I swear watching corn go in the grain tank is just soo satisfying! Awesome drone shots!!

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@BrianGLee-bc7hj]

Heating up lunch on manifold and the oil container is definitely old school

[@fragelicious]

This is a good farming channel to watch. Thanks, brother.

[@charlesvaughn9055]

Your a good man, a hard worker, and one of the best farmers I've ever seen!!!!!🚜🚜🚜🐄🐄🐄

[@timlawson9370]

Thank you for taking the time to film on your farm

[@davidmoran1422]

Michigan farming at its best. Love driving through that area. On my drives from metro Detroit to Northern Michigan I will go through there. Thanks for sharing Kip.

[@steveminnich9864]

My wife loves Grant! I really like your videos. Thanks for everything.👍

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍he’s a happy boy

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You

[@Doug8D3]

Pretty pumped to find your channel! Love the content so far, and to see you're a fellow Michigander is cool. I'm between Lansing and Flint! Thanks for the videos

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@tylerbolton7310]

I like the way you do things. Feeding without a mixer and blending the corn in the silo. Using the the tools you have and being creative. Great channel!!

[@lennissytsma5503]

When you had the power off and showed us the insides of chopper blower, that was great. I was glad to see you keep your distance from the pto and the auger. Also, I am on my hobby horse again when I say that I wish you would describe the smell of the silage! Thanks for another great video!

[@israelmathes6268]

I am glad I am not the only one to use the tractor exhaust to heat food.

[@miguelamaya6246]

Thank you for sharing your video it's very educational..

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

My pleasure

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Big Grant working on a mullet.

[@michaelstewart8806]

Equipment, equipment, equipment, equipment. That's the way to make good time on projects. Cows are gonna love that feed come January and February. Wow! What are you guys feeding Grant, growing like a weed. Lol. Take care and be safe guys. Have a good one. God Bless you all.

[@howardroache9262]

4430 John Deere my favorite tractor I learned on on when I was 7 years old

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

That's awesome

[@bosseliminator]

When we were dairy had the same Gehl grinder blower. Takes some power and puts the tractor thru it’s paces running it all day.

[@homey3051]

Thanks for sharing your vid’s with us!

[@jamesbrown8718]

Great video Kip, I enjoy ask the drone footage of the farm. I am glad you all are going to have plenty to feed this winter. Grant is growing up, and I am sure the new baby is growing as well.

[@danielhurrle7008]

Great video Kip, Grant sure is getting big. My favorite time of the year is Harvest season.

[@stevebiddle8912]

Excellent video. Hadn’t seen you doing high moisture corn and silage. Cows probably love that!!

[@bigdcarmichael]

Killer drone shots. Teamed with great music. Love the change in weather. Loaded up with milk and cheese.

[@jeremygrubb1434]

That wet corn is like some of the wet coal we dump but we haul a lot more weight we’re around 55 to 70 ton just in coal you are right about dumping you have watch how you dump I like keeping truck and trailer in line but like your set up you can’t be in line your doing a good job keep it up and the good videos coming be safe out there

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

thanks for sharing. Fall is always a challenge and wonderful time on the farm. Thank you for the invite to your farm. May your Harvest go smoothly and all stays safe...

[@JamesPecora]

When my brother and I (2nd generation), took over in the early 70's, we put up a harvestor silo . The first 2 years we had the same gehl machine you are using. Only we ground up ear corn. Made great feed. After that we only put up high moisture corn.. It made more sense for our feeding program at the time. By the way, why did yous have that silo a little higher than the other 4.Love your channel.Good luck with your arthritis. I inherited the same thing from my father, but not as bad as what you have.

[@joegilkey4664]

Enjoyed the video Kip . Miss seeing in the parlor. The whole farming operation is always fun too watch . But the milking is interesting. I like my dairy products. Thanks too all you farmers.

[@tylermacali]

Love the old-school mason jars for the oil!

[@mllee2008]

"Welcome back to the farm" love it!! ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@paulreis1648]

Happy Farmer's day great feed

[@jamesryan9206]

Thank you keep it going.

[@leereedy5107]

Kip, I love those Ball oil dispensors, reminds me of my youth.

[@tomharmon5198]

We use to put up high moisture corn in a Harvestor petty much like you do. But now we run it through a buffalo roller and pack it into an outdoor concrete bunker.

[@57fitter]

I was JUST about to ride you about the haircut when you acknowledged the need. I just love the old school ness of you guy's operation--The Mason jar oil bottle with steel funnel. Farm on,Kip.

[@paullazenby7693]

You have a beautiful farm

[@markgreen9763]

I love all the videos I would like to come up and see the farm

[@josephbeaudoin1299]

Nice Video Kip . Yes you should keep the Tractor as straight as possible under the dump trailer . Esp with wet corn . Just in case one side hangs up a little . And no 2 loads dump the same . I pulled a dump trailer over 48 years with all kinds of loads . High wind is not your friend when you got one in the air ether ! I do know your limited on space around the barns . 👍👍

[@rickrick7309]

Good drone footage I love doing corn

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@stephenkeller6894]

Nice to see the recutter blower back in action after it went down last fall!

[@fastsetinthewest]

Like to see the beautiful cold Michigan weather. Eaglegards...

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@randyphillips5713]

Another great video.

[@gregkoenig9200]

We always made cob corn for hi moisture. Crank cylinder speed up and crush the cob and take bottom sieve out of combine and just float just the trash out

[@cliffarnoldussen4781]

We used to do high moisture corn with a Gleaner combine we had a screen that we put in there for high moisture corn to put more cob in with the corn don't John Deere have one for their machines you get a lot better feed that way and it does pack

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video

[@phyllishalley8972]

Loved this video!!! Ty 😃 Btw ... I ordered a hoodie and got a message today saying it's on the way..... Woohoo 🙌🙌🎉🎉 🙏🙏

[@scotcoon1186]

I think that grinder blower does have a chopper cutterhead in it. More like a complete cutterhead housing with brackets to make it feed into a blower. Pretty efficient way to build it- raid the existing parts bins.

[@stevenhancock7462]

Awesome job

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Thanks!

[@tomhall7250]

Think I’ll have a large bowl of ice cream, large glass of milk with Oreos! Thanks

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@jaybernieschoep3491]

ever try shredding corn stalks that were combined. run a shredder through it. rake it run through chopper with hay head on. makes great bedding.

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Sounds good!

[@gatorguy7711]

Another great video! Good content and drone shots..

[@raymitch3768]

We use the snapper head off the combine on our harvester, I suspect it sort of ends up very much like what your end product would look like, but we don't need the combine, and the processor is right in the harvester.

[@blakereed9998]

Man I just found ur video like em down to the point,new sub for sure..

[@shealy265]

Wet corn versus earlage? Can your chopper handle earlage? Other dairymen seem to like the fiber of the cob in their MTR mix of feed. Just curious.

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

We might do that one day

[@michealnuss1179]

Earlage good way to start and feed fat cattle

[@michealnuss1179]

Have an AirHand blower that puts high moisture corn( 28%) in Harvestore as whole kernel.

[@johnhenderson299]

Great video

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@teespoon1750]

Great video Kip! Interesting how you add a load of corn "chopped high" every few loads. Wondering how this effects nutrition consistency when you feed it out?

[@markklumpp39]

Interesting. When we did high moisture earlier corn. We'd take screens out of the combine to get some cob included

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍It works for us, every farms different

[@Farmingfrommyangle.]

what about the number 6 circle silo pad there? a used to be or a possible future silo?

[@jeremymulder2453]

Kip, why don't you put the combine corn head on the chopper? I have a lot of people around me who do that.

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

We thought about it, but the combine is faster

[@jeeveswooster6922]

They don’t have a kernel processor on the chopper. You have to set the processor really close to grind the corn but it is way faster than a combine because even with a 6 or 8 row head on a small chopper it still isn’t at capacity because their isn’t much going through besides the ear!

[@dominikpiskoric9649]

Farm kitchen is hot engine

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video Kip. It was interesting and enjoyable. Like the new hat you have out. Nice looking. That truck trailer you have with the stainless steel bed is great to have. That was not cheap to build. You can get grain out of it easier. Nice rig you have. The blower you have to get grain in the silo is an old timer. Works great. Sometimes the old equipment works better than the new stuff. Great teamwork from everyone getting the grain in the silo. My compliments to all of you for your teamwork. The drone footage today was outstanding. Love the drone footage film. Great to see. Thanks for doing that. Hello to young man grant. He is really growing. Will be quite the guy on the farm. Agree with you Kip to stand away from the blower grinder. Very dangerous piece of equipment. Be really careful!!!!!!!!’ Thanks for the good maintenance on your equipment. Runs a lot longer that way. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Kip. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. Kip, my compliments to you. You are a hard working farmer.

[@Travis_Rivers]

Man I'd love to come work for you for a summer man oh man I love it

[@easternshorevic6015]

Your videos are great. Just the right amount of information and explanation. Is high moisture corn about 30%?

[@andrewbusshardt4533]

Great videos just subscribed acouple weeks ago there awesome!!! Is the silo u are filling the last to get a new roof??? Keep the videos coming and thanks for all u do!!!

[@fastsetinthewest]

I never see Kip drinking milk. Have you? Hahahaha. Seriously.

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍Yes last roof will go on

[@karolschulz48]

You need some high vis gloves and a vest so you can be seen by the truck driver. There was one backup you could tell he was struggling to see you. Just a safety thought. How do you keep the corn from spoiling? Do you start feeding right away?

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Yes start feeding right away

[@Smonhaut]

That conveyor and walking on that pile looks like a death trap to me. We always ran into into an auger that fed the blower. Kept us away more, might not work for chopped ear corn

[@boatanchorengineworks9005]

I wonder how many people still use a glass Ball Mason jar to fill oil? The best way to get a smooth pour!

[@gregcatlett1458]

Lot of weight in the old girl😂silo. Thanks Kipp Dump trailers make me nervous 😢.

[@Smonhaut]

I like that trailer on the semi, what is it?

[@kelvinstecklein8570]

If late on the season would you purchase more high moisture corn to top off the silo

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Thanks very interesting just subbed

[@SortaProfessional89]

I was hoping I'd get to hear you say "that's a lot of tonnage" instead of "a ton of weight" lol It makes me laugh everytime I hear it. "Lot of tonnage"

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍yes lol

[@SortaProfessional89]

Next time 👍

[@jimmiller1108]

Kip, what keeps your high moisture corn from spoiling in an unsealed silo? When I was a kid we had a short Harvestor silo for that.

[@TimothyNess-h8u]

Mental!? Stress?.... Ummmm??? 😮!? Keep up the the good work.. kip!.. "seigler".... !?!? Bulls eye 🎯!!

[@tammygeeck9300]

Why do you layer high moisture corn then silage then corn? Don't you want consistency when feeding the cows?

[@stephenkeller6894]

It’s to help the silo unloader from not getting stuck. The drive wheels spin out easily when it’s just straight ground shelled corn.

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

was there 6 silos at one point? Or what was that pad beside the hmc silo?

[@truebluebluetick]

Did you have heat stress to the corn this year? Those fields look like they have stress spots in the drone footage.

[@grantmagnuson4883]

What is in the chopper wagon?

[@paulprillwitz9901]

👍👍👍

[@dianebills5433]

I am pretty new and I’m just confused. So silage is the everything the stop the corn everything. When you just do the corn what do you do with the rest of the stock etc

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Corn silage yes it whole stalk and ear, high moisture grain is just the ear, the rest of the stalk stays in the field and decomposes

[@dianebills5433]

@@KipSieglerFarming1 thank you for explaining that. I enjoy your channel

[@somethinburnin]

Curious, round pad next to high moisture silo? Future build? Grain bin? Or lose a silo?

[@southpawred7172]

Didn’t you guys buy a used 9500 a year or so ago, curious if you sold it?

[@stevewalker9449]

Pretty sure it’s sitting there in one of the drone shots

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Yes still have it, probably going to be trading it

[@southpawred7172]

Thanks, enjoy your channel.

[@jaybernieschoep3491]

how is the shell corn yielding per acre?

[@noelhohberger1188]

Gotta get some ear plugs Kip. You'll be deaf hanging around that stuff.

Looking good.🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆

[@jeffryhauer7419]

What size silo are you filling?

[@stijnreygaerts1676]

Why don't you put your cornhaed on your chopper and harvest the corncob whit the chopper much easier.

[@leonellopez565]

Hi. Kip, how are you? I will like to work in your farm, any openings??

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Hello, no nothing sorry

[@colorado1088]

Will the elevators ever let a dump truck like this unload at their places?
