    11:30 at night after working all day, the last thing I would want to do is climb an 80 foot silo. But you do what has to be done. Well done, sir.

    Whenever someone, usually a younger person, says "cows give us milk" I suggest we watch a few vids from your channel to see how hard dairy farmers work to provide for the cows. Great vid as always....the chores never cease.

    It's amazing to see how much has changed since I started watching your channel three years ago, Eric. I've learned a lot watching your videos over the years. For example in what places to find mountain dew. Or that you should always take a manure scraper with you when going on the ice. Always love the little humorous parts.
    Keep up the good work Eric! We should really thank God for hard workers like you.

    You sir have succeeded in producing a really detailed and high quality video on the start to finish process of harvesting haylage. So if my calculations are correct you & your dad just put in about an 18 hour day of hard work to make sure your cows get quality feed. So they will produce quality milk for all of us to enjoy. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. And for the extra care and effort you put into making these high quality videos. I am now going to enjoy a glass of cold milk with my pie. Have a blessed day!

      You have seen the green build up on lawn mower blades, the same thing will happen to the paddles on the blower. A little water will remove that build up, which is lignin, and lets the green chopped hay slide off the paddles with out any sticking.

Our neighbor need air bags replaced, one sat evening the harvestore mech walk into the parlor and announced the bags were changed. The neighbor went white!! How did you do that? The silo is empty! The mechanic was walking on a 3ft crust at the top of the silo-80 ft in the air. Then he went white too.
