Chopping corn and filling silo 2023
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Chopping organically grown 85 or 86 day corn for the Phoenix Farm. No herbicides or pesticides used. Only fertilizer used was dry manure the previous fall and 9900 gallons per acre of liquid manure before planting.
We were hired to plant and chop. This is the first time a silo has been used on this farm for silage in 15 years. 20x40 Harvestore with a Hercules unloader. In the process of getting the other 20x70 revamped.
John Deere 8300, the new holland 900 chopper, and wagons were ours.

Yes I know it’s a long video.
I’m in Minnesota and have grown my corn (35) acres the same way for 6 seasons now and haven’t had any problems yet,, producing 3 corn cribs(16 ft round each) full.,,,getting it all done with a 856, have a great day
That’s awesome! Yeah definitely cool that it worked this year. Our corn at home is fertilized and sprayed. We don’t have enough manure to do this. Sounds like a good yield and gotta love a good ole 856!
Back on the dairy farm use a super m in a 600 blower on 70 ft silo
That had to be a sight! Slow and steady
Appears to be a beautiful farm operation. Love all the older red tractors. All the barns, silos, etc. Has to be a lot of fun in spite of all the hard work.
It’s a really pretty operation! Very nice to work back and forth with them. All the IHs have a ton of hours on them. Thanks for watching!
Love the natural corn like that. Nothing but manure and time
It’s very cool how well it grew especially this being the first time trying it. My corn at home is sprayed and fertilized cause I don’t have enough cattle to use just manure. But I’m glad these guys are able to pull it off!
hello sir I'm a new subscriber and thought I'd take a look at your video and I liked it , I love watching them old RED tractors work , it's much better than watching the new stuff all the time , I don't farm any more , but back in the 70's and 80's that's was what we used
Howdy! Thanks for stopping by! Glad I could bring some entertainment! I do enjoy running older tractors. My favorite we have has to be the 856. Very nice all around tractor. I love them all but for sure the most comfortable is the 8300.
Thank you for your video Sir.I grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm in the 60’s@ 70’s good looking equipment and color. Stay safe.
Thank you for watching! Happy to share videos when I can. Hopefully you can have some good memories recalled to mind!
The red tractors are awesome 👌
Was wondering if there is any nutritional value to the corn stalks that are that dried out? I know that there is in the what my grandfather who farmed in South Dakota called dent corn, in the mix? He just picked it with a M and two row corn picker McCormick and plowed it under later.
I produce horse hay in Snohomish Washington using a 966, Hydro 70, 656 hydro, SMTA and a 400. They all have there job to do.
It seemed like this stuff was gonna be too dry. But the variety that was selected was a slow dry down variety so it held moisture extremely well. Fermented nicely. Our corn at home was drier yet and still turned out nice in the bag. Very cool on the line up of rigs! We don’t have any letter tractors anymore. Smallest one we have is an 806 now and that might go down the road too.
Retired dairy producer now in CA. It is missed ( a little). Stay safe. The secret to organic is ready access to and liberal use of livestock. Yea Haa!
Howdy from Wisconsin! Thanks for tuning in! You got it though, have to manage things properly! Thanks for watching!
Pulled a disc many miles with 1466
Some nice tractors.
Thank you sir! They try to keep them up nicely. All have very high hours too. Thanks for watching!
I am from Pennsylvania farmer I was wondering since that corn is died off and dry like that dk you put it into. Tmr mixer cause it not green anymore
Howdy! Seems to be alright cows like it and are milking well on it. Not ideal but we couldn’t get in the field
Silage is dry
Wow lot of waste
Thank you! We try!
That corn is way to dry to make "proper ensilage". I guess the cows will eat it anyway. Better than nothing.
Garbage in garbage out
@@twicepaidfor8248 yep! Just like us!
Nice line-up of tractors 👍. Them old 806's sure move in road gear
Thank you! And thanks for watching! They are good ole work horses. Crazy how fast they go with 34” rubber.. mine aren’t painted up like these but they run just as nice!
Why is it so dry? The silage
We couldn’t get into the field till it froze. We had 17” of rain between September and then. We tried one time and got absolutely buried
Do you still dairy?
Yep this farm is still milking around 90 cows. They are like family, and we help each other out.
Very cool
@@johnoncken1757 thank you! It’s fun to help and be apart of 1 of only 5 left in our county. Thanks for watching!
Worked dairy farms back in the 60s filling silo was my favorite time guy I worked for had Gehl equipment white tractors was nice to see this thank you from London ont.

Thank you! Only the 8300

The CO-OP that the milk is sold to allows for us to plant this corn. Just not allowed to use commercial fertilizer or herbicide
Corn. Silage stored in a. Himoisture unit harvesters. What
Yes. Stored in an HMC unit. The unloader has been changed to a Hercules and it works good.
Do you still have a dairy?
