Second! That was highly educational not just for school kids, but the millions of consumers who enjoy the fruits of your labor every day! THANK YOU! Keep up the good work!
As a retired educator, I love the demonstration your dad put together for a tour of students! It’s important for children to learn where their food originates, so they have a greater appreciation for the choices they make in the future. Thanks to you both for your hard work to your craft. 🏍🇺🇸🎒
You and your Dad have such a well-organized and clean-looking milking operation. Your dad and you work so well with each other, I can tell by the way you talk to each other that you are what we say in Tennesee Good People. Its a pleasure watching you and your Dad working to make your operation better.I can tell by your language you're a good man. I hope you continued success. Dont change Thanks Roger

Back in 1962 I watched silos being built by the local co-op.They were built exactly the same way as yours.They were 60' x 24'.Sixty yrs.later I watched them tear them down.
I would be so sad if you changed your closing words. Funny, the little things that we get used to in life.😊 Just keep it that way, that's totally fine.
This is by far my favorite UA-cam channel. It is refreshing for me. If I can’t farm anymore the next best thing is watching Eric. Thanks for letting us on to your dairy farm.
I'd like to know how big of a blower does it take to toss sileage 145 feet? And the unloader must be aggressive as he ll to dig the bottom 1/3 out of that silo. Do you have a chopper wagon that sits on the ground at the blower and you dump trucks into it?
That silo is a MONSTER! Very cool to watch this transformation to robotics. I think you already have a top notch farm but this will really put you over the top.
I’m no farmer, nor do I wish to be (I’m too old to start a 24/7 physically demanding job!), but I’m fascinated by your videos Eric. Keep up the outstanding narration, as you do it with panache!
you have a good trademark sign off. Nothing bad with that but you have great content in your videos and this one is no exception. Like others have said, it is so refreshing to see a father and son working so well together. I know that your faith is in God. Good on you.
Eric, I really enjoy your videos. I was raised in dairy country in the Pacific North West, taught agriculture for 30 years and thought I knew a little about dairy farming, but each session with you I learn something new. We don't use many upright silos here but I look forward to the progress of your new feed system based on your new silos. Also, for today's video the discussion on genetic testing and how it fits into your breeding program was excellent!
Appreciative of the Canberra angles, thanks for showing us what you do so so much goes behind what a consumer sees at the grocery store or supermarket in the milk provided by dairy farmers.
Man, I’ve climbed a lot of silos, but that one is something else. I wouldn’t want to have to do that two to four times in one day to fix an unloader. Looking good though.
Hey Eric, it was really interesting to show my son how much food each cow eats and the breakdown of how much of each ingredients goes to an individual cow was a neat presentation. As for lacking creativity, I am amazed at how you have managed to make milking not only informative, but also entertaining. My family has loved watching your family farm continue to evolve. Lastly, all the greats had/have a signature sign off. you're is genuinely you. And Indeed you will see us in the next one.
Just wanted to say to you and your family what an excellent bunch of people you are. Not only do you work so hard every day to help feed thousands of people, you are also open about your operations, educational and supportive of the new generations. The world is better place just because of you being with us. Keep being excellent, I appreciate your efforts.
Nice looking calves and cows and keeping the milking equipment cleaned too. I am astonished with how quickly they went up with the silo, they sure do a fast job. You guys do a great job with all you do on your dairy operation and the feed rationing your dad put together of the school group was really neat. Thanks for sharing, have a great Friday!
Have never seen a silo built before, and I'm very curious to see how they get all their rigging down from the top. I assume they'll have to bring in a crane for that, and to assemble the roof, etc. Thanks for the great content!
Answer - counter weights. Put pulley on top of chute (half in and half outside chute). Cable latches to your harness and lifts a lot of your weight. When you get down just latch the cable somewhere on bottom of chute as weights will be near top of silo and outside the chute.
Wash system trouble shoot not as easy as many think. I always started with checking the end temp of the hot wash cycle, needs to be 120 F minimum. As you say cleaning chemical dispensing can fail. A pin hole in tube peristaltic pump is not uncommon. I always like to look at the milk line from the receiver jar to the first unit. Make sure the air injector that provides slug scrub action in the milk line is working. I see some things in the wash vat. If no screen on the wash vat suck pipe things can get sucked up and lodge in the wrong place and cause cleaning issue. Closely critically check milk tank with a big light after the wash and surfaces have dried. Sometime the milk line is not the problem. Check tank wash cycles also. Depends who you talk to as to how good of a milk quality indicator PI counts are. But you buyer tests so you got to play ball. Good luck.
Fantastic video with interesting info. Love the way your dad demonstrated the daily food intake too The ending has just became your catch phase I guess.
Your genetics explanation was super impressive. Lots of facts but still made total sense to me. Silo build continues to be impressive. Excited to watch you fill it up and get the automation going. You do an awesome job on your videos. And your endings are just fine😊
Eric, Great episode today, I learned a lot. Still can’t believe how high the new silo is. I give those guys a lot of credit to zip around the ring pouring concrete. Thanks again for letting us share into you and your Dads daily routine. God bless you both.
I know most of the grain elevators in my area were made with slip forms, but most new storage has been massive corrugated metal bins. Good episode, the daily feed display was very informative.
Make some small molds for the run off concrete or a weight for ur tractor. The truck will clean out but sometimes they have some extra and u can use it
The true meaning of the American Farmer is watching you and your Dad working side by side. I really like you explaining the science side of your operation. I think it's time to introduce the little doggie that has been making a cameo appearance in your last few videos.😊
Very interesting operation Like the new silo. Nice to see an upright silo again. The bad thing is having to climb them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. 😊
Thank you Dad for taking the time to give an educational tour for the school children…we oldsters enjoyed it too. The heifers didn’t mind at all getting their DNA testing. Boy oh boy THANK YOU so much for the silo build footage; fascinating and educational. Keep your sign off just like it is !!
Thats a tall silo,, wow. Growing up in North Carolina we had 4 dairy farms within 1 mile of our house; 2 Jersey, 2 Holsteins. I have a lot of great memories helping out on 2 of those farms and we learned a lot also. I loved bailing hay and cutting silage. One farmer had a metal bed hay truck which was nearly chest high which made a challenge to toss hay bales up to the stacker. Also dry hay on a metal bed made the truck bed very slick, the guy stacking was always skating and doing his best not to slide off. Fun times.
Water gets added to any silo during filling usually. Better to be proactive than reactive. As for getting it up there, it won’t be an issue. Most custom guys with their blower rigs have a minimum of 200 hp on the front of it.
I was wondering how the blower would handle the 140' height to get the feed to the top of the gooseneck. I guess enough airflow will carry the feed to the top. I remember as a young man we filled a 50' silo with a 4020 JD on our blower and we could unload a JD chuckwagon in high speed and not plug it up.
I applaud you for the hard work you and your dad put everyday in your farm. I am sure a lot of us are wondering if you get any breaks. Milk farms are a lot harder to work with. Nothing is easy in life in general. You guys are the example prove for that. A lot of scarifies and dedication. God bless you and your family. Best of luck in every steps of this life.
Appreciate you sharing. The Feed demonstration was spot on. A lot has changed since I was working on a dairy farm, feed rations, the amount that goes into genetics is simply amazing. Keep up the great work and keeping us supplied with Milk for milk products.
Ah, I finally get the Angus tie-in. Thanks. It might be worth explaining how that whole thing works, including the necessity to breed the cows but to produce salable stock rather than milkers. Or maybe I missed that episode.
Awesome video. Love how you and your dad work together. So glad you still are learning from your dad. I lost my dad in 2015, so enjoy your folks as much as you can Eric. Thank you guys so much
The amount of knowledge you need to have to run a dairy farm is just mind-blowing to me..... There's probably thousands of different things to do and you don't even hesitate you just do what you're supposed to do! That's definitely a compliment to your dad he taught you well... Very well😊 oh by the way..... When you have to climb that silo you better film it.....lolol❤ If you ever have to climb it will you wear a bungee cord or something to protect you from falling????🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Nice video. I grew up on a small family farm that started as dairy when i was very young but my dad game up on dairy when they switched from milk cans to bulk tanks. It's nice seeing a modern dairy farm in operation.
Good explanation of the work that goes into your breeding program. Interesting stuff - I'm in aerospace, but in watching various farming channels, I'm firmly convinced that agriculture is as high tech and scientific in method as any other industry out there. Really cool to see the parts of the TMR. And that same line to open and close a video - it's not boring, it's the channel catch phrase. Great wholesome, salt of the earth content as always.
It's exciting to watch you guys get the work done on the dairy. I grew up in farming when we milked by hand and my dad worked in town also. For us 16 cows was a big chore before we got our first milker system that consisted of a canister strapped to each cow then was poured into 10 gallon milk cans which were put inot a milk cooler. I'm sure the milk wasn't as pure as yours is. I enjoy your videos and encourage you to keep up the good work.
After a career in commercial construction I can assure you a pump would not be cost effective for the silo construction. Set up, clean up and material loss ( because at the end of each pour the material left in the pump pipe will end up on the ground) make the bucket method the best option. Pretty cool to watch:)
Thanks for showing the feed at the end, that is interesting! I’ve watched your videos for a couple years and often wondered how much each cows ration was!
It would be a good idea to have a safety cable installed next to the ladder so you can use a harness as you climb that super tall silo. The new silo does look narrower than the dark colored ones. Maybe the color also makes a difference. It is an impressive structure.It is amazing the amount of science that you need to use on your farm. It was cool seeing a ration of food for a cow. Great video and thanks.
I have been watching you guys for a long time and I still enjoy that all. I like how you tell us how everything works. Thanks for sharing and have a nice safe day. God bless you all!!🙏👍
Awesome to see the silo being built. Looking at putting up 2-24’x100’ next summer for grain. I do custom soybean roasting in Canada and got the my roaster from Pennsylvania!
Great video Eric! So nice to meet you and your Father last week at the Shady Maple Ag Vets meeting! Keep educating people on your farm progress and public awareness of how dairy farming is a wonderful satisfying career.
Again I enjoy the videos. These videos just show being a farmer and how much knowledge/experience he needs in many different areas. (genetics, milking equipment, crops, mechanical, chemical, banking and business) WOW But now I want to ask a ? that me and friends wonder. Just how much does this silo cost. (just the silo) (not the un-loader or any robots) 🤔🤔
We've been doing genomic testing for about 12 years. Great for herd records. Im in New Zealand so we seasonal calve. 700 calve in 10 weeks. Some days we could have 30 calves. It makes life easier for us to match calves to mums
We watch for the consistency, calming nature of your videos amidst the chaos of city life. Will your new silos be finished on the outside to make them look more uniform in appearance?
Great vid! What about cross of Holstein and Ayrshire? Ayrshires used to be all over, but they aren’t as docile, they can be ornery! I think there was once a time when they were crossing them.
Good to see all the little pieces that are involved in being a dairy farmer, good honest work. As hard as it might be, you're lucky to be doing work you enjoy. Is the new silo the maximum height that the silo could be with the present set up, with the rebar and the concrete type, meaning do you basically order the silo based on your needs, the volume you need, or is there a height that if you go beyond the cost gets progressively more expensive? Was a 30' dia. a choice that you considered? I imagine seeing this new silo has a degree of excitement and worry for you as its got to be a big decision to make, its a big commitment to your future. Thanks for taking us with you. Crazy amount of food for one cow for one day, also amazing to think that it gets turned into milk so fast. Milk and some other stuff!
19:28 consistency is key my friend. I know you of all people know this but here is yet another wonderful example of such. Another great video, man. Looking forward to the next upload.
Any timelapse showing those guys moving the silo forms up after each pour? I loved the last video showing an ariel view of the guy dumping the concrete into the forms. Neat little contraption he was riding up there!
Thank you for the video! For me, it gives an inside look at farm life and it's very interesting. This is not a casual Farming Simulator 22(:D), your videos show the small important and complex moments in your work. It's interesting to watch your farm develop and expand, thank you!
Has anyone else in wisconsin noticed the sunrise is just a tad bit later because of Eric's new silo on Pennsylvania?!
It was pretty cool to see all the many necessary ingredients that go into feeding just one cow for one day. We appreciate the video uploads Eric!
Second! That was highly educational not just for school kids, but the millions of consumers who enjoy the fruits of your labor every day! THANK YOU!
Keep up the good work!
And how much milk is produced out of those piles of feed?

I would be so sad if you changed your closing words. Funny, the little things that we get used to in life.😊 Just keep it that way, that's totally fine.
The cow feed portions is so interesting as well as the Silo build. You learn something new every video on this channel.
We love your little 4 legged helper. Your farm is immaculate and beautiful. God Bless.
They're all...four legged helpers....admittedly...one is slightly smaller and occasionally barky😂🤣👏👏👏👍🫢
Calfs and cows are always kept so clean
That look at what one cow eats a day was really cool. Great videos!
This is by far my favorite UA-cam channel. It is refreshing for me. If I can’t farm anymore the next best thing is watching Eric. Thanks for letting us on to your dairy farm.
If you haven't already watched it you may also enjoy "Just A Few Acres Farm".
@@dannyb.9721 "SaskDutch Kid" is another good one, but he hasn't uploaded since December.
That sure is a big silo. You can see it really well from 322 and it towers above your other silos on the farm. Pretty cool.
Im not from the area but was thinking to myself, that must be the new township landmark lol
I'd like to know how big of a blower does it take to toss sileage 145 feet? And the unloader must be aggressive as he ll to dig the bottom 1/3 out of that silo. Do you have a chopper wagon that sits on the ground at the blower and you dump trucks into it?
That silo is a MONSTER! Very cool to watch this transformation to robotics. I think you already have a top notch farm but this will really put you over the top.
If anyone thinks farmers are dumb….. think again. I’m constantly impressed with the technology and the work ethic that farmers have these days.
you are plenty creative enough. Nothing wrong with the ending being the same. its comforting if anything
I’m no farmer, nor do I wish to be (I’m too old to start a 24/7 physically demanding job!), but I’m fascinated by your videos Eric. Keep up the outstanding narration, as you do it with panache!
We love your 😊humorous gags! Finding Mt Dew in the middle of the alfalfa still makes me laugh!

You got to set some small forms in the driveway for the clean outs on the cement trucks
Nice looking calves and cows and keeping the milking equipment cleaned too. I am astonished with how quickly they went up with the silo, they sure do a fast job. You guys do a great job with all you do on your dairy operation and the feed rationing your dad put together of the school group was really neat. Thanks for sharing, have a great Friday!

Bring it down just the way it went up. There's a big center pipe that everything rides on. Jack it up and Jack it down
Like I said before, Eric your legs will be massive climbing that silo.
Answer - counter weights. Put pulley on top of chute (half in and half outside chute). Cable latches to your harness and lifts a lot of your weight. When you get down just latch the cable somewhere on bottom of chute as weights will be near top of silo and outside the chute.

It's quite a climd the new silo,we used to have a 50 footer in my youth and that was a work out then on it's own,good luck climbing three of them!
I did enjoy seeing the feed components measured out to see how much a milk cow eats. Always enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks
god bless man its great to see your farm, family and cows progress. shoutout to the goat of finding hidden mt dews and chocolate milks
Make some small molds for the run off concrete or a weight for ur tractor. The truck will clean out but sometimes they have some extra and u can use it
We all keep tuning in !!
That is really interesting seeing the feed set out
Great video Eric love watching the silo being built. I would be scared to death to climb that ladder
That was very informative on a number different issues. And the feed illustration was excellent.
The true meaning of the American Farmer is watching you and your Dad working side by side. I really like you explaining the science side of your operation. I think it's time to introduce the little doggie that has been making a cameo appearance in your last few videos.😊
Very interesting operation Like the new silo. Nice to see an upright silo again. The bad thing is having to climb them.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. 😊
It's nice how technology can make our food supply much cleaner. The silo looks awesome and it's fun to watch it get built!
Thank you Dad for taking the time to give an educational tour for the school children…we oldsters enjoyed it too. The heifers didn’t mind at all getting their DNA testing. Boy oh boy THANK YOU so much for the silo build footage; fascinating and educational. Keep your sign off just like it is !!
We planted our corn on 15 inch rows to have more feed on limited acres done very well with it but you have to give it the groceries for it to do good
Thats a tall silo,, wow. Growing up in North Carolina we had 4 dairy farms within 1 mile of our house; 2 Jersey, 2 Holsteins. I have a lot of great memories helping out on 2 of those farms and we learned a lot also. I loved bailing hay and cutting silage. One farmer had a metal bed hay truck which was nearly chest high which made a challenge to toss hay bales up to the stacker. Also dry hay on a metal bed made the truck bed very slick, the guy stacking was always skating and doing his best not to slide off. Fun times.
them siloes will be a good test for the custom guys blower if the silage gets gummy so have a water hose ready.
Water gets added to any silo during filling usually. Better to be proactive than reactive. As for getting it up there, it won’t be an issue. Most custom guys with their blower rigs have a minimum of 200 hp on the front of it.
I was wondering how the blower would handle the 140' height to get the feed to the top of the gooseneck. I guess enough airflow will carry the feed to the top. I remember as a young man we filled a 50' silo with a 4020 JD on our blower and we could unload a JD chuckwagon in high speed and not plug it up.
The silo went up fast. Looks great. Can't wait until you start using it.
I applaud you for the hard work you and your dad put everyday in your farm. I am sure a lot of us are wondering if you get any breaks. Milk farms are a lot harder to work with. Nothing is easy in life in general. You guys are the example prove for that. A lot of scarifies and dedication. God bless you and your family. Best of luck in every steps of this life.

Top of my favorite YT channels. Keep it going Eric! Thanks!
Really interesting edition. That new silo is going to be a challenging climb! All that ration plus the tens of litres of water.
That is gonna be interesting to climb! That’s a long ways up there! I’ll look forward to the first video of you crawling up!😊

really good video enjoyed all the different aspects of the dairy farm
Again I enjoy the videos. These videos just show being a farmer and how much knowledge/experience he needs in
many different areas. (genetics, milking equipment, crops, mechanical, chemical, banking and business) WOW But now I want to ask

Great vid! What about cross of Holstein and Ayrshire? Ayrshires used to be all over, but they aren’t as docile, they can be ornery! I think there was once a time when they were crossing them.
Good to see all the little pieces that are involved in being a dairy farmer, good honest work. As hard as it might be, you're lucky to be doing work you enjoy.
Is the new silo the maximum height that the silo could be with the present set up, with the rebar and the concrete type, meaning do you basically order the silo based on your needs, the volume you need, or is there a height that if you go beyond the cost gets progressively more expensive? Was a 30' dia. a choice that you considered?
I imagine seeing this new silo has a degree of excitement and worry for you as its got to be a big decision to make, its a big commitment to your future. Thanks for taking us with you.
Crazy amount of food for one cow for one day, also amazing to think that it gets turned into milk so fast. Milk and some other stuff!
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
19:28 consistency is key my friend. I know you of all people know this but here is yet another wonderful example of such.
Another great video, man. Looking forward to the next upload.
I think it's really cool that you guys are hosting field trips on the farm.
Roller chair just move on down the row lol
Any timelapse showing those guys moving the silo forms up after each pour? I loved the last video showing an ariel view of the guy dumping the concrete into the forms. Neat little contraption he was riding up there!
Parabens amigo, vc Manda bem o que faz. Tamo junto
Thank you for the video! For me, it gives an inside look at farm life and it's very interesting. This is not a casual Farming Simulator 22(:D), your videos show the small important and complex moments in your work. It's interesting to watch your farm develop and expand, thank you!
Enjoy your informative videos, thanks for sharing things about your operation. 🙏🇺🇸😊
Great vid sir, very cool to see what goes into a dairy cow. Great idea on your dad
I was really curious about how the forms moved, thanks for showing that. Stupid simple, I had it in my brain that they were slip forms.
Your videos are great Eric! So have the unloaders in the silo changed any to where you don't to climb up each time you move the unloader down?
