As a retired soil conservationist, I truly appreciate the farming methods you follow on your dairy farm. So many farmers these days do not contour farm and apply other practices to reduce the potential for soil loss.
Im a conservation technician so i love seeing yhe practices they use as well. I love seeing dairy farms. I wish dairy farms in Wisconsin were more popular again but theres still big dairies but a lot of dairies are gone. And contours are hardly around. Everyones going straight row crops
I must admit my foolish thinking as a very young man studying electrical engineering at a state school. Yes there were Agricultural Engineering students, and while I didn’t make wise cracks about them, I just didn’t realize how important their work truly IS! To see what you go through to plant your crops is miraculous to me, and that’s saying quite a bit coming from an EE. What you and your dad (and lots of people we don’t see) go through is to be commended, and not in a small way. You all feed much of the world, and my hat’s off to you!
Watching these made me think how this is actually an intense engineering job of its own type: you have to always be detecting/diagnosing problems, coming up with solutions with tradeoffs, and implementing them to see if you were right. And you have to be able to handle anything, whenever it happens...
So glad to see you and your Dad doing all the maintenance on your equipment during the winter!! (like your planter) There are some other farmers that do not do that and it is an emergency working on their equipment when they should be planting. Also, thanks for taking us along on your journey. We KNOW it takes SO MUCH LONGER to do a job when you have to move the cameras all around for us to get the good shot. Also, thank you for all the time it takes. you to edit and finalize your videos! My wife and I hope you know how much we appreciate your and your Dad's hard work!! May God overwhelm you, your staff and family with blessings!!
It’s great to see a farm that actually maintains equipment. Farms have a bad rap for equipment neglect. Keep up the great work!! Best channel on UA-cam!!
When I used to cover the silage in the silo I just would tuck the plastic down around the edges with my hands, gloves on. Didn't fork any silage on top of the plastic tarp. Would have to go up in the silo a couple days later and keep tucking the plastic cover as the silage settled. Little to no spoilage.....you guys do a GREAT job!!! Kudos!!
Before you put the last touches on, you might want to run a waterline to the silo's, to save running all that hose in traffic areas. My 2¢ worth, but it hit me when you were hooking up the hose. Great video, and I can't wait to see it in full operation! You have a good looking herd , and I know that you take pride in keeping them clean, fed, and happy!👍👍
not easy to do what you and your family are doing.....work work work....with your MIND and BODY!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WORK.....and everything you do...is EXPENSIVE....how you do it....I can't imagine......
I have upright silo, it’s popular here in eastern Canada. After you lay the plastic you can blow around 200 hundred pound of ground grain over the plastic. It will help seal. You’re small blower can do it. And when you’re ready to feed you remove only the plastic and feed the mix grain forage to the heifer.
I wish I could watch the heartwarming joy your Dad and you will experience when all those rocks become boulders and peek their little heads out of the fields. Huge demand for large rocks. You could retire on 2 loads of nice boulders. Ha ha
I have always appreciated how you Eric, your Dad and the rest of your working crew consistently keep Safety #1 on your To Do List before the work actually starts! Trial and error is the best method of "finding out what works"! Just as I was really enjoying the scenery of warmer sunny farm days, you reminded us all of the hidden Aromatic Aroma's we don't "see'! Reminds me of my favorite Farm Saying....Fecal Matter REALLY Does Matter! 🤣 Got a great appreciation foe the planting equipment too! DYING at the stones in the boxes "these guys will grow to be Big Rocks in a couple of years with our fertile soil"😂😂 Great video Eric! MOO From next door in COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
In Switzerland we have a Waterpress on Top of the Feed in the Silos. Its like a plasticpool that we fill with water, thats press the Feed and make sure that no oxygen come to the feed.. Greetings from Switzerland😃
The silo that you filled with Triticale looks good. I'm glad you had the blower running, the gases can really get bad, better safe than sorry. I didn't think about the change to the planter for larger soy beans nor extra weight for running on the stubble, makes sense. Nice video, thanks Eric, I hope you have a good evening!
Great video, Eric. In the last video, i was curious if you did the planting of the corn and soybeans in-house or hired it out. I guess this video answered that. I gotta tell you, dairy farmers work their butts off taking care of the herd EVERYDAY and in their free time. They plant, harvest, and store the feed supply to keep them fed. Much Respect to all you farmers out there 👍 🚜....
It’s nice to have two other silo’s for silage . And , I agree with you Eric those fan’s do keep the animals cool and drying the barn glad our neighbor finally got his fan’s up.
I always like when you use caution and stay safe. Ahh the aroma of nice fresh manure. Music to the nose. Just want to again say how much I appreciate you taking the time to share your workdays with us. Also love your growing rocks humor. Hoping for a great growing season for you. Thanks.
Eric, I'm a retired upstate NY dairy farmer and built unadilla wooded silo builder for forty years also. My scaffolding had a center pole that the you used to push it up. If you could when they do last silo have them show how their scaffolding works to push or pull it up and down, just never seen one like that. Thank you if u can, love watching the videos.
Just ordered a couple bumper stickers for my toolboxes. My dad grew up on a dairy farm in upstate New York, and it's interesting watching your videos seeing why he was good at literally everything! Thankfully, he taught me to be good at everything, too, lol.
My son lives in PA, Bucks County. I live in NC. On the way to his house, we drive I76 past John Martin & Sons next to Denver Cold Storage. I tell you this because yesterday we saw a brand new silo right across the road from them that is nearly a twin to yours, including the star. Same company? Truly enjoy your videos. I relive my childhood helping my dad milk his Holsteins. BTW very glad to see how much attention you give safety. God Bless!
I so enjoy your copy and paste with your videos and all so your commenting on what you are doing and why. It makes for very interesting info for farmers and old folks like me following your videos. When I was your age I so enjoyed my job and couldn't wait to go to work every day. Thank You.
I'll say one thing you are a hard working young man. I cringe every time you climb that silo. My legs used to burn climbing an eighty footer!! Great video.
Eric you should check out the old bbc documentary series on this guy named fred dibnah. He was like the last traditional steeple jack in the 80s. The way he would attach his ladders to the smoke stacks and climp them with no harness is nuts. He is a little hard to understand but not impossible. Just do a youtube search for him.
Man you and your Dad work hard, always out there from one thing to another. It's so heartening to see good "old Fashioned" farmers doing such honest work. As being a "city slicker" all of my life I was so lucky as a kid to have family friends who dairy farmed in South Gippsland Victoria Australia. I was able to visit on some weekends and school holidays to help and absorb that life if only a little bit, so I have an appreciation of the constant effort you guys put in. Kudos kudos kudos ..........
Eric, it is rare to see farmers using silos anymore with more using bunks. When I was working on a dairy farm in the early 80's we capped a few silos. I hope this feeding system works out for you.
Perhaps you can market a "Scratch & Sniff" card for those who are unaware of the fresh aroma of liquid manure? At least $10.00 a card, it would be a sinus clearing experience. :)
77 years old here. Grew up on a farm. Every time I smell it my memory bank turns on. A smell that is never forgotten. No way to escape it during spreading time. Inside the house even had that sweet smell. No farmers don't smell bad it is an all natural fragrance. :)
Toughest job in the world? Farming, without a doubt! What are you having for supper tonight? Thank a farmer for what’s on your table! Little rocks in a couple of years! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the video, Eric!
I personally think that the ever inventive 10th gen ...has slyly figured out how to mix manure with small stones to grow them into a quarry. Next thing you know ...Clover Farms " stone strengthened " chocolate milk...makes you "strong as Vesuvius"...?!?...
I told a similar story to a boy I was in 4H with. He was kicking gravel into a field that had rocks visible. It took several people some time to convince him they wouldn't take root and grow! 😂
I will speak on behalf of many of us poor, gullible viewers who really believed that the rocks grow until we read the comments and saw it was a joke. Pray for us. 🙈
I didn't think there was any young farmers left that could run a tractor without gps and autosteer so they can play on their phones while in the fields !! Very nice to see !!
It will interesting to see what kind of a yield you get from those stones in the fall. Might be able to sell the harvest to a road crew for a decent profit.
Hi Andrew, great video! My kids love watching these! Just a thought, we have a very similar method to you, 1st calving heifers come in daily from 3 weeks off of calving but we mix them with older cows in the milking parlour The older girls go in the front, middle and end of the row and really help calm the heifers down and reduce jumping around and stress,injuries etc might make their introductory experience even better Daily might be overkill but we have alot more access to labour than you do
It is amazing how much work it is to plant, cut, and pack into a silo but I think the silo is so much better than the bunkers. I hope the soybean harvest is good as well.
another nice presentation, thanks. My 2 bits on covering silos; we always use to cover. When we went to lower the unloader and take the plastic off, the corn silage was slimy crap. Our surface unloader would not throw it out. Even put on a new blower; did not make a difference. A neighbor suggested not covering; never had an unloader problem since. There was some waste but not the same as when covered ( did not have to hand pitch that slimy mess). Maybe a ring drive will be different and you will be using it quickly. Good luck on your 'experiment'.
You might not get any spoilage at all. As the feed ferments, you should get a layer of CO2 inside the silo that will prevent oxygen from creating mold.
Honestly I think there is some truth in those rock seeds, every year we harvest potatoes there are still a lot of rocks being extracted on the same field, I think you're onto something 😆
Wonderfull to see your silo running and everything goes to plan. Entering the silo just after filling you won't have dangerous gasses. But when you wil remove the plastic then you really need to ventilate. With the plastic i always push the edge of the plastic down at the wall, and nothing on top off the plastic. Also great you mentioned the drying with the fan at your 10 month heffers.
We used to have one mounted on the row units behind the row cleaners but we it seemed to hold them up too much. Maybe if we mounted coulters to the frame we would have more luck.
Yah know. If you got any extra 110 power up that silo like you do for that Camera, should throw a LED light bulb fixture in with a 100W equivalent or bigger bulb. Got to go in, flip the light on. Big flood.
I have been watching your channel for years keep up the awesome content 👏 you know so much about what you do have a blessed night Eric. Watching from southern Idaho 🎉🎉🎉.
We dont run any deep tillage nor do we raise animals, but if we ever have tight dirt and roots on the top our planter is inconsistent and thus inconsistent crop, we found that a disc works wonderfully for us so we dont have to add weight and remove weight when the soil doesn’t require it
Enjoyed another educational video Eric. I can tell in your voice the satisfaction you feel of the first use of your new silo. Looks Great too. Fertile soil can sure grow big ricks. I liked that I could go to our Farm Supply Store & buy post holes. 😁
I farm in southwest Minnesota nice black dirt and sometimes rains at the right time but when we put soybeans in the ground we expect 50-60 maybe 70 in the “wetter” spots but i guess we’ll see at fall!
The little rocks grow to big rocks with our fertile fields. Farmer humor. Nothing like a farm.
If you scatter them on the surface they will dry out and never grow

Install some lights once you get the concrete ramp for the silos created. Would make a difference at night
It’s good to see the younger generation getting into farming or following in there dads footsteps

You might not get any spoilage at all. As the feed ferments, you should get a layer of CO2 inside the silo that will prevent oxygen from creating mold.
Your one dairy farm needs all those bags of seed,
Just think what it takes to supply all the farms just in your county!

Love this nice long video
You can ask the Welkers about them rocks it seem they're moving big rock quite often😊 God Bless!!!🙌
That little bit of plastic will keep the feed at the top of the silo quite fresh. You won’t have to throw much if any away.

You guys sure do run z TIGHT SHIP..GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW SET UP..!
Carry on
Enjoyed the video.
always cracks me up, when you let the cattle back in the pen. how frisky they get.
Great video!!!
you should add some off-road lights to the unloader facing down so you could have ample lighting inside the silo
Rock seeds !
Eric i love your sense of humor! The baby rocks grow into bigger rocks cause of your fertile soil! 😂😂
