    Awesome looking tractor Eric. Good luck with it. Another bunk or 2 would seem to me be the most economical and much less susceptible to weather (wind, tornados, etc) and you don't have to climb them, maintain the unloaders or "level them off". Great video today.

      As a guy who has to work bunks (ours are 3 to 400ft by 200ft) that are almost 30 40ft high, the amount of spoilage we have is unreal on top of that the risk of a pile cave in or slip and fall risk makes you wonder how many times your gonna get lucky I wish we could just blue tooth the feed into the cows stomachs lol

    There must be a monster engine on that silage blower. I can not believe how much triticale it can take or how fast it runs. If I tried that, I'd spend the next few hours unplugging the pipe. Unfortunately, I have a lot of experience doing that. Great video Eric. I imagine being so busy, the time really flies by.

      I think the same thing every time that blower shows up. I think Eric had said a while back that the custom operator had built the thing. I am also impressed when they are positioning it and connecting the pipe that it is also self propelled and they do not need a tractor to maneuver it into place.

    I like how clean you keep the farm. Lots of farms around me are just a mess with old equipment discarded everywhere, overgrown grass, mud from end to end, etc. Now you just have to get an automated washing machine for the cows. A farm near me installed one a few years ago and claimed their yields went up, infection and pest management better controlled, etc.

You have satisfied my 50 some year-old brain on being a farmer of any sort let alone dairy, I am living vicariously somewhat through your vision of a 10th Gen dairy farmer. Thank you for what you do, and I have to say as someone who works with building automation systems keep going with the robots/digital automation of your farm it will help you in the future in my opinion for what's it worth. I also want to thank your father he obviously has had some influence on your outlook of life and your work ethic, I get some hope for our future seeing the next generation of adults actually adulting, but then again it might just be my aging brain.

    When I was 16 or 17 years old I was cutting and hauling corn silage with a G John Deere. I was pulling two wagons at a time hauling it back and forth to the farm and field. A bolt that connects the steering worked loose and caught on the hood of the tractor causing me to hit an embankment breaking the front of the tractor off. The loaded silage wagons pushed the tractor sideways blowing both back tires and tearing the front end of the first wagon out. When I hit the embankment it threw me up out of the seat. Both of my legs hit the steering wheel keeping me from being thrown off the tractor. Luckily it didn’t break my legs. Farming is a very dangerous lifestyle/profession but I enjoy it very much.

    Eric, this is one of my favorite videos that you film each year. I grew up working on a dairy farm doing "old school" baling of small alfalfa bales and chopping silage. I was the stacker in the mow and wore holes in the knee of every pair of jeans I ever owned! ;-) I looked forward eagerly to Memorial Day weekend as the traditional start of "hay season."
    Nobody I knew ever grew triticale; it was alfalfa / clover all the way. My grandparents used to fill (2) 70" Harvestore and ran high-moisture corn in the smaller 40' Harvestore.

    I did not know that crop triticale was grown to that extent. Beautiful. I had used triticale as a flour in years past.

    Awesome video! I think this might be my fourth spring harvest with you. Regarding the silo and unloader; it's too bad you can't run that without the auger active...and then maybe with the addition of some metal paddles...you just let it rotate to level the silage itself.

    Great video, lots of different things going on. I love the music you use while running drone footage!
