  • @hspringsteen

    I had a thought about all of those tires you use to hold the plastic down. If you put poles on the walls on the edge and between bunks you could just put them on there as you take them off and then you don't have to keep moving them.

    use to be one of my favorite thing to do on the farm chopping corn . it was nothing like your doing we only had two hundred acers . a lot smaller farm than your family's . best job I ever had but the kids didn't want anything to do with the farm so when the older generation of the family got to old to work the kids sold out. one of the saddest day of my life . so watching your videos brings back memories of the farming really enjoy your videos. please keep your videos going . from a big fan from Maine keep on smiling and god bless.

    @yurizhivago4848 Před 4 lety

    Very neat and clean farm you have. I like the way you cleaned the silo and got it ready. It only takes 7 hrs to ferment silage in Farm Sim 17 but the harvesting and compacting process is slow and tedious.
    I look forward to see how it is done in real life.
    I almost died sweeping out a grain bin as a kid. I did not know about Farmers Lung or that I had bad allergies to grain dust and spores so I would make a lousy real life farmer.

You show mixing feed so its clear they need a variety of food: nutrients from different bags of powdered stuff, then silage, then alfalfa and triticale (are they for the the same or different nutritional need, is there grain too? Thanks, we never knew it was so complicated. Can't wait to see the bunker filling process.
