    I was amazed by how brilliantly the bunker-filling process was choreographed from the the non-stop harvesters to the plastic rolling and tire stackers! Plus I want to applaud you for your wonderful editing, especially how you master the sound so that you don't hurt our ears with sudden spikes in volume from saws and loud equipment. Your channel deserves an award for presentation and content! Bravo!!💗

      i have a question , approx how many cubic feet of silage will each of the bunkers hold?

    Filling all three in one go is setting yourselves a big challenge. Great to see all that winter feed secured. And not forgetting the other people who are doing the milking etc. all this while.

    Eric I have watched every video that you’ve posted to TH-cam long time fan of you and your father and I would just like to say I couldn’t be prouder of the job that you and your father do, both you and your father are prime examples of what hard-working decent people can accomplish, while being so beneficial to others as well. Keep up the good work and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

    Back in the day when we still had our dairy I remember the bunker getting filled with chopped corn and that unique smell as the D-8 Cat pushed and packed the silage down making sure it would be ready for winter. Then when the snow was flying the cows were so happy to get that steaming hot silage to warm them. Thanks for the memories. It makes me want to milk a cow. LOL.

    Thank you for posting this process. I live in a rural area with dairy cattle and have always wondered about silage. There is a lot of corn grown in my area and I see the harvesters working in various fields, collecting crops. I am pretty familiar with hay production,but you have shown me another product. Thanks for your hard work and efficiency!

    Love your Chanel. I’m learning a bunch about dairy farming. Great videography Eric. I want to complement you for your wholesome character. I can leave my grandkids watching & not have to worry about crude comments, or foul & vulgar language. You & your family are a class act. Thanks Eric.

    Wow Eric! You and your family have taken corn silage harvest to a whole new level! Tremendous video footage including detailed audio! Congratulations and job well done. Back in the 80’s when I was dairy farming. Bunker storage was kind of frowned on because there tended to be a lot of spoiled feed. However the way you are using the plastic liners and inoculates. Along with your incredible fast harvesting team. You have really transformed bunker storage into cost a effective feed storage system. Compare your system to vertical storage silos. And I don’t think there is any way that you could have harvested 3,000 tons and blew it into vertical storage in 24 hours. Plenty of good feed now for the girls going into winter. God’s blessings….and now get some sleep😊

    The amazing scene of the harvester throwing the chaff from the field directly into the bunk. That's what catched my attention on the thumbnail and after that I just kept watching every video of this channel as soon as they were launched.

    Hi Eric. it is interesting to watch different farm operations. Your bunk solutions are very different from the other farms I watch over in the UK. And your solutions seem a lot better thought out and efficient and useful to protect the silage in the bunk. I think your model could be duplicated on other farms to better their operations.

    Can't believe it's the fifth corn silage season already. Been following your channel for the past 4 years and I'm always looking forward to new videos. Great job once again with this one.
    I was also thinking. Would it be a cool idea to make a compilation of best/funniest moments for new years eve for example? I would like that. If you end up making such a video, you know that the dairyman ice slip save definetely has to be in there😁.

I'm about to go into my masters (4th and final) year of Renewable Energy Engineering at university so I'm very happy to see you get them installed. I was thinking of messaging you a year or two ago to offer to do a mock solar design for your buildings - glad to see you came up with the idea too. Would like to have the solar PV topic come up more in future videos. All the best.

    When I was a kid growing up in Northern Indiana we did almost all of our harvesting around the clock, but we used the night most. 6pm to 8am was go time. It avoided working in the heat of the day and traffic. Plus there's a vibe about working in darkness by the flood lights of the machines. Made it not seem like work as much without the blazing heat.

    Around 55-58 yrs ago my Dad was helping my uncle pack silage and Dad tipped the tractor over backwards !!! He didn't get hurt they turned the tractor over and kept on working !!!
