These guys chop for us. Several thousand acres of wheat & several thousand acres of alfalfa each year. Blake & Scott are both great guys 👍👍. Highly recommend.
I think you guys are doing a grand job. I watch a wide variety of RUclipsrs from Trucker Tim, Professional Struggler, Massey Dave and it saddens me to always hear of negative comments. If you don't like something or someone to don't watch it! Have a great Christmas break and all the very best for the new year ahead. 🎄👍🏻🍺
Cracking video guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great interview with boss men AND drivers …. Knowing of Tucker topped it for me 🔴⚪️ it’ll be hard to top this 😁 intense spot to drive though!!! personally I don’t like how they stack the pit Even though it also makes a good job!!!
Man I’d love to see you guys over here where I’m from chomping through our 10-16 foot tall corn with thick stalks and 2-3 cobs per plant. Could probly move a disgusting amount of feed. Making those choppers work wouldn’t be an issue. It’s rare to see a 12 row orbis out here most guys are 8-10 row only see a 12 on like a Deere 9900 or claas 990 but they don’t Move fast. 10 row on a 990 is usually better off has more consistent feed rate into the chopper, can travel faster. Don’t get the big slugs through the machine as bad. Past couple years hasn’t been the greatest for us either tho tbh, corn yields have been down. Still not at all rare to see 12-14 foot tall corn tho. Anything under 10 we consider not to good. If we had entire fields under the height of the chopper cab we’d be having a more then just bad year. We’re pretty blessed with the ground we have in our area for dairy operations.
Pretty impressive operation from a contractor standpoint, but unfortunately the out of state and subsidized dairy farms are rapidly ruining the Texas Panhandle. They are depleting the ogalla aquifer so fast that in many places they have to run 3-4 wells per quarter section pivot, 20 years ago 1 would do the job. If they dont wake up, the future of the area is doomed. Amarillo is buying water rights over 100 miles away just to try to keep up with aquifer depletion rates...pretty sad to see through the eyes of a 5th generation local farmer.
Southwest Kansas is the same way. I hate to say it but I think in about ten years that land will be abandoned by farmers and be left as grassland or government ground.
Another great video lad and the team did you ever consider going out to check on one of our own that has done good from leaving his lough ern shores that's drumgoon farm
Check it on Google earth, 500 acres of igloos for calves, 10 miles north of Dalhart Texas. I don’t know were you are from, but for me, as a swiss with 45 milking cows, it’s unbelievable 😂
Great to see the array of machinery but I hope we don’t go down the road of US food production and animal welfare. Not where I’d like to see Europe going but I fear margins will do that.
to late new zealand have been there for 20 years but tax payer keeps bailing the farmers out butter in new zealand now 9 dollars for 500 grams but i do like to see the other side of the world
How they don't get taxes with their visas, but American taxpayers get taxed. I was born on a dairy farm in READING PA. YES we grew corn winter weat alfalfa and soybeans. Corporate globalization...
Honestly you cant get Americans to do the work that the H2A workers do.. The jobs are advertised to Americans and only after not being filled are they advertised in the H2A program
@delbutler885 what is your pay rate and benefits package? I find it hard to believe truck drivers and equipment operators are unwilling to do just that for reasonable pay. It makes no rational sense to import 'seasonal' labor that pays no taxes unless there is a profit or tax reason, which should not exist. Plenty of Americans (including myself) would be happy to travel seasonally to work for good pay during harvest. Where can someone apply or get information? Seems like a great opportunity to and for me.
@delbutler885 do you harvest mainly commodity crops that are covered by crop insurance and other agriculture subsidies payed for with tax money? I see all kinds of conflicts of interest with imported labor at tax payer expense.
@kevinbowers3917 no our crops are forage crops and pasture. The H2A rules are very arduous and set by the department of labor.. .. With mo one willing to do the job you.better love the H2A so that you can eat
Merry Christmas everyone.
Happy Christmas and thank you for your films during the year
Merry Christmas 🎄

Where are you located ?
@ British Columbia. Fraser vally area. Bottom of the province just above Washington.
Cobs per plant and height don't mean a lot... depends on population. What kind of yields per acre are you talking?

Who is the guy from Jefferson Wisconsin? I live in Jefferson
Another great video lad and the team did you ever consider going out to check on one of our own that has done good from leaving his lough ern shores that's drumgoon farm
Would love to do that.
Somebody has already created a video of Drumgoon. 😉
Man this would be a dream to do but I don’t think I’d ever get taken on
3 biggest central California.

Días & Frogoso inc
Danell Brothers Custon chopping
All 3 from Hanford ca
I live in Hanford, your right they all have about 22-26 choppers. I chopped for danells years ago. Back in the 880 days, 900 just came out
Absolutely brilliant video. The scale out there is unbelievable. Covering those pits must be hell 😂
Tell me about it
Silage jockeys. That's easy.
100.000 cows? We have farms here with 10 cows bruh
Check it on Google earth, 500 acres of igloos for calves, 10 miles north of Dalhart Texas. I don’t know were you are from, but for me, as a swiss with 45 milking cows, it’s unbelievable 😂
My neighbours running 9 at the minute he lost a few to TB🫣 so 10 isn’t an exaggeration at all😂
Interesting not using gps on the choppers seems less efficient. And operators could better focus on filling the trucks not having to steer.
Can't beat a claas chopper
i knew u were taylor made jackson i still remember when u were this high
at 14 18 that drivers pays no tax wtf
They are contract labor from out of the country
Merry Christmas
Same to you!
Not much chance of hitting a skunk around Middleton😂
Well the 4 legged type always.
Some outfit, merry Xmas
Same to yourself
Great to see the array of machinery but I hope we don’t go down the road of US food production and animal welfare. Not where I’d like to see Europe going but I fear margins will do that.

Wers keian man is sound get him back on da cam
Why cant you employ most of your crew as American citizens? Surely you can fill these positions with U.S. labor.
Honestly you cant get Americans to do the work that the H2A workers do.. The jobs are advertised to Americans and only after not being filled are they advertised in the H2A program

@@kevinbowers3917 contact your state department of labor. You can get put into their databases.
Too bad, that while they were in America, they couldn't interview someone us Americans could actually understand... 😢
Well I heard mexican ireland Australia don't think Americans work in agricultural in USA
Americans having problems with the English language.
On the bill gates contract........lol
