    Another great video. Dad and I used to custom chop hay and corn in the early 70's out in Washington State. We put up dry chop alfalfa for a cubing plant and then 200,00 plus tons of corn silage in the fall for a big dairy and feed lot. Interesting way to double crop on this farm I never chopped any "wheatlage" before. Good concept. Thanks for your technical descriptions. Even an old farmer/Retired Truck Driver can learn something new.

    The ability of the combine to handle the size of windrow coming off the merger is amazing to me.

    Interresting to see and hear. Here in europe I should say that making the pile with wheelloaders is the most common way to do it. Thanks for another great video Mike!!

    That maize silage stack is a sight to behold. Probably ten times the size of ours. Whole lotta face exposed though but I guess they wanted to get it out of the way so they could build this stack

    Nice thing the windrow doesn’t seem to rope the wheatlage like a rake does. The forage harvester works better. Just a observation. Thanks Mike 😎

    Hi ya Mike. Thank you for another fine video. That two tone semi is a lovely looking truck. Was the guy who mowed the crop having GPS issues? There seemed to be a lot of tufty bits across the field.

  • @charleslloyd4253
    @charleslloyd4253 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A tractor with a front hitch and PTO. Having to run over the hay driving part of it into the ground. Because the windrow can not be mounted on the front. A front mounted merger would provide cleaner more nutritious hay.

    Once again you make me feel like I'm out in the field, part of the team. It brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks Mike. Was that a hog finishing unit in the background? Dairy and hogs??? Wow great diversification in agriculture. Great stuff Mike.

    • @farmhandmike

      Yes the field they were chopping in had hog confinement building in the background.

    How many cows does that support?

    Thanks for the video Mike! You sure can hear how uneven the windrow is by the sound of the forage harvester! Very hard on the drives! There may not be anyway to get around it?

    Great explanation as I've never come across wheat as silage. Do you allow the wheat to wilt, like you'd do for grass silage? As that looked mighty green in the row. Originally from Northern Ireland btw.

  • @carsonnuckols8834
    @carsonnuckols8834 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Out here in California they do it the same way after the wheat is taken off for silage corn is planted in right behind the choppers, but we have everything irrigated so one pass with the swather is near bigger that that windrow that that merger is making😂

    • @nialldaly7108
      @nialldaly7108 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It must be very soft stuff. That looked like 60' rows, You would not pick up 60' Grass row in Ireland or the UK at that speed. Also, you set corn after taking out the wheat?????. Wheat, Barley, Oats and Maize and others are all corn. Do you mean you set Maize after the Wheat.
      By the way can anyone tell me why in the USA you don't build the clamp with straight sides, Get more into a smaller space, less plastic for covering and so forth. I see clamps where they go up one side and off the opposite side, Why? Seems like a waste of space. Just curious. At 25:00, that looked like a nice clamp of stuff with nice high sides. What would be the average herd of cattle for such a farm and acerage of silage, all types.

    Long time since I've heard it called a "buckrake", not since I left the UK.
    Must have had a rookie on the mowers, fair bit missed.

    • @nialldaly7108
      @nialldaly7108 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was just about to add a similar comment. It a guy did that in Ireland or the UK he would not get away without a severe slagging at the very least.

    So,,,they feed this to DAIRY COWS...who make MILK.
    Is there a CHOCOLATE silage...for you know chocolate milk?
    Or...is it simply feed to Chocolate Cows?
