  • Eastside Dairy Corn Silage Harvest 2020
    Video I shot in September 2020 at Eastside Dairy Farm near Markle Indiana. In this video Zimmerman Family Harvesting is chopping corn silage for the farms dairy cow herd. In this video is a good mix of farm equipment in the field and back at the farm pushing and packing the corn silage.

    Great to see some farmers in the US embracing jcb tractors. That is one massive pile of silage , would like to know how they feed out the silage to minimise loss. As to keeping the road clean that to me is showing respect to the other people who use the road, after all it might be your tractor/semi windscreen that gets broken when a stone gets flicked off a passing tyre.

    I ran with a crew for a number of seasons back in Eastern pa and we were opening fields a much higher percentage of the time and we had so many trees, turns, telephone poles, and wash lines to avoid. But we had a very good operator and though I never ran a chopper I will say this: it is the equivalent of driving a pickup through multiple serpentines in your back yard with less than a foot on either side and not hitting any trees or shrubs. Plus you need to text, shave, eat, clean your glasses, change clothes, and negotiate between your wife and mother in law at the same time. That is why they miss sometimes!

    I dont blame the operator if he misses a bit considering how fast the silage is being blown out of the spout and yet the wind can also be a factor noones perfect doesnt matter how good you are I can see it being tough blowing righ over the tractor cab that is quite a distance the chopper has to blow the forage rather than when the tractor is right beside it.

      The corn they are harvesting is a different variety. It has a lot more leaves and less corn on it. Most likely they are getting aHigher percentage of tonnage per acre because it is for solids and not eat Air corner. You can Google that sir. Recommend going to Andy on farming fixing and fabricating New York. Excellent you tuber excellent Does a great job of explaining everything.

  • @davidepool5884

    What that farm can harvest and pile in a day is probably more than we could could put up in a month with the one row silage cutter we used in the 70s. I think we switched to a two row silage cutter around the mid 70s. Farm equipment has come a long way since back then.
