- Chopping Corn Silage near Versailles Ohio with JMAR Farms
In this video I am out in the field with a dairy farm near Versailles Ohio as they are chopping corn silage for their dairy herd. This family dairy farm has a local custom silage harvester (JMar Farms) chop the corn silage with one of their Claas Jaguar 960 self propelled forage harvesters and fleet of trucks.
Video has a goof mix of drone and on the ground shots from the field and the silage pile. Their is a mix of tractors pushing and packing the silage pile and some of the tractors belong to the farm and others to the custom harvester.
I was impressed with the skill of the chopper operator...there was no spillage/blow-over on the silage trucks. Saving a few minutes and wasting valuable feed can end up costing a lot of money in the end with todays prices for inputs. Quite a fleet of leveling/packing tractors at the silage pile.

I'm in Celina and love watching these
My favorite job on the farm. Love hearing the chopper cutting silage.
Steiger action on the pile is nice to watch😃👍 great video👍👍
Great seeing the old Steigers still earning the keep !
That's a very good idea having tractor tires on the rear wheels of the transport truck. A great video and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike. Fun watching the Pit Packing. The Cougar sounded a little uneven.
These video's are insane and insanely satisfying to watch.
yub
Really enjoyed! Thanks for the video.
*Very nice Machines*
Excellent video brother 👍
Love the Videos
I like Mike less videos on UA-cam from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
Well done!!!! thanks.
Your usual excellent chopping video, thanks for sharing!
Great video as usual
Keep up the good work love watching you on UA-cam
Another great video. Love the silage harvest videos!
Great video as always Mike
Loved seeing those two Steigers! The NH's too, but it's a rare day to see the Steiger's packing piles IME.
love too
Greart videoing mike
neat video mike i like watching your videos keep them coming
I only had a straight truck to haul the silage and the chopper was pulled by a tractor in the old days, mid 60's
Love the steiger tractors, I used to drive a pta 325 back in the 80's. Loved it
Good video.
I really like choppers
Those truck drivers must have been bored. Never seen silage truck driver that didn't drive like they were running moonshine on a suspended license 🤣
Man those steiger tractors sound pretty darn good
Couple of steigers on the pile,that's a first.
👍👍
Got me wondering about the transmission oil in the Steigers on the pile. I had been told that some of the older 4x4 tractors were susceptible to transmission damage from poor lubrication when working on very unlevel surfaces for periods of time. Does anyone know if there’s any truth that that??
😎😎
Love these chopping videos! Why are semi trucks run the field during silage but not for other harvests?
So, I have a question for the Americans here. Why is it that in basically every grain harvesting video (yes, I mean specifically the one with combine, NOT forage harvesters) everybody is using these hopper trailers, when very obviously these big trailers like in this video exist?
The hopper trailers seem HORRIBLY inefficient to me. Lots of space not used because of the sloping bottom, when a trailer with a moving bottom that scrapes backwards could offer so much more space for grain.
Is there some magical advantage to the hopper trailers that I am unaware of? NOBODY here in Europe uses these.
Corn silage is generally always chopped in fields very close to the farm so not much road travel is involved.Also a load of corn silage would not be as heavy as pure grain. Grain corn is generally always hauled farther down the road and they would likely be grossly overloaded if these trailers were full of shelled corn versus silage.
@@farmhandmike is grain corn that much heavier than chopped corn? I would have thought it the other way around, given that silage is the entire plant and generally higher moisture than grain.
Still tho, couldnt one build a trailer with the exact same outer dimensions as the hopper trailers, but have it be a "conventional" trailer? I mean, grain is hauled over long distances here in Germany too, and we use bigger trailers than that.
How come he is only every taking in 9 rows at a time?
Then if any corn is hanging out or tipped they get it all. These guys are pretty particular on doing a clean job.
I'd really enjoy operating a forage harvester. They are just corn eating monsters!! Drine footage👌🏻🫡
