Great to have it in the pit and you timed the covering well with the rain. Too many times the covering waits until the next day. You risk rain and the crop keep resiring and turning to compost for longer than it should.
Years ago I took the ends off the silage clamps just for the convenience of loading and packing from each end. Much to my surprise it made it ever so convenient for years I had extra silage. If needed, I just let the ramp angle out eeach end a few extra meters and that is a lot of tons.
Glad your crop of Maize 🌽 has worked well for you and your Cows. Just as well you have had a good summer. In the UK 🇬🇧 you would not be carting with those trucks last autumn. 😊
Sounds like its been really wet over there, hopefully you see some nice warm sun soon. Good thing about direct drilling the maize is that the ground is very hard once chopping time
Andrew, is there a place near you that does precast concrete panels? If you can get rejects of these it’s probably the best way to build a new pit. Have digger come in dig you half in the ground. Footings each side. Crane set panels for walls. Lay panels on compacted base for floor then drill and peg where the voids are for what were meant to be windows and doors and pour fill them. A bit complex but should be heaps cheaper than pouring a whole new pit.
Total area planted was 9.3 but I didn’t add that first lot (1.3) onto this one, but that leaves 8ha so by going 8.2 I might been a little bit high but being conservative 👍
Probably need a record number of rat/ rodent traps, control to go on the stacks too. The season for reducing the number of male pheasants starts on the 6th May.

Impressive watching the chopper eat maize from the air eats it so effortlessly 🤙

Hope it all the hard work will pay off in good feed for the cattle, looks very good when put in the stack.
Great video Andrew,glad to hear you had an awesome maize harvest.
Great to see the Irish boys flying the flag Andrew 🇮🇪
Great return on the maize this season, super stuff.
Always a few of them here 👌
@@TheOnceADayFarmer I cant say I blame them. If I was a bit younger and single I'd be over there too. 🙏🏼
Nice to see all the maize off Andrew. Could not help notice in the background when you we’re wrapping up the kids art work from Kiddy. Sooooooo cute 🥰
Haha yep there’s a fair bit of it around the house 😉
Good to get your maize 🌽 into the pits.

Hey that 8.2ha. Did you not already harvest 1ha which would make it 9.2 or so ha total?
Total area planted was 9.3 but I didn’t add that first lot (1.3) onto this one, but that leaves 8ha so by going 8.2 I might been a little bit high but being conservative 👍
👀🙄🐾👍Well done Andy you avoided the rain will you be sidedressing your maize next season?
Yes I'd say I probably will be, seemed to work out pretty well doing it
What happens to the ground after the maize has been harvested?

Was bucketing down at some points, hopefully it’s all good
