Nice job fixing the lights Jaron - I would really like to see you guys wear safety classes when jumping the batteries - you saw the sparks. If a bad cell (hydrogen) is around, you can have an explosion and get acid thrown at your eyes. Blessings!
physiologically- was the word you struggled with :) Nice job with the harvest, I've watched all of ypur clips, and really enjoy it. What about that spoiled corn on top of the pile? Do you discard that while feeding out, or mix in? Is that alfalfa opened from the side not going to go off from oxygen exposure? We have limited space on our siage pad and are hesitant to make one big corn silage pile and feed half width. We are much smaller dairy than you, and I am afraid that exposed side of pile would yeild too much spoled silage. We don't own a defacer, just a bucket with a grab on in, it leaves silage face similar to silage rake. Greetings from Poland :)
We do not feed the mold on top and sides . We had about 50 tons of garbage from the top and sides . And then another 50-100 tons that we faced off and put in a pile for the heifers . (Not moldy , just not good smell and a little heating) . I didn't used to like splitting the piles either , but the taller the pile, the higher the density is . The higher the density is the lower the shrink is on the whole pile . Can't get tall enough to get the height without going wide enough . That's what I tell myself when we are facing the mold and spoilage off to justify splitting the piles. We also don't have any extra square feet to make smaller piles that we don't have to split.
missed your videos :) glad to see you back
Nice video farmers
Thanks 👍

I agree with you , should wear safety glasses .
