I was amazed by how brilliantly the bunker-filling process was choreographed from the the non-stop harvesters to the plastic rolling and tire stackers! Plus I want to applaud you for your wonderful editing, especially how you master the sound so that you don't hurt our ears with sudden spikes in volume from saws and loud equipment. Your channel deserves an award for presentation and content! Bravo!!💗
Filling all three in one go is setting yourselves a big challenge. Great to see all that winter feed secured. And not forgetting the other people who are doing the milking etc. all this while.
Eric I have watched every video that you’ve posted to UA-cam long time fan of you and your father and I would just like to say I couldn’t be prouder of the job that you and your father do, both you and your father are prime examples of what hard-working decent people can accomplish, while being so beneficial to others as well. Keep up the good work and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Even though I have watch this harvest for several years, I always enjoy seeing the teamwork it takes to get the harvest completed. Excellent explanation of what is happening!
Corn silage harvest is my absolute favorite video! Your harvest company is fast & efficient. You and your family are great too. Top notch equipment & a beautiful crop. I'm glad you talked about the toxic gases!
Back in the day when we still had our dairy I remember the bunker getting filled with chopped corn and that unique smell as the D-8 Cat pushed and packed the silage down making sure it would be ready for winter. Then when the snow was flying the cows were so happy to get that steaming hot silage to warm them. Thanks for the memories. It makes me want to milk a cow. LOL.
0:15 Great job capturing the efficiency of modern harvesting techniques! It's always inspiring to see how technology is transforming farming. Keep up the awesome content!
Thank you for posting this process. I live in a rural area with dairy cattle and have always wondered about silage. There is a lot of corn grown in my area and I see the harvesters working in various fields, collecting crops. I am pretty familiar with hay production,but you have shown me another product. Thanks for your hard work and efficiency!
The amazing scene of the harvester throwing the chaff from the field directly into the bunk. That's what catched my attention on the thumbnail and after that I just kept watching every video of this channel as soon as they were launched. Regards from Brazil!
Talk about hard working 24 hour crews it was like a machine. Thank goodness there was no rain and everything worked perfectly. Changing and odd tire in the middle of the night. I knew they could do it. All done until next year. Thanks Eric and family plus the harvesting crews. Amazing work.
Amazing video Eric! Congratulations on getting the corn silage completed. Excellent custom crew! Great work by everyone. Lovely Versatile. Thanks for the video!
Wow Eric! You and your family have taken corn silage harvest to a whole new level! Tremendous video footage including detailed audio! Congratulations and job well done. Back in the 80’s when I was dairy farming. Bunker storage was kind of frowned on because there tended to be a lot of spoiled feed. However the way you are using the plastic liners and inoculates. Along with your incredible fast harvesting team. You have really transformed bunker storage into cost a effective feed storage system. Compare your system to vertical storage silos. And I don’t think there is any way that you could have harvested 3,000 tons and blew it into vertical storage in 24 hours. Plenty of good feed now for the girls going into winter. God’s blessings….and now get some sleep😊
Love your Chanel. I’m learning a bunch about dairy farming. Great videography Eric. I want to complement you for your wholesome character. I can leave my grandkids watching & not have to worry about crude comments, or foul & vulgar language. You & your family are a class act. Thanks Eric.
Your Dad has added quite a few more gray hairs since you started this channel, and I hope he'll stay healthy and strong for many more decades yet. Kudos to you all for a well done job. The cows are happy, you are happy and we are definitely very happy to watch you all work and toil. 🙂
Fantastic harvest video Eric! You hit all the old favorite highlights and added a couple new ones! Glad you got it done and that it was a productive season.
Something so satisfying about watching this harvesting. It's got to be a great and reassuring feeling to have the bunks full of silage, almost like having money in the bank... Thanks for your great videos, Eric.
Running 24 hours straight is really putting in a days work! You have a great crew to work with, and you stay with them. Excellent video, and amazing job.
Hi Eric. it is interesting to watch different farm operations. Your bunk solutions are very different from the other farms I watch over in the UK. And your solutions seem a lot better thought out and efficient and useful to protect the silage in the bunk. I think your model could be duplicated on other farms to better their operations.
Fantastic, very well done to all of you. I love your videos and have been watching for about 4 years. I love watching what goes on on your farm and the variety of jobs you have to do, not just the farming side of it.
The most exciting time of the year on the farm, harvest season!!! Also super impressive the chopping team was able to find a new tire at 3am in the middle of no where, and have it installed in 30 mins or so.... that's pretty freaking cool.
I've watched your harvesting process a number of times. I'm still amazed by how organized you and the crews are at getting the bunkers filled and covered. It's a well choreographed process. I enjoyed the music also. Stay safe.
Congratulations on the excellent harvest given the dry times the US had this year! Oh, I like your yearly tradition of shooting the corn into the bunker closest to the fields!
Can't believe it's the fifth corn silage season already. Been following your channel for the past 4 years and I'm always looking forward to new videos. Great job once again with this one. I was also thinking. Would it be a cool idea to make a compilation of best/funniest moments for new years eve for example? I would like that. If you end up making such a video, you know that the dairyman ice slip save definetely has to be in there😁.
there is so much effort and coordination over such a small period of time!! you guys grew for so long just to bang this work out in a day! incredible how well you guys work and that the people even got a new tire at 3am!!
Hi Eric! Make sure you get those panels cleaned to get the most kWh out of them! I'm about to go into my masters (4th and final) year of Renewable Energy Engineering at university so I'm very happy to see you get them installed. I was thinking of messaging you a year or two ago to offer to do a mock solar design for your buildings - glad to see you came up with the idea too. Would like to have the solar PV topic come up more in future videos. All the best.
Very well done to all the guy's and girls great job everyone .Eric you look tired and happy very nice to have this years corn harvest done .Great video as well all the best to you and family
Congratulations to you and to all your crew for another successful harvest It looks fun and easy on video but I'm sure it's a lot of work on few hours of sleep. A standing ovation for you all!!! Thanks as always for creating content and greetings from El Paso, TX!
Glad you got them filled just about full. Hope you have plenty until next harvest. Great vid. It looks like you and your crew have everything squared away on the process.
I’m so thankful for the blessing of your good harvests. Each one is a tribute to faith, hard word and the faithfulness of the Lord. And thanks for sharing! It’s done for another year!🎉🎉😅
Thanks Eric for sharing your life experiences and family business. Watching your videos is always an enjoyable and learning experience! Here's wishing you and your family all the best and continued success in all you do. Simply put, thanks for sharing your life with us! 👍
Around 55-58 yrs ago my Dad was helping my uncle pack silage and Dad tipped the tractor over backwards !!! He didn't get hurt they turned the tractor over and kept on working !!!
Thanks for a fantastic video of this very big operation. I have seen this done a few times but not on this very big scale. Everything is timing and you folks sure did a great job. The chopper operator and the whole crew are real professionals for sure.
Awesome photography! Great video! I really enjoy watching your videos. Your dedication and passion for dairy farming really shows. Can't wait till the next video! Thank You!
Amazing TEAMWORK!!! Great video.Awesome that your neighbor has some extra feed to sell you to fill your silo. Your community is what the.American spirit is. God Bless.
Wow, great vid...I will never use dairy products again without thinking of what it takes to make it happen...thanks to your informative and thorough presentation...and entertaining watching eric work..lol...thank you ...
Great job Eric. I could watch this all day long. Is that your brothers and sisters that help you with the silage… Great job with the video and the editing also. Thanks for sharing.
When we were in the dairy business in the 60s and 70s we had a two row corn chopper and two carts. Some of our fields were several miles away and one person did the cutting and hauling to a fifty foot upright silo. It would probably take us a month to chop that much silage and put it away. We used to store our silage in an in ground pit that didn’t have concrete sides. We had one cow that would stand at the base of our upright silo and lick the juices oozing out and she would basically get drunk.
Eric, I have enjoyed all of your videos. I do not know why, but this was the best. Lots of hard work covering the silage, but it looks like you had a great team.
How many hours a year does that harvester run? That is one great operator to handle a tire blowout like that! No matter what he charges it isn't enough!
I was amazed by how brilliantly the bunker-filling process was choreographed from the the non-stop harvesters to the plastic rolling and tire stackers! Plus I want to applaud you for your wonderful editing, especially how you master the sound so that you don't hurt our ears with sudden spikes in volume from saws and loud equipment. Your channel deserves an award for presentation and content! Bravo!!💗
Basics to make a really good video is present it like you do in an essay for a job description title, body,and ending to it too
Pl
i have a question , approx how many cubic feet of silage will each of the bunkers hold?
Filling all three in one go is setting yourselves a big challenge. Great to see all that winter feed secured. And not forgetting the other people who are doing the milking etc. all this while.
😢
Hi Hillo my name is Sohail I need Jobe four this

I am always shocked, that it is this time of the year again, time goes by so fast, didn't they just fill their bunkers...?
Watching corn silage for 4 years now
Still satisfying to watch
Been waiting all year for this video Eric! Thank you for feeding America with your family and also this wonderful relaxing content.

So fascinating to watch this process. Thank you, Eric for sharing your farm life. 👏
Very Impressive operation; beautiful harvest; Synchronized Teamwork! I never get tired of watching this family's dairy. Congratulations!!
Eric, I live for that yearly shot of the chopper shooting straight into the bunk. Why? I have no idea. 😂 Congrats on another wonderful harvest.
Great harvest! People from the suburbs don't have any idea what goes on at farms. Thanks for teaching us. You're doing excellent work.
Eric, always amazing how everything comes together. The teamwork was great. It was nice seeing the young ones willing to help and work hard.
I’ve watched this process for several years it seems here…it never gets old! Thanks.🙏🇺🇸
0:15 Great job capturing the efficiency of modern
harvesting techniques! It's always inspiring to see how technology is transforming farming.

Filling 3 bunks in one session is a MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT & takes good coordination from the whole team
A very well planned operation by all. I see why you outsource the harvesting. You did an excellent job producing this video.
I remember the days when we chopped with a 2 row pull type chopper. Do not missed those days
@@matthewwiersma2732hard work, I guess.
Amazing video Eric! Congratulations on getting the corn silage completed. Excellent custom crew! Great work by everyone. Lovely Versatile. Thanks for the video!

The corn silage harvest is my favorite 10th Gen. video each year! Thank you again for all your hard work 👏🌽🐮.

Like an airport traffic controller, knowing where everything is, where it is going and what happens next. The planning is incredible.

Fantastic, very well done to all of you. I love your videos and have been watching for about 4 years. I love watching what goes on on your farm and the variety of jobs you have to do, not just the farming side of it.
I just absolutely love the efficiency and how organized you guys have things on the farm. It’s never easy but you guys seem to have it down
The most exciting time of the year on the farm, harvest season!!! Also super impressive the chopping team was able to find a new tire at 3am in the middle of no where, and have it installed in 30 mins or so.... that's pretty freaking cool.
Sitting in my cubicle at the office, I love this time of year! Great video. It must feel great to have those bunks filled.
Great family business! Good to see the sisters hard at work!
I've watched your harvesting process a number of times. I'm still amazed by how organized you and the crews are at getting the bunkers filled and covered. It's a well choreographed process. I enjoyed the music also. Stay safe.
Appreciate the explanation of your plastic covering your bunks…and the use of your sand bags and culvert pipe to protect your plastic from rips
Such a good feeling, having that done ready for winter. Proud of you
Congratulations on the excellent harvest given the dry times the US had this year! Oh, I like your yearly tradition of shooting the corn into the bunker closest to the fields!
I’ve watched this process for several years it seems here…it never gets old! Thanks.🙏🇺🇸
Eric , you should have a picnic for everyone that help out getting the silage and milking done for this winter.
Can't believe it's the fifth corn silage season already. Been following your channel for the past 4 years and I'm always looking forward to new videos. Great job once again with this one.

The efficiency is staggering! Well done.
Your harvest crew is amazing. Can’t imagine how many it takes on that crew to run round the clock!!
Professionally done erick. Great work. No wasted motion.
there is so much effort and coordination over such a small period of time!! you guys grew for so long just to bang this work out in a day! incredible how well you guys work and that the people even got a new tire at 3am!!

Man that back up GENERATOR system just Rocks in my book. Leave it to a farmer to use brilliant ideas for emergency power systems 😊 excellent
I love the Clarity of all your comments, well worth watching , thank you
What an accomplishment in such a short amount of time. CONGRATULATIONS crew!!
This is the 4th or 5th silage harvest I've watched. Thanks brother for all of these videos!
Love the smell of silage. It's great your video's show what it takes to farm.
Glad you got them filled just about full. Hope you have plenty until next harvest. Great vid. It looks like you and your crew have everything squared away on the process.
I played farming simulator 2015 on the PS3, and my favorite thing to do was to pack and sell silage. this is great to learn and watch. Thank you
That's called gettin' after it and gettin' the job done! I'm sure everybody wants tired, but it's done. Way to go!
I’m so thankful for the blessing of your good harvests. Each one is a tribute to faith, hard word and the faithfulness of the Lord. And thanks for sharing! It’s done for another year!🎉🎉😅
I just wanna say that the drone shots and the videos are just looking a lot better. Keep up what you doing.
very cool video, nice editing, loved the drone footage, i got slightly exhausted just watching all this work happening lol
Chopping and bunker filling ballet! Fascinating process.
Praise God Eric for his blessings in corn growth & good yields!
Thank you and your family for feeding America
Thanks Eric for sharing your life experiences and family business. Watching your videos is always an enjoyable and learning experience! Here's wishing you and your family all the best and continued success in all you do. Simply put, thanks for sharing your life with us! 👍
Mymymy very good job!! lots of hard labor went into the harvest!! God Bless!!
Whenever I get into my two month annual re-interest in farming this guy is always the first channel I go to
Love the teamwork and how the whole family gets involved
Around 55-58 yrs ago my Dad was helping my uncle pack silage and Dad tipped the tractor over backwards !!! He didn't get hurt they turned the tractor over and kept on working !!!
I love these videos and how well and efficient you guys worked, thanks for keeping America fed
We thank all farmers!
I sure enjoy your videos! I’ve been watching them since you started I don’t think there is a single one I’ve not seen. Keep them coming!
Silage 2023🎉. Congratulations, always a big annual event for your business.

Waited four years to see the chopper offload straight into the bunk again…🎉😂🎉 best ASMR of harvest, in my opinion.
👌🇬🇧😎🇺🇸🤘m-E-m
Another amazing video Eric, so comprehensive. Everything is so well coordinated and you explain clearly what is happening.. Great job!!!
Glad to see you got the EPIC drone shot this year!
My favorite time of the year to watch your channel.
12:48 The money shot we wait for all year lol
I take my hat off to all of you guys. Filling all 3 bunkers and still having all the rest of the farm work to do (milking cows, feeding)
Love to see that Klaas harvester at work. Outstanding equipment.
Great job Eric. I could watch this all day long. Is that your brothers and sisters that help you with the silage… Great job with the video and the editing also. Thanks for sharing.
i bet the naps will feel much better after a long haul !!!!
One of the best videos made in a while great job 😂😂😂

Eric, I have enjoyed all of your videos. I do not know why, but this was the best. Lots of hard work covering the silage, but it looks like you had a great team.
This is on my bucket list to help with at least once in my life. love these harvest videos
I love these videos. I don’t know why but it’s very satisfying watching the bunkers fill and the whole process. Excellent videos 😁
How many hours a year does that harvester run? That is one great operator to handle a tire blowout like that! No matter what he charges it isn't enough!
