    I was amazed by how brilliantly the bunker-filling process was choreographed from the the non-stop harvesters to the plastic rolling and tire stackers! Plus I want to applaud you for your wonderful editing, especially how you master the sound so that you don't hurt our ears with sudden spikes in volume from saws and loud equipment. Your channel deserves an award for presentation and content! Bravo!!💗

    Filling all three in one go is setting yourselves a big challenge. Great to see all that winter feed secured. And not forgetting the other people who are doing the milking etc. all this while.

    Eric I have watched every video that you’ve posted to CZcams long time fan of you and your father and I would just like to say I couldn’t be prouder of the job that you and your father do, both you and your father are prime examples of what hard-working decent people can accomplish, while being so beneficial to others as well. Keep up the good work and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

    Wow Eric! You and your family have taken corn silage harvest to a whole new level! Tremendous video footage including detailed audio! Congratulations and job well done. Back in the 80’s when I was dairy farming. Bunker storage was kind of frowned on because there tended to be a lot of spoiled feed. However the way you are using the plastic liners and inoculates. Along with your incredible fast harvesting team. You have really transformed bunker storage into cost a effective feed storage system. Compare your system to vertical storage silos. And I don’t think there is any way that you could have harvested 3,000 tons and blew it into vertical storage in 24 hours. Plenty of good feed now for the girls going into winter. God’s blessings….and now get some sleep😊

    there is so much effort and coordination over such a small period of time!! you guys grew for so long just to bang this work out in a day! incredible how well you guys work and that the people even got a new tire at 3am!!

  • @christianterrill3503
    @christianterrill3503 Před 8 měsíci +5

    The most exciting time of the year on the farm, harvest season!!! Also super impressive the chopping team was able to find a new tire at 3am in the middle of no where, and have it installed in 30 mins or so.... that's pretty freaking cool.

  • @d2ndborn

    @cyn3b Před měsícem +1

    Back in the day when we still had our dairy I remember the bunker getting filled with chopped corn and that unique smell as the D-8 Cat pushed and packed the silage down making sure it would be ready for winter. Then when the snow was flying the cows were so happy to get that steaming hot silage to warm them. Thanks for the memories. It makes me want to milk a cow. LOL.

  • @jeremy1350
    @jeremy1350 Před 8 měsíci +8

    Hi Eric. it is interesting to watch different farm operations. Your bunk solutions are very different from the other farms I watch over in the UK. And your solutions seem a lot better thought out and efficient and useful to protect the silage in the bunk. I think your model could be duplicated on other farms to better their operations.

  • @markemarkpsv1
    @markemarkpsv1 Před 8 měsíci +3

    Talk about hard working 24 hour crews it was like a machine. Thank goodness there was no rain and everything worked perfectly. Changing and odd tire in the middle of the night. I knew they could do it. All done until next year. Thanks Eric and family plus the harvesting crews. Amazing work.

  • @tinadiggingindirtweinstein5648

    Thank you for posting this process. I live in a rural area with dairy cattle and have always wondered about silage. There is a lot of corn grown in my area and I see the harvesters working in various fields, collecting crops. I am pretty familiar with hay production,but you have shown me another product. Thanks for your hard work and efficiency!

    When I was a kid growing up in Northern Indiana we did almost all of our harvesting around the clock, but we used the night most. 6pm to 8am was go time. It avoided working in the heat of the day and traffic. Plus there's a vibe about working in darkness by the flood lights of the machines. Made it not seem like work as much without the blazing heat.

    Hi Eric! Make sure you get those panels cleaned to get the most kWh out of them! I'm about to go into my masters (4th and final) year of Renewable Energy Engineering at university so I'm very happy to see you get them installed. I was thinking of messaging you a year or two ago to offer to do a mock solar design for your buildings - glad to see you came up with the idea too. Would like to have the solar PV topic come up more in future videos. All the best.

    @davidepool5884 Před 8 měsíci +1

    When we were in the dairy business in the 60s and 70s we had a two row corn chopper and two carts. Some of our fields were several miles away and one person did the cutting and hauling to a fifty foot upright silo. It would probably take us a month to chop that much silage and put it away. We used to store our silage in an in ground pit that didn’t have concrete sides. We had one cow that would stand at the base of our upright silo and lick the juices oozing out and she would basically get drunk.

    I drove by the fields near me and they are just starting to chop silage. They have to haul back to their farm on the roads so they use trucks and trailers. There is one of those choppers in town and I pulled up next to it in my car at the stop light and that's when I got a sense of the scale of the machine.
