    Eric, you sure are a true down to the bone farmer, dragging hind end tired, late at night and you still take the time to clean up the mess on top of the silo. I admire that, the sign of a dedicated farmer, doing the right thing. I know that's a trait instilled in you by your dad and all the generations before. Most farmers don't know anything else but doing the job to completion. I sure do love those aerial shots and the silo ones too. Thanks, I enjoyed this one, to you and all your family, have a great week!

    Great video today. So much going on. That sprayer looked so space age. Dutchess is getting bigger but is still a terrific little "helper," I always love the view from on top of the silo, and sunsets and the always weirdly satisfying harvesting too. Just hope you never have to remove that one lone tree. I love that one lone tree.

    You and your father are like my dad and me back when we were dairy farming. I really do like getting my farming fix from you guys. Your work habits are awesome and you are a great farmer. A#1 chain replacement, no cutting corners( one and done). Thanks for the enjoyment you two give me. Have a great day.

    When I was a kid about 1960 to 1968. We had an all over trailer more with a 7 foot circle. We pulled it with a 25 horse silver king tractor, and in third gear. We went about 8 miles an hour at full speed. That was the best more that anyone had in our whole area. I watched other people mow at half speed we did. It’s spot close to the speed that you’re driving with your disk bine.

      One thing I do for my favorite tubers is to just hit the replay button and let the vid run again with all the ads. Then just open another

    Just a thought and I am not sure if it would work for you. Take a few totes cut the ends off to allow for free pass thru. Use clamps to hold them to the side of your grain shoot while filling the silo. Would create a temporary enclosure keeping the grain going where it is suppose to.
