- Spreading Solid Manure - This week, we're cleaning out the bedded pack area in our heifer barn and spreading it onto the field. If you have any questions about this week's video, leave them in the comments, and I will post a Q&A video on Sunday if needed. As always, thanks for watching!

I don't care if there are repeats, I watch everytime & enjoy it alot!
I don't mind the repeats, I always get something new out of them, no many how many times you show it or talk about it. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated.
Thank you!
Whatever you do on the farm is very interesting for us city slickers . It shows us how hard you guys work to get that milk or cheese on our tables ! Love my cheese and crackers ! Lol
I don’t care if it’s some of the same thing I watch every video and like them. Emission stuff on tractors is very frustrating for sure? If only a person could remove all that trash. I have heard emission problems being the worse on Fendts. Keep up the good work Peat? Would love to see your milking dept.
Yeah goedemiddach ! Just joined the channel and yah...like it!
Looking forward to watch all old stuff and enjoy the new....rije goed verdomme
Thanks for watching!
excellent drone footage. You always explain at the correct level. I agree on your emissions comments. Its alway interesting that dairy cows are interested in humans where as beef cows want to be left alone.
They are always very curious!
The videos are always a pleasure don’t worry about it.
Thanks Piet! 👍
Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic set up for muckspreading
It never gets boring keep it up
Blijven filmen Piet. Blijft boeiend hoe het boeren is aan de andere kant van de wereld.... groetjes
Great job. Love watching your channel. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family 👪
Thank you, Merry Christmas!
Like the Fendt tractors
The feeding is also very interesting to hear and see
Just keep doing the videos there very good
I would like to tell you that I know how hard it is to take videos and crank them through the whole system of editing them etc.
I did it for about four years and was not getting that many hits. so I just stopped it. I never made any money off CZcams.
You have to go big I guess or stay home as they say. Merry Christmas to all and thanks for all your postings.
Merry Christmas, thank you for watching!
I will like you to talk and show more about eymbros and using beef bull seman to get cross cows for resale
I can do that!
Always interesting videos. You milk a large number of cows with minimal equipment.
Thank you!
Hope you will organize other farmers who feel the same as you about rules and regulations that you find costly unnecessarily and not just let it go....You need to form a group and meet
regularly and communicate with your state legislators, and your federal representatives being specific about each reg and why it is bad for everybody concerned and there is no factual
measuring going on to see if they make a difference. Videos about your efforts and progress on this endeavor would be good.
I can't see emmisions regulations becoming less strict. We need better technology or improvements in the DEF systems.
As long it is interesting and something s over and over they may have something new it
We fed the sorghum to our milk cows but we cut it earlier and younger than you did. And we got two or more cuttings where we live. Made great feed. I would like to see a milking video and a cheese making video again. Thank you
If we grow sorgum again, we'd probably do it in multiple cuts to gain on quality like you're talking about. It shouldn't be a problem showing those things in future videos.
i did love the cheese making video also
Piet. Thanks for sharing your time and videos. Really neat to watch. I was wondering just how many acres do you manage to feed all your cows? I used to dairy 30 years ago, but how times change. Your farm is much, much more efficient than we ever had. Hey Merry Christmas to you and all your family.
Merry Christmas! We farm around 1200 acres and also purchase feed from neighbors. We are typically harvesting around 1500 acres of silage and 750 acres of earlage every year.
The emissions don't address the wildfires or natural events that cause catastrophic changes.... or China for that matter; it's one of the government ploys to pull more taxes... the activists and those who push for these regulations should be the ones to hand over the money for repairs when it breaks.
Great video really liked drone photage! Are there different minerals and nutrients added to the soil with different bedding being spread?
Yes, there is a fairly big difference in nutrients available from the bedding pack manure we handle as a solid and the liquid manure from our milking cows. The majority of nutrients will come from liquid manure.
Your videos are always interesting. To you it is what you do every day, for some of us it is new and interesting. What was that pile you drove past near the end that looked like it was covered with tires? Do you have any children working on the farm? Is it your plan to keep the farm in the family?
That pile was corn silage. When we harvest corn silage, we pack it in a pile and cover it with plastic and tires to keep the plastic in place. The silage will ferment, and the plastic and tires keep it from spoiling so we can feed it all year round. I have 2 sons, they are 1 and 3, so not working on the farm yet! I want to give them the opportunity to become dairy farmers, but ultimately that decision will be up to them.
The effort you are putting into your videos comes across. I really appreciate it.
Always interesting.
How did you make out with your nutritionist?
Are you able to feed more of the silage you have a lot of if you adjust other ingredients?
We left it at the same rate but we're going to try a higher rate when we get into some of our best alfalfa bales.
We are only allowed to put manure/ fertilizer from february till augustus
We aren't allowed to spread liquid manure in the winter from November to April, but bedded pack manure is more flexible.
Everything is interesting.
What are the laws on spreading manure on frozen ground in ND? Wouldn't you be more efficient with two spreaders? Wouldn't have to keep the barns open nearly as long in zero temperatures.
Liquid manure needs to be injected so we don't spread liquid manure between November and April. Bedding pack manure can be spread any time unless there's more than 6 inches of snow on the field. Two spreaders would be quicker, but we don't spread enough to justify a second spreader.
💪💪
good afternoon, could YOU make a video about working with newcomers and how your synchronization protocols are configured
Yes, I can talk about those in future videos.
New to the channel. Nice farm. If that fendt isn't under warranty delete it.
Thank you! We've thought about that, but our dealer said they won't work on the equipment if we alter the exhaust system.
You should explain how many hours a day and week and month you actually put In I'm sure it's a lot more than people understand.
I ADMIRE YOUR WORK WORK WORK
machtig mooi werk, alles mooi voor mekaar. jammer dat de Adblue nog niet helemaal voor jullie is afgestemd.
Dank je wel!
Need some help with emissions on the 930? I run a s5 936 with none if you are interested...
Have you thought of using Molasses mixed with urea, fed at a rate of 2lbs per day per animal? Or are you using DDG? We used to feed cornstalks free choice with Molasses and urea. Cornstalks has the energy of alfalfa hay. Just not the protein. Granted we were feeding beef cows and not dairy. I'm confident you are using the most cost-effective ration that you can. I was just curious is all.
We feed both DDGs and a Molasses mix. Our rations are balanced for each group of cows by a nutritionist using a variety of locally grown feeds and byproducts.
Can you try get your dad on camera?
I'll try, but I'm not sure how successful I'll be!
Your lucky can't spread manure in Europe during winter. No fertiliser from mid September. No liquid manure from 1st Oct till mid Jan
We're not able to spread liquid manure in the winter when the ground is frozen from November to April, but bedding pack manure is more flexible.
What about trading those top of the line, fancy Fendts in for a simpler tractor with more reliable emissions? Something like a Versatile or New Holland? You guys need horsepower and reliability, not bells and whistles. Or, am I wrong? Because I'm definitely capable of that.
We've thought about trying another brand, but I think all manufacturers have their issues. Overall we're happy with our fendts, just frustrating to have emissions issues.
