It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Corn Silage Season

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Corn Silage Season
As the corn in Ohio is maturing the forage harvesters will soon be hitting the fields to chop corn silage. I have a few corn silage videos I shot last summer/fall that I never got edited and here is one of those videos.
In this video I am out with a custom chopping crew from Indiana as they chop corn silage for a beef cattle farm near Eaton Ohio. In the video Is a good mix of several different machines working together to bring in the harvest.

My 5yo is excited to see another forage harvester video!

[@AgricultureTechUS]

Corn Silage Season Great

[@SimonKL11]

Corn chopping time is great😁👍 it's always nice to see a chopper running and to smell fresh corn silage👍👍

[@thesicklemodernagriculture]

It's amazing how quickly this machine harvests

[@Burnsidef250]

You should come out to Morris MN to Riverview Dairy! We're planning on starting silage the week of Aug 21, using Claas 990s, dump carts with tracks, and trucks, with dozer 4WDs packing close to 100k tons into each pile

[@myronparks3495]

Approximately how many acres do you chop?

[@Burnsidef250]

@@myronparks3495 I think each chopper does around 3000.

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍🚜🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽

[@davidcutrumbes2148]

I miss when we had our dairy cows, nothing beats the smell and sound of chopping corn.

[@AkbarMoncongloe]

Amazing video 👍

[@ScottPykare]

Thanks Mike. Great video and drone footage 👌🏻.

[@joelg8004]

Love these chopping videos. So satisfying to watch!

Dad Ran a custom chopping business out in Eastern Washington in the mid 70's and early 80's. He did alfalfa and corn chopping both and put up between 200 and 300,000 tons per year. I always enjoyed running one of the choppers and eventually bought my own truck and ran a 66 Chevrolet 10 wheeler to haul with.

[@2chipped]

Having run an R model Mack pulling 26ft frame dump for silage in Ga, and running a 1200 bushel graincart in Colorado. The harvester is king,you are just there to serve as wait staff. Like in any job with equipment, there are drivers. And there are operators who know exactly how to dance, when to change partners...and can hear a bearing going out.

[@jackthewisedog5171]

Love your videos mike keep them coming - great content

[@crypticdew9064]

Nice thanks

[@DonWelter]

Sure makes for good progress with solid ground conditions.

[@chrisgossman6512]

I said it before " I always cringe when silage blows past the cart." Once you said you plan it for the comments. It's just that the farmers do all the prep work on the ground before planting, prepping the planter, applying chemicals, fertilizer applications and time the plants take to grow, just to have the product blow to the ground. That is why I cringe. Even for 1 plant. Happy subscriber 😊!

Great video Mike!

[@tgunnsgaming]

Love these videos.

[@timfisk2779]

Great video as always. Corn looks a little better than northwestern Il. They are talking about starting picking seed corn in our area in next couple weeks.

[@nicloewenhagen5557]

Thanks for the video and all that you do to make it do you even make it to the driftless region of Wisconsin it would be fun to see the difference between flat ground and hanging on by your toenails ground but really thank you Mike

[@andywintz959]

Mike I’m excited about seeing silage and harvest videos, have you ever seen anyone harvest sunflowers? I always wondered how they did it.

[@farmhandmike]

I have seen sunflower harvest but have not done a video of it yet

[@geofflee8671]

Always enjoy your silage videos. Maybe it's just the perspective from the drone but it seems like the silage pad is too small to hold all the corn they're going to harvest.

[@lavpreetsingh3908]

Job a sir

[@jamesclark4]

Now i want to watch a Christmas movie 😅

[@Azzyos]

That early

[@matthoman8930]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@bobnistler]

😎😎

[@austinkeatings1947]

Man if the steiger had to stop for the chopper quick that dummy in the Deere would be right in the back of the wagon. Choppers gotta stop when the wagons full anyways just stay back. Been there done that

[@bustymaiden]

At this point thats just the farmhand mike song. Isnt too pitchy or anything to be annoying dont worry ab it. Was already wow'd you got such a good continuous shot transitioning from drone to tripod on the Case tractor in its first appearance.

[@olegsmanuks9034]

Why he leaves lines of corn?

[@jrmagnum]

How many ton do the Penta and Meyer boxes haul?

[@sergiomarin1793]

Wonder how much fuel a chopper like that goes thru in an hour

[@georgegozelski7330]

Love your videos, but that is some pretty poor corn............

[@robothat]

hate to see them purposely spill on the ground
