  • Video of a John Deere 7750 self propelled forage harvest with a Deere 612C corn head chopping ear corn (earlobe, snaplage, high moisture corn for silage for cattle feed. Also in the video is a John Deere 9230 tractor with a Leon blade pushing and packing the earlobe back at the farm with a Deere 8320R tractor also packing the pile.

    Don't think I've ever seen a twelve row head on a chopper before but it makes sense ,not near as much material going through as with whole plant silage !! When you consider the size of that pile it must take a lot of acres to build that !!! Thanks for the different process video !

      We run a 12 row head with our claas 970 getting the whole stalk and everything.

    Mike the shot you got walking beside the corn head from 9:44 to 10:02 and seeing the corn stalks being pulled down like they were disappearing into the ground was just awesome!!!! I had to watch it multiple times!!

    Those guys are getting it done! I’ve always thought that the blade tractor operator requires a lot of skill. I don’t think its as easy as it looks.

    We usta do the same basic thing. We’d set up in the corn crib runway with a burr mill and grind up the ear corn and whatever shucks that may be on it and put it in the self feeder for the steers. We ran hogs in with the steers to recoup any whole kernels and the system worked great!

    Nice video. But Mike - tell me the difference between "normal" corn silage and ear corn silage. Is it the chopping of only the corncob rather than the whole plant? If it is the thing we call this in german "Lieschkolbensilage". Thanks for your response. Alex

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  Před 4 lety +1

      Corn silage is the entire plant of corn shopped up and here they are only getting the ear which would be chopping up pretty much just the cob, grain and husk and a few leaves that would make it through.

    Seams like such a waste of plant material, for higher protein we just add straights to our chop ie. Barley, peas, screenings and minerals. But then again I'm only feeding calving cows not dairy.

      I don't get it....was this corn that was intended for picking, yet won't ever dry enough so now they're just chopping the ears as low moisture sileage/high moisture ears?

      @rogerburkholder7524 Před 4 lety +2

      @@jameskelley8839 Since they are feeding beef , they probably start with corn silage and as they get closer to fishing they increase the amount of earlage. They probably end up with straight earlage.

      @harrythehermit3685 Před 4 lety +2

      @@jameskelley8839 It's about nutrient value of feed and percent of protein. A budding future weightlifter would not meet their goal by eating a steady diet of celery (corn stalks). He would require a higher percentage of protein such as maybe chicken (earlage). A lot of beef and dairy farmers are going this route. It also represents a significant saving in labor, equipment, storage, etc. A much bigger bang for the buck. Stalks rarely make the feed value required for wintering beef/dairy, so why waste the time and energy to store it, imo. Hope that helps.
