8:07 Rockin, rollin’ farm music. Now this song is what I call, “Farmer Bambi” because Bambi II (2006) is a farmer’s favorite Disney movie for me.

Hi Ryan and Hannah you two make great team always helping each other and when family join in things get done faster ⚡⚡

[@digger5858]

Nice video Ryan glad to see the whole family working hard. Hope you feel better soon

[@switzerblitzer2701]

I've always preferred relatively dry alfalfa hay baled during the night. Leaf retention is excellent most of the time and there's no need to wrap the bales in plastic. I was always very satisfied with alfalfa quality too.

[@hansjansen7047]

A true rendition of "make hay while the sun shines" or at least doesn't rain. Work 'til the job is done

[@perpersson442]

Published 12 minutes ago, better check what’s up. After watching I’ve to say that you did well, good video and great content. I’d say you got good quality out of those fields, will follow the feed out this winter and see if I can catch your commentary about this batch. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Regards from south Sweden.

[@brittblanton8342]

Great video Ryan, Hannah to the rescue 😊. That’s a bummer about your foot and then the surgery, I hope you are doing better 👍

[@patkelly7999]

Mighty work Everyone, hope You are a lot better now Ryan, have a good week🤞👌👍🙏😎

[@Greg_Gatsby]

I’m really glad to hear about the trailer repairs. I ache whenever I see you struggle.

[@felixzapata9058]

OMG!...nothing like stepping on something and hobbling around when there's so much to get done~! Hope you heal quickly and that you aren't suffering any more mishaps...and yes!...I love your trailer, also...lol...!

[@daleley7645]

Great explanation for making baleage. Nice that Hannah can help so much, makes life a lot easier when you have good help.

[@jcorbett63]

Glad to see both of you in the field. ❤

[@larrysheriff8251]

Hey Ryan, Hannah, Dad, and Travis. Great to see more Cow feed being made. Ryan if you can please show us the feed when you feed to the cows. I am Sorry about your foot. Will be praying about your surgery that it is not as bad and that your recovery time is quick.Take care, Take it Easy and Trust JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Ryan I'll pray that your foot gets better I forget the last time I stepped on a nail It was over 25 years ago Glad to see Hannah And your dad.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks Ben!

[@greghamann2099]

You really show off a piece of equipment well. It is no wonder you get to try out things. Your camera work is remarkable.

[@derekjensen5918]

Another grate video Ryan. The hay looks great and I really like how you explain everything about your operation on the farm. Can’t wait till the next video…God bless!!!

[@earlyriser8998]

good looking silage hay and starting to warm up is great i stepped on a nail at a construction site and it went through my whole foot....sticking out through my boot on top. Limped around like you for 2 weeks. No tetanus through :-) the time lapse and drone footage was awesome

[@Lilee177]

Ouch for your foot! I hope you feel better soon.

[@waterskiingfool]

Hope the foot heals up quick. Good luck with the surgery

[@Rcod2013]

Hi from oz Ryan. Congratulations on passing the silage making class. Time to take the advanced class. Can use 200 micron builders plastic tied on with twine as end caps. Set your windrow width at 5 feet for silage always. Pickup direct from windrow. Learn the twist test for moisture. With experience you can tell moisture by feel. Don’t worry if windrow dry on top mount underneath. Moisture will move around the bale to even things out. You are making progress to be master silage maker.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks for the advice! I'll try a 5 foot pass next year!

[@zilla2006able]

I hope you get better soon Ryan 😁

[@leol1682]

Enjoy the video Ryan and the Drone , love the music too .

[@HowFarmsWork]

[@tucobenedicto109]

Feel better Ryan. nice lights on the unit when running at night!

[@craigmiller5372]

Hope you’re foots doing better! I’m happy that you’re getting those gates fixed on the trailer as it was painful watching you do that all the time

[@dennisbrandt-vn4dp]

Great/informative video! Great to see Hannah again, been awhile! Shoulder surgery Ryan? Been there done that!Take care, God Bless!

[@coreyriskowski2520]

The farmers wife to the rescue. Lol. Love your videos and work

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks 👍

[@ThomasDrehfal]

Great video. Nice to see you two together. I hope things work out well with your foot and other surgery as well.

[@danechristian1768]

Hope your foot feels better soon. I stepped on a nail when I was about 10 years old. Still think about that now,and then.

[@Token_Civilian]

Hope your foot heals quick. Great stuff as always.

[@hillbillyhicks8102]

That's some good looking hay. I wish I had smell ah vision. I know that fresh cut hay smells awesome!!

[@hannahsmith239]

Every time we use the trailer “have I told you how much I love my trailer?!” Yes Honey, but I’ll listen every time you wanna talk about it 😂💙

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

Great video. I hope your foot heals nicely.

[@timjorden8329]

Beautiful bales. Looks like nice feed

[@SimonKL11]

Thanks for showing us how to make silage bales👍 your trailer is pretty nice for hauling bales😉👍 Hopefully your foot will heal fast🙄 Awesome video👍👍

[@stanhensley3082]

Great drone work!! Thanks 😊.

[@ollie-lk5dx]

Great feed your cows will love it !

[@gregcatlett1458]

Sorry Ryan but we make a lot of Balelege at 25% to 30% range and does excellent,plus not such a heavy bales. Just my dealings with the stuff in the rap. My experience at much higher moistures means juice running out of the bales. Beautiful stuff young man thanks to all.

[@HowFarmsWork]

We've had pretty good luck so far as well but I've seen some more mold on the bales in that range, probably due to not sealing the tube as good as it needs to be. I'm still learning the ropes of wrapping!

[@rtz549]

You can get paid monthly if you have wind turbines on your land. See about getting solar down the property lines. Or in an overhead providing shade for the house, barn, and cows.

[@boothienz8021]

You can make your own end caps with a short roll of wrap plastic

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

Hey Ryan! Greetings from Texas

[@HowFarmsWork]

Hey Todd!

[@stuartsplace100]

Good looking crop Ryan

[@rtz549]

Bales are nice looking.

[@charleslynch7274]

Sorry to hear about your foot hope it gets better fast also do u own that bail wrapper I love seeing that wrapper in action never gets old

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!!

[@HowFarmsWork]

Hey Doc!

[@eddief3326]

looks like you could take some heavy placit and cut into squairs and ty to end with baleing twine then wrap.

[@timkoelling1825]

Like watching you and your family..

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks for watching!

[@traderjoes8725]

Great video!

Good video

[@frystakfarmboys4430]

Hey ryan thats nice lookin alfalfa, do you run the impeller on low speed ? We do and it saves alot of leaves……..we love our kuhn❤

[@HowFarmsWork]

Always do on alfalfa and it makes a huge difference!

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@darkrevenger04]

any chance of Hannah cam? or even videos by her? Does travis or dad use the wrapper on their bales?

[@HowFarmsWork]

I should remind her to film herself more often, she does a pretty good job!

[@CurrentChoices]

Sooo really that Green or Wrap Color too?? City Slicker

[@peterjames2004]

go hannah !

[@EdCrowley-z6h]

Why cant you use a drill to operate the gate?

[@rtz549]

Just for fun I'd like to see a tune on that tractor. What's the highest it can be pumped up too?

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Ryan, Interesting the vairance in the moisture, do you think the trees round the field edge might have influenced it? or is it just dodgy moisture readings? thanks for sharing

[@HowFarmsWork]

Probably partly influenced by the time I reserved to allow the temperature sensor to adjust to the inner temperature of the bale. They say to let them stay in them for at least 10 minutes.

[@dbrbruce9950]

Love the accents.

[@jeremiahjohnson7619]

Us Wisconites don’t have an accent it’s you who have an accent.😂😂

[@cdarting91]

Crossbow is a great herbicide! Just about the only thing we can get to kill Himalayan blackberries out here in Northern California. Funny thing about it is that Crossbow is illegal to sell in California, but legal to use…..so ya. Lol.

[@rtz549]

Any savings on a propane conversion on that tractor?

[@rtz549]

Is that trailer maxed out with that amount of bales on it?

[@noelcahill6707]

Get kuhn to give you a combi wrapper baler

[@Bartjebart2]

Why not make an adapter on the openers on the trailer and use a cordless drill to open the gates?

[@cthomas1864]

Will the 46 be on the grain cart Travis said he wants to put the 79 on the grain wagon to hull between farms.

[@HowFarmsWork]

I expect the 4640 will stay on Brent duty!

[@rtz549]

If that 4640 is the cheapest to work on and maintain/rebuild; I'd put all the hours and miles on it. Rebuilt engine/trans at some point; will be like new again.

[@michaelolenick4078]

Wife loo k s like a pro driving that tractor with a little training she can run any piece of equipment. she is your boss anyhow. She just to need to stay positive she can do it.

[@rtz549]

Get someone in to drill a test well for oil or natural gas.

[@clinthochrein888]

I guess now that the round bales are made a compressed they started heating up? If my memory serves me correctly. Excellent job?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Yep! Heat builds up fast when there's no air flow into the bale and the microbes go nuts.

[@clinthochrein888]

[@billwieland8497]

Ryan: What's your ideal outdoor floor for wrapped bales.. dirt, concrete, elevated?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Concrete would be ideal, but I think I'd get by with a lime or gravel combo base of some sort.

[@eddeetz493]

You only get one back and hernias suck. For Hanna and a second truck, upgrade to electric opening doors. Farming is hard enough and that truck will be running.

[@markb.1259]

Ryan, I'm confused. Are you cutting this grass with the intention of making silage or dry hay??

[@HowFarmsWork]

Silage

[@justynkeyser9912]

How many bales can you wrap with 2 full rolls of plastic wrap?

[@HowFarmsWork]

~44 bales with 6 layers

[@karlrovey]

Ouch...

[@joshbutterfass5251]

We’re you wearing shoes when you stepped on that screw

[@danieldzurko8053]

Could you feed the outer silage bales more quickly and not lose them to spoilage?

[@HowFarmsWork]

I feed out about a bale and a half a day. I usually put 3 out and feed every other day. It's definitely better to feed out less every day, but most of the spoilage is from holes in the tube or a little loss on the outside from sweating.

[@danieldzurko8053]

Thank you for answering.@@HowFarmsWork

[@rtz549]

Can you sell sod, firewood, rocks, or top soil?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Plenty of that coming off the solar farm next door.

[@christianbest1979]

when is the next manure spreading vidoe and harvset video

[@HowFarmsWork]

They're both coming up pretty soon. I expect we'll be harvesting next week.

[@mattbucko6900]

If you use the tedder, will it make the hay dry a little faster?

[@HowFarmsWork]

It would if we wanted to make dry hay. If you’re making wet hay, it’s best to handle it fewest times possible to preserve leaves

[@Rcod2013]

Had client once who insisted they Ted behind mower and rake when ready. Was baling 3.5 hours after cutting. Did 1000 large square under covers like that.

[@HowFarmsWork]

@@Rcod2013 If you've got the manpower to do it, that's a quick way to make hay for sure.

[@Rcod2013]

Was the clients idea not mine. He even bought a new Tedder to do it himself.

[@Doobie2100]

Electric trap door openers /electrical tarp, are the only way to go. Your shoulders and back will thank you.

[@jaredmoorman1300]

New doors crank so easy… with the amount of grain Ryan hauls it would be hard to justify the extra cost

[@Doobie2100]

@@jaredmoorman1300 Very true, they’re expensive, but so are injuries. That’s the way I look at it. Ryan will have todo, what’s right for Ryan and his budget.

[@jaredmoorman1300]

@@Doobie2100 should of rebuilt the doors right away when he got that trailer!…. Hey maybe the wd-40 sponsorship will pay for the surgery tho?!

[@nikphoenix]

skip the electric traps and just carry an electric cordless socket driver and correct size socket. Then you use that for other jobs as well

[@Homegardener55]

You could always throw the alfalfa into the harvestore, why don’t you guys cut silage?

[@HowFarmsWork]

The harvestores would need probably $20K thrown at them at least to get running again, even then the feed would be on a different farm so we couldn't do it for my cattle.

[@b2617]

Foot pain is the worst. You don't realize how much you rely on your feet

[@bendavis9656]

Why don’t you guys chop your haylage?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Don’t have a chopper any more or a good way to feed it out

[@jamiemiller6156]

Why couldn't you just keep a roll of 6mil plastic sheeting at your place as a backup in case you run out of end caps? Cut a square large enough to cover the ends and it would seal things better than dry bales of hay.

[@nikphoenix]

I'd say keep square sheets cut from old wrapping to use. Put one sheet in then put a dry bail to press is tight and wrap up like normal

[@robwoods5537]

U buying another house?

[@scericat]

I thought alfalfa was bad for cattle.
