Green Chopping Sorghum Sudan Grass/Corn Crop Check/Dairy Cow Chow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2022
- It's a bit muddy and wet in Minnesota, but the cows still need to eat. Alan heads out with the International 1256 tractor and Bearcat chopper to fill the feeder wagon with green chopped sorghum-sudan grass. This is the second crop we've been taking off the field. The Dairy Cows are milking very well on it. After bringing the cows their freshly chopped feed, we take a look at the field corn and see if it's ready to start chopping corn yet.

More views than likes people .Please give these people the thumbs up they put a lot of time and energy into these videos.It does not cost you a thing but your time.
Thanks for sharing your sorghum Sudan testimonial! It's always inspiring to hear about successful experiences from fellow growers. Your insights will surely help others in their agricultural endeavors. Keep up the great work!
I used to absolutely love green shopping as a little kid! It was fun to run the equipment but it was very fun to bring the wagon into the animals and watch the cows just go crazy!
Yeah, that was always one of my favorite things to do, my grandpa always started green chopping corn in August, and I loved riding with for that.
Chopping u mean
Chopping
I believe the videographer has earned a night out on the town, including dining, entertainment, shopping, and room service, that will require a hotel suite for two!😃👍
I enjoy your loving family farm; it's so relaxing & uplifting to watch a young, wholesome family growing together in God's country!👍
Again, thank you for sharing your family farm!
Doesn’t get better than that…fresh greenchop, clean cows & working with your family…. I miss those days.
Love those Jersey girls! Watching you green chop, takes me back 50 years, lots of farmer’s were doing zero graze. Corn looks like going to need chopping soon.
Paddles to rim sheet must be set just right. 😮
It sure payed to plow up that piece by driveway!!!
The girls sure like the chopped up chow 😊
Lovely
The cows looking fine! I enjoy seeing your wife out there with you. I've never known many wives who would do that. Most stayed around the house. I like that the whole family is involved with the success of the farm.
Jen has always enjoyed being outside on the farm. She would tell stories about how she would clean the horse barn with her dad instead of helping her mom and sister clean the house. She jumped into the deep end, marrying me and not knowing much about cows, but wanting to learn as much as she could. Now she does all the A.I. breeding on the herd.

I applaud her for that! She is selfless and has a good heart.
beautiful cow's
Thanks for sharing.
God Bless
at 11:12.............."door dash".....great analogy !
Really nice ears of corn. Hard to beat nature's fertilizer. God bless.
I did not see the reason for the trailer with no sides, until you got back to the pasture. That’s brilliant, for real.
Very good job and God bless yall
The cows seem really happy
Great video as always thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it
Cows look real good
Awesome video! The corn is coming along nicely.
Very nice looking cows . You should be proud
Thanks!
Well done
Thank you
Happy to see the corn is in good shape.
That 86 day RR corn is one of the best sand corns I have ever seen. Good Job!
Beautiful animals and very beautiful fields y'all have there. Congratulations.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
You guys have such a beautiful dairy heard! You should be very proud!
Love watching your videos; my wife always comments on the glowing health of the herd.
Cool video and the cows seemed they enjoyed the fresh cut stuff happy cows
Awesome video as always! Nice looking corn for silage!
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the crop update . I will be shelling corn in a few weeks.
Best of luck with your corn!
Thanks for a great video and update on your crops. When you came in the field near the cows with the chop wow! they knew what was there for them.
All the best to get it off the field before winter I will be watching!!!
Love watching you guys from Pennsylvania beef cows farmer here and carpenter
He had some nice corn there allen looking forward to harvest. And a really cool videos to come.
Of all the RUclips channels I watch yours is by far my favorite really enjoy your video’s
Looking forward to next year. My dad and I will be attending the great Le Sueur swat meet there in Minnesota. Love finding parts for old tractors and having fun and experiencing somewhere new
Ooooh I MISS the Jersey's!😊😊
Looks like you'll have a successful year and should have good feed for the winter!
Yeah I think so. How are your crops this year?
Your cows look well Alan and Jennifer
Thank you!
The corn looking good for the year that we had
Yes, I couldn't be happier all things considered.
Good looking ears.
Thanks!
My compliments on the video shots. Cows look great and very calm. Keep up the great work. God bless you all for the hard work.
Thanks 👍
Your guys corn looks damn good for it being dry this year
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a Beautiful fall day there in Minnesota. Your cows looked so happy and Healthy. As you drove up there ever one of them was chewing there cud.
They call that Zero Grazing. You have a good setup for it too!
I love watching your videos. I know your a small dairy but you have some of the best looking and prettiest dairy cows. You all do a great job with your cows.
Thank you very much.
Very nice feed and nice regrowth. Got a little frost this morning up here. (September 22). You won't be far behind us.
👌
Ears sure make the tons!!! You got nice ears yourself Alan!!! I think when you start you'll be pleased!! Kevin
WISH I WAS THERE !!!!❤😊❤😊
We did always corn after pasture and then triticale. Turns out always pretty well. But that was in France
When I chopped Sudan grass that very first time it felt like going into a jungle. I used an 88 Oliver. I definitely could have used a little more oomph. One could get lost in a field like that. I agree, nice ears makes up for tonnage. Looks pretty good.
Good idea with the feeder wagon.....beats handling it twice
👍👍
the cows looked pretty happy to see that load of fresh feed come in should milk well on that
Oh yes, it will be interesting when we test milk in a few days to see if it makes a difference.
Some city slicker s probably don't realize that cows are lazy n milk better if you bring the feed to them
Got a good corn crop this year
Hopefully you'll have some left
to shell. I'll bet 3 weeks till you
chop. Still green and wet.
Hopefully a great harvest ahead !!
With a board or piece of tin across the back you could really load that open feeder wagon up!!! A lot less costly for fuel by less travel. God Bless!
Yeah I need to get a backstop on there.
Some spoiled cows green pasture and door dash! Interesting to learn about corn when to harvest. Still little bit of new cattle feed here in Alberta CND.
Your herd continues to look healthy clean and productive. I noticed in one of the scenes your Jersey Mindy looks like she is quite a milk producer. She sure has a nice looking udder and quite full of milk. My uncle used to green chop sorghum sudangrass and his cows ate it like candy. Have a blessed day folks and thanks again for the great videos. Have a bountiful harvest this fall!
Mindy is Jennifer's pride and joy. She is our best-producing Jersey at 80 pounds a day.
@@trinitydairy Wow...that is quite a milk machine for any breed of cow. That is great! Thanks!
Thanks for the video Al, it was really fun watching, I seen that one of the RUclipser has passed away, harmless farmer
Oh no! I hadn't heard that.
It's time for hard work!)
Wow, everything is green on your area! In our area almost all trees is yellow. Farmers harvested most of the fields (grains, it's not time for sunflower, i suppose)
I saw my first black bear in our area of N.E. Ohio, while flail (green) chopping.
Man Mindys bag is ftb at 12:19! My grandfather used full to burst for udders and to much dinner.
At my Aunt an Uncle farm they did like you green chop Millet,Sudan,they cows would love it sometimes so would the Deer an Moose you think he had a herd of them not cows here in Maine. Lol
Hello, i love them cows, i just wish i had a place to milk some, corn looks great. Thanks for sharing and if you could please give me a shout out. Roy
With 50+ years experience on both international and case tractors, when on the IH it just definitely seems more of a real performance tractor than the case ever did. My advice is go more red.
Lot of farmers are saying the corn is shorter and smaller Cobbs the time she's not there this year
👍👍🐄🐄

Are you planning on picking any corn this fall? Your cows are in really great condition
We're hoping too. If frost holds off, my Grandpa's should make it for picking corn.
Nice looking herd of cows. I love Jerseys. My grandparents had them. How is their milk yield compared to the Holsteins?
Per pound of bodyweight it's very comparable
@@trinitydairy I thought so. They are both really good producers.
From what I've read, when Sorghum heads out, root growth stops.
Was all the corn hybrid the same as you normally plant? The 86 day Kussmaul or what is the new name and number? It looks good 👌🏼🇺🇲
It was the new name and number, but it's the same as the Kussmaul, the company just changed hands.
@@trinitydairy do you remember the new name and number of the hybrid ? I must have missed it.
do you have a corn processor on your chopper?
No, but I wish I did.
What do you do with the milk that you produce?
We belong to a dairy coop. They pick up the milk and make it into cheese and butter. A lot of it is actually produced under other labels, but our coop has it's own brand now. Dinner Bell Creamery.
Your dry land corn made bigger ears then are dry land corn.
👍👌❤🇨🇦
They had some 15 foot corn and they didn't use fertilizer
Though you was going to tear the house down
I still want to tear down the old milk house, but I am having a terrible time trying to find an electrician to move the power lines.
Blow it right into the feed wagon. Didn't think it would stay. But so wet and damp I am sure not much was lost. Cows will kill themselves if you just leave where they can overfeed.
🧙♂️☕♥️🇺🇲🐄🚜👍😊
Biggest mess is from the cows on green chop. Don't stand behind them if they cough.
Put everything that the cows can walk to into permanent grass. Feeding cows is your biggest cost and grazing permanent grass will reduce your summer feed costs to one third of what it is now. Chopping permanent grass for winter feed will reduce your winter feed cost to two thirds of what it is now. Six months grazing and six months grass silage means your feed cost will be cut in HALF ! That is a 50% sale .No plowing , discing , planting , stone picking , spraying , etc. , etc. Buy a 900 New Holland for a few thousand so you can cut that grass silage with ease. I switched 25 years ago when I was 30. Best decission I ever made. By far. (Ideally you want 2 acres per cow. That will feed the cows and their replacements). If you have more - let rented ground go........If you graze now you already know you make your money in summer and spend it for winter. Now you can reduce spending for winter.
We don't have nearly enough acres to do that, and with the sandy soil, it's very difficult to have enough grass for grazing, for instance this summer, we had good grass in the spring, then the rain quit, and hay fields and pastures we're all brown.
I did intensive rotational grazing for my last 14 years.
Central MN and the best I could get was 5 months grazing and even then I needed mother nature to co-operate.
I had heavier soils than Allan but there were still years I had to pull cows off grazing strips for a couple weeks due to dry conditions.
Dairy cattle still need grain.............(whether raised or purchased)
I’d put them right on that Sudan and millet. They would actually prefer to eat it that way.
If I had it fenced, I probably would.
@@trinitydairy yes, fence is vital.
👍👍
