Hey thanks for watching the video!
Prayers up for rain for all the farmers who need it! ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
Another great video, Jan. Silage looks beautiful. Almost a miracle with so little rain. Your operations show your Dutch thriftiness and hard efficient work. Good, clear explanations. Specially like the drone shots. You sure have a good team there. Good on you all.
As the Scripture says in Luke 1:37 Nothing is impossible for God He Can even Raise the Dead which No man can do one of the verses is John 11:41-45 and there's multiple more in the Scriptures HE say's I am the resurrection and the life in John 11:25 then comes the action in verses 41-45..
Great silaging video, Jan. I'm so old, I remember when most straws were made of paper!... It's kind of 'nostalgic' 😆 Plastic straws were ubiquitous by 1970.
Well done Jan . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, 🇨🇦
when i remembered the plastic straws first came out, they were GLUED to the box.
Growing up on a farm, I totally get your excitement for such a good harvest. Happy for your success!! Great video as usual.
Glad that you are pleased with the yield. Hope they put the clip on the connector link in the right direction. Great video Jan, thanks.
Holy hell that was a big shed! I haven't seen that kinda shed by me in a while! Nice catch being able to not run it through the chopper.
Congratulations and well done! Glad to see your success. Brent is a wizard. Lunch in the field is a true treat. Prayers for rain and continued success!
Excellent vid Jan. You should see if *Carhartt* will sponsor you .
Perfect for Jan's bachelor pad living room wall, the antler
This May be a strange question but with 300 cows arend you able to buy a older type self driving chopper saves a lot of neck pain and it may even be faster
We also bougt one with our neighber together We have a boat 200 cows
The chopper is a johndeere 5820 old beast but stil gets the job done has almost 300 hp and a max working speed of 8/9 kmph
And We live in Friesland in the netherlands so not the best for dairy at the moment
I agree.....no paper straws ! Full silage pits.....good feeling !
Hello Jan, yes, I can see that you just can't get the FENDT out of your head. But I hope for you and Austin that this dream will come true soon. Greetings from Germany.Dieter Bosch
My response to people who tell me to get new or more equipment is , "If your paying for , Let's do it "
8:35 'its far more cost effective with the JF Stoll chopper' - your dad has developed quite a lean operation here from what I can tell. Most farmers hire out the silaging operation likely due to the cost of the chopper, but this JF-Stoll does the same thing for much cheaper. A Claas would be great to look at and may operate faster but this gets it done.
Jon.
Thank you, Jon, for the tractor walk along video. The teamwork of everyone in your chopping harvest team is great. Those alfalfa silage bunks look great. How many tons of barley do you think you will get. Jon, will Merriam be doing the barley cutting at a given moisture level to get the correct fermentation in the bunk? Please Take Care of yourself.
You are so so smart when it comes to farming and life in general. Thanks for all the wonderful videos..............................
Congratulations Kielstra Dairy on getting a better than expected yield on the alfalfa silage. Good stop on the deer antler Jan hope you didn’t run over any straw bails Neline didn’t find. We pray you get a good soaking rain to help your farm and help put out the fires in Canada.
That’s smart having a dedicated mechanic. Probably why you never seem to have mechanical problems.
Sure they probably have some problems but there would be a whole lot more if they didn't have that mechanic. It's a smart move on their part
Great video Jan, especially the drone footage is awesome. The chopper is picking up quite clean, I wouldn't change it either. With your Dutch/European roots I can imagine you would love to have a seriously sized Fendt in the barnyard, I would too LOL. One question: the intro on your channel says 'We are planning on growing the Dairy in 2018 so stay tuned for the new barn!!'. Is this still current / ongoing?
Jan another great video thank you. You never disappoint with your drone footage.
Great video. I like that you're smart on keeping it simple and cost effective. You were talking about tonnage. So how far will your feed go. A truckload of sileage will last how many feedings? so forth and so on??
Well feed around 2.5 trucks a day
@@saskdutchkid we have a new Holland fp240 we use case magnum 7250 to run it😊
Interesting video, Jan. Glad for you that you didn’t have any major equipment failures. You talked about how much silage you made in your first 3 days and I’m curious how much you need to be enough to carry you through a whole year?
Kid❤content put the fires out your killing me with the smoke!!!!!! PEACE
Great video. I appreciate the fact that you don’t waste money on an expensive chopper when yours works great for your operation
6-27-23 Hi Jan, not bad production for a "pull type " !!! Yes the SP's are nice especially the Krone line up, but very costly. I like your videos and how you and your sisters work together 👍👍
Great job my friend. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Nice videos! Been following for a long time and I'm a dairy producer myself in southern Quebec. It would be nice to share some info about the feed analysis like protein for your different silage type. Thanks and keepp on!
I love the comments, some guy wants to know if a bigger tractor would put too much ware and tare on the harvester, anyway what do you think the protein content of the alfalfa is? I would love to be able to grow alfalfa but here in Ireland we don’t have the climate for it, we start our second cut grass silage on Monday coming, with the same harvester pulled by 220 horses, we’d love 285 probably as much as you’d love 420 but it’s all about the economics of the system and we couldn’t justify ( or afford) a tractor any bigger so we do what we can. Just a bit of a question if the alfalfa is that dry why do you no drop off the duals to get a better compaction? Has to be a good reason but I can’t see it pits are safe not going much over the walls, is it just that it’s a bit of a job and not worth the hassle?
Instead of a big claas or new holland chopper that are pretty expensive you could just get a older but good used John Deere 7000 series chopper. They might not be a very big chopper but they are definitely not half a million dollars. They are also pretty reliable.
Totally agree with you Jan...No paper straws!!!! Thank you for another great video and the silage looks very bountiful. Can't wait for the next one with the rye. Have a gnite❤ Prayers for rain🙏
I finished cutting my second field of alfalfa today
The fields look like an art masterpiece. It’s so beautiful.
jan, i have visions of you at the wheel in a fendt. lots of style points.
Hi Jan, nice video. You are right, the JF chopper is a good machine with a very high capasity, and it is Danish quality too. Hello from Denmark.
Very special people
Nice don love to see your work
Been a long time since I've seen volume like that...bountiful harvest.
Good one thank you for sharing
Another great Video Jan.Thank you!
We still use a pull type chopper too there just as convenient
What's the purpose of the ally between the silage bunks? Why aren't the bunks wall to wall?
Great silaging video, Jan.
We're chopping over 18 tons to the acre corn silage at the moment in texas
Thanks for a great video.
if all the equipment that you have works good for you then that's good keep it, some big farmers like to go into big debt just to show and most of there equipment doesn't work any better
Jan, thanks for the video. Wouldn't a bigger horsepower tractor put extra wear and tear on the chopper? Stay healthy and safe.
Those deon choppers are rated for some serious horsepower.
Very informative. Rock on. 👍
Today here in southeastern Minnesota, we have a air quality alert, from the smoke in Canada.
Here in Southeastern Wisconsin just North of Milwaukee it's the worst it's ever been. The Haze & Smoke here today would make one almost believe the Fires are nearby and all around. It's bad.
If you are waiting on trucks with a pull type chopper you definitely don't need a claas, do what works for your operation
Ya can buy two new tow behind choppers for the cost of one self propelled chopper.
That's a great cut. Praise the Lord
A dion would look rowdy for you guys behind a new Fendt!😮😮
You and your sister always have great content
Nice video Jan as always I like watching your videos I'm also watching 10th generation dairyman & Northern dairyman in Manitoba close to your area I also watch your Sister's youtube channel as well as you're on their Milking videos and I like it and I hear your voice on her Difficuld goat Birth video as well as I Know your voice it's easy to tell it's you it's nice to see your Family in your videos it's nice to see another Chopping video Jan.
Hi Jan,
I have a question to your silaging. Is it No Problem with soil compaction If you Go over the field with Road tires on your trucks? I know this is Standard in Canada. But thats one Thing who comfuses me.... Because in Europe are field wheels in youse.
Here in Europe everyone has trailers hitched to tractors.
Great job!❤
how much total silage do you guys want to get for the year ? How much of that goes to dairy vs beef? Thanks , great video.
Whew, having that first cut under your belt with better than expected yields must have been a great feeling for everyone involved. Pat on the back for Brent, he did a bang up job on the harvester as well. Hopefully the rye goes as well for you.
Did you have to buy all sidewalls for weights
Love your videos keep them coming brother
I agree 🤦♀️ HATE PAPER STRAWS; so does my teen daughter who has Autism. We keep plastic straws (that we bought while they were still being sold) in our snack box in our van. We also have silicone reusable staws in our home.
The reason I can’t drink/don’t like drinking plain white milk is because of the paper straws and paper milk cartons in grade school 40 years ago. Paper and slightly warm milk did not go well together.
You guys should do corn silage.
Their farm isn't setup for corn. They grow barley instead.
Do you use the same inaculant for Alfalfa silage & Corn silage? And whats the brand of the inaculant?
ya hope you get some wet stuff! crazy everywhere across Canada FIRES EVER WHERE IT SEEMS!
The amount of silage you put up in this video
How many days of feed does that carry you through ?
According to his reply to another comment, they feed around 2.5 truckloads per day. So that's around 98 days of feed.
Do you happen to know why the yield looked pretty good despite the small amount of rain?
Q: What do you have between each silage bunker?
Are u guys ever going get a chance to demo a different chopper that would be also if u get a chance if u would get a different chopper what kind would u get.
Yun you should fill them loads 🔝😊
Hi great video Is that a jf 1050 It looks like one, that is what we call it in Ireland. Keep her lite.
Down with Paper Straws!
Love these chopping videos
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
Would you ever consider buying a wagon (Smyth/Meyer)
Home tour please!!
Awesome video 👍I'm all for kicking the paper straws too man. lol I had to laugh at u trying to get it in your kool-aid jammer😂 they are big on using them in Ontario too including 'wooden forks' and it flat out sucks. Your literally eating from a pine branch 🤨🤷♂️🥴🥴
Get the shorts on jan and get tanning 🤙
what is so satisfying about watching silage? its amazing!
16:11 how come the big blue machine and seeder is still outside?
Paper straws wrapped in plastic that's funny 😂😂😂😂!! Great video man
How many cuttings of alfalfa do you normally harvest a year?
Jan get yourself a leafblower and blow it of in the field.
hello. you have to invest in a 24 ton 3 axle trailer. Why don't they come with trailers?
'
Can u go put those fires out hard to see and breathe here in indiana Illinois state line in the states
Just curious, have you ever tried running another truck next to the truck getting loaded just as its about full and just adjust the spout to fill the other truck so you dont have to stop and go? Or does the chopper not have enough power to throw it that far?
2 trucks kept up no problem ?, did you have to wait on them ?
Nice shed 🦌👍🏻
You're dad smart man if it work good why go to a machine thst cost alot when the work. That what happen to alot of farmers. New mashine cost alot of of money. Hope everyone get rain
Thay mack a chopper for the self propelled cutter to I believe??😳😳😳😳
well if you upgraded to a selfpropelled chopper youd need more trucks and something bigger on the pile
What do you guys use to chop corn silage?
They don't grow any corn. They primarily use barley in place of corn.
How many times a year do you cut your alfalfa? In Wisconsin it's usually three or four times a summer.
Great drone shots
hi am from the caribbean an will like to know where online can i get alfalfa seeds to perchase online for my farm
Don’t get careless with the PTO. It’s very unforgiving.
Why dont you try using the blue tractor for the chopping?
There's no PTO on the 9882.
