Filling the New Silo | 3rd Cut Grass Silage on a Small Dairy Farm
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- We built a new silo and it was time to put some grass in it. We put in almost all of our 3rd cut grass and filled it up to about a half.
Air temperatures were around 35 °C so we didn't need to use a tedder this time. The yield was better than 2nd cut but still not the best as we had pretty dry summer.
Thanks for watching!

Farmer's POV (Point of View) is a channel where I want to share videos of different chores that are going on on our small family farm in Slovenia.
We have 60 heads of cattle, mainly simmetal breed and we milk about 35 of them. We farm in a fairly hilly area so our equipment is relatively small. Currently we own 4 tractors: Fiat DT55-56, New Holland TN70DA, Deutz Fahr Agroplus 85 and John Deere 5085M.
We work around 20 hectares of mainly grass fields and about 2,5 hectares for silage corn.
We also have 7 hectares of forest.
I love this channel. It's a very calming farm perspective.
Thanks, glad you like it 🙂
Dawn to dusk..a farmers life!! Enjoy your videos. You'll be chopping corn soon.
Yes! 🤠 yeah, at least some of it, we were one mont late with planting this year 🙄
This guy is a damn hard worker.
So big and beautiful farm. Thanks my friend. Greetings from Vietnam
Thanks for watching 🙂 👍
great video thanks for making it
Hey men make more video's, they are so nice to watch.
Hh thanks, I'm doing what I can, I don't want to film same things over and over again... 😅
super vidéos bonjour de France
Greetings from Slovenia 👋
Super video je kr naporno skaakat iz enga traktorja v druga. 👍👍👍
Hvala, ja, čeprav lažje kot menjanje priključkov na enem traktorju 😁
Beautiful farm and country thanks for sharing your videos, peace and love from Northern Ireland. P.s. you need a Massey Ferguson to compliment your tractor fleet...
Thanks! 🙂 oh I would gladly accept one... 😁
Wow, you've been working hard! Usually your dad gives you a hand with silage. Is he on holiday? Nice to see your wife sharing the load. Always helps i reckon.
No he did help, my grandad as well 😉 yes, she's a great help 🙂
I like how one minute you're mowing it and nek minnit your harvesting it, it's like in the snap of ya fingers... I gotta learn that trick! No tedder, no raking... Winner winner
Oh, the raking was put in the wrong place 🤣🤣
Haha yeah well, this time around it was really fast, only half a day of drying and no tedding needed, it was hot! But we had to rake it nonetheless 😀
😂 You we’re wearing me out. Oh wait, got to milk the cows 🐄. Always love your videos. Thank you 😊
Hehe, yes, milking is mandatory 😀 thanks 🙂
It's always interesting to see what is the fastest and best way to cut the field this kind of shape...
Ne moraš se mučiti s engleskim, zna čovjek i srpski 😉
Yeah I guees there aren't any shortcuts on those fields 😀
Nice video👍
Hello again. I intended to respond in the comments section of the video where I talked about the straw and the logs, but I couldn't find it again. Back in the 50s and 40s and 50s, I grew up next to a dairy farm in Southwestern Ohio in the USA. It was a registered dairy herd of Holstein cattle. They milked 42 cows. Two things come to mind about how they fed theirs. They had a stanchion barn... and they had a deal with somebody were they found out that there was a Pillsbury cake mix factory somewhere in the general area... and they could get what they called "floor sweepings" of the cake mixes... and they put that in the dairy feed. It was strange to walk by the feed cart and smell artificial cherry and strawberry odors. I don't know what the effect was on the cows. They seem to like it, I guess because it was sweet... and then they had to deal with somebody else and came up with the byproduct of sugar meat processing... the pulp that is left and you ccould get it in large paper bags. Even though they were big, they weighed nothing because all the sugar and things would have been taken out. I don't know what food value there was, but I think they used it to add bulk and stretch the hay and silage there was, but they had plenty of hay, so I don't know. Anyway, that's what they did. They would put it in a cart and add water to it and it would it soak it pull up like a like a sponge and they would put that on the top of the silage and then put the ground feed on top of that. When they had it, fthey would add blackstrap molasses on top of that ground feed... and the cows just seemed to eat that up like candy. They sounded like pigs when they're eating that. Anyway, I just wanted to pass it on. I'm so happy to see that you have built another bank. I was wondering if you would, when I was watching the earlier videos. I was also wondering if you had intended sometime to put a roof on that one too, or if you're going to rely on plastic covers to help retain the quality of the feed. Just some comments and questions.
As always, you post very good videos. I really enjoy watching them.
That was interesting, thank you 🙂
Veliki pozdrav iz Srbije.Ti si pravi profesionalac.Kaži mi samo čime si farbao zidove silo jame.
Haha hvala 😁 sa posebnim premazom za silose, ne znam tačno ko je proizvođač 🤔
I just did the c to f. Damn that's hot. Anywhere. And being inland with no breezes. Wow! I'm thinking cold thoughts for you. Thank you for sharing
Yeah, I wish we had a roof for shade 😅 thanks 😁
Good old temperate continental climates. But that corn 🌽 needs hot days to grow above!
@@michaelklosterman7616 I didn't realize that the hot temps wouldn't hurt the corn too much. So something good can happen anyhow. Thank you I appreciate the info.
Great Video! Keep up the good work! Will the new silo also be protected from rain by a roof?
Thanks! yes 🙂
Good video 👍
Very Nice Video! I would suggest to use a white foil on the sidewalls for better silage quality.
Thanks! Yeah I was planning to try it this year but it didn't happen somehow 🙃
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Super Video i Love it
Nice nice video 😍
Pozz iz srbije, pratim svaki tvoj klip, odlični su😁😀😉
Hvala, pozdrav 🙂
We've had loads of rain this month and no chance to start harvesting even though most of the crop is ready.
Man, weather this year... 🙄
@@farmerspov4709 cgwern😃😃😄😄😄😉😉😊🍓🍓🍋🍒🍒🍆🍒🥔🍒🍑🍑🍑🍏
Nice video 😍🚜🤠🤘
Hey, do you guys put drain tile in your fields to stop water from leaking out the ground. We farm in a area where the fields have rock shelfs in the hill and if there's to much rain the ground will let the water seep out. But we use drain tiles to stop that all through out the fielda
Yes we do, more and more in recent years.
I can almost smell the grass.
Smells good 🙂
Kako je Slovenija lepa ene
😊😊😁😁
Absolutno 😀
Super🙂👊💪
The silage looked good as I knew it would, I've always been impressed with your filming skills and your editing how the hell do you find the time? Mrs farmers POV missing out?
Oh thanks, I usually edit videos late at night 😁 nah, she comes first 😁
@@farmerspov4709 good to hear
Awesome video what a Beautiful farm you have
Nice video as always, do you plan on putting a roof over the new bunk?
Thanks, yes 🙂
Why do you use only the nh on the rake and the deutz on the wagon?? Great video
They go best together 😉 thank you 🙂
great vids, i love farming to, i wonder, whats thr name of the yellow machine you use to disperse the hay?
Thanks 🙂 Reck Plantar grass silage spreader 😉
Your farm and another video a dairy farm 10th Generation Dairy Farm only cows a father and son have the best farm’s .You do grass fields for feed and they do alfalfa hay silage feed . But you both duo bedding with sawdust . They do theirs by machine you do yours by hand .But uses different machinery to work with. You both cut the your feed and you do more and they hire a guy to come in with big machine to chop into silage and puts it in silo’s or put in bins to be packed down and covered up. I watch both of your video’s and it’s interesting . Your a small farmer and their a big farmer quit a different’s . You both have milking machines , milk twice a day and work out in field’s . You both make me miss working and living on the farm.
Yeah I watch them too, they are doing great 🙂 👍
@@farmerspov4709 so our you
You videos very very great 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
Thank you very very much 🙂
Love from india
how many cows you have on the farm and can you live good life only with that farm?
pozdrav iz hrvatske
60 cows in total. Well yes, its enough for one full time job 😉 pozdrav 🤝
@@farmerspov4709 thats good here in croatia if you dont have pasture and if you dont work on sistem "cow-calf" you dont have anything because milk is cheaper than water
It looks like a nice quality. Here I have to wait for dry weather again in order to get third cut. Hopefully next week. Will you be getting a next cut from the fields?
It was okay 😉 hh, send some rain over here then, we need it 😀 yes 😉
I dont think I have seen you use that silage wagon before I thaught it was a bailer at first .The land looks so pretty when you are mowing I would have loved to have hunted the woods. Can you guys have a rifle to hunt with where you are.
We need tons of premisions to hunt and license for weapons. Weapons are expensive and hard to get too.
Yeah we're using it a lot 😉 oh we have plenty of game, especially deere but very few hunters and as Filip 10 said, you can't hunt if you ain't a member of hunting society.
All that good game and noone but the rich can get any
How is the corn at your place? Can you fill all your silos with the cornsilage soon? Great Video as always :D
Its okay, given the growing conditions we have... Maybe another month before we chop it all, we'll see... Thanks 🙂
Odličen video, bi mi lahko samo povedal koliko ha travnika ter njiv imate? Hvala. Samo tako naprej
19 ha travnikov in 3 ha njiv 😉
Koliko treba da ti odstoji senaza u silosu da bi je koristio posle?
Which tractor do you like as far as operating, ease of maintenance? The john deere or the deutz fahr?
John Deere, I think 😉
Hi, I'm Ioan from Romania, a farmer with dairy cows. I sympathize with what work Titanica puts in to make food for cows and I have 27 cows + youth up to 60 and I know what it's like to shoot every day I live in the plain area and I'm already tired, I'm thinking how can you resist blowing so much, at what price is the milk?
Nice 🙂 Milk is around 0,30 € here.
Au druze, pa ti si sve sam odradio, svaka ti cast, vredan si kao mrav. Ima li neko da ti malo pomogne, ili su na odmoru 😉?
Hh hvala ali nisam bio sam, tata i djed su pomogli 😁
Pridni💪
Oh how do you think that new pit will be for you?
It will be very useful, we have already put in almost the entire third cut, which would otherwise be baled.
Cornsilage on top of the grass silage in each of the 3 bunks?
Yes 😉
Lovely Video again!
What is the weather doing?
Thanks 🙂 oh it's dry again and it was around 35 °C when I filmed this (too bad we don't have roof over silo yet, for shade 😅). We are hoping to get at least some showers but for some reason they keep avoiding our area 🙄 which isn't all that bad as we can have some pretty strong storms... 😆
@@farmerspov4709 we have more than enough rain 🙈
I would send you a few liters if i could!
Yeah I bet 🙄
I have a question:
How old is your 5085m?
Nice grass cutting job it does!
It's 5 years old now.
Oh ok nice
How far do you have fields from the farm? Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Most of them are under 1 km but some are up to 4 kilometers away 😉
hello when will the new video be released
Today or tomorrow hopefully 😉
Reci mi samo nešto u vezi mašine kojom guraš silažu,na Fiatu.Ko je proizvođač?Pozdrav
Proizvodi ga Reck Agrartechnik, model Plantar 😉
Kukuruz ne deluje los ,dobijao si kise,kad ce silaza ?
Odlican klip poz.😉
Pa je sasvim u redu, s obzirom na ovogodišnju situaciju... Ne znam, verovatno ne još nekoliko nedelja, možda mesec dana 🤔 Hvala 🙂
@@farmerspov4709 tako sam i mislio ti si kasnije sejao zbog nadmorske visine ,ja sam zavrsio silazu prosle nedelje zbog suse dva meseca nije pala kisa prinos 30t silaze na hektar
How to seal silage bunker?
We do it with bags filled with sand.
@@farmerspov4709 ok but next time make complete video, how to seal silage bunker
Zašto silose ne napuniš do kraja? Nego samk do pola??
Dopunit ćemo ga kukuruzom 😉
john kupljen pti slogi , merks? katera guma pa je na ležiščih, kateri proizvajalec lp hvala.
Da. Gume na ležiščih so Kraiburg.
Živ.... a da bi pa na john deere-a prvo hidravliko dau, pa se eno kusilnco da bi hitrej pokosil, a jih nebi pelou????
Na določenih travnikih težko oziroma zelo počasi...

Za to se vedno najde čas 😀
what dimensions are the silos?
20 m x 4,3 m x 2,5 m
Hi👋,
Ich glaube du solltest einen Traktor mit Front Hydraulik und Front zapfwelle kaufen damit du mit Front und Heckmähwerk mähen kannst👍
Ich schlage dir für deinen Betrieb einen Claas Elios 230 vor😉👍
Hallo. Ja, vielleicht in der zukunft.
Ein bauer in der nähe benutzt einen Claas Elios, der sieht aus wie ein toller traktor 👍
Juhu super👍
Dann könntest du ja theoretisch deinen deutz und deinen John deere verkaufen und somit den claas elios kaufen mit allem drum und dran dann sparst du dir Platz und musst nicht immer in den anderen Traktor umsteigen 👍👍😜
Haha, ja, theoretisch... 😁
you ara a slovenian
Yes 😉
a tu si kosiu 2 al 3
Tretjo 😉
zakaj pr jonu blatnike odsravfas
Da ne drgnejo po steni silosa
How come you were alone for all the jobs? Would save you a lot of time if someone helped you 🙂
Oh I wasn't, my dad and grandad helped 😉
@@farmerspov4709 Yep, but I meant in the beginning when you were jumping in and out of tractors :D. Were they busy elsewhere?
@@peroklinkon oh, yes, my dad was raking and grandad had some other things to attend to 😉
@@farmerspov4709 ooh I understand, thank you 🙂
Krasen video, zdaj pa še silozi čakajo samo koruzo pa bojo top 👌
Hvala, tako! 😀👍
