- The time has finally come to harvest the maize silage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey I’m Andrew The Once A Day Farmer, follow me as I post videos of my daily farm life milking 320 jersey cows in beautiful New Zealand.
The cows are almost on a all grass system with a bit of supplement to allow for our hot dry summers.
I farm with my father on our family dairy farm making me the 4th Generation to farm here.

3:18 I’m from Ireland to it’s a great country
1st time seeing your videos and what a great one to start with!!! From 🇮🇪 so can relate to your farming and country’s ways 😃😍👍🏻 AND I’m also from Cork!!!
Awesome thanks man! 👍
Awesome video super drone shots
Those drivers have some awesome skills! Impressive.
Plenty to eat for those great jerseys
Cool video
Amazing video!!!

Great to see sid Still at it!
Haha yeah mate, he’s got a few years left in him yet 👍
Yes there are people from germany watching ☺
Awesome! 👌
Sidney and Dennis did not seem too keen on being UA-cam famous. lol.
Great drone shots. Really captured the harvest magic!!
Haha yeah they were a bit camera shy! Thanks for watching 👍
Great 👍 Drone View 👍 keep it up bro ✌
Cheers mate 👌
That’s the winter feed sorted then nice job
Next summers feed, I don’t feed any supplement through the winter (there will be hay feed this winter tho)
Very good shots with the drone. I seen an interesting way on how to cover your bunker from an American UA-cam channel they lined the outside of the walls with wrap and then when the stack is done you could pull the sides of the wrap over top of your maize/silage then it was properly sealed around the edges and had minimal wastage pretty interestinf
Yeah it reckon that’s the ideal way to do it aye, I might give it a go next time
when the maize is nearly ready it seems like it takes forverrr to dry :(
You can't go at silage with out the Irish turning up
I see you do it like here in America. So different than when I was a kid growing up on a dairy farm in Southern California until the age of 10. They only had grain when milking.
Fantastic Video!!!!
Thanks 👍

seems to work great, twin row! what is the yield increase... and what density do you seed? nice to see how you work at the other side of the world. funny because spring is on his way here in France
Good question, but I’m not sure if there was any difference to be honest, it was pretty similar to other years yields, plant at 95,000/ha. Thanks for watching 👍
U good farmers 🐄🇳🇿
Hey are you a rugby fan?? My nephew is the captain of Atlanta and they just signed a player from New Zealand and his living with my nephew!! My nephew played against New Zealand last year at the World Cup for Canada!!
Yep I’m definitely a rugby fan, and that’s awesome about your nephew, he must be pretty good!
kiwis and Canadians are pretty similar type of people I hope the guys do well
I'm from Pakistan sir really i like NZ i love s much NZ country
Fendt used to use Deutz motors,but have gone to the low revving MAN engine.
It weighs 13 tons.
I have the same tractor and it is using only 4 l/ha on Kverneland 10.4 M triple mower/groupers.
It ticks over at 650 rpm.
Yeah it’s pretty efficient alright! Where are you farming?
@@TheOnceADayFarmer contracting in S.Island.
I cut 4,000 ha per year with two sets of triple mowers.
Ahh nice that's a fair bit of work. That tractor usually goes on the triples as well. Thanks for watching !
A Bayern boy in New Zealand, lucky guy!! What does it cost you to get that team into do everything for you?? Do you chop at your father farm to??
Haven’t got the bill yet, but the cost to grow & harvest is roughly .21cents /kgDM.
Yes it’s on his farm 👍
Great job.first time I see the twin roll. On corn silege.so how many plants per hectare there ? Here in santa catarina state ,brasil we work with 80000 seeds per hec.
I plant at 95,000/ha which is probably on the lower side.
Do you put a cover over the pke or is it an issue if it gets rained on
I don’t during the summer but if there’s a bit of rain coming I do, so I’ll cover it now till the end of the season
Do you need driver for jaguar?
Do u put an additive on the maize
Yes, I’m not sure what it is called tho, the contractor sorts it out
Machines in the mist
Hi from Brazil. How many acres do you plant with corn?
I grow 5 hectares of maize
The Irish bucks are everywhere, the right lads for a bit of hard work 💪🏼🇮🇪
👍👍🤙
안녕하세요. Hello. 여기는 대한민국 입니다. This is South Korea. Good video well watched. Put a present and go. Bye-bye.
Thanks 👍
How many acres do you crop I have 400 owned and 150 rented
I just plant 12 acres of maize. The farms about 250 acres all up
Hay im from Germany nice to a german driver dowen in nz
👋 we get the odd one down here 👍
@@TheOnceADayFarmer one day i want to visit new zeeland it 's a amazing contry
I’m sure you’ll get here one day! Where do you live in Germany ?
@@TheOnceADayFarmer near of Köln in Nordrhein-Westfalen
congratulations , how many hectares are planted with corn?
I usually plant 5ha
@@TheOnceADayFarmer so that crop was 100 tonnes from five hectares which is 20 tonne per hectare here in lreland where I have maize it usually yields around 50 tonne per hectare any idea why there's such a massive difference?
I think it yielded about 23t/ha but I was talking dry matter sorry, would probably be pretty similar to yours as I assume your talking wet weight??
@@TheOnceADayFarmer so 23tonnes dry matter per hectare at about 33%dry matter would give you 70 tonnes full cut weight which is very impressive compared to the 50tonnes full cut weight and 20tonnes dry matter per hectare here in Ireland
Sorry that's more like 17tonnes dry matter per hectare at 33% of 50tonnes.
how many hectares of maize was that?
Its 5 hectares
@@TheOnceADayFarmer oh sweet as
Do u and ur dad have a herd of cows and a farm off land each Andrew
We manage a herd each, same farm 👍
Where is James from in County Tyrone
Not to sure man, I'll have to get back to you on that one
@@TheOnceADayFarmer Thanks Andrew, I'm also from Co. Tyrone. Also love the videos mate keep them up! Hopefully can get back out to NZ when this Covid is over and get out to my uncles farm over there or maybe go to a contractor. If I remember right my Uncle is somewhere near Te Awamutu. Are you anywhere near TA?
Thanks man much appreciated 👍 yep TA is my local town only just down the road
@@TheOnceADayFarmer What a coincidence😄 Have you ever heard of Bushy Downs Herefords?
Yep I have heard of them 👍 there out ngaroma I think
How many hectares of maize do you do per cow? Can you speak a bit more about de diet, the amount of silage you give your cows and the amount of milk they produce? i'm seriouly thinking on replace my holstein for jersey the cost of buying concentrate is killing me
