Love the drone footage. Would love to see you open up those long rows. This is so different than when I loaded under a New Holland 1880! My husband packed silage for 53 years. Good job.
I was wondering the same thing when flying the drone and all I could come up with is that it was pretty hot that day so maybe added cooling. Then again maybe someone forgot to close it :-)
Hi Jim, maybe you can answer a question. I see all these silage videos where they are using multiple tractors to compact the silage. Why doesn’t a farmer use a sheepsfoot roller? It’s would do a better job compacting, and a used one can be purchased under 40k and last a lifetime.
My guess is because they can use the tractors for other farm activities while a sheepsfoot roller would be for only one purpose. Also it might be a little hard on the concrete ;-)
The simplicity of rural life is something I really admire

I love watching how everything comes together during the harvest
That should be good consistent feed...
Excellent video really enjoyed it keep up the great work thanks again and have a wonderful safe day
"A perfect display of agricultural technology
Very impressive,everyone has a job to do to keep things moving smoothly.
Walker Bros Ag does an awesome job and as a bonus they don't run over the old fat guy with the drone. :-)
VERY ELOQUENT 😊
Interesting that one chopper has a Deere head on it and the other one is running a Krone head. Wonder which one they like better
Plants look green. What’s the moisture?
That’s awesome!
Ok, this is crazy but I know who this is, I live in town they are the big farm that every one knows
How many tonnes can chopp that 9900 per hour?( in this kind of field)
Do you have your own service team for all those machines?
Like the Irish music. Ye should check out harvesting maize in wet conditions in Ireland this year. Especially dennehys harvest
A person would think they have done this before? Well orchestrated for sure.
Agreed. Must not be their first time 😂
Driver looking for work this coming season who to contact? If possible thanks 🙏
Imagine having to put down the tires for that silage
Why is the back shield open on the one chopper?

What cutting length are they doing?

I know of one farmer that does. Its a lot of money for a unit that only does one thing and they can't push silage.
We used a sheep's foot one year, it was awkward on the pile and got itself stuck a few times. Really too slow to move smoothly with the push tractors
Was this a dairy farm or a custom operation for other farmers?
Dairy farm
Is there any way to calculate silage tonnage per hectare?
About 60.5 tonnes per hectare
If the chopper has the correct options it will tell you the yield
Get on some wet ground and that silage operator will learn to fill the front of the bix b4 the back
Nice video. Would have been a great video without the background music. Would have actually loved to hear the machinery instead.
You get a better view from drones but they don't record sound
That is short Silage Corn🧐
Illinois spent most of the growing season in drought so it did better than I thought it would.
@@JimBaltz I didn’t think that Black Soil ever dried out! But it looks really good for Drought!
Need better music😖
I have yet to find any music that everyone likes. If you know of any, PLEASE let me know. 🙂
Narration is way better than music. We arm chair farmers want to know about the process of planting, growing and harvesting. @@JimBaltz
