Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Today we are baling some more second crop alfalfa hay! We have 13 acres to bale today and it won’t all fit on our wagons. So we need to unload while the baler is still bailing. Let us know what you think of our salt trick and the way we stack/store hay. Thank you all for watching. Enjoy the video!

Putting hay up the old way, makes the heart feel good!
Boy watching you guys baling hay takes me back to when I grew up we raised beef cattle and watching you folks stacking bales in the barn and spreading the salt just like we did it was hot at times but I still miss the work good memories.
Thanks folks for sharing your daily and seasonal work it's great to watch, most people don't have a clue what's involved daily on the Farm!
Being retired from the farm I miss doing alot of things on the farm .Putting hay bales up next to a hot tin roof is NOT one of them. Keep these great videos coming!! Thanks😊
Same here. But it's fun telling grandsons that they don't know what real work is like 😅
I grew up in a family of nondrinking protestants. After dad sold the farm, I hired on at a farm run by Bavarian Catholics. Being the low man on the totem pole, I got that job you mentioned of stacking hay under a hot tin roof. However, I got to enjoy an ice cold beer that they rewarded me with after every load. My family would have frowned, but that ice cold beer made the sweat and misery worthwhile. 🤫🥵🥴
I am for one that misses doing hay I love it and is some of best exercise you can ever get a lot of these young people these days it would do them good to spend the summer in a hayfield to teach them and work ethic
Good content on agriculture technology, though I wish there were more comparisons with older methods to highlight the improvements.
What a blessing to have all that high quality hay in the barn ready for winter. I am sure the cows will appreciate it too!!
I appreciate your elevator/conveyor system. My dad had a 5 boy conveyor in the big barn. Great video again.
You guys are a hardworking bunch. I hope it all pays off for you in the end and have a successful crop season.
I think the payoff is the process of doing the work as a family and keeping the operation going so you are able to do it all over again next year.
What a great view of your house from your hayloft! I was thinking how hot it must be up next to that roof, however. I remember your Grandpa Wisi telling of a time when he first started farming and he had put up hay just a tad too wet and he found ashes in the haymow when he was throwing down hay that winter. God was sure watching over him and his family then. I am so glad to see that you are taking extra special care to ensure the hay cures properly and safely.
Not a better feeling than the barn full of great hay
Crazy as it sounds I miss those days!
I remember doing that it was so much work but so nice to have a barn full for winter feeding. Thanks for the video keep them coming!
That’s a pretty slick elevator system, ours was a little giant with a bale chute that was powered by electric motor.
Glad you are having a good growing season. Dry in many places
Thanks so much for sharing the video. Beautiful hay. Going to be good feed for the cattle.
Love havin hay in the barn
So much work! Good job folks!
Gierok farms love your hay videos summer time at its best
Great video. We never had a conveyor in the hay loft. Had one to get the hay up there, then it was manual work
God I can’t imagine how much you sweat doing that. Again great video Aaron. Love to see the family, it’s great❤
PS,
Thanks for the video I enjoy watching it
Reminds me of our farm in 1978. Was a wet year also and hay piled right up to the conveyor in every mow. We stored about 20 on the conveyor also.
Been away from the Tube for a while ,nice to come back to Gierok Farms . What a view . 👍
What a blessing to be able to have all of that hay and they look really good as well. I hadn't a clue on the number of bales. Take care.
Great team work
We had a old barn in WISC that we drove in the mow. That barn had hand hewn logs and thick plank floors- never broke thru
Great video for sure
Great hay crop and you you still have 3rd crop to go. Thanks for sharing.
You ever stop to think about how much weight those barns are holding, it's crazy heavy.good job.
We had the barn full to the peak and one of the steel lally columns started bending. We were able to jack it up with the 100 ton jack and put in a couple more posts.
I have never heard of salting hay. I have done dry hay my whole life. It makes sense
Great video thanks guys
Those conveyors in the mow must be nice. We unload through 3 doors on the side of the barn it works ok we just have to carry a little farther. Keeps us in shape I guess. You'll be about a third of a load I guess.
thank you
👌👏👏👏 Awesome ! 👐Thank You! ( N.G Ind)
Enjoyed farming but did not like milking. 150 cows. 3:30 every morning and 3:30 every afternoon. Glad those days are over!
Typical old rickety barn ladder we had a few, one the barn cats shredded , used it as a scratching post, my uncle just nailed a 2x4 to it and kept on using it lol 😅
good job!!
Nice video Aaron
It would be interesting to hear how many small squares of second you all have put up.
Got to be a good feeling to have a barn full of quality hay. Will you round bale any of the straw??
Never heard of of the salt trick smart idea
Man, you all baling brings back fond memories! I noticed the tank on the baler with liquid, what is that for?
inoculent
How many Bales does your barn hold ? Nice watching your family working together.
Good luck my friend 👍👋👋👏👏👏🇲🇦🇺🇸
How many bales will those racks hold? Another good job done for now.
👍
How full is the barn? It's claustrophobia-full! A good feeling to have the feed for the winter.
Great awesome video , too many small squares for us . We do big squares and round
Please explain why salt helps damp hay - I'm puzzled since salt will draw moisture and make a wet spot on cement. Thanks, really enjoy all your teaching!
It’s also a preservative… like salt curing. The cows probably enjoy a little seasoning too…
Good video, question where's Mason?
I've always stacked hay cut side up I have noticed you stack strings up
In Ireland we call it an elevator not a conveyor
You can call it whatever you want,as long as the job is done .LOL !😓
@@michelchartrand7257 yip so right
In Kentucky we call it an elevator also.
Outside I call it elevator. Inside and horizontal is a conveyor
@@aedenjohnson6103 Well I'll make it easy for you ,why not call it a eleconveyor,there the problem is solve LOL !
How many bales does your barn hold?
Seeing that ladder you just climbed- - be careful! Those old wooden ladders rungs look a bit shaky
Damn
Bins are for grain. Mows are for hay and straw.
That's the worst part of little bales stacking them in the top of the barn next to the roof on a hot day , must say the hay looks some cracking stuff , nice and green full of leaves bet it smells good too , You must be coming to the end of hay now everything seems to be full
LOL your contest made me think of a place I worked at 30+ yrs. ago. We were on flat rate and the office kept track of our output. Every month our foreman would check it and put our picture on the bulletin board as the EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. LOL he would say does not mean shit but you look so cute on the board.
I would say 2/3 full
2/3rds
U can afford sent the winner a hat from ur merch 😊
Didn't get the John deere round baler machinery is to high in price 😊
45 bales left
How many square baled do you try to bale each year ?
What's in the tank on the back of the baler?
Someone above was saying it was an inoculant. I had to look the word up and I guess it is to help keep the hay from getting moldy or spoiling.
Preservative
I'm guessing 32 bales in the final one
beautiful countryside! deer lease available?
Are you going too do you 3rd cut alfalfa
What's dad's thoughts on deere going to mexico
18 bales
You don't have to shout. We can hear you!
Haha
Surprised you only rake it single in the hills. I farm hills and have a NH 273 and everything besides 1st crop is always doubled up.
How many cows total do you have
3/4 of a wagon load
60 bales
What state are you guys from?
Wisconsin, USA
Wisconsin, USA
47 bales
I am going to guess 52 baled
What state are you in?
They are in Wisconsin. The badger state. Cheese head country. Me, I’m from the neighboring state of Minnesota. The Gopher State.
53 bales
Any questionable? Hey, I built a stack outside and put a plastic tarp over it. Be you don’t want to burn down your barn.
Half
Half load
The Gadsden flag should not ("must not" by law) be flown "within sight of" the American flag or "without proper flagpole separation." Be TRUE patriots----follow the law! Reference: United States' Federal Flag Code.
While many may think that flying the yellow flag on the same flagpole with our "Stars and Stripes" ("Old Glory") is acceptable ( providing only that it's lower than our Flag) even the most cursory reading of the Code would disabuse them of this belief and/or practice.
Why would you put a comment like this, if anything they should follow the law and fly it upside down
@@adammenke229 Perhaps my experience as a combat medic (68W) in RVN colors my view of and respect---even reverence---for the Flag. But I don't expect you'd know anything about that, wouldja?
Why don't you go to the capital and take down the gay flag then, oops is that wrong wording, rather then bash a farmer
Go do something about the ones burning the flag!!, leave these boys alone their feeding your asses
You are yelling at the camera, and just way too excited. I do like your videos and your farm. It’s very much like the farm I grew up on, except a Nobel thrower. One neighbor had a bill through her that was it the other 25 neighbors just bailed all square bales, and mainly took them onto a rack.
getting tired of seeing stupid hay...something else....
Late dinners
26 bales
