As many commented on the last video. Your videos showing everyday farm chores are great! Even if it's another milking video it's a lot more exciting then the jobs some of us having working in the 'cube farm'! 😁

The harvest team is really good. I’m amazed how perfectly they synchronize the whole process. They make it look easy but keeping 7 pieces of equipment moving and productive all the time for many hours requires some good planning and flawless execution.

Actually it's not that hard once you're used to the people you're working with. That goes for most anything I spent a month this summer working with an excavator operator I'd never worked with and after the first couple of days of doing road shoulders and ditching it was like clock work we didn't even have to use the radio...btw I also grew up on a dairy farm.

60 years ago I was 14 years old and on my own. I lived on a class B dairy and milked cows only twice a day. 6:00 am & 6:00pm. There were only eight Holstein cows to milk. Yeah, I bucked hay, whitewashed fences and all that goes along with a small dairy. My boss had chickens and sold eggs, too. After Vietnam I worked as a conductor until retirement from the Southern Pacific Railroad. Now, at 74 I get to watch your large, well run operation. I admire your work ethic! Your dad must be proud... 👍

YAY! Corn harvest video with drone footage, packing and a ride in the corn chopper! All the hits! That Versatile looks reeeeaally nice. A person could get spoiled driving that thing. You putting on a few pounds.... As someone who has "put on a few pounds" and is now in the process of taking them off again.... be careful what you wish for my guy. I recommend putting some bricks in your pockets instead...much easier to get rid of when you are done. Thanks for the great video of silage harvest. Looking forward to seeing the barn extension get finished up.

I remember back in the late '70's harvesting 700 tons of corn for a large silage clamp (like Eric's) for a sheep feedlot outside of Tehran, Iran.We had two tractor-run forage choppers and sealed the top of the clamp/bunker after compressing the corn with heavy thick molasses pumped from a pit. Large plastic sheets weren't available then.

I have always been just totally amazed at how well the harvest process is "choreographed" like a Broadway musical. Everyone knows their part and it just all comes together. The tractors are pulling the wagons at just the right speed and as soon as one is full there is another right behind it ready to pull up, so the corn chopper never misses a beat. I also appreciate seeing how the bays are prepared to receive the chopped corn. The average American has no clue as to what it takes to farm. I appreciate your videos. Well done! Thank you.

When I was a kid (back in the 70's) we lived on a farm in the summer then it was a ranch in the winter. All summer we grew crops for silage and trucked in hay preparing for winter. The chopper was a pull behind offset that threw the silage into trucks driving along side. In the fall we brought the cows in off grazing land and it was a ranch until spring. Man that pit stunk when we opened it. They could smell it in town 5 miles away if the wind was blowing right but the cows loved it. Spent many summers driving truck or the small bulldozer we used in the pit.

I haven't seen the train of trucks in my area moving silage yet, but they run for almost a month all over the county. I pulled up next to the Class chopper they use in my car, and wow, it felt big as it took up 2 lanes at the stop light. There are 4 fields I can see from my house on the hill, and the corn here is getting well over 10-15 feet. These farming UKposts channels certainly help people understand what farmers actually do, not just magically make food appear at the grocery store.
