    I love hearing the tractor sing pulling the chopper! Those NH choppers make their own music...

    Getting some help from farm kids is a great thing it just dawned on me that silage is kind of like sauerkraut. Not as wet and on a larger scale. No wonder cattle love it!

    Luckily for you , you are of a slim build , having to squeeze between the tractor rear wheels otherwise it would be dangerous climbing over PTO shafts. You are making excellent videos as always, even after the family changes. Thank for being so committed.

    Hey Mike. Good video. I really like the chopping videos. Hope yall got some rain. We are dry as a powder house in N. Alabama. We need several days of good slow steady rain. Plus it's gonna be triple digits here the next few days to boot. Take care buddy👍

    Nice to get back to normal. We had a lot of first cutting that went all in to the barn as square bales. We made 52 round bales trying that out . I think were going to put 2500 small squares of second cutting into the haymow and then all the rest goes in the silo. That worked out pretty good for us last year so were doing it that way again. You said your brother is off the farm now. But if in a pinch when a rain is coming does he have time to help a little? Gotta say by the end of the day you looked beat. (No offense).

      @@mikep7810 We had a power outage, 88°, a million % humidity, and I spent most of it either lugging small generators around or yanking the pull starter on one that didn’t start, plus carrying coolers up and down stairs between fridge/freezers and bags of ice. But that doesn’t hold a candle to the work you farmers do. As they used to say on Hee Haw, “Salute!”
