    11:30 at night after working all day, the last thing I would want to do is climb an 80 foot silo. But you do what has to be done. Well done, sir.

    It's amazing to see how much has changed since I started watching your channel three years ago, Eric. I've learned a lot watching your videos over the years. For example in what places to find mountain dew. Or that you should always take a manure scraper with you when going on the ice. Always love the little humorous parts.
    Keep up the good work Eric! We should really thank God for hard workers like you.

    This is hard and long work Eric, that was a long day of raking and combining. I'm sitting here in quarantine and I see a video from 10th generation farmer and say to myself, Yes, this will make the time go by a little better. Thanks Eric Aloha brother 🙏

    You sir have succeeded in producing a really detailed and high quality video on the start to finish process of harvesting haylage. So if my calculations are correct you & your dad just put in about an 18 hour day of hard work to make sure your cows get quality feed. So they will produce quality milk for all of us to enjoy. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. And for the extra care and effort you put into making these high quality videos. I am now going to enjoy a glass of cold milk with my pie. Have a blessed day!

    Great video as always but I have a question. If you are trying to get the feed dry before it goes in to the silo why do you add water when blowing it up into the silo? Have a great day! Also you didn't say bye just kidding you must have been very tired after a long day of farming! Thanks for sharing!

      You have seen the green build up on lawn mower blades, the same thing will happen to the paddles on the blower. A little water will remove that build up, which is lignin, and lets the green chopped hay slide off the paddles with out any sticking.

    Thats a beautiful second crop. We never had a blue silo on our farm, now i'm glad. Top unloaders were pain enough. Our neighbor need air bags replaced, one sat evening the harvestore mech walk into the parlor and announced the bags were changed. The neighbor went white!! How did you do that? The silo is empty! The mechanic was walking on a 3ft crust at the top of the silo-80 ft in the air. Then he went white too.
