Shaving Corn Silage

[@chickenstick2109]

I really like your channel. I've always known that milk comes from cows, but I never realized how much work goes into getting that milk. I have a new appreciation for our dairy farmers. Thanks for showing us behind the scenes.

[@richardvictoria626]

I love how functional your farm is everything seems to be up to date when repairs are needed you guys don't procrastinate

[@ZynTig]

You must’ve never met any farmer then. Every farm is like this, the only thing that’s different is which each one does

[@step2191]

Eric, glad to hear your dad is doing better. Rotator cuff injuries are painful! I work with Linemen at a power company and from all the heavy lifting it takes a toll on their shoulders and backs and that's usually the final surgery they get before retirement. Thanks for showing us what goes on around a real American dairy farm. Your labor doesn't go unnoticed! And to Eric's Dad, Dennis? You've raised a very responsible and smart son! Happy Holidays to you and family and Merry Christmas! oh and last....thanks for the milk too!

[@rearlt]

Thanks for the video. I hate to admit it but I was looking for one from you. It is truly a ministry showing how your humility and work serves God.

[@zuziakonieczka3504]

Always a good Day watching the Dairy farm

[@kimcwhite6509]

I love your videos and respect all of your hard work! Eric, you're such a good son with an awesome work ethic. I'm so glad you're watching to make sure your Dad doesn't over do it. Great family and beautiful farm!

[@jamielancaster5185]

Good news, nice to hear that your Dad is doing well. It is always a relief to know that our parents are okay.

[@laurielee4386]

I had no idea of all the extra work a dairy farmer has. Sure makes me appreciate my glass of milk a whole lot more. Thanks for all your hard work

[@pauljohnson1936]

Praises that your Dad is doing much better. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.

[@DaleB809]

I'm not even a farmer but look forward to your videos. Very informative and relaxing. Thank you

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Great to see 9th generation dairyman back to his normal self. Nice that you are looking out for him so that he does not over do it.The shaver sure does a neat job. Thanks for your usually great and informative videos.

[@larsolesen4318]

Hej good too see have you americans dairyfarmer are doing great videos you make , i work on a cropfarm in Minnesota in 1992 it has benn one off my best time in life i never Will forget, kepp op the good work, hope you Can read my english . Lars Olesen denmark .

[@swager1408]

Congratulations on being in the top 25 in the progressive dairy magazine! I enjoy your videos and thank you for doing them.

[@steveadams99708]

Another enjoyable video. I like the way you look after your Dad Eric. Nice to know he is healing well. Thank you for the video even though you didn't plan on filming - I'm glad you did.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

I'm glad your Dad caught his shoulder injury it in time to be repaired. Because of other serious injuries I had a badly torn rotator cuff that was ignored, only during physical therapy several months layer was it discovered, by that time main cuff mussels had rolled up and atrophied, surgeon tried but was too gone. I'm saying this to anyone out there that has a shoulder injury, no matter how slight immediately have it checked out, it will not heal on it's own.

[@jettron1]

Well I wasn't planning on getting to watch another "10th Generation Dairyman" video but I'm glad it happened. Eric, never think what you do is ever mundane or boring to us.

[@robynmorris2408]

Great video Eric. The “inner” workings of the silos and feeding equipment is very interesting. The shaver certainly does a much better job and faster than having to use the bucket. Thanks for another educational and fun video. So good to hear that Dennis is getting back to “normal” and that you are watching out for him. Sweeping is not a easy job when you have a bad “wing”. Take care and God Bless.

[@basecom70]

It's nice seeing someone caring about their parents. I know that your everyday life may seem boring to you but it is very interesting to us non-farmers. Thanks for sharing. Say hi to your parents from us.

[@fowlcamm]

It is so good to see your Dad making such a swift recovery, and although it takes some of the pressure off of you,it is good to see that you are still looking out for him,and how you take away some of his chores. Love and respect for that.

[@emmaleamcelhinney8650]

I’m still so amazed and grateful that your father has had a speedy recovery! Great video Eric!

[@kenlynch6332]

Thanks for deciding to film today ... greatly appreciate your efforts in proving good content with excellent narrative 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄

[@wadehicks9270]

I’ve seen a lot of folks needing rotator cuff surgery. 2 in my own family. Love your videos God Bless y’all.

[@Its_Me0000]

Thankful to hear your dad is getting back to normal. I know it is a long recovery to get back to 100%. Thank you for filming today. It was fun to watch again. It's interesting to see how the cows line up shoulder to shoulder at the feed trough.

[@TheGilbert48197]

Glad to see your day, helping out and seeing you keeping your eyes in him and thank you for showing your day, I in joy seeing your day and you fixing your equipment, and thank you for you do your day to see, and my God keep both you safe

[@billpotmesil]

Thanks for the details on feeding the heifers! Enjoyed how the mixer and conveyor work.

[@kenrichardson4144]

Glad to hear that your dad is doing better! Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍

[@barbarastedillie1336]

So glad your dad’s doing well and that your being protective of him. I’ve had a failed rotator cuff repair and it’s not fun...

[@bonniehollingsworth1996]

I had a successful rotator cuff repair, but for the first year it still hurt a lot. After the pain finally resolved I wondered why I’d waited so long to get it fixed.

[@martydarling8021]

Thanks for explaining why you use the shaver on the silage. I haven’t seen other farm KZbinrs use it

[@shilohmilo1378]

Glad you changed your mind and decided to video your the best of all the farm videos

[@icebabysnocain]

As he disappears into the man cave. The shaver leaves a better looking job too once you're used to seeing it that way. Its getting colder and windy here in Ontario too. Even if you didn't plan to video it I enjoy that you did. Thankyou 10th GD. Peace.

[@nathankann6056]

This is a video I have wanted to see for awhile.. it’s neat to see how that all works together. It’s a nice simple setup. And gets the job done.

[@1striperon]

It is easy to see why you like the silage shaver. Looks like you have a lot of heifers, there isn’t a spot left at the feed bunk. Thanks for sharing.

[@jackhenry7594]

I’m still amazed at all of the silos and heifer feeding equipment

[@step2191]

Driving by big farms you'd never know they had all those conveyers and hatches! I am amazed too!

[@jackhenry7594]

I know. If you drove by my family farm you could just tell there’d be nothing special

[@jceades1950]

Always enjoy seeing your videos Eric, no matter what you are doing. Keep them coming.

[@amyhenthorn5885]

Any extra videos you do are always welcome. Amazing job

[@zombygrrrl9369]

First off, thank you for the merch! I got a hoodie and wear it all the time, the comments I get are fun😁. Secondly, how satisfying was it to watch him shave the silage down? Man...didn’t know that I needed that today 😝. And lastly, these are the videos I like, just “pulling out the camera and filming”. Keep up the awesome job, stay warm and happy holidays!

[@jimpolk]

Good to see you & your Dad working together. God bless ya.

[@kaynenhoeck8836]

You should do a office update please I watch your videos every time you upload. my uncle actually has a beef cattle farm he has 600 head of cattle your like my mentor I love your videos keep up the good work and content.👨‍🌾🐄🐮

Always great and informative, thanks for being a farmer eric

[@robertnelson8479]

You have a very efficient operation. Nice job!

[@neillouise7533]

Videos are informative. We all enjoy watching them. But you're the reason we watch. You paint a fence, we would watch the paint dry. As long as you are talking to us.

[@calitrainman]

I like how your dad seems to be warming up to being on video

[@bobdevine4906]

Thanks Eric! Glad your Dad is doing well.

[@samsngdevice5103]

I always feel like watching these videos on Sunday is better than going to church

[@jesusisGod1434]

Super interesting! I’m all spun around! But if I was there I’d probably understand it better. Thank you for the upload. Will there be a video on your office being finished? 👍🏼✝️❤️

[@geneinpennsylvania]

Eric explains things so well for us non farmers Ex:shaving the sillage He’s so smart Don’t you think he’d qualify for a 4 year degree in dairy farming ?

[@jbbrown7907]

I didn't have the shaver at the dairy I fed off a bunk. I used the bucket. You are better at maintaining a tight wall than I was. I dreamed of something like the shaver. I'm not sure it was available back then. You were not born yet.

[@keenancrowl6318]

I'm still trying to figure out who dislikes these videos like this dude works harder than 95% of anyone I can think of.

[@joelee662]

ERIC YOU MADE MY DAY 👍 LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS KEEP THEM COMING NO MATTER WHEN THANK YOU 👍👍🇺🇸.. P. S I HOPE YOUR DAD GETS BETTER 🚜🐄

[@ser3589]

Thank you for explaining why using the shaver is better. Makes sense now.

[@mickoostingh5777]

and another reason why you would shave the silage is because it looks nice

Great Video Eric. Dairy is a lot of hard work. Not fun if you do not enjoy.

Rotator cuff surgery. Did top RH in . With age, told not to bother, said it would rupture again after sling removed. The near attachments did take up most of the load, but not perfectly. At 78, what is expected?.

[@cobjay1712]

Would be so cool too see all the old barns and feeders when they were brand new

[@mattrydalch3085]

Glad to see your dad up and about!

That last shot of chopping was a awesome shot , back when you filled the bunks 👍

Hey I m Jannik from Germany. I watch your videos and, I say I love it. I have on my German farm 100 milk cows 🐄 I will work on a American 🇺🇸 milk, beef, or corn🌽 farm 😃

The old barn? Eric, can you tour that and give us a bit more detail of its history, usage, and why it feels abandoned please? 👍🙂

Good to see your Dad back in the mix!

Always something new! Or, is it because of my getting older and forgetfulness! :-) Glad your dad is getting better, easy into it carefully!

[@zephlajoie4404]

When you shaved the bunks it was so satisfying!!!!

[@Midwesternrailroader]

Has your family ever milked at the heifer farm? My youngest brother-in-law is the 3rd generation farming at there home farm. I find it interesting how farming has changed over the years. They still have there stanchion barn that his grandparents started with, then his dad built a 12 stall parlor and about 3 years ago they built a parlor similar to your. Stay healthy and happy holidays.

[@annswigart7238]

Merry Christmas and happy new year I enjoy watching

[@randallmyers]

thanks for the explanation about the shaving, really cleared it up for me

[@benmillward7765]

On UK farms the usual method seems to be to use a muck grab whick leaves a fairly smooth face. But alot of silage in UK is grass silage. Would a muck grab work on maize silage or is it too friable (crumbly)?

[@judyengland2615]

Well thanks for the video. Always nice to see your farm

[@williamdawson3353]

Glad you did film. What happens when you lose power? Back up generators? Might be a byline for a video.

[@mscarf22]

Love your channel! What hat and what Carhartt coat are you wearing?

[@DylanJones5168]

You are my favorite KZbinr

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!

[@kubotaoz6108]

That drill on the curtain seems to work well for you. It would take a lot of hand cranks to keep up with that drill. How many cows do you have in total and how many acres is all your farms combined. My uncle’s and aunts milked also. Take care , work safe😃

[@glenn_massie3039]

Who are these people disliking his videos? I mean seriously!
