Eric, I hope 🤞🏻 your children grow up to know what a Superhero you are. You have farming skills, management skills, building skills, mechanical skills, electrical skills, nutritional skills, equipment skills, mass gardening skills, communication skills, videographer skills, teaching skills, and probably more skills that we don’t know about AND you have a golden heart 💛 of kindness, compassion, happiness, peace, Joy, and love that you share with your Family and Farm and Friends and us people at home 🏡 following your journey. You are a beautiful blessing to a lot of folks and you GLOW 🤍 with the Holy Spirit!! Thank you 🙏🏻 for being a GOOD 👍🏻 human being!! 😁
Be careful Eric she will go around saying she tape into hard drives an then claims she turns it into a criminal investigation. She claims she inside information about Trump that the public doesn't know about. She's a whack job.
Didn't know what BMR was. Now I do. Thanks Wikipedia. Brown midrib (BMR) corn is a type of silage corn with brown veins in the midrib of its leaves. BMR corn is genetically modified to have traits that resist insects and herbicides, and it has a lower lignin content than other corn products. Lignin is a cell wall component that protects against fungal pathogens, so BMR corn's lower lignin content makes it easier for ruminant animals to digest. BMR corn silage is often fed to high-producing dairy cows.
Thanks Eric and your Dad as well for making this video and Happy you got your planting done. Growing up on a farm as a young kid I only got to see and work around things done during summer school holidays and silage time in the fall away back in the 1940's and 50's but it was a great life.
Good to see you planting corn and soy beans, you're getting there on the silos for your feed. I hope your planting produces a great crop, good luck with it. Thanks for sharing, have a good day!
I love the way you manage your crops and your soil without heavy tillage passes! There's plenty of knowledge in your family that's been passed down. If you don't want to get into plowing or tilling your fields, have you considered strip-tillage or row freshening? You'd be able to move just the dirt you want without breaking up the rest of it. There's plenty of 3-point hitch units on the market that would be great for your size of farm!
Great to see the second silo getting finished up and more planting. Interesting to learn that different dryness of the silage is important as to where it is placed in the silo.Looking forward to when all of your fields are nice and green. Hoping you get the rain that you need this year. Hi Mike. Ouch on the broken arm. Welder Eric made quick time fixing it. Great video and thanks.
Enjoy all your videos. This one is no exception. I cannot imagine the hard work it takes to keep your farm going, yet you do it with such ease and patience. May God bless you with a wonderful growing season.
I like the view now of the barn area from a distance out in the fields. There's no mistaking your place with the two tall silos - and they look like they have the older ones like little kids at their feet 👍
I drink a lot of milk daily! Every time i pour a cold glass it reminds me of the hard work you and your family do in order for me to drink my milk! Keep up the good work and the videos, boy those silos look tall!!!
We spent winter cleaning and servicing our equipment so it was ready to go once all the snow was gone snd fields dry enough to get into without getting stuck.
I expect a better harvest just based on keeping the tanks full as you plant seed. Looking forward to those results! You're a monster man, thank you for this glass of milk I have every morning!
We keep 3-4 sections of old rail road track on our planter for weight. We keep one inside the open frame channel all the times and the other 3 can be added or removed as needed. Keeps the weight constant and even for us, we don’t use liquid fert so theres not as much weight there so the extra added weight really goes a long way and gets the seed to desired depth
could try notill coulter blades in place of your row cleaners pretty sure kinze has a kit. might be worth a shot before you invest in a new planter. that being said we run a 6 row White 5100 don't do a lot of no till but seems to work well when we do.
Pneumatic or hydraulic down force is a must have for no till. A Case planter does a great job but they’ll all put it in the ground. Finally someone else planting no till! Watching all these tillage guys on RUclips gets old lol
A lot of thinking and planing is necessary to make all ends meet so be happy that you are able to overthink sometimes - shows further potential for growth😂
Won’t be hard to spot your farm with those silos. Retired dairy farmer from Canada that married a NH girl over 45 years ago and still get in your area a few times a year
Great job on the first harvest and finishing planting in a timely fashion Eric! As a former dairy farmer I'm looking forward seeing how the feed robots work! Can the milking robots be far behind?? 😊😊
Time is money 💰, so maybe you should look into some kind of aftermarket down pressure system for your planter. I'd guess you spent lots of time refilling to keep pressure on the planter, and not stopping to do so would pay for it just in efficiency, I'd guess. Those silos are massive and a great upgrade! Great video 📹 👍
Eric, Im excited to hear that you use xyway at planting. Xyway is now labeled to be mixed with dry corn starter. Two of my customers are trying it out on ten acres each this spring. What type of benefit do you see using it at planting? What rate are you putting it down? Do you apply another fungicide mid season? Thanks!!
Looking good.!! Could you please let me know what crop I should grow in the east coast on 10 to 15 acres of land that will help me with km aking MONEY to pay for the land ??? Thanks Tom...😮
For sure I think pneumatic downforce would help a lot and be economical, hydraulic downforce could to the trick but with HDF it could “float” your planter bar since it is light. 15:31
Hello from the uk i find you videos fascinating i work for a company that designs and manufacture seed drills we export worldwide our direct disc drill works on the min till theory only difference between yours and our is our discs cut on an angle placing the seed in a 45 degree angle trench then the press wheels close the slot the company name is weaving machinery i and our company also have youtube channels maybe you could have a look see how we do it over the pond stay safe
Griggs farms on you tube do almost all their farming in no till acreage. seeing the lone tree in the field on your farms made me think of a great logo hat..
I think you should get two medium-sized good quality planters. One for corn, one for beans. No switching. Faster. Would have a backup. And you could help neighbors who fall behind. In my opinion, Michael Mazzone
Bad part is how expensive a planter is. You can justify swapping seed plates and a couple adjustments hundreds of times compared to spending more money for another planter
I thought they didn't build silos anymore. In southern Indiana, there are more abandoned silos every day. The counties are pushing farmers to destroy the silos that are left. Clark and Floyd countries are pushing farmers hard to develop their farms into subdivisions. Farmers are falling for it, big-time.
As a non farmer, how or what do you line up on the mark made by the marker arm? Just curious. Thank you. So glad your planting went pretty well besides the marking arm breaking. God bless you and your family.❤
Many tractors have a marker that shows the center line of the hood, (Kind of like a front gun sight) that helps line up with the ridge mark. It seems to be missing on that particular tractor.
Hi Eric. Are you reporting to manufacturers of farm machinery each time you need to weld or fix a particular piece, so that in the future these issues might be able to be mitigated with stronger materials or metals? Push your repair information where it needs to go?? (That might be a stupid question I know, the parts might be old, and newer machinery might already be tweaked !!) It looked like you are just hugging the edge of the machine shop with that third silo. They look real nice on the property. If you climb to the top you can possibly see the Rohrer Farm from there !!
Row depth settings on all rows are not the same no matter what they say. So if a row is different then change the setting to achieve the correct depth. I know, this means you need to check all the rows to get even emergence.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know what BMR corn was either.
I had to look it up too.
Ruminants can turn digestible fibre into energy. The money digestible the better, in most cases
Great job Eric. We thank you and your dad for all the hard work you two do to keep the family farm alive and well. Stay safe.

Good luck to you as well. 🙏🏼🇺🇲

Awesome video Eric. 🚜🚜🚜
Dad's been running air down pressure for a few years now and we really like that.
We also pull a gentill across all the rye/triticale stubble.
We spent winter cleaning and servicing our equipment so it was ready to go once all the snow was gone snd fields dry enough to get into without getting stuck.
Hi Eric,
It has to be musice to your ears, third Silo soon to begin to start construction. I am very happy for you. God bless you and all you do.
Thanks for sharing how easy no-till is. 10th gen is ahead of his time!
VERY PROUD OF Y'ALL 🙏🙏👏
Thanks for having us
Its hard to imagine you can fill two 132’ silo’s off 150 acres of land
Thanks for the update 😊
As always, great video. All farming, no bs like some of the other big farmtubers.

Wish we could no till here in Central Minnesota. Impossible to do with our black gumbo soil.
@@beckyumphrey2626 let me guess you till and don’t use cover crops?
I think more education on min till is needed
I agree with all of the comments. But we all need to give his dad some credit too, because he definitely has done a great job of teaching also.
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲🚜
A lot of thinking and planing is necessary to make all ends meet so be happy that you are able to overthink sometimes - shows further potential for growth😂
You should get a cheap Timelapse camera to put up for the 3rd silo and also future projects/grows.
Great Job!!
Awesome work. Silo #3 on its way 👍🏻🇨🇦
Spring; famers busiest time.. seems like it gets more complicated each year, so many things to get right.. best of luck. 😅
Are the old bunks going to become new barns and a shop?
Thanks for sharing. -EZ
They plan to use them for solid manure storage, and possibly covered equipment storage in the future.
I think after the corn harvest, a chisel plow or a subsoiler will help to break any compaction
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Great video, investment in the planter is a better idea that going back tillage
Excellent video ❤❤❤

I bet the new shop will have a door big enough for the planter!
Some day
Something you could consider is deep ripping your fields instead of tillage to loosen the soil
It’s in the ground now bring on the rain and fair weather.
Time is money 💰, so maybe you should look into some kind of aftermarket down pressure system for your planter. I'd guess you spent lots of time refilling to keep pressure on the planter, and not stopping to do so would pay for it just in efficiency, I'd guess. Those silos are massive and a great upgrade!

No till requires some type of light scratching with something
Add a no till

Hi ERic,Ed from Vermont,farms around here are going whole hog,plant an chopping,way behind been so wet
i have not worked on a farm for over 25 years, how teck everything is now
I use a drill to clean out a tube that I don't want dirt to be stuffed back up in itself.
Eric, Im excited to hear that you use xyway at planting. Xyway is now labeled to be mixed with dry corn starter. Two of my customers are trying it out on ten acres each this spring. What type of benefit do you see using it at planting? What rate are you putting it down? Do you apply another fungicide mid season? Thanks!!
Running 15 oz/acre. This is our second year using it. Last year fields were very clean and we did not have to run any fungicide over it mid season.
All good!
Those fertilizer tanks could use some anti-slosh baffles.
Looking good.!! Could you please let me know what crop I should grow in the east coast on 10 to 15 acres of land that will help me with km aking MONEY to pay for the land ??? Thanks Tom...😮

Knew some folks years ago that took down an old silo. The rebuilt a section about five feet tall next to their house and made it into a swimming pool.

How many acres you have in total?
When I clicked on the channel it said they farm around 250 acres and milk about 200 cows
Should get a second camera for your dad to take around with him when he goes to do stuff!
Could do test plots with break up the ground vs no till
Man, never, never never weld in short short-sleeved shirts and shorts, you will burn hell out of your skin
Strip tilling for the triticale to corn ground?
I can almost smell the dirt.......
Can you put liquid tractor tire ballast in your planter to keep it heavy?
