FIRST Corn Silage Video for the 2022 Season

[@gman7640]

Only people who have actually worked on a farm can appreciate how amazing this is.

[@markiowa5437]

For some reason I could watch packing silage all day long. Great video.

[@tony98discovery]

haha, you should become a farmer to practice these jobs

[@Houston123ABC]

The smell of all that chopped corn!

[@ledebuhr1]

Mike, It was nice of them to turn on the giant "Cooling fans" for you, :)

[@jamesharrier6633]

Looks like organized chaos on the silage piles

[@carsonkirshner6849]

Its hard not to love a mike less corn silage video. Awesome job. Can't wait for the many more corn silage videos this year

[@tony98discovery]

Me too, even though I'm not a farmer these silage videos get me excited

[@DR-UTAH]

I can’t even explain how good the videos are on this channel keep up the work

[@coryfritz295]

Man. It seems like they were planting corn just yesterday!! Summer flew by!! Awesome footage once again, Mike!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@farmhandmike]

Yes I agree, It does seem like this summer did fly by and now it's September. I'm ready for time to slow down a bit.

[@fendtsrbest6976]

I scratch my head when I see a 2 track tractor packing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the idea of tracks was to minimize compaction. 🤔🤔

[@SortaProfessional89]

Really awesome to see those two Claas Xerions working the pit. Very rare to see them in the US but I feel like with all the weight you can stack on them and the 4wheels steer thy should be killer in the pit

[@markreetz1001]

That was some mega chopping! Thanks Mike.

[@chadshafer8095]

Great Video as Always, I love the Xerion Tractors & Claas Choper.

[@johnertel2957]

That silage sample gives new meaning to a “Cobb Salad”.

[@Landeisonsbeck]

The set up from both farm is 👌

[@404nitro]

We went and checked out the Deutz dealer in Olivet MI last weekend that you mentioned a video or two back. Sat in some of the tractors. I really like those things! Kinda neat to see those Claas 4WD's in this one.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great video Mike! It's amazing the amount of material these forage harvesters can process!

[@Navet63]

I can only imagine how good that forage smells. Thanks for sharing MIke.

[@tonyburelle6633]

As always a great chopping video, very interesting seeing the two farms under one name, lot of corn being chopped, also loved seeing the R model pulling a trailer, thanks for these great videos Mike

[@tony98discovery]

You must be a person who loves agriculture very much. Do you work on farms?

[@tonyburelle6633]

Yeah half my life, farming and construction, I have and do love it!

[@Andy-From-England]

I will leave a comment.....great video FHM your top notch 👌

[@abdulgandy1222]

If I have the chance to visit the US, this is the only thing I will learn and come back to my country and practice it

[@SimonKL11]

Great to see a corn chopping video from you😁👍 that is a serious operation with many nice machines👍😉 Awesome footage Mike, thank you👍

[@gavinwill4291]

Nice video. Good too see the claas xerions. Some nice trucks operating there as well, you do a good job with the filming. Gavin

[@sergiomarin1793]

What a beast of a chopper

[@lllllRBlllll]

Alright baby it's planting season which means it's time to be excited about corn chopping for the next 4 months! Let's review all of Mike's videos in preparation of the 2024 season.

[@farmhandmike]

I still have a few corn silage videos from last fall to edit yet.

[@toddmartin4399]

Great video Mike! We are chopping over here by Hollansburg for the next couple of days if you want to swing by, you'd be more than welcome to.

[@marcelocunico5341]

Great vídeo Mike. Success always.

[@ndfields1]

Really good video Mike. You're right, there's something about chopping corn silage, love it. And, not too far my my neck of the woods in this one. Do you ever see any of these dairy farmers doing earlage anymore? Super rich silage lots of folks don't do a lot of anymore, I don't think... Been out of those circles for many years now, but IMO you can't beat the smell of good earlage, better than corn silage even. Would be great to see if you get the chance. At any rate, another thumbs up from me. Thank you!

[@mikem3941]

Best vid you ever done!...perfect!...thank you

[@farmhandmike]

Okay wow and thanks

[@ActiveJoe]

A great video Mike - thanks for posting and sharing. So odd to see all of the windmills in operation - I've always noticed at least a few not operational but here they all seemed to be running well. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸

[@mattiabianchi4182]

Your videos always are fantastic

[@diersirrigation]

I heard a rumor that you have a video coming up soon at an all Allis Chalmers farm. Can't wait to see it!

[@egomania2792]

My uncle is a dairy farmer in northern Germany. Harvesting season is always great, getting to see the harvester and the big tractors with their trailers. I remember one season that was so rained out that all the farmers had no other choice but to harvest in the rain and mud, tractors getting stuck was pretty frequent. They couldn't run double tires or anything because the field approaches and roads were way too narrow. So this one time a chaff tractor gets stuck (he was barely even loaded at that point), they call the "pulling tractor" who they had at the ready on the field (just to put into perspective how muddy it was XD). He attaches the rope, they start pulling, and the pulling tractor gets stuck as well 🤣🤣 So in the end they get the harvester. It was one of the first Claas Jaguar 980's I've seen, he pulls in front of both stuck tractors, they attach a second rope, the harvester starts his gigantic motor and pulls out both tractors. It was amazing to see for me, I don't remember how old I was, about 10 maybe. Mike, one question: do you know what tillage operation this farm runs? All these big trucks in the field must create a lot of compaction, not to mention the corn roots themselves.

[@fredscott9090]

You have great vids.. we farm in east central IN. randolph delaware counties but dont see much dairy work over here..keep up the good work..

[@luisnunes7933]

Hello! That's a remarkable operation!

[@thomasleonard1846]

Awesome operation!

[@Simon-tm9xr]

Awesome job Mike....one of the best silage video ever.....thanks a lot!! Keep it up and good luck from an Italian fan!!

[@jeremyswindell2330]

nice video mike, as always

[@daviddziomba9664]

Good video Mike some very impressive operations out there hope you stayed dry while there, skys looked kind of angry in some of the background shots. In case you mite be interested, the boys here in Northern Maine are combining their small grain crops, oats, I think barley, and canola,they'll probably start potatoes in a few weeks, have seen harvesters being gotten ready, to go, and potato houses being cleaned out, kind of to keep you up dated on things I'm seeing here in my travels.

[@jeffreyhoover2105]

I would love to know how many cows these two farms milk each day and how Manny acres of corn they plant for corn silage would have very large amount mike I love this time of year during corn choping time I love to smell of corn silage .this is my favorite times of the year .I never get tired of watching your videos mike I enjoy them all when I get a chance to watch them as always keep the good work excellent video coverage mike

[@tugboat2739]

Very good video farmhand

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You

[@brentfarrow8125]

Great video thanks 😎

[@paulprigge1209]

Be interesting to see how they handle the waste system. From Collection to distribution. Andy on farming fixing and fabricating is pretty interesting with farming and the dairy. Small outfit just 1700 milkers I’m guessing.

[@sinclairfarms]

Great vid mike

[@jeffrosen8237]

A quick question. I thought that tracks were low compaction. My tracked skider was great but i couldn't pack gravel ect with it. Thanks for sharing. As a old farmer i enjoy your videos.

[@GCHG2014]

If they are trying to compact the silage while stacking it, why don't the non stacking tractors that are compacting it use a small compaction attachment like a "final pass" to cover more area, use less fuel and speed up the process?

[@abdulgandy1222]

Nice videos 🙏👍 keep it up

[@tucobenedicto109]

If a farm is harvesting silage and doormat get the cover on before the rain 🌧️ like a downpour. Does it hurt the silage?

[@koffmann1689]

I have never seen any Xerions in the US. Amazing!

Packing with a tracked vehicle???

[@208SledHead]

Is there a method they use to flush animals out of the corn fields before the choppers go through or does it just get.....messy sometimes? lol

[@OGRE.79]

Animals are usually left to figure it out.

[@floridamanrun463]

Badass! 🐊

Mike, thanks for your videos. Just a wonderin, have ya converted to that Sikn reeligon with that long white beard-? Hopefully not.

This year our silage corn is half the size and mass from the last year.Very bad.When I am at the chopper it is like lawn mowing.😁

Great video, which packs better, tracks or tires?

[@Beyonder8335]

I’m not an expert but I’d guess tires since they have a smaller footprint.

[@Louis-B-53]

That maze is much taller than here in the uk

[@jimcarter7742]

How far is this from I-65? I literally drove through there this weekend. I saw the windmills.

Is that sweet corn that there using

No it's field corn. Sweet corn generally doesn't get this tall either.
