Spring Vertical Tillage

[@oxfordmontello3281]

Hey Ash, nice to see you again. Good to see all is well.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Nice to see you back, things seem to be going fine since you didn’t mention any major problems. Feed in, milk and poo out. Rinse and repeat.😊

[@jodymercer7122]

Ashlyn , I can tell how well you were raised coming up through the years you are a very genuine and respectful adult and passionate about your job responsibilities 👍.

[@xavier_j_lamour]

As a close friend of his, I know that he will enjoy hearing (reading) that. As well as will, his father.

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

Thank you very much

[@ProudPapaw88]

Welcome back, Tony and Ashlyn. Great video. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!!

[@xavier_j_lamour]

Ashlyn son, outstanding video. The wear on those VT discs looks about the same wear as before when y'all showed it before. You TC my son again keep up with the great work.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

😂😂 Tony’s blurp “This is going to tear my…” I could imagine what words may have been said. I laughed out out. Nice to see another video Ashlyn! Yet again, another good one. Those tractors put in “the work”, so don’t be so bummed when they need serviced. That “Washington Boro sunset” @ the 7:10 mark was spectacular!Only the locals can get that feeling. Thank you.

Ashlyn thanks for taking the time to make these videos

[@randybennett5417]

Maybe an equipment tour would be interesting and there uses.

[@xavier_j_lamour]

He has already done one. A while back.. i believe it was 2 years ago, plus nothing has changed since then. Except they exchanged their 8 foot manure pump to a 10 foot cause of the deeper manure pit under their newer free stall barn.

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

Might make an updated equipment tour in the future.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Great video! What did the used blades weigh?

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

I guessed right in the video, and never said anything lol. 380lbs

Hey Ashlyn great to see and hear from you guys again. Just a quick question I have been seeing in the news that around 9 States have so far had dairy herds infected with bird flu have you guys or any dairy farms in your state had a case of it yet? I pray that you guys can avoid it 🙏

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

I've heard about the avin flu. I do not know any farms that have it yet, and I'm hoping it stays that way. Thanks for the prayers

What do you feel was the reason for reduced tonnage on the rye this year? If you're only doing vertical tillage on corn ground how do you combat the compaction caused by those heavy, heavy silage trucks twice a year?

[@The_Pennsylvania_Farmer-wo6cl]

Irregardls to the heavy trucks, they use big floater tires. Plus, the trucks don't sit still. Also, the ry fields are the same fields that are used for corn, which the planter helps to lose the soil up.also. the lack of tonnage could be several different factors like weather, the amount of land this time around since their expansion.

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

Very good question. The Pennsylvania Farmer answered it pretty well. The lack of tonnage was weather related. Could we use more ground?... I'd say yes, but good weather is a huge factor. As far as compaction, our ground is very forgiving. Also yes we run floater tires on our dumptrucks. Running the Salford in the spring and the grain drill in the fall breaks the ground apart. We will run the Salford in the fall if the ground is too hard and won't soak in the manure.

[@r.scotthill3082]

@@rohrerdairyproductions4080 None of those practices go deep enough to relieve compaction that is deeper than say 8 inches and those trucks are causing compaction no matter what type of tires they are running.

[@edwardanderton5836]

Why can't you just drill your maize directly into the ground once you have applied all your effluent etc? What does using the Salford achieve, or perhaps what benefit does it provide above a true no till system. Greetings from a Kiwi dairy farmer 🇳🇿

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Different things are in play. Compaction is 1, tilling in the 💩 is another, and warming the ground. Everyone has to do to suit their soil and needs.

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

Morgan answered the question the way I would have. Good question

😆😆😆😆😆

[@icebabysnocain]

Maybe a mask when you're washing the poopers. One little wrong splash and /?***%@@. Good video. Pax.

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

It's inevitable lol

[@jeremy1350]

Hey Ashlyn. I was asking Eric if he could see your farm from the top of their new 120 foot Silos, the third one just got its roof recently. I'm sure it is a little far, at 45 min away !! But it was a fun thought. Well, if you are going to spread POOP you are eventually going to smell like POOP, right Ashlyn !! Someone needs to pressure wash you, before you set foot in the house, me thinks.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@jeremy1350 Just stop.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Smells like $, so he is good to go in the house.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@@MorganOtt-ne1qjNot all about that.

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

Those are some tall silos. Yeah it becomes very messy
