      I just wish he had the same number of subscribers as “Mr Beast” Eric is a very good farmer. To work the cow side, then the field side and build a house and have 3 children in 2 years. The guy is an overachiever. I am thoroughly impressed.

      Greetings Miss Marie! I have seen your comments here and in a few other farming channels and I very much appreciate your positive words. Being a part of Two Faming Families, I'm sure you have seen and experienced a ton over the years! Wondering if you had UA-cam back in the day...would you have considered having your own channel? I believe it would have been a Winner Too! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

      Back in my time, I am 85 we put up oats like that. But we handled it very gently as not to shake off any grain in the field. Mowed it with a windrower without the conditioner then picked it up directly with the chopper after it dried the proper state. You didn't show how much grain was left on the field after you picked the forage.

    From a fellow pa dairy farmer who just mowed and chopped their wheat and rye 2 days ago for the 28th year I would say that yall did a great job. Also as I get older I can't even climb our 60ft ss silos. Now I have to hire young people to come and do it for me.

    From a non- farmer. I am a huge fan kiddo. A retired carpenter, 70 y.o. too. Your content is so good, but this is great. Concrete is still curing in that silo and it’s already being used. Cutting, spreading and rowing ( for the lack of know proper terminology), this very educational stuff you are putting out for us farmer ignorant.
    Keep up the great content, kiddo.
    Love harvest time.

    Proud of you and your dad. That's not a good word to use but it is the only one I could think of to tell you that it feels so good to see you succeed !! Big bucks, giant commitment, enormous amount of research, negotiation and worrying. Finally, it felt so good to see you at the top of the new silo feeling good about working hard and finally reaping the benefits. One of your best videos. You could have run on for another 45 mins with such Good News.

  • @neillouise7533

    That's fantastic! It's clear your family's farm has thrived through generations of hard work. Growing farms, expanding silos - that's a testament to your dedication and innovation. Subcontracting some tasks out is a smart move too, freeing you both up to focus on the bigger picture.
    And as for the future outlook, well, that sounds like it's in good hands.
    Eric, you are the internal optimist. You always see the silo half full.

    Really exiting for a fellow dairy farmer to fill his silo for the first time. We’re just waiting to cut hay til it drys up a bit, it’s been so wet lately. I’m not gonna complain though because of the drought we had last year In Wisconsin. Been really cool to watch the silo building process come about.

    From Michigan here...been watching your videos off and on and think you do a superb job filming. Going into enough detail but stopping before it gets boring. Beings I have worked on a number of similar sized dairy farms and done much of the same things you are doing, I haven't been a regular viewer or subscriber. However with your recent changes and building upright silos (which I think is phenomenal as you are bucking the trend of going almost exclusively to bunkers and realizing and maximizing the pros of the upright silo) as well as looking forward to the robot feeding system, you have more than earned my sub and I will be watching with baited breath along with everyone else.👍😄

    Truck driver here: We were always taught to let the engine idle for 3-4 minutes before shutting it down to let all the internal parts reach the same temperature as well as to let the turbo wind down while still being lubricated by the engine oil. Shouldn't be any need to open the hood, but I'm sure that doesn't hurt anything.

    Awesome video again! Great extra info on the process! Thanks for all the effort on the video even during a very busy start to harvest. Cheers from Morgantown 👍

    I could not believe that blower chucked the feed up the high. Unbelievable. I liked it when you opened up the door on top and got flooded with feed. One heck of a blower. You and your dad made a good choice in silos for your feed. I can hardly wait to see the process for the automated feeders, the future holds a lot of videos from you and I'm hoping to see them all.

    Glad to see it’s working out for you. That feed will make a lot of milk. 💪🏼🥛
