofc bcs i hate being lazy and just wasting my time on doing nothing instead of working and helping someone out

[@lrn_news9171]

I actually want to work on a dairy farm and learn from a farmer. I did work on one when I was a kid but now at 29 I actually want to get into farming. The best way to get started is to find a farmer who would hire me to work and teach me stuff.

[@ArizonaKid]

Hey my fellow dairy farmer , well I’m retired lol but I live my younger years through this show

[@cowboyupnow63]

Happy fed cows give good quality milk. Thanks for the vids Eric.

[@dmc3742]

I remember that trip up the silo every morning at 4:30 AM to throw down the mornings silage for the dairy cows after milking. We weren't fortunate enough to have a unloader to do that for us. Guess that's why my dad had two sons.

[@shawnszymczak6538]

Yikes that sounds fun

[@williamw1907]

I remember that too! Pick axe and a fork. Down the chute to wheel barrow. Ugh

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Climbing the silo to fork out silage makes me think of a “funny story”. My Father I believe was quite progressive for the time, he bought a silo unloader in about 1960. But the interesting story his he had a barn cleaner installed in 1955, two years before my folks had indoor plumbing installed in 1957. That’s the year they had there 6th child, my Mother was taking care of 5 boys before indoor plumbing.

[@acceptingabnormal]

Thank you, and William W, for commenting! I've often wondered about what was done before unloaders, how long unloaders have existed, which lead to how long silos existed and if they always had unloaders, which seemed unlikely. Anyway, I wondered but that seemed like a heck of a thing to Google. 😆 I can really picture it now.

[@acceptingabnormal]

And Old American Iron too! Thanks to you all!

[@davidmckinzie6009]

Great video today, enjoy watching you and your dad get things done. Brings back good memories, you guys be safe and take care of your family. God bless from San Diego Ca

It’s amazing how much work goes into just getting the feed right. Around here (south Alabama) folks raise beef cattle they just put em out to pasture... Honestly makes me appreciate the Dairy products I consume.

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video Eric . Very nice feed . Ag bags yes better feed , faster to get it out , disadvantage is a lot of plastic , silo takes longer . Great feed. Advantage no plastic, they have there ups and downs .

[@jeff4044]

Looks like Dad has recovered nicely. God Bless.

[@ОлександрПавленко-у9с]

Good luck and big like from Ukraine with best regards.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

I'm finding more and more that chopping hay is getting more common. 20 years ago I don't know of anyone that did. I suppose these mixer feeders and TMRs are the reason. Those weren't around in the '80's. At least not in my area. I always have and still enjoy filling silo. Thanks for bringing me along.
