Just stumbling upon your videos randomly dont know why it showed up in my recommended, but I'm glad it did. You have a great creative mind with a good sense for videography. Scenes like @ 0:37 seconds, are small things that add a huge amount of production value to your videos. I dont think a lot of viewers will see it and think much of it, but subconsciously it makes the videos way more thought out. Thanks for your content
I stumbled on your channel after watching some Welker's Farms video's. I'm not sure about your age, BUT you're one hell of a hard working young man, I really can't say anymore other than you have amazing parent's that taught you hard work from day one, and the one thing I appreciate the most from your video's of the family dairy farm. You guy's work your asses off to keep it clean and up to date, unlike many other dairy you tubers, I'm twice your age man and a disabled vet, but it would be my honor to attempt one day of your work schedule
Thanks for taking the time out of your already busy schedule to post videos like this, just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and subscribed soon thereafter. Your parents did a good job raising such a hard working son, kudos to them as well as yourself and every other farmer who does this on a daily basis.
This has been one of my favorites when it comes to harvesting. I think because it was done at night and you were able to get so many different perspectives. Great job !
Incredible video. In the late 80' I would never imagined how fast farmers cut hay compared to when I use to. Your videos are such outstanding. So much action and fast pace. Better than Bush Gardens or Kings Dominion. I do not know why you have to chop hay at night. That's why you are the Farmer and I am not. Thank You George Netroe Deltaville, Va
That’s a complex operation you’ve got there bro!! And kudos for being a young multi tasking farmer. Boys like you we choose to be officers in the military. Thanks for sharing, God bless!!
Looks like you're fortunate to have a dedicated custom operator not everybody jumps at the chance to work most of the night! Really good he understands that duty calls ! Thanks for the video!
I was just about to go milking but then saw your new video and had to watch it . I really like to see your videos Greetings from a 120 head dairyfarm in germany
First time ever seeing the process and the machinery you used on the farmland but that was awesomely satisfying! Seeing the whole process from beginning to end and discovering how your vehicles and machinery work together. It's so cool to see the large scale machines in motion, especially from only seeing this on a much smaller scale in a residential area with a regular lawn mower. A very interesting and educational video I stumbled upon unexpectedly, that tedding process looked like transformers!! haha, awesome work sir, keep on keepin on!
Greetings, as someone mentioned your channel just appeared for viewing and glad for it. You are a great worker and looking after your farm, AND I NOTICED YOU STICK TO STRICT HOURS OF WORK. UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE. CONGRATULATIONS.
I wish we had a harvester but just had the concrete block type. Mostly chopped corn and every now and the would put up oats. Was always fun filling the silos. We had our own chopper, blower and wagons. The first blower we had was driven by a belt from the tractor. Always used a WD45 Allis Chalmers and it took time to get the tractor lined up just right the the belt didn't come off the pulleys. The space was about 20 feet from tractor to blower.
I could watch you cut hay all day!! You had an awesome first cutting!! Totally amazing video shots very cool 😊 Thanks!! Be safe keep us posted always love watching 🌞
Man that blower really hogs the feed in. Glad to see you guys can get out in the field and get something done. We dont have a kerbal of corn in the ground in michigan. About a week or so out from chopping hay. If it ever quits raining.
You are to be recommanded for really looking after your equipment. Greasing and keeping it in good shape saves a lot of money down the road and saves you from fixing at times when it is very inconvenient to do so. Good for you !
Naw Bob nob, I'm just suggesting that this guy has such an exceptional work ethic (which most people his age don't) that any businessman would be lucky to have an entire crew just like him to ensure success. Not trying to exploit anyone here, I was honestly paying this man a compliment.
Its amazing how it gets that to the top. I done it about 30 years ago blowing corn silage with a different set up. Not sure the name but it had paddle like arms and slapped it up in a tube.
From what I've seen on some other TH-camrs in your area I bet your glad it's in the silo after the storms that just went through. I'm up by Erie and it's been so cold and wet grass hasn't grown much and I haven't done nothing yet in the fields. thanks for the great job on the videos.
🤗A very long day and the satisfaction of knowing that you have top quality feed ready to go. I just love your nice tidy big sheds, such an asset to be able to store your machinery under cover. On a different subject..... how are things financially for you farmers over there, have things gone backwards, stayed the same or improving?
Very interesting. I have never seen how alfalfa was processed like that before. I've only seen it cut and baled as hay. Why is the arm on the mower so long so that the mower sits a long ways behind the tractor, and why does the mower run offset to the tractor?
Love the videos keep them coming, you have very informative information that some people wouldn't think much of it. Do you have to have a manure management plan yearly. And as it looks you don't have wet spots as your ground is flat and no creeks nearby. Where again are you located at ? Are you married ? You should have your dad in your videos more and how many help you milk and how many cows do you milk 2x a day ? Do you look at any expansion in the near future. Who picks up your milk ? We have a milk plant here in Sanborn Ia. They just did a major addition to make more cheese and in September they started building a cooler to hold the cheese until its ready to ship to the buyers, our cheese plant is A.M.P.I. there headquarters is in Rochester Mn I believe. Our cheese usually gets hauled to the caves in Carthage Mo where its aged and cut up or shredded by Schreiber Foods. How big of a truck picks your milk up a semi tankers ?
Hey man awesome video I really love it bless you and all your family! Any tips how to plant the alfalfa over here en Mexico we do the things a bit different.
You prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Dangelo Elliot Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Nice video👍 Do you ted your alfalfa every cut or only first cut? I've been on a farm in ontario canada 8 years a go and than the mow their alfalfa and chopped it the next day without tedding. They did it only when the're making haybales. But it was in july and august so. But here in the netherlands we ted every cut and sometimes 2 or 3 times. And are their ane self loading silage wagons in your neighbourhood? In our neighbourhood in the netherlands i think 25% of the grass will be chopped and the other 75% with a self loading silage wagon. Greetz from the Netherlands Ps. I've been in lancaster county in october 2017. Get an icecream of the lapp valley farm. And seen a lot amish but also big tractors at hoober, inc. Nice place to be👌👌
We just ted 1st because it's heaver. The rest of summer we won't need to. I have never seen any self loading wagons here in the U.S. not sure why. That's cool, you were not to far away from me
Could you do a farm tour and feeding cows vid Please love your channel and videos never stop making videos or my life will be sad without your vids 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐮🐮🐮🔥🔥😎😎🐄🐮
Ive always wondered whem it comes to family businesses or farms that are family owned and worked...do you work simply because its part of your duty as a son or do you get paid a salary? And how does that salary compare to what you would ve paid anywhere else thats not rum by your family?
I just shut my harvestor silos down last year and switched to a bagger. You guys think you would ever do that? I no the harvestor silos aren't cheap to keep running, and a bagger is just as good feed quality, and alittle faster to fill.
Probably not. We used to use bags for corn silage but now have bunks. We like the silos for haylage and triticale. Harvestore silo are kinda pricey to maintain though
Excellent video Eric. What kind of velcro do use on the discbine to hold the camera? Thought for sure the harvestore would hiccup a Dew when you were closing the door. Maybe next time. lol

That’s a complex operation you’ve got there bro!!
And kudos for being a young multi tasking farmer.
Boys like you we choose to be officers in the military.
Thanks for sharing,
God bless!!
I had never seen alfalfa store directly into a silo. Always seen it bailed. That's pretty neat! Thank for the video.
Looks like you're fortunate to have a dedicated custom operator not everybody jumps at the chance to work most of the night! Really good he understands that duty calls ! Thanks for the video!
I was just about to go milking but then saw your new video and had to watch it . I really like to see your videos
Greetings from a 120 head dairyfarm in germany
Never seen it go directly into a silo. Learnt something new again. Great footage and camera angles as always. 👍🏻
This guy is class at everything editing,information and farming. I'm from a small farm and this is a great insight
I love cutting hay. Something satisfying about watching a field go from 3 feet tall to nice straight windrows
First time ever seeing the process and the machinery you used on the farmland but that was awesomely satisfying!

Really enjoy your videos Eric thanks for taking time out of a farmers busy day to make an post them.
I’m hooked! Can’t stop watching your videos man!Great work.
Wow great to see Americans working hard!!! Thanks for the videos!! America has always been great!!
Love the view from the chopper! Really gives a good perspective on how much is being cut and blown from that angle! Thanks!
I wish we had a harvester but just had the concrete block type. Mostly chopped corn and every now and the would put up oats. Was always fun filling the silos. We had our own chopper, blower and wagons. The first blower we had was driven by a belt from the tractor. Always used a WD45 Allis Chalmers and it took time to get the tractor lined up just right the the belt didn't come off the pulleys. The space was about 20 feet from tractor to blower.
I could watch you cut hay all day!! You had an awesome first cutting!! Totally amazing video shots very cool 😊 Thanks!! Be safe keep us posted always love watching 🌞
That ride along in the harvester was awesome Eric, thanks . God Bless
Hi Eric that was quite an interesting video you really had to move around on that job for me to be looking it was pretty cool thank you 👍🇺🇸
Great Impressive Farm !!! You are a VERY HARDWORKING young man... Keep up the great work...!!!
This guy is a genius and have good knowledge. Well done mate..
Looks like a good first cut Eric also good to see another video out so soon!
I bet it smells divine. You're making a lot of animals happy.
Man that blower really hogs the feed in. Glad to see you guys can get out in the field and get something done. We dont have a kerbal of corn in the ground in michigan. About a week or so out from chopping hay. If it ever quits raining.
Thanks for posting really love your videos
Love you and your video , thank’s from Egypt ❤️
Those are cool shades you are wearing, Eric! I continue to enjoy your videos. I had never heard the term "tedding" before. All the best.
2 of my favorite things to do when I was farming were spreading manure and mowing hay mis it so much
You are to be recommanded for really looking after your equipment. Greasing and keeping it in good shape saves a lot of money down the road and saves you from fixing at times when it is very inconvenient to do so. Good for you !
Great video! WOW! On top the harvestor with haylage going in at night! Have a great Summer!
Nice ride along in the Claus and the loading of the Gehl beater wagons and the Massey Tractors and the loading of the Harvester.
i love your camera work and all the shots u get thanks. feels like farm simulator
Good look from in the chopper cab! Good video.
Glad to see your back with more videos, see your staying rather busy, but it's that time of year. Keep on posting Eric, I watch then all.
love ur vids from farmer to farmer
Glad you are able to get hay made, looking nice!
I wish I had 25 of you for my business. I'd be a multi millionaire in 2 years.
Yay, exploitation.
Naw Bob nob, I'm just suggesting that this guy has such an exceptional work ethic (which most people his age don't) that any businessman would be lucky to have an entire crew just like him to ensure success. Not trying to exploit anyone here, I was honestly paying this man a compliment.
Its amazing how it gets that to the top. I done it about 30 years ago blowing corn silage with a different set up. Not sure the name but it had paddle like arms and slapped it up in a tube.
It's commonly called a blower and that exactly how this one works.
From what I've seen on some other TH-camrs in your area I bet your glad it's in the silo after the storms that just went through.
I'm up by Erie and it's been so cold and wet grass hasn't grown much and I haven't done nothing yet in the fields. thanks for the great job on the videos.
Yeah thankfully we didn't get much rain here this weekend, should be able to plant corn this week.
Awesome footage Eric
grew up on a farm I Love this guy. been watching for a while. please subscribe to this dude

Things have been slowly improving thankfully
@@10thgenerationdairyman thats heartening to know. Thankyou 🤗👍💖🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄
Keep up the great work brother
Nothings tall enough yet up my way to cut. Great video!!
much Love from the city of pittsburgh!
Dude, you are what I think of as a classic Midwesterner - knows what he's doing, self-sufficient, can-do attitude, fix it yourself approach....
He's in Pennsylvania though.....
@@justincormier1573 I guess there are good people like that in Pennsylvania too, eh?
I agree! I love your channel. Keep doing it.
Mate, some cool videos got. Never seen this stuff happening. Keep up good work.
We had a magnum 7220, it was a beast😁love your vids man
Nice job bro, May u go easy, I love dairy farm job, love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Just found this channel great content well done
Getting excited! Couple days out here in Eastern Iowa.
I live in upper New York... so many dairy farms.... with miles of corn an hay and straw...
great shot of the silo and blowing up top !
6:20 - beautiful cinematography
Great lesson on cutting and how its done
Very cool. We start chopping tomorrow up here in NEPA.
Very interesting. I have never seen how alfalfa was processed like that before. I've only seen it cut and baled as hay. Why is the arm on the mower so long so that the mower sits a long ways behind the tractor, and why does the mower run offset to the tractor?
Great video, nothing like fresh smell of cut haulage chopped. Best ever smell , I love it . We haven’t even started planting yet lol
That's rough, we have a bunch to do yet too
Wright farms Hoffman I don’t know I think freshly chopped corn smells just a bit better in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing. Very informative.
Great video man. Discovered you earlier last week and I'm digging everything you've been putting out!
Thanks!
Wow👍👍👍👍 good job on the video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Another great vid, thanx for sharing.
Looks like a good crop. Nice vid. What do u pay to have your forages chopped and hauled if u don't mind sharing.
love me some alfalfa :) great vid partner
Great video ☺️
Dude amazing video.learned so mucj
I like your videos. What part of USA is this farm? regards.

I’m from the city so all of these things look like death traps - even the thing in the silo in the beginning - such a dangerous job!!
Hey man awesome video I really love it bless you and all your family! Any tips how to plant the alfalfa over here en Mexico we do the things a bit different.
Retiring soon and doing research on starting a hay field. What is the difference between bailing or storing in a silo? Thanks for the cool video.
Thanks for the show, how much to run the farm gross costs, just wandering
Great camera work 👍🏻
Where in PA?
Drove on the turnpike to king of Prussia. Lot of hay down
nice video. Love from Indonesia!
1st cutting already! It's still 45 in northern Minnesota
Love these videos
Great video!! Keep it up!!!
Damn changing the blades on that mower is a pain compared to the Kuhn mowers, although we change the gearboxes all the time because they go bad 😂😂
You prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

Could you do a farm tour and feeding cows vid
Please
love your channel and videos never stop making videos or my life will be sad without your vids
🐄🐄🐄🐄🐮🐮🐮🔥🔥😎😎🐄🐮
Thanks, I did a cow feeding vid a while back
Tell your busy we dont see the mountain dew commercials anymore
Eric, I hope you are getting kickbacks from Mountain Dew, Pepsi, and Coke.
You should put a gopro inside the mower so we can see the blades
levi the chill Templeton that’s a horrible idea lol
First time I check your channel, very nice, like, subscribed and ring the bell from me, what New Holland is that, I could not make out
Thanks! Ts6.130
Love your videos! Thanks! Also, could you show how your crop of Mt. Dew is growing? Thanks!
at the end when you were up on the silo you could have spit on them and they would have thought it was raining lol but really good video
Made some pretty windrows!
Thanks for the great video 👍
Ive always wondered whem it comes to family businesses or farms that are family owned and worked...do you work simply because its part of your duty as a son or do you get paid a salary? And how does that salary compare to what you would ve paid anywhere else thats not rum by your family?

It's a magnet on my camera. Haha maybe next time
With the amount of greasing you have to do it would be wise to invest in a battery powered one ! 🏴
Great video. Thanks for sharing
I thought we went hell bent during harvest, you guys dont mess around, do u chop all your alphaha? Or do u bail some
We chop it all. Custom harvester makes it easier for us
With the mower blades do you guys sharpen them or just chuk them away? .cheers
Love the new Hollands we have a new Holland 313 discbine
