Love that 1135 makes our 1085 look small. I'm gonna be growing BMR forage sorghum for silage this year. I don't have the seed plates for our corn planter to plant 30 inch rows so I'm gonna be planning 15 inch rows do you think that will affect the plant height?
I sure would want a short plant type 😁. Lots of variables there 😉. I don’t think the narrow row is a huge concern if you have a short plant type. I do dislike trying to chop down sorghum 😉…
You guys did a nice job of keeping the pile narrow. I assume to keep ahead of any spoilage? We always use to put up a pile but went to a bag after there got to be less help around. Nice part about the bag is you can unload, push, pack and cover the silage in one step.
I hear you Stephen! This is definitely labor intensive. We find sorghum works well for low-budget bulk beef cow ration. This is typically the only silage we make. Would be nice to have a small bagger for alfalfa/red clover haylage! We do not cover this stack. When the trench is done, we sometimes spread oats on top! Our environment typically limits spoilage and this will be fed before the 1st of March!
Nice job, all that work condensed into less than 12 minutes. Nice to have that stored away! The music reminds me of all the Polock jokes I had to tolerate back in the late 60's to the early 70's, very appreciated.

Sorghum/Milo for Silage is definitely a Underrated Forage Option, and a more Cost Effective Option compared to regular Corn Silage with seed prices and nutrient requirements being a 1/3 of corn silage. Glad to see that the Experts are finally coming out and saying that Sorghum/Milo Silage is equally as Nutritional as Corn Silage. Can’t forget the option for also Double Cropping after Wheat with a nice Shorter Day Variety, as well. It really is a Interesting/Underrated Crop with many different uses. It definitely doesn’t get the Credit that it deserves East of the Mississippi, East of Kansas for that matter. I am still on the Fence about the Blue River/Albert Lea Merger. Disappointed to see them Discontinue there Grain Sorghum Options as well Sunflowers and Others. Seems like they have also cut down there Corn and Soybean Variety Options as well.
I am no fan of fbn 😡, but that’s a different story. So, I was very happy for the merger. I would be patient on the merge, as I think things will get better. We tried a sorghum from Byron this year. Looks pretty good, but will know for sure when chopping.
@@GeigerFarm I have been curious about Byron Seeds. Seems like the options have been getting limited with A Lot of Certifiers shying away from Regular Non GMO Stock from Companies such as Pioneer and Others that are Not Certified Organic. I see that Legend Seeds did away with their Organic Line Up (which was Kussmaul Seeds) that they had Purchased. It was short lived acquisition which is why a lot of this Organic Consolidation worries me to a certain extent. I have Never Bought Into the whole FBN Idea, and have heard A Fair Number of Tales from people, who are Conventional Guys.
Hey thanks for sharing,very much enjoyed watching and listening to music possibly from part of the world I might of come from long ago . Got some Moravian in me . But really I’m just a hienz 57 , a mix of every thing from over there .
We are all a mix! My Prussian/polish is a small part, but I do like some of the music 🙂. Thanks for commenting. Maybe an inspiration or blessing comes to you🙏🏼, I tell my older friends, and increasingly myself, gotta keep movin👍🏻
The trench is for Dad's herd and the weanling calves...a lot of cattle Paul ;)! The music is a Polish/Ukranian Anthem and then a Polish folk song :) I like to think of that part of my family as east Prussian!!!!
Jack I’m now as curious what your music choice will be as I am of what you got going on, on the farm;) A bit less mud to contend with this year if my memory serves me correctly. That is a nice looking pile of silage you ended up with. So good to hear from you again my friend. Always look forward to it
I told you this spring I was going to make the videos I want to make 😉😂. More eclectic music coming. I find inspiration many different places. The eagles fighting in the first clip inspired the music...hej sokoly, hey falcon. I only caught the end of the fight. I was watching, just stupefied, until I remembered the camera! BTW this video has the most views I have ever gotten in a day. I am done chasing monetization😉. Revenue from this is going to Baciary, the Folk group doing the second song👍🏻. Thanks for watching Andy. Hopefully your family is well in all this madness.
@@GeigerFarm I don’t think you ever started chasing monetization;) ... I did notice the large number of views, also the large number of comments. We do live in a crazy time for sure. Seems as though the world has come completely unhinged. I’m trying harder than ever to remind myself that God is in control no matter how bleak the outlook.
Thank you! We are blessed for such a crazy year...very wet early, then no real rain for 3 months :) We are in drought now. Thankfully got a 1" rain to get the wheat started.
It really is superior feed! The grain yield is high and the BMR stalks are very sweet/thick. Jesse mixes it with chopped soybean residue and the cows go crazy ;)
@@donvoll2580 I did, but it broke on the first load! I need to weld new pivots on the hoist. I think I have the hoist angle off just a little, not sure! Some time this winter I plant to get it in the shop and fix it. If this hoist isn't going to work I have a truck hoist that I will install
We've grown a lot of sorghum sudan here in western New York. I like the bmr. We usually cut with the discbine then bale and wrap. I like the direct cut with the corn head. Never done that here.
Thanks for watching! This is straight BMR hybrid forage sorghum. It has very thick stems and heavy grain yield. We have used BMR hybrid sudangrass for haying, grazing and CC!
Forage sorghum v corn...better tonnage, lower fertility requirements, far tougher crop in weather extremes! Three weeks ago Don☹️, been too busy to post. More videos just waiting for editing! The old 1135 is a workhorse 👍🏻
@@GeigerFarm See our neighbours do not plant this & it,s new too me. But it sounds like a better crop than corn especially with less fertilizer's Thanks

We don’t cover the sorghum stack. We live in a drier climate. If you get a good pack, the spoilage is only maybe 3” and is mixed/fed with the good 👍🏻

Does blue river still carry this variety? I didnt see it listed.
They do not carry the variety. We bought their last stock for 2021 and 2022.
are you using the silage to fat steers o to milk cows and you think is better o cheaper then do corn silage for the purpose
This silage is for cow/calf and backgrounding! Higher yields than corn offset less quality 👍🏻
What bmr. Number is it
This is an older variety…I think 120 day, that Blue River sourced. I don’t know the origin.
