Hey thanks for watching the video!
I guess city jobs have the same reputation all over north America! In Louisiana we have one guy working, three guys watching, and 2 more guys watching the guys watching! Lol
You are all very hard working farmers. I give you lots of love and gratitude
*Sweet* 7000 tons should work out fine for you. Cool vid.
Great family, 2 wonderful sisters, mom, dad, finely tuned machine/farm. A+
Great video Jan. Thank you , family and crew. Thanks to whoever made lunch for y'all.
The fermentation process of the feed in the silo is similar to the production of sauerkraut, with the difference, that salt is added to the sauerkraut. Lactic acid bacteria, which occur naturally in the field, ensure this. Lactic acid bacteria are added on Jan's farm to be on the safe side. Normally not in sauerkraut production, because there are enough bacteria in the cabbage head. This is also the reason why the cabbage must never be washed, otherwise it won't work.
It is cool you missed the cows, says a lot about how much you care about the animals you are responsible for. Your crew works so well together which must make the job even with the breakdowns much easier to deal with as well. Dennis is a hoot. They all earned some ice cold Cervezas for sure.
Love seeing the machines work. Amazing engineering.Nice to see the rain even though it does mess up you work schedule. Glad you will make your goal for silage. Thanks for a great video.
Great video as always. That Dennis Dude seems to be a fun guy 😊
Blessings ❤ on your endeavors 😊
Same principle as to why alcohol dont go bad whiskey can be opened ,put on shelf and drank 10 yrs later and still good if not better as opposed to milk. Dont open milk and wait a year and drink unless you like sour cream and cottage cheese 😂😂😂. Just joking i know its not the same so relax keyboard professors. Great video Jan.
Great job Jan, family and crew....too bad the weather always comes at the wrong time. But glad all worked out.
It's not at the wrong time God brings the rain at the Right time when it's actually needed he brings the weather at the Correct time and it's good timing as well Amen.
Just pop that silage through your bioreactors and I get cheese! Cows are amazing.
So glad everything worked out for you all. The rain held off just barely long enough and keeping maintenance up, equipment clean and serviced is the key to making it all last. Good job, Jan!!!
Outstanding video Jan! Great to see nice results in a dry year. Best wishes on getting what you need from the 2nd cut and this end of 1st cutting rain! Sweet to see you take a moment to focus on your animals. Thanks for the video!
6:39 that looks beautiful. You have some good shots there, thanks.
It's always nice to finish up a job, but there is always another job right behind the one you just finished, those blasted breakdowns always show up at the most inoppurtune times but it's nice to have a great Mechanic like Brent. You are close to your silage goal maybe the 2nd cut Alapha will be a great surprise with the extra moisture
Jan, you need to make an air hose with nozzle that can connect up to the air tanks on the trucks to blow the radiator of the tractor when you're in the field. Thanks for the ride along. Aloha🤙🏼🤙🏼
Jan's skin is so clear and healthy ) in summer heat mine would be covered with a half-inch layer of sebum and sweat.
Dennis was so right. City work crew = 1 working, 2 watching, 3 supervising, and all are talking about becoming a union .😆😆😆
Hi Jan, It's great to see you and Neline filming the same silage but covering it from different angles both
literally and figuratively. You make great content, and although I have a farming background myself I can see that it is very informative to those who don't know farming up close. Thank you once again / danke wol (FRL) / Dank je wel (NL).
Good team👍
Hey Jan, good video, good Job👍 we use a small brush for cleaning regulari the engine cover. (8:15min) It is alltimes in the Traktor Cab... It's better then your fingers 😉 .
Greats from Belgium
Well done . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing, be safe, 🇨🇦
You must be at least relieved that you reached your yearly goal for silage, if not the extra margin you would have liked. It must be quite a weight off your shoulders!
Great Video!
Ok Jan, I would say it's time to change the channel name to SaskdutchMAN! Just a thought. 😉👍🏼
Can't believe you left that comment about unions on your video about dairy farming. Thanks for the explanation about silage.
I hope the job of standing on the plastic until spring pays well!
ever figure out how much area it takes to grow enough food for one cow? is it like an acre or more? ... what if someone just had like 10 cows on a small farm.. I guess they could graze during the summer but they would need winter food.
For blowing stuff off, including blowing out air filters, I like cordless leaf blowers. High volume and low pressure. Plus you're not tied to the shop.
Appreciate the education on this video. Been watching for years and still learning new things. City folk here 😂
You guys are lucky. Our friends near Dundurn are in a state of emergency due to no rain. No feed for livestock. Count your blessings.
For Americans to understand what we Irish do is clamp silage is feedabe after 2 weeks and bale silage is feedable after 6 weeks
Farmers here in North America do that as well. We call them bunker silos. Jan's sister Neline has a good drone shot of their 3 silos: ua-cam.com/video/LYoJsHU4qDE/v-deo.html They were freely piling the silage in this video, because their silos are already full.
I can't remember his name he was in the tractor with you at the last part, he always is smiling which is always good to be around. I've heard cow's hate rain how do they do in the outside pens? You do love and care about your "Ladies" !
Good video.
Glad that u got enough feed for the year the cows will be happy
Guys named Dennis are always hard working and fun to be around. Wind and bunker covers naked for no real fun.
It was a pleasure meeting you and your dad yesterday at ag in motion
Always impressed with how well you maintain your machinery.
good job! .... you need to carry a cordless blower for radator debris
Another very video Thank you
My family farmed outside Weyburn for years. My cousin still lives there and raises cattle. I spent my childhood there nearly every summer. Grandparents lived in Hallbrite. Such great memories!
Do ever chop peas for forage?Here in Minnesota the dairies plant peas with oats or small grains and it makes great feed.
Yes, they do.
Man the mice are big in Canada!
Any extra rain you can spare send it to east central Minnesota its bone dry here.
I'm sorry to hear you had a drought but I'm glad you still have reason for hope before the harvest of your last bit of crops. I know you grow crops just for your cattle but in any case, thanks to farmers for growing all the plants that I personally eat, including mostly wheat, black beans, and oats.
The food I prepare that makes me happy is whole wheat pasta and black beans with cayenne pepper. I eat it everyday and then treat myself to whole wheat bread with a nice, crunchy crust. Oatmeal is a health food dish I eat.
Just watching the SaskDutch Kid crew hard at work while enjoying my cup of coffee.
Hope the rain helps with the peas and alfalfa. Enjoy your hydration aka homemade refreshments 😉.
Thank you for explaining silage.
Our claas chopper has rock stop which is sweet, it would detect the wood before it got to the cutterbar.
Nice video! Getting close to 200k great job!
Get to the choppa..My best Arnold voice..😀
loving your life
Great videos
You need a sp chopper. We think ours is great
Usually those teeth have two springs on each one..So when you see two springs that's one tine..I could be wrong tho...
I just love your videos. Reminds me of the summer days I worked on my father's hobby farm. In my day we blew the silage into wooden silos. Farming has come a long way since then. By the way, you are so knowledgeable for such a young and handsome man!!
You know its a good day when Jan uploads!
Nicely done , family run farm awesome 😎
Need more Dennis!! Appreciate the current videos!
How much does a scroll of plastic on one pile of silage cost ?
It’s nice to see some farms made their quota. So many didn’t so prayers for all farmers .
👍
Saskatoon must be lucky, only 3 guys supervising sounds like a dream compared to the 4 supervisors and 3 guys on a smoke break per actual worker in Montreal
Hello Jan, chic, chic your t-shirt with the neon colors on the sleeve. Would like to know what it says on the farmer's chest. Greetings Dieter😄😄😄😄😄
Not sure what it says across the chest, but the sleeve says "Arnold Earthmoving Ltd."
Oh, thank you very much.@@MellowYe77ow
Have you ever tried a self propelled forage harvester to get the job done a bit faster?
i love your versatile and your video
How many inches/mm is a decent amount of rain? Love watching the field work. Hi Neline.
Another great silaging post, Jan!
What do you use for fly control
Nice video friends
Great video as usual. Love the farming life. Having lunch in the field. Family sure works very hard. 👍. Question. Do you not worry about mold starting in the feed under those plastic covers.
Mold can't grow without oxygen. That's why they chop the crop into little pieces, (Called chaff) and drive over the pile with their wheel loader. To push the oxygen out, as they built the pile. As long as the plastic stays sealed, there should be minimal to no mold.
Oh. Ok. Thaxx for the info. 👍
@@chrisryder1546 You're welcome.
Hi where’s the big case
It went down on day 1, with a PTO issue. (Possibly electrical)
Do uou sell silsge if you grow more than needed or just save it incase next years a bad year and you dont get enough? What percentsge of silage and beans and corn and barley that you grow??
They don't sell it, they save it for next year. (They do grow canola for cash cropping though) They don't grow any beans, or corn. It's all barley, peas and alfalfa.
Covering silage is always fun when its raining. Makes it a slip n slide. Steep giant corn silage piles aren't as fun. Need like 25 people tossing tires for an hr or 2 to even finish
Probably the best and most informative Farmer on the web. You really do an awesome job of keeping viewers interested and informed.
So.....do you have a full time maintenance crew???? It seems you'd need one with all acreage and animals you have...sweet👍🎉🎉 God bless
Brent is their one full-time mechanic.
How do u know them??
@@phyllishalley8972 I don't. I've just been following the channel for more than a year.
So, you break it and they fix it? Sweet deal!
Question… does a silage pile do the same thing as a silo? Or does the silo hold the fermented feed once it is ready for the cows to eat.
Silo holds dry grain. Silage is wet. Silage does not go into a silo
@@daveklein2826 No, dry grain goes into a grain bin. (Many people mistakenly call them silos) Farm silos are air tight environments for fermenting wet crop. There are both horizontal silos (As seen in Jan's previous video) as well as vertical silos.
Yes, the silage pile does the same thing as a silo. They just don't have enough silo space to hold all of their silage.
Another interesting video Jan!
If you were to get a couple good rains in the next week would it make sense to plant oats to chop for a bit of extra feed or does that not work out in sask?
Great video Jan
So tell me how does a chunk of wood end up in the middle of your field? Second time that I'm aware of.
Never a dull moment eh? Lol. Jan, I think you Jinxed yourself when you said "if nothing goes wrong"...Oops on you 😊. Glad the rains came and will benefit the rest of the crops. I can't believe how FULL OF DIRT AND WHATEVER ELSE THOSE RADS HAD INSIDE, WHOA 😮😮😮. Ps. That's such a Great team working together with your Family. So Awesome 🎉. Til the next one 🫶👐
You guys make me nervous being so close to that thing when it's spinning ! (3:29) 😳
Love that special hydration liquid,liquid lunch in a can
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
Silage can and is made from almost anything green that grows in the ground. Growing up in the Midwest, we used oats, clover sorghum, and other grains to produce silage. One of the best things about waking up at Zero-dark-thirty to do chores before school was downloading silage out of the silos. I always loved the smell of it, and of course the heat of it, since a byproduct of fermentation is heat.
Anyway, an auger would draw the silage out of the silo in a big long, horizontal trough that the girls would eat from.
The problem with silos, and probably why you don't see them anymore, is two-fold: falling/suffocation risks, and explosive risk. Every year, someone would die, either from the sudden stop at the bottom, or from falling into the silage and being unable to extract themselves. Basically, they would suffocate, not just because of the material, but also because of the lack of oxygen - the fermentation process is mostly anaerobic (lacks oxygen).
Every, single time we went out to the silo, we were strongly cautioned against working by ourselves, and about the dangers inherent in and around silos.
Hi what kind of silage do you have for your cows .thanks for your videos on youtube
They primarily grow barley, rye and peas for silage.
👍👍👍👍👍
Interesting stats at the end - Let's hoppe the 2nd Alfalfa cutting gets you to the 7.5 Tons + 🚜🚜 🚜 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🚜 🚜 🚜🚜
Why don't you plant rye into when you get down
and why peas???
it is practically the same as "Sauerkraut" or fermented cabbage what people did in the early days to have vegetables in winter
Champion anothere good harvest Jan enjoyed the show have a great day love from TEXAS
19 tones a day. Crazy!
Seems like you have some brilliant mechanics, to keep fixing the machines and getting you back up and running so quickly.
Well done for getting the silage in. It must be quite a worry that you might not have enough to feed the ladies.
Why don't you throw the cows out into the fields in the summer?
Question is it possible to grow sorghum on your land?
It's hard to expand your operation if you only produce enough food to maintain the current herd size. I guess in a crap weather year to are grateful to do that much.
Do you do any corn silage
How many acres total you run
No, it's too dry in their area for good corn growth. That's why they grow more drought tolerant crops, like barley and rye. They have around 2,550 acres of land.
Which is the heavier plastic, silage or bale wrap.
Hi there kitty is doing well
