Direct cut barley

Chopping barley to feed our heifers. This is the first time we have grown barley for feed. We wait until the barley starts to dry down and then run the chopper through it with a mower head on it #dairycows #farming #johndeere

Trying out our neighbors new liquid manure spreader with a fully aluminum tank. We were happy with the coverage we got and it seems to be lighter than a steel one #farming #johndeere #cows #dairy

Chopping 1st cutting alfalfa
zhlédnutí 3KPřed měsícem
We caught a window of nice weather and made some really good haylage for the cows. With the rain we have been getting there was an abundant crop and 2nd cutting should yield pretty good as well in a month from now We put this feed in a 20 x 70 Harvestore silo for storage #farming #johndeere #dairy
Tedding hay for faster/more even drying
zhlédnutí 852Před měsícem
Ripping apart some Alfalfa/wheat mix. The more spread out we can get the hay the quicker it will dry as well as dry more evenly. The plan is to chop it for the cows #johndeere #farming #dairy
Mixing feed for our dairy cows
zhlédnutí 3KPřed měsícem
This is how we make the total mixed ration (TMR) that we feed to our cows We're milking about 80 currently and we make 3 batches of feed a day for them #farming #dairy #dairycows

This piece of equipment helps to break up some field compaction as well as level off any rough spots. It also helps to work in any manure that we spread on top. The last step we do before we are ready to plant! #farming #johndeere
Injecting manure into the soil

Injecting manure into the soil as oppsoed to just spreding on top helps to boost the nutrient value and prevent runoff! #farming

great looking cows
Thank you!
Miss the sound
I think that the first Deere I've seen running a krone ez-collect corn head.from experience those heads seem to have difficulty harvesting corn with moisture on the leaves like in early morning with heavy dew or in misty rain conditions. Great video as usual .
great video and cool machinery!Did you replace the 7630 with the 6250R?
We replaced it with a 6210R The 6250 is hired in
@@zimhavendairyfarm1953 ahh ok, thank you!
interesting comine...is that a T550 combine? how did you get it?
Looks like a beef cow/not a Holstein to me!!!
Is the merger tough on the alfalfa leaves?
Well, it is better than most rakes. And doesn't pick up as many rocks either
Pretty impressive machine!
Merging is faster than raking. How many horsepower tractor does it take to run a merger ?
This one is putting out over 200.
I’ve only been to Lancaster once. Seemed like everyone was arrogant
Yes that's true, people call it NJ attitude moving east . The Amish have turned into the worst people on earth
With the direct cut this year we chose to drive beside when opening up... Can't decide which one's better... You drive some flat but then you don't spill since it don't blow as nice as corn silage.
That direct cut head sure looks pretty handy!
Man the tires on that single axle trailer were screaming. lol, just another day on the farm
Awesome!! I just saw a crew outside Ephrata today getting ready to direct cut barley with a Claas 860 chopper. 👍🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸😔
Awesome video it would be nice if that 4640 had a straight pipe on it with the blower
We have one for it. Maybe I'll switch it out and put up a video with it on sometime
I love your guys videos keep up the good work. Love From Above NW PA
Nice John Deeres. Finishing up at sundown. Long day!
I noticed left tire nearly flat and both tires had issues rolling at some point. The job got done is all that matters.
La maquina perfecta para hacer bolos de heno, el apilador de fardos no sabe lo que hace.... Es la forma más rápida de tirarlos al suelo..😅😂😂😂😂😅😂
Nice setup
Man this looks good
Great video
Awesome looking manure spreader
Might want to secure your load before driving on public roads.
Are those homemade forage wagons? I’ve never seen one of those before, nice video.
Great video! I spent many hours riding on tractor while raking hay, then helping unload hay wagons. Nothing better smelling than freshly baled hay. Keep up the great work and cherish the memories, life goes by so fast! . Going back to see dairy farm I spent many summers at is on my bucket list.
You got that right! Thanks!
You must have the same Akaso camera that I do, because i assume the date isn't right in the corner, On my CZcams channel sometimes I blur that out.
Yeah I do have one. I've only used it to make that 1 video so far. I wasn't super impressed with it. I've just used a cell phone to make all my other ones
Do you own the 4320 or was it hired out
It's hired out
Do you guys have a larger rake?
We make only a few acres of dry hay a year. We have a wheel rake that we use for corn fodder and we get our alfalfa and rye merged by a custom operator.
@@zimhavendairyfarm1953 I guess that makes sense, great video btw!
First time seeing forage cart like that.
Just wondering. Do get the Lancaster Farms news paper every week?
Yes we do
@zimhavendairyfarm1953 we also
i just subbed love the videos
Nice high neck rail on farm #4
Looks like a nice and thick crop!! Hope it yields well for you guys!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice and clean feed room!!! Must be nice not having to worry about the bad weather!!!
It sure is! Thank you!
Awesome set up to mix your feed
Great video
Thanks!
Great video, nice set up for mixing, a lot more complex than my grandfather's scoop of feed, silage and hay. Keep up the great work and look forward to your next video.
Nice setup and good explanation.
Nice to see a clean barn. I milked cows in a tie barn and I was a neat freak s I really appreciate a clean barn. Hats off to you not many people want to work 7 days a week, and its too bad that the people in the cities have no idea what it take to ship milk today. Great barn and that is the first time I have seen a pipeline behind the cows.. You have a great looking cows and it looks like they are milking really well!!👍
Thank you! We like to keep things nice. Its more enjoyable to work that way!
Real nice set up, and barn 😊
Thank you!
One day i’ll get a real job too
Sometimes I think about our grandfathers, great grandfathers when I see todays equipment. My Grandpa use to pitch manure onto a sled in the winter and then take the horses to the field and pitch it off as they drove. Now we have custom guys that can spread 300 tons in 6 hours or plant corn with a 12 row planter or chop 40 acres of silage a day. I’d like to visit Pennsylvania sometime. Looks like a nice dairy area , like here in Oxford county Ontario 😃
Nuhn industries is 20 minutes from here. They’ve made a lot of spreaders. Guys like them a lot around here
I’m 45 this summer. Been a dairy farmer all me life here in Ontario I don’t think I e ever seen a pipeline and vacuum line behind the cows. That’s interesting that you milk them like a parallel parlour. Looks good.
Thank you! Its a pretty new idea but I think its going to become pretty popular. We really like it!
Love seeing this again, this is how it should be!
Cool tractortruck did you guys build this on the farm or someone build for you is there plans for more as would be cool video series to watch be put togeter looks sharp
Thanks! We didn't build them ourselves. They were made by the guys that do our chopping. There is 3 of them total. I'll post more videos of them later this summer
You like the pipeline behind the cows better than a normal one?
There are pros and cons. We moved ours about a year and a half ago. I wouldn't go back
Beautiful barn but as an old retired dairy farmer, how do you handle a fresh heifer when milking from the rear as you are?
Thank you! Its actually not too bad. They learn pretty quick and can't get the milker off as easily. If one is extra jumpy we can put the milker on from the side yet instead of standing directly behind them
Clean cows 👌Thanks (Digger)
