How many tons filled the silo?

[@maryrussell7298]

Andy you are one tough dude! You lead by example!,

[@phil6465]

Maybe he has to lead the work to ensure it’s done right?😎

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Looks like Sarah has officially taken over the combine and did an awesome job with it. 20 year old combine and.good for 20 more. Congrats on a.smooth corn harvest.

[@jackthewisedog5171]

Sarah has been on the combine one year and already she needs a bigger combine. 😆 Go Sarah !

[@curtislewis5437]

That combine will last another twenty years as long as you're maintaining it, Andy! You are the man......

The Farmer`s Daughter`s are really Shinen on this channel👍

[@markreetz1001]

Great video Andy. Congrats on finishing harvest. Enjoy going up in the silo.

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Thank you, Andy.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Nice job Andy. I got in the house tonight and my 7 year old little guy was waiting to see if you posted a video. Out of all the crap he's exposed to, at the end of the day he'd rather watch you level off the silo... so we're in good shape here lol. I gotta work on a Jamesway unloader tomorrow actually. Awesome video take it easy man

[@gwbuilder5779]

Precious moments sir.🤙

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Awesome to hear

[@barrysimmons5489]

That's great! Sarah taking over that antique machine and operating with no damages or failures beyond that one belt. OUTSTANDING performance ce⚘️ Andy & Andy on the same .... that'd sure be a trip! Thanks for sharing. 🤎🇺🇲👍👋😎

Great job Sarah on running the corn crop this year. When are you going to pass off the torch on climbing that silo Andy . Don't you think it's about time ???? STAY SAFE AND WARM EVERYONE !!!!!

Jay was a good cameraman. Nice teamwork.

[@michaelmeyers9506]

Look how nice and clean Sarah kept that combine all season. 👍

[@timmieclark9976]

Good job on harvest Andy. I like to watch the harvest as it is a little different than it was done 50 years ago. Our biggest tractor was 60 hp. Two wheel drive, no cab.

[@kaldudas9651]

Silo holds 1000 tons great video with the maintenance you do on the combine it will go another 20 years and don’t forget to replace that belt good catch by her an Sarah is a very good operator you train her well 👍🚜

[@robertlusnia506]

Great video enjoyed seeing what you do in the silo at the end

[@hingtgenfarms2680]

We always strap the cover and shovels onto the unloader before we wrap it up. Seems to work pretty good

[@deernutOO]

Apparently you can't turn on the unloader to use the auger of the unloader to level off the corn. Am sure I could figure out the reason why if I thought about it a bit more, and you already have the best way figured out over many years of doing this chore. Nice to have the corn combining done and a solid combine operator to handle that job. Awesome. Can't wait to see the 12 row, that'll take up some roadway, for sure. 😁😁

[@nomerc3608]

Awesome job Sarah! 👍🏻🇺🇸🫡

[@davidholder3207]

943 tons Andy. You had less than 200 acres to harvest. I saw your answer and I was rather high. A yield of 4 tons to the acre was a farmers dream back in the '60's. The 20 yo Harvester is a model from an era when "Made in the USA" still meant something and inferior Chinese parts were unknown. One can only wish that 6th Jan 2025 will mark the start of a return to those times.

[@patrickerger7271]

Awesome Video. 😊

[@randybennett5417]

That should reduce the grain bill this winter and spring.

Hi Andy ! you have 800 tones a very High qualité protein and sugar for those cows in next june . Good job over all your 2024 season ! Good job Sarah cleaning her combine after harvest and whit out a scratch or a dent .10/10 she is very good at operating big equipement she learned from the best , you Andy ! your yard view from the top of the silo or from the drone is beautiful how full of feed you have for this winter . let's turn the heat in the shop , i am shure you having many projet in the shop to come . Thanks for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋‍♂️

[@thewayidoit8895]

Working with your children is so rewarding. Most people, once the kids are 18 its weekends and holidays. (Maybe younger). Parents that consider a "good relationship" might see kids evenings and weekends. You are doing it right. Expanding the business and giving them jobs. If all goes bad they can go drive for Gypsum Express!

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thanks for sharing. Can I ask how you figure out your tonnage? No new scratches or dents! No sear pins? The boot didn't come off? No cab corn! Geuss that proves it!!!! Miss Sarah is a pro combine orprater!! WTG!! Miss Sarah. Congratulations! The price of engine corn is the price of being a great combine orprater!! Super job...

[@donalddehaven3229]

Sarah needs a new combine. Twenty years, you got your money’s worth for sure. Unfortunately the new ones just aren’t built as good as the old ones. I’ve watched ZK Mastertech a John Deere mastertech and they have had their issues

[@gregcatlett1458]

Scratch and DENTS only with ANDY! Thanks SARAH YES A 12 row👍👍.

[@stephenbreckenridge6009]

She done a great job soon it will be a antique

[@jasonhartman3530]

how tall is the silo? Another great video!!!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

85’

[@r.scotthill3082]

How many days will it take to feed out those 800 tons?

[@thewayidoit8895]

Just so we all remember, the high moisture corn was down 8-1/4 doors when it got tarped. Andy says it'll settle at least a couple right away.

[@charlietanner6211]

as big a operation as you all have i commend you on how you keep stuff repaired parts are high but a new green weanie big boy is a cool million

[@gwbuilder5779]

Another season in the books.🤙

[@ronniejenkins4633]

I was just wondering if you could put high moisture corn in a bunk, I have heard of that, I don't know myself I just thought that I would ask that question, I enjoyed the video.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We have in the past

[@wolfonthehill5134]

The 2 Andy's would be entertaining to watch lol

[@johnhenderson299]

Great video

[@ericthemanson6321]

I’ve watched for a few years, and you used to fill a bunk with HMC and the silo. Are you changing your feeding plan? Lots more silage and less HMC - unless I missed something. Love your videos.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah

On a older ring drive the shalf broke on the ring drive The silo was little more than half full remember crawing out on the unloader

See why you do that task always, have your own merry go round. 😉

[@jakeschisler7525]

The combine is still green!

[@kevinrutt5949]

You better get Sarah a new toy Andy and she dose a great job you better give a raise in pay

[@ryanlesperance7926]

Is there a reason you wait so long to feed the corn? I assume being wetter corn it'll ferment some?

[@Otherrandomguy42]

They feed this in the summer months I think you get less heating than trying to feed high moisture corn out of a bunk in hot weather.

[@GEROW1963]

Andy I would like to have helped you level off that silo but I didn't tell you that I was paralyzed from the waist down 4 years ago I visited that day unloading that last truckload 👍

[@kevingordon7426]

For what corn you do, no need for bigger combine.

[@BNU30C]

Are you guys pretty attached to the straw quality from the walker machine, Andy? We run a couple New Hollands out here in the wild west, lots of other guys still running 9600s for that reason though. The rotaries are definitely harder on it.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah

[@scottkrieger4701]

You need to warr a dust mask at least , both of you.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

How long do you usually wait to start feeding from the silo? What do you use in the ration before you start the silo? I never dealt with HMSC, and the people I know that do used sealed storage, Harvestores or bags. Nobody uses Harvestores around me anymore. Probably a good reason,too.🤔 Great video, and I can almost feel the dust here!👍👍
