We are a fair way off silage here in Dorset, England with cattle only going out on the driest farms yet. Plus, still have cool winds and showers of rain daily ! Looks good with you. 🙏

[@farmerspov4709]

So I hear 🤔 it was but yesterday we got cold and snow, some hail today... 🙄

[@SheriffSticky]

My family farm has only grain and I've never done silage. Would love to try that some day! 😁 Love your videos!

[@Raznac]

Wonderful content!!

[@johnthompson982]

That was so nice to see you're first cut in the silo so early in the year Gasper what a great start to the year hopefully it continues that way You're drone shots were spectacular as always the sunset and scenery wonderful Really enjoyed the video as always looking forward to the next one Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮

[@farmerspov4709]

Yes and it was very nice to work on dry ground and in sunny weather. Now we got cold temperatures and even some snow so hopefully this doesn't last long 🙃 thank you 🙂

I can smell the grass through the screen, which i didn't know was possible. They haven't started the season where i live, so it's not that

Thanks 🙂 yep 😁

If I had my own farm and not in this country the way you farm is how I would want to do it. I enjoy farming and your methods seem very.... peaceful if that sounds right? Keep up the great content 👍👍

[@farmerspov4709]

Nice 👍 yeah, peacefully is how I like to do it 😀 thanks 🙂

Nice Video 👍🏻 Good to see the next Generation watching Dad how he works😊 But standing on a Palette on the Frontloader might be risky, in my area there have been some incidents🤔 Stay safe my Friend😁

[@waynerichardson930]

Based upon this video are to conclude that you will have some carryover hay this year? If so, that must seem very nice for a change.

[@farmerspov4709]

Yes that's right, it seems like a blessing lately 😀

[@marekskolimowski3537]

great, and by the road, there are poles with a roof, what was it used for, e.g. at a fork in the road, maybe an old photo

[@farmerspov4709]

Hm, maybe you mean "kozolec"? It was used back in the day for drying hay.

No, not usually.

Could you please explain what is the best feed for fattening bulls or calves?

[@hanshammink6380]

Why dont you use the john deere or the new holland for the forage weagen

[@farmerspov4709]

New Holland isn't heavy enough and we use JD for compacting because its the heaviest.

[@moatfarmsuffolks4471]

If the weather is good enough to start a first cut sileage, why do you still have livestock indoors please?

[@farmerspov4709]

Cows stay in, heifers are out.

No, we usualy start in May.

[@georgeehlers6622]

On your pottinger forage wagon I've noticed that the pto shaft is under the drawbar of the tractor is it standard spec never seen or used something with pto under drawbar maybe it's a European thing

[@farmerspov4709]

Yeah its pretty common with this loader wagons, I guess it tows better 🤔

[@daneenmurf1043]

I think in mainland Europe they use a type of truck hitch that can be adjusted up and down. By contrast in the UK and here in Ireland we mainly use pick up hitches

[@georgeehlers6622]

@daneenmurf1043 did 4 years farming in uk pickup hitch is the business you hitch equipment fast no jacks to raise trailers🤙

No but the wagon cuts it to about 5 centimeters. We're filling two silos to have the same feed in both.

@@SteveHubler-i7z thanks 🙂 yes I agree 👍

[@justafinman2640]

Great video. Why you filling two silos sametime? "Dum asking" 😂🫣

[@farmerspov4709]

So we have this 1st cut field grass in both silos, for feed consistency. Its also easier to fill two at once, one is filling and the other compacting. Also we try to have both filled up about the same before we fill them with corn in the fall. And as the saying goes, there's no stupid questions, just stupid answers 😀

[@justafinman2640]

@@farmerspov4709 How many crops can you get from the grass there in the summer? Here in Finland, we get two harvests, and if we're lucky, maybe a third. Growing corn here is still quite challenging and expensive here at 63 latitude.

[@farmerspov4709]

@@justafinman2640 4-5 cuts here. I see. The corn grows good here but lately its either drought, too much rain, hail or heavy winds that gets it... Or wildlife 😅
