This One Was Terrible... Barley DAY 2

[@alexturner8104]

I dont think the Fendt would have helped there. It just would have sheared bolts faster. We've all had to deal with stuff like that. You just have to suck up your pride and lower down a gear. I am really impressed with the " lunch wagon". We live among a lot of Mennonite farmers and its always great when we help them during harvest. At noon, everything stops and you have an actual family style meal in the field under the closet trees. Its those kind of traditions that I hope will endure forever. Thanks for another great video.

[@rdyardie]

Thank you for explaining the inoculant to help with fermentation. Sausage and pierogis were a staple part of our daughter's food when she attended university in Edmonton. She still loves pierogis. Feeding the help is likely really appreciated. It sure beats sandwiches. 😊

[@sunroofracing]

Another great video Jan! Great work from every one involved with your farming operations. Cheers to Mom for the food. Sweet hearing you talk about the success of the crop - including too heavy a swath.

[@anthonyfunderburg2436]

Jan, I don't know if you intentionally have cut the videos down to 10 to 12 mins but, I'm kind of digging them! It's nice to see something from you every couple of days now! Keep up the great work!

[@allenols3175]

I prefer 3 longer videos per week but we do have Neileen and dotp.

[@Lukelins1]

Shorter videos, more often will bring more likes with same footage, more money

Love seeing the lunch clips added in! Feeding your people well really does make everything run better!! 😀

It’s awesome to see farmers getting a lot of feed for the cattle and not run out. Keep up the good work like watching your video’s .

Thanks for all the extra time & work you do to share your awesome dairy farm life Jan! Much love from Tennessee!!!

[@edmo43]

Thanks Jan for sharing the very interesting new Vlog and explaining what the inoculant is and what it is for. It serves as additives to the silage process to improve the quality of the product by accelerating fermentation.👍🤟

[@icebabysnocain]

Men in shorts and looking fine. That chopper is a bear, so it must take heavy grass to plug it. Maybe an extra day to dry will make it easier to chop. You guys are having some strange weather. You are right to use the gator aid . I hope the weather holds so you get the field done. Good video. Pax.

[@dwayneb72]

Pierogi's and kielbasa ..that's a good Canadian lunch eh

[@stephenkeller6894]

When we’ve had the problem of too thick of a windrow we pick the head of the chopper up and leave the bottom part of the windrow behind and come back a second time. Works good and beats slugging the chopper up constantly

[@oldladyfarmer7211]

I miss farming so much. I got a great start when I was a kid working with my Dad who taught me everything I needed to know. You're so lucky to have your Dad as a great teacher. You've really learned a lot and I thank you for sharing it with all of us.

[@cindifischer6919]

Agree, passing on the knowledge. The boss he calls him.

[@michaelcanales3683]

👍 Great video. My grandpa made silage out of hay grazer for his dairy cows. Had a huge pit dug into the ground. My cousin's andi would play in the silage when the pit was uncovered. Prob not the best thing to do in retrospect. You and your family's hard work is admirable.

[@brianfletcher7942]

Noticed in the first day’s video that Neline was cutting only about a 75% wide swath to help prevent plugs. A blessing to have such a bountiful harvest.

[@ericteneyck8691]

Interesting info about the inoculant. Just a tip, if you put the powder in the bucket and THEN add the water it mixes faster and easier.

[@puirYorick]

Pierogi, sausages and some fried onions make a great lunch any day! Your Mom is spoiling you indeed.

[@ryokokirchhoff782]

Thank's again for letting us watch hervasting continually and part of the fast forward video was really cool like dancing with two trucks but when I saw the title I was like "Oh Nooo!!!" but seems all turned out alright...oh loved your lunch your mom must be a great cook!!! Lol!!! :))

It would be very nice if your mother could make some videos of her own and show what dishes she cooks for lunch 😁

[@heatherweir8726]

Would that be kitchen on the prairie.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Ha! I have pirogies and sausage every Sunday for breakfast. Now we know why the swather is no longer taking a full cut. That is a good problem to have when you are trying to fill a bunker.

[@homey3051]

Hello Jan, these are exhausting days, but they are still fun. I wish you a few hours of restful sleep.👍👍👍

👍 to having a picnic in the middle of the field.

[@johnlong3214]

It's nice when them trucks just keep coming, 👍

[@handiman5001]

to bad about the damp swaths and the thick crop round the potholes and along side the windbreaks but I think your sister found a solution by using only 3/4 of the swather pickup where the crop is thicker, good luck tomorrow and the rest of the silaging prossess

[@simplegreen6596]

Jan, i do a lot of home brewing and fermentation with bacteria's. Is it possible to propagate your own bacteria from the first powered packet? I do literally the exact same thing with dry yeasts in brewing. It may save a few hundred bucks per day by doubling your bacteria with simple sugar and water mixes to get the yeast to replicate.....

[@brianfletcher7942]

That would be a great plan!

[@erwinlageschaar5550]

The inoculant we are using is costing about a dollar per ton, speedy fermentation is the secret to making good silage!

[@henkheemskerk4437]

@@erwinlageschaar5550 if you harvested 1000 tones then it becomes a lot of money

[@robertburt9071]

Nice to see lots more volume of feed this year Nice feeling Hard wait wait until the next one

[@Digeroo123]

It is impressive how little down time you need between loads. I have not seen silage cutting live, but have seen wheat, but the combines can hold some grain, so the harvester keeps moving at change over. Interesting the inoculant. What is in there? So much work producing the feed for the ladies. The weather can be so fickle. We have only had a few drops of rain in two months.

[@leomcavoy5770]

🇺🇸/🇨🇦 That'll teach you for getting greedy 🤣. BTW I'm only 2,000 +/- miles away what time does the field lunch take place? If a hungry stranger stumbled in would your Mom have an extra biscuit?!?!! 🤣 God bless and happy harvest 🙏

[@billjoat]

Nice video!! Really enjoy seeing things a little way back and you make it look easy with the right trucks and distance for the job. And the extremely LONG rows!! WOW!! Good job.

[@michaelc.3812]

Jan, I have shear bolts on my snowblower, and it’s very handy that the manufacturer has added several spots for spare bolts. I would think this machine has that too, but if not, I’d add my own.

[@rondalees]

[@andreakeeling9217]

Loved those time-lapses!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gerryspang5917]

Hey Jan maybe you should slow down a little to let the chopper process the barley, from the past years of watching your videos you like power and speed, slowing the tractor down a gear saves a lot of plugging the chopper which in the end probably is just as fast as well as easier on the machinery. We all seem to slow down as we get older but we still get the job done. As a mechanic if I broke something I always had to fix it so I tend to be easier on the equipment. Happy that you have a good crop and are getting a lot of feed for the animals. Keep up the great videos, I enjoy them. Cheers.

[@ethanringelberg9771]

That’s a good point no point pushing things to the breaking point especially if the trucks can’t keep up anyway Edit I see the trucks are keeping up better today then yesterday!

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

Most younger guys gotta push things to the limit. As I got older I learned it's a lot easier on equipment and yourself to just slow down. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

[@puirYorick]

In my best Ah-nuld voice: Get to da chopper, you little bacteria! 🤣🤣

[@donalddalrymple414]

Would you ever invest in a self-propelled forager Especially for your big crops

[@timothymbonham4453]

Seems like a poor investment. Another expensive, complicated machine to store & maintain, when it's only needed a few days per year. Currently, they use an already-owned chopper that is simple & sturdy, pulled with one of the tractors they already own, and which are used for many jobs around the farm. I'd think there would be lots better investments for them.

[@calebrozeboom]

It would make sense if they had enough trucks, but a bigger chopper is useless if it spends half of its time waiting
