Great Video content as always . The different ways it’s being harvested ,really is confusing to a non farmer . Silage goes straight to the bins Chopped whole stalks does that end up as silage also And the processed straight corn does that go in a different silo If you have time to answer these questions,I sure would appreciate it . Thanks for a wonderful video such beautiful farm and animals.🙏🙏🙏
When the whole stalk of corn is cut and chopped either in the feild or at the silo it's blown up into the silo via a blower run by a tractor or a engine hooked to the blower. However it's put in a silo it is all called silage.If just the ear of corn is taken off the stalk and chopped then blown into the silo that type of feed is called earlage or snaplage . If the kernels are taken off the cob and then put in the silo whole or ground it is called high moisture corn.When grass or some type of legume is chopped and put in a silo it is called haylage.I hope this helps you understand different ways feed is stored into a silo.Some farmers pick the ears of corn offthe the stalk and store the whole ear in a crib where it will dry and then when needed for feed they will grind the whole ear of corn for livestock feed.
@ I appreciate your knowledge shared .I’ve never been around big farm silos to understand the different ways of storing . I truly enjoy watching and learning from yalls farming videos . Bless you for sharing . I hope you and your family has a great Thanksgiving .
@@1striperon , they may believe they don’t have souls (no reason to believe they do) but the second part is hogwash. I’ve never met or have heard any of my Amish friends state anything of the sort.
@ I ask because a horse rescue in Texas keeps pointing out poor condition and sometimes abused horses that they rescue to be Amish horses. It doesn’t square with my limited knowledge.
@ , Amish look upon horses as important parts of a farm business. They cost many thousands of dollars so the vast majority of owners won’t abuse them as that’s pretty counter productive. Some may get abused but that’s going to be found in any group of animal owners. Once the animals do get old they are often sold at auctions. These animals aren’t going to be in the greatest shape as many of them are well into there teens and early twenties. Just like humans their bodies deteriorate. It’s just impossible from an economic standpoint for horse farmers to keep older horses that can no longer work. I know some Amish that do call rescues when their horses are no longer able to work and I know some that send them to auction. Either way they just can’t be kept from an economic standpoint. There’s a question that I always ask anti auction people…”is it more dignified to the horse to be slaughtered and all its parts used for needed goods like dog food, leather, etc, or is it more dignified to be buried or hauled to a landfill after dying at a horse rescue? Farms worked by horses are much more economically and environmentally friendly than those farmed by tractors. Obviously large tractor farms aren’t going to be farmed by horses but those that are have many benefits over those that aren’t. Life is full of tradeoffs. Thanks for watching and asking.
The quad hitched teams, on the chopper and the wagon, are really neat! Very precise how they work together, probably as good as using trucks!👍👍

Is it true that Amish believe the animals have no soul therefore they don’t feel pain no matter their treatment?
