Pretty cool video, my University is trying out planting BMR sorghum sudan grass and intercropping soybeans for more protein. Should be interesting to see what happens
Dad and I grow this in Western Nebraska. Rotate it in with wheat to help with weed control and Mello the ground for notill. Works great for feeding cows in the dead of winter.
Now that is some impressive forage. Nice tractor and mower combo too, and it looks like he's laying it down fast. And the best part: WIDE SWATHS!! Letting it dry properly! Looks like it will make a great crop of feed. I wonder how much field of view he has looking out over that stuff?
Mike, i loved both the fan jokes. And the Global Warming one reminded me that here in the orchards of Washington State, we use fans to avoid Local Cooling! Cold air pools in deep mountain valleys on clear nights and can damage the crop. Giant fans are used to blow the cold air off the orchards. I know it will be a cold morning when I can hear all the nearby fans blowing at 5AM.
last year we made two cuttings off of ours first cutting was as tall as our tractor and second was about 3 feet tall but we had great rains last year this year we’ve gotten two cutting and hoping for a third but when it gets about 38 degrees it gets frosted and becomes toxic
Such a fascinating video. I live in the Sumas Prairie, and my neighbor plants triticale. This is the first time I have heard of Sorghum Sudan Grass. Do you have a link to the video of it being chopped?
"Big fans" -- Where I live used to grow citrus. If the temperature drops below 28F the crop will freeze. All the flowers will drop off any won't mature into oranges, or the oranges will drop off before maturing. To prevent this they had "wind machines" which were big electric fans on tall poles to keep the air stirred up in the groves.
Should face those giant fans towards the sky so they blow the hot air back towards the sun..Sad part is there's not enough giant fans on earth to blow away washington's hot air..lol
whit what your saying about the sorghum then i wouldn't be surprised to see it replace corn for silage within that region as it seems to be much easier to handle and better for the environment as it doesn't needs chemicals
Curious about the cutting pattern, is there a specific reason it had to be back and forth like that? Most farmers around me cut it in a continuous pattern by starting on the outside and working their way in. Having to constantly turn around, lift, then reset the cutters height on every pass is mighty inefficient.
With a triple mower why are we still talking about efficiency? Also the mower auto adjusts height and carries a crusher at the back which speeds up the drying process. This setup is all about efficiency.
@@xSCHEF I am referring to fuel efficiency, by lifting, turning, and then heading back the same way, he is burning fuel turning around and wasting time, thus killing time efficiency also. It sorta negates the reason behind the efficient cutters. I am asking the question if there is a specific reason for making the turn and interupted straight cuts neccesary. This is the idea behind industrial engineering, reduction of movements, cutting 10 seconds off a process here and 10 seconds there was the reason Ford became such a powerhouse and enabled his company to mass produce Model T cars. It is somewhat an off chute of my previous job where I was paid by the job, and not the hour meaning that if I could turn a job that normally would take 2 hours into 1.5 hours, I could fit 1 or 2 more jobs in per day, making more money.
@@southronjr1570 Since you are an expert in the matter, I would suggest you posting a video of you and your triple mower being more efficient. Would be beneficial for all, I am sure you would agree.
@@MrThisIsMeToo By no means am I an expert, just a pior guy who studied ways to make more money when I was poor, now I am sure there are some professors who are efficiency experts who could do a much better job posting videos about it at thier local AG schools
we grew sorgum sudan on our far tuis year to graze cattle on we could graze 600 herd herd on 35 acres for a whole week super thick stuff planted it early may and have graved it to stalks 3 time and the cows are due for another rotation into the sudan
I remember when hay cutters use to have rattly clunky sounds. Now they sound like a big old giant lawn mower. Big difference in today and yesteryear. I remember when they only had sickle bar hay cutters . Now they got rap around hay cutters . Like that jd, there. Wow. And they run faster now than they use to. Man how times have changed. Hahahaha I remember pick hay up by hand. I would have quit if I walked up and looked at that field of hay with the small bails. Hahahaha😀😂😂🤣😂🤣. Awesome, now ain't they.
There was article other day by washington times saying most of those windmills aren't recyclable so 720,000 tons of windmill waste goes into landfills,even better plan. No power = landfill waste
@@eisen.dieter You are right, if a fawn is alone it will stay in place. If it's with mom it will follow her. Perhaps I misunderstand your original comment. Please explain to me what you meant

Impressive mower to cut it that fast. Look forward to the chopping vid also.
Crop has a nice color to it . Interesting to watch. I liked your joke Mike, Good one LOL. Thank you for the video.
It’s really cool sight when you drive through that area and see all the wind mills.
It reminds me of the massive wind farms on the outskirts of Dodge City Kansas.
Great Video Mike, Sudan grass looks like a good option when the traditional forages or off the menu, thanks for sharing
Great video! Tough work for the mowers! Looking forward to the chopper video!
Greets from south tyrol, the northest part of italy

Another great video.Looking forward for chopping.
Very cool! I’m from Paulding. I have it growing in my back yard :)
Now this looks like a fun job.........We grew some sorghum sudan this year to chop for silage ...Corn got flooded out 3 times in N Missouri....
Pretty cool video, my University is trying out planting BMR sorghum sudan grass and intercropping soybeans for more protein. Should be interesting to see what happens
Nice video mike! Its good to have joke thrown in there. They can cover some ground quik. Thanks for video.
Saw this had to watch it, I live in Antwerp just north of Payne nice video.
Beautiful farm and grass cutting in professional level. Good job
Amazing farm and location, US farms are another level.
Dad and I grow this in Western Nebraska. Rotate it in with wheat to help with weed control and Mello the ground for notill. Works great for feeding cows in the dead of winter.
By that do you mean to plant Sudan grass and wheat together, or follow a Sudan crop with a white crop after harvest?
Endlich auch mal ein Ammi, der weiß, was eine Fronthydralik ist. Toller Schmetterling!
Crazy this is near Payne, OH. My father grew up there and I lived not far from there.
That mower makes quick work of that being so thick and tall. I've seen it grown abit in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.
Now that is some impressive forage. Nice tractor and mower combo too, and it looks like he's laying it down fast. And the best part: WIDE SWATHS!! Letting it dry properly! Looks like it will make a great crop of feed. I wonder how much field of view he has looking out over that stuff?
I remember my grandpa and dad would grow this if a field was wet in spring, stuff would be 8ft tall and green chop it into a bunk for the dairy cows.
You know that guy had to change or at least flip the knives in those disc mowers. The fields look huge good video 👍🚜
I loved playing in the Sudan grass cover crop. when I was a kid

Great Video Mike. I was thinking you could tell little kids the Big Bad Wolf was retiring and put them up to maintain his legacy.lol
A buddy who works on them says "They're wind turbines. They're only windmills if someone is turning grain into flour down at the base of 'em" :)
Windmills.
Beautiful field. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful farm!!!!!!!!!u are blessed! !!!!!!

Nice vid mike and beautiful plain👍
The Orange Foolus thinks the wind turbines causes cancer. And that's not a joke... Great video Mike!
That was so nice of them to turn off the fans for you.😜
That's a really nice stand. I wonder what the seeding rate was.
*Great video machines*
😂😂keep the jokes going mike ....cracked me up
Hi from nz always enjoy your vids mate ,thanx
Mike, if you had congress out there they could create more than enough wind for the windmills.
Such a fascinating video. I live in the Sumas Prairie, and my neighbor plants triticale. This is the first time I have heard of Sorghum Sudan Grass. Do you have a link to the video of it being chopped?
Mike you killed me with the fan joke 😆
Looking through videos and this is just down the road!
Awesome love the raw sounds 😄😄

I thought it was good, too.

Nice video,pretty green fields!!!
Sorghum syrup is so good as well! YUMM !
Yes there is herbicide Syngenta Primextra TZ Gold (312,5 g/lS-metolaklor+87,5 g/lTerbutilazin ) we use that in Croatia
3:00 pure scenary 🌪
Wonder if there is nutritional differences between mowing multiple times and mowing once.
I have cut Sudan and Johnson grass here in North Texas. If one does not use a mower /conditioner, it takes a long time before the grass can be baled.
For anyone who has never grown it, the words " fast growing" isn't an exageration.
If you got heat, this takes off like something I've never seen !
whit what your saying about the sorghum then i wouldn't be surprised to see it replace corn for silage within that region as it seems to be much easier to handle and better for the environment as it doesn't needs chemicals
Very very nice mike
We used to chop one forage wagon every night for the dairy cows and feed into a concrete bunk.

I'm Fan of the fan jokes brother💊😎👌👍
then what happens after the mowing? how do they collect the cut down sorghum plants?
Look at that green energy just sitting there not generating energy. Meanwhile this diesel tractor is happily doing its job.
Very cool Video
we grew sorgum sudan on our far tuis year to graze cattle on we could graze 600 herd herd on 35 acres for a whole week super thick stuff planted it early may and have graved it to stalks 3 time and the cows are due for another rotation into the sudan
Any ideas on how many tons to the acre this yielded ??
How many cuts can you have a year? And what are the dry matter and protein levels?
I could watch that for hours.
I remember when hay cutters use to have rattly clunky sounds. Now they sound like a big old giant lawn mower. Big difference in today and yesteryear.

Im from sudan . Good job
Makes for an attractive looking field.
Hell yeah Ohio, that is right next to me, I am from Van Wert
Do these mowers have the ability to condition the crop? Never been around anything like that before
Fantastic video footage and drone footage glad they switch off the turbines so you could film with drone lol😀😀😀👌👍
You cant turn off a wind turbine. That's like trying to turn off the wind🤣
@@realredditstories420 as I own a wind turbine yes you can switch off we do every year for service 👌
Hey Mike which hybrid?
Be interesting to see what it's done to the blades at the end. Doesn't sound as if it's struggling
No wind no = no power ! Great plan !
There was article other day by washington times saying most of those windmills aren't recyclable so 720,000 tons of windmill waste goes into landfills,even better plan. No power = landfill waste
@@christyler7391 I read that article too .
Another great video just curious what kind of camera do you use
I farm in western Oklahoma I usually plant Sudan mid-April to late May I usually get to cut about mid July and again in September
but how can you do it exactly cutting like that ???
Best video yet
Good video
So satisfying to watch!
You mowed that down like butter
Question, why skip?
That thing sure cuts fast...
Great Video Mike....
Love Those Fans...
Hahaha
Buenos días, disculpa,que planta es y cual es la finalidad del corte a temprana edad?
How many pounds per acre are you getting?
Well, Honey, you can’t watch TV tonight……..no wind.
Why wait a day to chopp ??
can you guys imagine eating up a nice bowl of that sorghum sudangrass silage? maybe with a little dash of black pepper and a microbrew
This needs to be on oddly satisfying
Years ago we would put up 300-ton we were getting 30-ton to the acre off of it at 21 to 23% protein
Does this regrow every year or do you have to replant it?
It would actually regrow but once it get a freeze I believe its done.
Like the jokes need more and interesting info on the crop thanks
Good joke, put a smile on my dial.. cheers.
Why do they skip rows
How do you aim
Mike what us the difference between southern and Milo
how does he know where to cut he spaces the row perfect
Thing does'nt waste no time & does a good job .
What are those 9’ mowers nice video
I see this kind of grass for the first time. Guess the needed temperatures make it rather useless in Germany
How many rabbits and Deere get hurt by cutting?
One would hope they would get out of the way when a huge/loud machine comes towards them.
Do you know how many animals get harmed making your food?
@@endutubecensorship little deere kids dont run away when loud machines coming. They go down on the ground and just stay so.
@@eisen.dieter You are right, if a fawn is alone it will stay in place. If it's with mom it will follow her.

So this is where that Stephen King movie was filmed. Lol
Gostaria de saber qual a cultura que está sendo colhida e o que será feito com ela?
Ah, muito bom o vídeo, 👏👏👏
Don't see many John deeres with front 3 point hitches
Bluefleet OC in the States ;) Don’t see many tractors in Europe above 150hp without front 3pto.
Would save time mowing my yard.
