- Today we have officially started chopping corn! We are opening up the fields today, and it did not go as smoothly as planned. We plugged the chopper up so tight it almost killed the tractor. We hope your start to fall harvest goes smoother than ours. Thank you all for watching!

My dad never silaged anything. Corn was kept in a crib and hay was baled. My uncle on the other hand, had a huge silo and would fill it with corn silage. One of my favourite things as a kid was visiting my uncles farm and going into the barn just to smell the corn silage. The added bonus was watching all the drunk birds who ate the fermented corn at the bottom of the silo.
Been there done that lol...many times. I don't like seeing guys breakdown, I do like when you guys have issues that you just correct it and keep on rolling I don't think I've heard you or your father complain about anything ever in a video
Like how you keep it REAL! Breaking down, getting stuck and all the other experiences of farming! That life!
I’m still waiting for the farm channel that doesn’t have trouble, even with brand new equipment
Cleaning the cobs out of the super M
I'm impressed the ole farmall MTA can throw that much wet silage and not get bogged down
Another great video. I love to see the M working!
"Nothing like the excitement (and chaos) of opening day for corn silage!
My uncle opened corn fields two ways, First he would plant the two outside rows as sweetcorn then when he started chopping he would just run them over seeing that the sweetcorn was done, second way he opened the field was by hand, he would hand chop around the sides that didn't have an open field next to them and hand chop the corners to make the turns, he would feed out what he hand chopped to the cows in pasture and give some to the pigs if he had any that year. Love the sound of the old Farmall Mta on the blower , my uncle did the same lol
we did that also, using hand sickles to take down the 2 outside rows, put the stalks in a pile every few feet, that got hand feed into the chopper, and cut "V" notches into the corners so the tractor could make the turns,
I don't like seeing anybody break down because I know what it's like but you just showing that you are real keep it up and stay safe
I think my favorite part of this video is seeing the super M TA on the blower. 👍
Nice video Aaron
LoL that old M is getting a workout
I've never seen one of these clog. That sucker was jammed.
Great awesome video
Hate to see breakdowns, but a clogged spout is just a hassle, nothing broken but maybe some bruised pride 😮 I ran NH pull types, and they had a slip clutch on the blower. After a clog or 5, they needed adjustment. Great video, corn almost to the cab top, and the big 7810 was using most of its horses. The MTA was really getting a workout with the Gehl blower!👍👍
I hate to see you guys break down and have to deal with that, BUT, it's usually really educational listening to your dad and how he fixes it.
Great video for sure loving it
Great video Gierok Farms i enjoy all of your videos keep up the good work ya do in making all of your videos!!!
You made Jackie do all the real work while John just drove around 🤣
The hours ive spent unplugging the chopper 😂 At least you guys have a smaller one lol
Größer ist halt nicht immer besser 😅
At least it wasn't the blower pipe on the silo that plugged!!! All part of the farming experience. You had a good plan of attack for the first day...easing into things and testing the waters before going full bore.
MOW * NOT now
I'm 67 now & I sure miss all of it !! 😪😥😐🙂😀🥰 I am a Hodgskins Lymphoma survivor & a 10 year Army disabled Combat Engineer Veteran , I would come home on leave & 1 of the 1st things I would do is go see my Aunt & Uncle then retired & talk about ol' times they're long gone now , along with all but 2 cousins who are now in their 70's .
Corn looks good, I’m surprised your yield is down . Nice seeing the M still making a contribution . Great video fellas , what a view
For some reason, I can't recall you putting the corn silage into the silo, but it just must be that I'm getting old. Anyway, its always interesting and I learn each time I watch you. Thanks for the video and hopefully things go well after this.
I have never seen a chopper plug up like yours, but Aaron gave a good explanation for it. Go Aaron! You make a good team and I hope you can both work together for many years to come.
Man, I miss the smell of freshly chopped corn. That was one of my favorite growing up was filling silos. Dad’s 730 case comfort king diesel on the blower.
Good video, enjoyed watching it 👍. Regards from Down Under.
I love chopping silage and your videos are so great too watch and brings back lots of memories!
me too
I hate to see anyone broke down. Seems like we are broke down more than we are running Gets aggravating sometimes
We have a pumpkin cannon and ours is air powered we are i southern Ohio
Thanks for posting
Thanks for sharing another great video.
So ein hochsilo ist eigentlich das beste. Man hat keinen müll wie bei ballen das futter ist am Hof. Nur hier in Deutschland wurden die meisten abgerissen wir hatten auch zwei aus Holz
Where in Deutschland are you from?
GOT SOME BEUTIFUL LAND
Headlands usually more weeds , generally foxtail . Chopping Corn Silage is the 3rd best thing about dairy farming ....new calves born second ...and getting to cash the milk check is the best thing ....granted if you're actually making any 💲 🐄🚜🧀🤔🤗😎
Excellent Job!! I'm cheering for you!! (I don't like it when you're broke down or stuck lol)
I have watched your videos since they came out. This is the first time I realized you used a silo.😮
The drone shot at 10:10… didn’t realize the farm sat in such a bowl. I see why water runoff can be an issue now…
I Always seem to break down or plug something where the neighbors can see me
Oops.... Plugging the chopper happens sometimes.
Does that silo start out in the ground?
How many loads to fill your silo?
the plant ran out of Nitrogen
Beautiful farm
Nice job guys..have you ever considered going to a deere chopper? We went from GEHL to 3950 deere and would never want to go back..good luck..
I don't like it when anyone breaks down. Or plugs up, I can remember getting our old MF 550 combine plugged front to back and let me tell you there was nothing fun about that. Myself I wasn't as nice as you guys were my dad and I would have been kicked off the You Tube for sure by the time we had it going
I have never smelled corn silage but I can imagine what it smells like. Good.
we love seeing how you handle the unexpected. ps. what happened to the corn picker?
Love your video---Why cant you take a dozer and push back about 10 feet of dirt so you can get your trailer unloaded at the silo with out jamming it in that small area. push back some of that hill.
Wow in my opening it up I didn’t know I said what it will go to the last and found filling myself I can’t no
You really shouldn't cut corn silage until the black layer appears at that time the plant will be at the right moisture
Always plugs when you are along the road doesn't it!
Nice to plug on main road so all the neighbors see it then have to mention it when they see you rub it in a little 😊
Whenever something goes wrong or breaks, it has to be by the road.
corn silage is expensive feed
