- In this video I show you our 8400 Deere discing a field and then I feed the cattle. I also show some serious hail damage from a terrible storm. Thanks for watching and the support!
Thanks, Kip, for sharing your story, including the misfortune you're enduring; it's an important part of your story and needs to be told. I appreciate your abilities as a CZcams story teller; you make this channel a must see for me. Best wishes, and Happy Easter, to you and yours.
Really appreciate that 👍
Prayers for your niece , stay strong ! Bob
Thanks 🙏
Hey Kip. I am a 72 y.o. man from Defiance, Ohio. You are living the dream. I was born and raised on a dairy farm om the 1960s. We only had 40 Holsteins milking usually. I milked from age 14 - 19.
Happy Easter Kip and families. So sorry for the nasty storm damage and especially one of your nice first calf heifers. Thankful you were able to salvage what you did. Love the turning radius of the 8400. Power also gets the job done faster. Prayers for MacKayla and the rest of you on this special day. Thank you for sharing the good bad and the ugly.
Thank you👍
I agree with you, have to keep thinking positive. Keep your awesome videos flowing.
Yes sir
Kip , I’m so sorry this happened to you guys . I’m praying for you on this Easter Sunday . I really enjoyed watching the 8400 out in the field . Thank you for the positive message during this time .
I not only learn about dairy farming from you but also many other things. I really appreciate how much you love your job and your herd. I pray for our farmers all the time. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
Thank you
The thunder of that big hail on those tin roofs must have been terrifieing , to bad about the heifer but I guess only one causality isn't unacceptable ! Those bags surely show how severe that must have been , good job of all hands to put the best fix you can on it ! With everything that's going on in the dairy world already only one segment of agriculture would be mentally and physically capable of dealing with all those problems and that would be you guys that are already doing it , keep it up , somewhere down the road there's gotta be a sliver lining !! Got behind on my video watching so this is late but Happy Easter , and good thoughts for your niece! Planting will give you something new to concentrate on !!
Happy Easter!!
Thanks Kip good video sorry yal got hit hard hail & for the cow yal had to put down a plus she didn't go to waste ! Be safe. Daniel from central Mississippi
Be safe heard a tornado hit there!!
It was on the ground about 8 miles from me we are still getting hit hard rain high winds so far so go kip 👍🇺🇸
Awesome 8400 👍 we got hit with hail hear in Wisconsin last spring and same problem with the AG bags and we had a guy come in and he painted the bags and resealed them that way cheap and easy
Thanks, good idea👍
Horrible turn of events with that storm. So sorry to see all the damage and for the loss of a beautiful lady. Still praying for Mikayla......have a Happy Easter Kip and family.
Happy Easter I’ll update you on her soon, she’s slowly starting to walk again!!
@@KipSieglerFarming1 That is terrific news! The power of prayer!
👍👍🙏🙏 keep the faith. Happy Easter.
Happy Easter!
nice to see dirt turned over in stead of keep planting.
We got that same storm baseball size hail in southern Wisconsin northern Illinois. It was crazy. Glad you got everything patched up
👍
We just got hit with a spring snow storm here in Maine 14" of wet snow and wind, power is extensively out in central Maine. Now we have a heavy rain and wind storm coming tonight (Sunday) through Monday. Most do not have power now, may be many days till power is restored. We are good everybody is helping each other getting through. Sorry for the damage the hail did, just another set back for your farm. Take care and god bless
Take care!! God bless
Kip thanks for all your hard work! I’m a butcher and I get cows once in a while that are casualties from just life on the farm. It sucks! I’ll keep the beef coming and you keep the milk pumping and days will be better!
Heck yeah man 👍👍
Hey Kip thanks for responding! You and cole the cornstarch are the only ones out of all the channels I subscribe to that have answered me! You don’t realize how far that goes with a man like me! Especially being a farmer where the work is never done! I’d like to send you some product that we make! We been a family business for 40 yrs. pm me on face book and we will hash out the details. We got customers that come down from Alaska ever yea and South Dakota. FB Starlipers custom deer processing. My fiance’ runs the page. Send me a friend request. I’ll be looking forward in hearing from you again. Thanks Todd Beatty
Happy Easter to you and your family
John Deere is best
i grew up in columbiaville and worked on abbot road drove by your place many times before i moved
you're lucky...right now here in Minneapolis Minnesota, we have 2 inches of SNOW and it's STILL SNOWING...weatherbug says we might have up to 6 inches of snow....if this isn't the biggest you need a reason to stay indoors here's one from God to make you if I ever saw one.... I miss the farm, when I was growing up I lived on one, city forced our family off and made our property into factories...
Oh no thanks for commenting
That storm is heading towards Michigan though
I'm thinking of you guys and praying for you. Often in our little world we feel isolated and alone as we experience these things. It's is saddening and depressing when these things do happen.although l must say they seem to be worse during the last thirty or so years.When. I was a kid in the sixtys and seventys we never experienced weather like this but now it seems like it is almost every year or its drought and massive bush fires.
To go through these things one has to dig deep and also draw on their faith in God that everything will balance out at the end and there is something left over as a reward for hard work and perseverance.
Glad no one was hurt. There are covers for ag bags, may be a good investment. Cheers !
Might be is right didn’t know that
Our family drinks a lot of milk, almost a gallon every other day, but it makes me feel guilty when I see how hard you work to make it available to us. Milk should cost three times as much as it does. Thank you for all you do.
I agree 👍👍
@@KipSieglerFarming1 People complain about milk prices but will go into a gas station and spend $2.00 on a bottle of pop and not bat a eye at doing it.
An Easter prayer for Kayla! You had a bad hail storm, sorry about losing that cow and all the damage but at least no human injuries! Love seeing that big tractor working. Happy Easter to the Siegler Family!
Thank, happy Easter!
Great message of hope and positivity to other dairy farmers. God Bless
God bless
“Don’t try and focus on the price, focus on the job.” well stated
Good Sunday Morning to you kip. Glad everyone is safe. Lot of hail damage there. but glad no one was hurt in it. You and your family have a wonderful EASTER . love your videos kip. ROOSTER J ACERS
Happy Easter! Thank you 👍👍
Happy Easter really like your guys operation 👍
Thanks happy Easter!
Things get tough from this covid 19 crisis mother nature decides to make life a little harder, but that's what makes this country so great, some how some way we will overcome. This Easter has more meaning than anyone I can remember. God bless you and your family.
Happy Easter
Wow So sorry for your loss
Best wishes to you and your family!
Thank you
That storm was crazy bad. I live in the northern lower and we had smaller marble sized hail. Thank goodness we got it then instead the summer. Love the vids
Yes sir 👍
Thanks for this video, and I hope you and your family had a peaceful and relaxing Easter. It's painful whenever I hear bad news from a farm or ranch, because of how incredibly hard and long everyone there works to keep it all going.
God be with you guys, Your one of the better farm videos I watch, like how the family pulls together in a time of need. Be safe and God Bless
Thank you 👍👍
Never a dull moment on a farm I know exactly how you feel seen a lot of been through it thick and thin over my years on dairy farms
Wow the power of nature. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Happy Easter !
Happy Easter to you and your family!!
You too Dan!
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL
Thank you!
Mother Nature can certainly be devastating. Good luck and God speed getting everything fixed back up.
Thank you
God bless you keep your family safe have a happy Easter sorry about your farm damage
Happy Easter
Im sorry your farm was hit by hail. where we lived before we got hit with over 1 million dollar in damage to the buildings from hail. You just need to keep positive about things and move on. Will keep good thoughts for you and your family.
Thank you
53 years in Michigan, seen straight line winds, tornados and hail, never that size of hail until we moved to Kansas. Wife had her car totaled out with baseball size hail. The old story in Kansas, you never replace your roof until after a storm and your insurance assist in paying. Very little vinyl siding in Kansas because of hail.
Kansas ok didn’t know that 👍
Praying for Makayla and all the farmer's out there. We will make it. There's sunny days coming.
Yes sir👍
Amazing footage. Enjoyed watching the land being tended. Soil looks so rich. Inspires me to want to just chuck my tennis pro career away and go work for a rancher/farmer!
👍👍
We run Tripple’s on our 8360R pulling a 48 row 22” planter and out 12 row sugar beet harvester
Wow big planter, where you from?
Grand forks north Dakota
Love your videos
Congrats on hitting 10,000 subscribers!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Wow that’s some serious damage! Best wishes from out here man!
Yes sir happy about that!
Over here in Brittany France we stack a few car tyres on the top Of The AG bags or the bales Of halage and then we pull a spare fishing net to avoid Black birds or other birds that come to check for worms under the plastique.
Good idea 👍
Happy Easter. We had one those hail storms a couple years ago only ares was in early august ,broke car windows damaged buildings and shredded corn fields . What a mess
Man hail can be powerful. Hopefully your bags will be ok.
There's some guys here in northern wyoming that have a set up similar with triples for land leveling. We use that pass to " level" the fields so the irrigation water will run the way it spose to
Man you got pelted that caused a lot of damage and all that stress to the cows. Stay safe good man.
Back in 1965 we milked almost 70 in a big nice barn and about noon seen smoke coming out of the hay mow. Cows were in the pasture, we got all the calves out and three fat steers we had and the milk can cooler and milkers but the biggest trouble we had was trying to keep the cows away. They came running back and was trying to get in the barn. Some times their hard to understand what's going on in their head.
Wow, thanks for commenting
I've seen three storms here do that and worse
It's not fun
It's frightening then once the shock is gone the hurt and sadness sets in .
We had hail hit the AG bags years ago. Sucked. Middle of summer heat we spent days out there with rubbing alcohol and putty knife and AG bag glue patching them back up while the bright glare of the sun off the white bags blinded us besides.
Kip, I had a thought on your milk cooler condenser there is a tool called a condenser fin comb that will straighten out the fins. I have used one on air conditioner unit on the job that I retired from. It worked quite well. The are available from Grainger Part No. !dxn3. Being a farm bureau member you can get one from them. Hope this is some help for you.
Yes gonna need one 👍
You can work from silage pits or silos on a conveyor feeder system , I have worked that way for 14 years till towers became dangerous aged no problems, you need feeder wagon and short conveyor it’s not fastest feeder , but as fast as tower silos unloading never any problems. A bunker silage store is way more economical than bagged silage less waste of plastic and silage Good luck in this coming season from Scotland.👍🏴
Yes then could sell the ag bagger 👍
Decent drone footage kip❤👍👌,your dad is some boy with his tractors 🚜nice looking farm. I will have some merch off you!!👍
Heck ya bro
Wow that sucks had that here in upstate NY a few years back. Happy Easter Kip! God bless
God bless happy Easter!
That series of storms traveled from my area and went north towards you. They were bad down here as well. we got some penny sized hail but and wind that brought down some tree's. Sad to hear about the heifer. We had a storm last spring and my cows ran all over we had 5 escape from a hole in the fence 1 was hit by a car on the highway. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friend !
Thanks brother farm on
We got part of that storm in Lenawee county wild night. Not as bad as 55years ago Palm Sunday tornado
Wow no kidding almost 55 years to the day!
Dairy Farming With Kip Siegler yup
Nice
That storm was terrible I'm north of marlette I just got bb size hail I heard North Branch and Imaly City got pounded with hail? It's go time around me they are putting sugar beets in today!
Heck yeah
Great drone footage, ground is tilling up well.
👍👍👍
Hail damage stinks. Had that happen to a grain bag before. Never seen so much rubber on an 8400 before. 👍
Happy Easter bro
"Focus on the job, not the price" , so true. Price is the thing we can't do much about.
Sad but true isn’t it
Triples 👍
I haven't been keeping up with you guys lately. Have you had to dump any milk yet. I seen the dog and pony show the Govenor put on, in that barn the other day. Shes not gonna do anything maybe she will wait and see I guess. I feel bad for the dairy farms we need them. There aren't vary many of them left.
Not dumping but might happen
Feel for you and the other farms and folks near you. They tell us here in Ohio we may have to dump some milk, we hope not, but we're talking with a large indpen hog farm who has a farrow to finish oper about maybe using some if that's the case. Mother Nature is one heck of a Lady...sometimes SHE leaves the milker alone and gives ya the yield, other times SHE can kick the milker to the curb and NOT think twice about it!! FARM ON my Friend!!!!
👍👍
7800 is a very common tractor see them every where
Sorry for lost! We had that hit her years ago! At least your corn wasn’t up yet! That’s always a bad thing when the corn is damage!
Yes sir!!
The look that speaks a thousand words 9:16
I like how wide this modern equipment is. I'm 72 back growing up the tractors went as powerful therefore equipment was a bit modest by today's standards
First off, from one farmer to another, I'm sorry to hear about the damage done from the hail. I know how nature can deal a hard hand. Glad it wasn't any worse. Now as for that 8400, man I've never seen that much rubber on that model before! Lol That's cool! I'd noticed that custom exhaust too before you pointed it out! Drone footage was nice! That looked like a Krause disk!? How wide is it!?
Heck yeah thanks man, 30 ft Krause. Dad wants stuff to look good 👍👍
@@KipSieglerFarming1 you're most definitely more than welcome! And oh ok! It was pulling it like a champ! 💯💪
Thanks man but its easy to say focus on the job ,at the end someone has to pay the bills , we try to stay positive and keep on milking overhere happy easter to you and youre family
Happy Easter!
I was about to say are you going a little overboard with the tires...lol sometimes that's what sucks sure you don't want that to happen to any of them, but that still sucks when you have a young heifer, cow go's down.. but inerways good video.👍 sir.
Sorry about the damage bro. Don’t wish that on anyone. Being a veteran I did chuckle a bit when you said “are we being attacked” ?? Been there couple times myself. Anyway always love your vids thanks man
👍👍🤠🇺🇸
We get floods but thats nothing compared to that size of hail, hope your all ok. Would a heavy cover sheet for a silo(bunker) not work to protect the agbags just a thought. Do you use legs chains on weaker cows to stop them doing the splits during bulling?
Yeah I guess they make covers
I didn't get any hail in dryden
Kip, excellent way to explain to the layman why you run triples and duals! Great video! Sorry about all of the hail damage! Hope your insurance covers most if not all of it! Great content! I'm a new sub but I've seen a few of your vids, and you put out great content! Keep up the great work! Best wishes for the 2020 season! I hope you and your family are stayin safe and healthy in these uncertain times! Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock PA
Thank you 👍👍
Not a good day!!
We had alot of wind damage with that storm in Illinois and only a tenth of rain..
Sorry you got hit by that storm, we had strong winds and rain Saturday night here in Nw Iowa and around 3AM it turned to snow and we ended up getting 7 inches of heavy wet snow and we also had 50 mph winds but the plows were out on the highways cuz it was Easter Sunday and the city was out plowing the streets but most of the town just let mother nature take care of sidewalks and driveways but businesses did there lots and sidewalks. By any chance have you had to dump milk down the drain yet.Theres slot of schools and colleges that have closed up and the dairy have been dumping milk due to no place to go with it. I hope things change around in a hurry and the virus dies out or slow down cuz Smithfield foods in Sioux Falls SD has over 400 cases of the virus and the plant will be closed for 2 weeks so it will slow down and could be closed longer cuz they said indefinitely but meant till the virus slows down and they get pn top of it.
Sioux Falls SD is 88 miles away and my son who is a CPA lives up there and he is taking every precaution as they have a new 3 month old baby girl. And his wife is a teacher and has been teaching classes over the internet daily to get by. Hope things will perk up for you and that triple axle tractor looks awesome, would love to make one in 1/16th scale for my collection. Stay safe. Love your videos.
Thank you stay safe
🏎
You farm the world eats ty kip
Michigan sometimes sucks for farming even that bad up here in northern Michigan.
Siegler Family. I will continue to Pray for the young women.......Kip. With some dairy farmers dumping milk. Could you please (do a quick video) explaining why you just can't stop milking you stock ? There is a lot of naive people out their that don't know the true reason; why a farmer has to dump his milk. (Cow health).. Rick. Washington, PA
We got some of the same storm here in Cadillac there wasn't much damage but it was loud for awhile
You're voice is upset for obvious reasons.
Unusual weather can bad consequences.
Nice video....... 👍👍
i am a subscriber and i like your videos. I have a question for you. Have you tried any no-till planting on any of your fields?
Yes we have but really just prefer tillage
There's going to be enough loses in the dairy industry this year, sure as hell didn't need any more help from the weather.
All the milk dumping is a short term solution to a long term problem. Even if thing open soon there are a lot of restaurants won't be reopening and many events won't be taking place. Are you doing anything voluntarily to reduce milk production to cut down on the overwhelming surplus to help stabilize the dairy industry and help fellow dairy farmers survive the coming months. If everyone did a little bit milk may stay at $15 and most may make it through this, but if it goes to $12 or less like I'm hearing it will be devastating to lots of small family farms.
Yeah not good, we’re culling cows heavy
Thanks for the reply. I've asked several other channels the same thing and none of them had the decency to comment so I'm sure their going to be business as usual and not cut anything.
It would be as simple as redoing the ration to lower production or even drying cows up a month earlier to make a difference.
Thanks again for making an effort to make a difference and hopefully this will turn around soon.
Hour north of you. Minor sleet and thick snow flakes from the same storm you got hit by
Happy Easter...
Remember why❤
You too! Thank you
How much of the damage to your building is insurance going to cover ?
We’ll find out this week
i think mississippi is getting that weather its been raining its ass off for almost 2 days
Hi kip I am in southeast Michigan just wondering where you are in mich.we didn’t get hail. Thanks
Imlay city

Sure sounds like a bad storm. Amazing what we've had all over the USA for storms in the past decade. Just had to re subscribe to your channel. CZcams must be up to their crap again. See ya on the next 1
That’s weird had to re subscribe 👍👍
It's a good setup getting stuck is not fun
Have you ever had trouble with the front axle on your 8400 running front duals? Deere didn't recommend it on the 1300 axles but I am thinking about doing it on my 8300
Never a problem had them on probably 10 years
I lived through a softball sized hail storm in central Iowa when I was in high school. Very scary experience. Had a classmate claim a hail stone came through their roof and landed on the kitchen table. Sorry you lost a cow but sounds like it could have been much worse for your cows.
Just curious as to why you guys seem to run triples on that tractor? I have also noticed a lot of duals being used even when I wouldn't normally think of using them. edit: nevermind I just got to that point in the video
