back in my day I'd have to wake up at 2am then harvest 50 acres of corn by hand before school (5 mile walk up a mountain in scorching hot temps), then when I got back home I'd have to feed 15 hogs and milk 100 cows. this young whippersnapper with his fancy equipment trying to take the easy way out - he don't know a hard days work!
It’s great to see your Dad, he seems to be healing well. Don’t let him over do things and re-injure his shoulder/arm. All of you stay safe and keep well! Thank you Eric for all the extra work you put into this channel.
Thank you for showing part of your long day, and it was so good to see your dad out there to help where he could, and your doing a great job while your dad gets better
Cup of hot coffee in the morning and watching a new 10th Generation Dairyman video. Doesn’t get much better as a start to the day. Thanks for uploading Eric!
I’ve a friend who’s 16 and at last wheat harvest... he made everything without his father... his father was playing tennis or grinding the potatoes... imagine how proud his father is
My brother was doing the same I was in school and he stayed home to work, bring in the harvest and dad had to do another job at that time. He is the best big brother ❤️
I've been filling bunk silo's for over 30 years and have never thought of using bales to hold the sheet down before filling ! Thanks for the tip Eric 🇬🇧
Look forward to the tour! lol I like these harvest videos. The synchronization of the chopper and the truck they're filling up just fascinates me. Then the way people work together to fill and cover the bunks. It's just something else. Great teamwork!
Excellent video as always. As a midwest suburbanite, I always learn new things from watching your vids. Bless you and all the farmers, dairy and otherwise.
Always happy when I see a notification of a video from Eric. That roller seems to do a pretty good job of packing down the silage. Hope the weather holds out and you have a plentiful harvest. Thanks for the super video. Your Dad in the videos is always a good thing. Hope his shoulder is healing well. Office is looking pretty good. Good night.
Whenever I can I’m watching your videos, we have a small dairy farm here in Brazil, congratulations on the work you do and the organization of the farm!
As a city boy, I've found myself addicted to your videos! I'm a roofer, so I know an honest days work as well! Keep up the hard work and videos!!! Thanks!!! 💯
Im from the West Texas cotton country and seeing all of this is just incredibly fascinating to me, especially knowing we have a few dairy farms about 30 to 45 miles north of us
I can praise you dairy farmers enough. Wake up early in the morning to milk and feed and finish late at night chopping silage. You guys are animals and I cant thank you enough for your hard work.
This year has been awful in my part if the world. We had a few months with very little rain so the plants wilted, then two weeks of non stop rain so the plants flooded, then another two months of heat. Now we're here and back to constant rain...
Watching these videos give me an understanding of what my dad does this time of year. No we don't have a farm but there are several farms nearby that hire dad to help with harvest. He leaves before I get on the bus and gets home about midnight. Great video guys stay safe
Bunk number 2 is full!!! LOVE THE OFFICE VERY HANDSOME!! Missed you guys checked yesterday for a video in case I missed it Super happy to get video tonight!! Thank you!!
I’ll tell you what, watching this video really made me miss the farming life. Like, what would the world do without farms!? It takes some amazing and special people to continue the farming going. Love it.
I would have never thought of using the sheepsfoot roller, but having worth with them a bunch in road construction it seems like the perfect solution for compacting silage.
That vibratory sheeps foot can put a lot of stress on those silage bunk walls if your not real careful.. great looking fendt tractor you had there helping👍 hard working harvest crew working around the clock getting it done! Thanks for the video!🇺🇸✅
We had a 20 by 70 upright silo I can remember getting ready to fill it I was about 15 at the time I climbed to the top on the outside Just as I was going into the basket The bottom plate came down on my head Had to really hang on for minutes Aww the good old days Love your video Keep up the great work
Greetings from Dublin Ireland.I am a city boy born and bred,but have the most respect for people who work the land. It’s hard work but it’s Honest work.Stay safe!
Ive been following this channel for 1.5 years now and wow, im so glad you and your family's channel have grown so much. You truly deserve it! Lots of love from Holland❤🇳🇱(as always :)
Great video, you guys don't mess around. The way the chopper arm can land the goods into dumptruck even rounding corners is pretty awesome operating. The right tools and the right operators make all the difference.
That's a lot of silage! Good to see your Dad out there - hope you can keep him reined in until he is fully healed! Great video. You look worn out Eric - I hope you can get some rest!
ALSO.... I want to mention the silage blower.. Absolutely "THE" BEST Set-Up I have seen! I am willing to bet "YOU" Have Set a 'Trend to All Dairy Farmers in the N.E.
Nice post Eric. You definitely earn it everyday. Thanks for sharing a little piece of your life with us. Honestly, we all look forward to seeing life through your video posts. Take care buddy. Mike from Michigan
My stomach dropped when you were way up on that ladder. Farming is hard from what I see & you do a great job. Enjoyef the video & would have loved to see more of the wee calf
i drove though NYC at 1 or 2 am, thinking i can get though it b4 traffic..i was wrong..and never went back..WAY TO MANY PEOPLE, WAY TO MANY. i cant wrap my head around how people live stacked on top of each other like that. i thought i got lost in the sketchy part of NYC then realized its all Sketchy part. so you realize, this is a joke..it was Cincinnati..NYC seem interesting, i might come there to drive though it one day..not stay..just drive though..compare it to cincinnati.
Eric, I really appreciate your work ethic. Hard working young man. I also really appreciate your explanations and descriptions of what you do. Not all of us were blessed to be farmers :-)
Blessed man he probably stuck worrying to the point of insanity being a farmer is not for everyone 😞😂 it literally becomes a life style that requires 24\7 attention
Impressive the time saved by being close to the bunker. Always keeping the chopper going is of the utmost importance so as to get the crop in at the proper moisture content for the highest dry matter, yet not too dry to pack well.
what gasses? i wouldnt think there would be any dangerous gas releae from a fresh bunker being filled unless it was pre fermented and he was leveling that idk maybe that gives off methane or something but man lifes weird
Great video! I enjoyed every second of it! Didn't know about this channel, before I just stumbled over it when killing some time. Sure will dive into Your other videoes! Loved it! From the news we only get the crazy shit that goes on in USA these days, so it's good to see some good old, honest work and hard working people! Greetings from a X-farmer from Norway
You grow up on a dairy farm, you grow up early. I grew up on my grandfathers farm in upper New England. He put me to work as soon as my feet could reach the pedals.
This brings back memories. When I was young, my best friends dad had a dairy farm on the south side of the town that I lived in. I would go down there every chance I could and help him with his chores and do what ever I could to help out. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for these videos, it takes me back to my childhood and my little experiences on the farm.
From a former uk farm hand I must say I enjoy viewing the farming blogs if that's the correct term. I also enjoy observing the different techniques and equipment . Well done video very fast paced coverage.🇬🇧🇺🇸
All hands on deck! Looks like you had beautiful weather for harvest, few breakdowns. You poor guy you look you so tired, get some rest when you can! Good job on the drone shots!🙏👍👏🔥💯
I can not get enough of your videos. I don't think anyone knows what goes on at a dairy farm. I do now. You are an amazing young man. Keep up the hard work and mention your name once in a while, I had no idea your name is Eric.
That is true but many people do not realize that but think that farmers are lazy asses who just drive around with their tractors and most of the time do nothing.
Yes, I remember when i was a kid a local farmer lost a son in a grain bin he climbed in it for some reason doing repairs or whatever and the floor dropped out from under him 😢❤
On average, fishermen have one of the most dangerous jobs due to unexpectedly bad weather conditions, defective gear, and incidents related to transportation. This field has one of the highest fatality rates.
When I was a kid in middle GA, we lived on a diary farm with 2 pit silos dug in the side of a hill, similar to these above ground ones. We'd pull the wagons in with one set of wheels on the sides, then turn into the pit with the wagons. Unload on the way down, then out and back to the field. We used a M Farmall to pack between loads. Neat to see this still going on. I thought this 'old style' wasn't used any more. This video brings back good memories.
Many farms here in Sweden don’t use upright silos anymore, instead they use U-Bunkers like the one you see in the video, they compact grass and chopped maize in them for feeding the cattle. I have seen shredded sugar beets go in and be blended among the chopped maize, but that was at a biogas plant in Germany.
Those articulating rollers are odd to get used to. We always called them wiggle reels. Your doing a Fine job young man. It takes the help of every man available to make this sort of stuff happen. So much of it goes unseen. Even when trying to document everything there’s so much more
as usual, I enjoyed watching how you are doing the work and get it done... and this job could be my personal business some day when i go back to Syria ! so i'm here getting experiance and inspiration.

I really get inspired by you. How dedicated you are and the way you face challenges.
You’re spooking me by going so close to the bunker’s edge and climbing the silo with no safeties!
There's a cage on the ladder.
And that's why you don't throw a rookie on the packing tractor.
Love the vids eric keep up the good work 👍

Love that removable post for supporting the panels, such a good idea.
Be careful, that extra dynamic load of the vibrating roller might pop out one of the bunker walls.
Impressive the time saved by being close to the bunker. Always keeping the chopper going is of the utmost importance so as to get the crop in at the proper moisture content for the highest dry matter, yet not too dry to pack well.
I salute a young farmer like you. Despite of all the technology out there are still CZcamsrs vlogging about farming.
Please everyone be careful this harvest! Just got back from a neighbor's funeral, he was leveling off his silo and was overcome by gasses.
Mathew Koesters life is un predictable. we all feel terrible about your loss and stay safe don't forget your mask
I'm sorry to hear that.

14:27 you can feel Eric laughing after the joke. Kindda funny tho ;)
Y'all seem to be very good coordinating large efforts with your work teams!
I've learned to never underestimate a farmer when they say: "today's going to be a busy day".
Just like we do it in the netherlands, just that we don't typically have those standing silos... nice vid!
I like your new toy, “The masseuse!” Blessings.
“Little scary up here, a nice view though..” - that answered a lot of questions I had about working with the silos.

1M in just week, good job
Your farm needs to be in farming sim. I'm sure many would agree. Thumbs up if you like this idea :)
Love the videos! Work on a dairy farm in Scotland 🏴 nice to see how different country's do it
There is a smell in a silage silo that's unique, but once you smelled it you remember it. Watching this I can smell it, 60 years later.
I enjoyed when the custom chopper came in the fall.

Yours is the only farm that I've ever seen that is paved around the buildings. That is so smart and must have cost a fortune.
This farm seems to go all-out on everything. Great equipment, bins, silos, tools, etc.
Its actually just gravle on the driveways around the buildings. Paving would be too expensive for sure.
Is it black gravel ? It looks paved.
