Chopping Corn on our Small Dairy Farm 2024/Part 3

The Minnesota nights have brought on a killing frost. It's officially time to chop corn! The International 1256 on the New Holland 790 Corn Chopper gets right to work. Our International 1066 is hauling chopper boxes full of silage to the John Deere 4020 running the agbagger. Let's get some cow chow put away for winter!

[@russhfan]

Funny I came to this video. My first job was on a dairy farm where the main tractor was a 1066 Hydro almost new. That tractor just whistled. You're lucky to be farming.

[@nomerc3608]

God Bless your entire family! Thanks for sharing your farming journey with us! 👍🏻🇺🇸🫡

[@tinkersalot]

Chopping corn was always my favorite season on the farm. Extra special in a dry fall with a good tall crop. Glad to see it went well for you and thanks for sharing!

[@hartungdairyfarm0713]

Good feeling to be done chopping 👍. Cows sure seem to do better when they've got ear corn in the diet, looking forward to seeing the uni in action

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

18:20.......I enjoy the sound of the chopped corn getting blown in the sileage wagon.

[@alecward-e3v]

Hi Allen great video good old reliable machines doing a great job no need for any complicated electrics ,looks a great crop of winter feed .All the best from a retired U K farmer Alec.

[@eerojussi1601]

Nice purring.

[@jeffblake6466]

Its a great feeling once you have all the feed put up for the year great watching

[@brucevincent7942]

Sweet harvest time! Sometime I would like for you to show us exactly how the bagger fills and advances the sleeve. Thanx!

[@johnbeam-d3v]

Was always my best time of farming. Harvesting silage. Miss it but do not miss milking. Hate milking. We milked 150 every day and took 4 hours in the morning and 3-1/2 hours in the afternoon.3:30 every morning and 3:30 every afternoon. Then feeding cows, feeding dry cows and feeding calves. All the old folks gone now. So no worries. Thank god those days are gone.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Those NH choppers sing, don't they! Keep the power to them, and they will fill the wagons . Great video!

[@ralphriddle8864]

Nice job and God bless y'all and good luck

Thumbs up for the beef master 😉

[@rc3226]

[@countryboy3201]

[@canvids1]

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Tks for sharing. Justin? Your new little calf look healthy.. congratulations. Wish you many more. Corn silage looks really good. Gald your getting more then you think.. thats a good problem..

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊

[@toddpekarski4014]

It would be great if more children could grow up like your kids . Then have more respect and better work ethics. Farm life is the best.

[@stephenbutz2621]

That was a nice full bag of corn silage ❤

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Thanks for sharing another great video. Beautiful sunset.

[@Castrucksandtractors]

Its nice seeing your videos posting more frequently again love the channel

[@Thewilsonfarm]

Great video as always. Congratulations Justin.

[@ronzezulka6646]

Hey Allen,,,glad to see the chopper is working flawlessly. Gonna get any cob corn with the Uni?

[@ronzezulka6646]

Ok,,question answered,,lol

[@glennschlorf1285]

Cow chow time.... Moooo!

[@richardhoover7569]

In years to come you may want to consider making earlidge or high moisture ground ear corn. Your silo at the barn would work perfect for that.

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah, we've done that in the past.

[@PaulWilcox-n2p]

The corn going in the bag will make milk and put fat on there back 😊

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

How about putting some sideboards on the gravy wagon before you go picking this year. Fewer trips could save a bit in fuel.

[@trinitydairy]

I've thought of that. But I just spent 300.00 on the main drive belt for the picker, so bigger loads might be hard on that belt. I wish I could set it up to fill wagons being pulled alongside.

[@nice-n-generous1649]

you and Jen need to buy another tractor for the bagger

[@cz_ww2117]

Alan, do you have trouble with deer and turkeys making holes in the bags? Wildlife likes an easy meal. Man that brings back memories, chopping corn, best time of the year.

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah, I've had a lot of deer damage.

[@Rodney-sf1mc]

Milk prices have been good lately....Just everything else goes up with it.......

[@charlietanner6211]

approx what does a wagon load of greener silage weigh any idea cant weight till ear corn picking time love that

[@trinitydairy]

I would say 6 to 8 ton.

[@HFarms1955]

👍👍👍

[@joewettstein740]

Will you make cornstalks for bedding since it's nice n dry

[@trinitydairy]

I would like to if the weather holds.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

If things were right, would you consider your 530 to pull wagons? I only say because I spent the day hauling wagons over our hill with our 630 it didn't work out so bad.

[@trinitydairy]

We did when we had smaller wagons, but it's pretty light in the rear-end, so I think it would spin out on the hills.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Never worry too much about being able to pull heavy wagons with a lighter tractor but it's always getting them stopped it becomes a question​@@trinitydairy

[@philjopp7170]

That corn looks awfully dry. Pretty much rapping it up down here 1 hr west of the cities

[@trinitydairy]

It was definitely drying fast.

[@JohnJufer]

Is your 790 chopper 540 PTO or 1000

[@trinitydairy]

540

[@doughorr7260]

Not a criticism just wondering why you don't use the 1066 to chop with the 1256 and 1066 according to the book is about equal in horse power just asking 🤔

[@trinitydairy]

I was thinking about it this year, but the visibility on the 12s cab is a lot better.

[@doughorr7260]

@trinitydairy oh ok I wondered i figured it was something like that there's a lot to keep track of chopping visibility is definitely a priority thanks for responding i appreciate it hope the rest of corn harvest goes well

[@davidmuise388]

Thanks for the lovely video and thank you for sharing take care god bless ❤❤❤
