You know what you are talking about. Those who say you don’t are just trying to contradict you. I grew up on farm and farmed for many years and I agree what you are trying to present to the public. Keep up the good work.
It is just unbelievably that the choppers this day and age. Has enough power to handle that many rows and still blow silage that far. Into a wagon that far away. Incredible!!!
My grandfather was a farmer. But it was a Great Depression era small family farm with 7 kids/farm hands, 1 Allis-Chalmers, chickens 🐓, a cow 🐄 and around 100 acres. Nothing like this stuff. I am learning sooo much from you and the other farming channels on TH-cam. Plus, there’s something very satisfying about watching these big machines work. 😌 This is great stuff! Thanks Mike! 👍
I am a non farmer viewer but I grew up helping my grandfather with his 1 acre garden. He had a 1948 Farmall Cub and with the attachments he got he paid $750. Loved to walk barefoot behind him as he was plowing. Keep those great videos coming.
My dad and mother started farming less than a half mile from this farm in 1941 after moving from southeast Ohio along with my grandparents. After a year they were forced to move since they leased the farm. They moved farther north to farm another called the Hart place where I was born in December 1944. I still remember the steam trains that transversed before my eyes whenever I heard its steam whistle. Machinery sure has changed from back then when Dad worked a team of horses. It wasn't until 1948 he bought his first tractor, a John Deere B, and later an A. Sure were exciting times.
Fabulous Video Mike, Your video's are explained and shown very well, Ignore the Keyboard warriors who think they know more than you! they've probably watched five minutes of a TH-cam video and now think they are know it all farmers lol, Thanks for taking the time out to film, edit and upload these video's keep them coming. 👍
I'm not a farmer over the last four months I've been watching your videos and I really learned a lot from watching your awesome videos I didn't realize how many pieces of equipment that took to get the job done thank you for your awesome videos keep up the good work
Ive loved agriculture all my life but lived in the city and my interest in these videos is all the different tractors and and equipment and how its used and how certain things are done and how things in general work i love how you explain things
Appreciate all the detail you want to provide. The only thing I know about farming is how to spell it. I also know that somehow that huge mound of silage will someday be manure but what goes on between is a complete mystery to me.
I’m so glad you explain things, I knew very little about farming until I started watching farm-tubers. I had to research was corn silage was. It’s amazing actually, using the whole plant & allowing it to ferment naturally, preserving it for feed. We had a small barn & raised Boer goats for 4H kids(all blue ribbon winners, we did this so kids could get winning goats for a very reasonable price. Disgusted by overcharging kids.), chickens & had 2 miniature donkeys (our barn guards). That was farming knowledge.
Big thanks for what you're providing us with. By making videos like these you certianly entertain me for a good while. I haven't been grown up on a farm but I've found out that I got farmers blood inside me and have always been very interested in what's going on in the fields around me where I grow up. I was very pleased to see that there were videos about farming when I first searched youtube. The first channel I found was How Farms work, simply because of the name and then I've been watching your videos for a while now. I would never be able to see something like this otherwise. I'm often scared that comments will get youtubers to quit filming videos. I hope you will continue on. There are a lot of farm channels out there now so it's hard sometimes to get the time but I learn where to find good quality videos. I myself love the sounds from the fields a lot, kind of music for me. Keep it up and have a nice day.
Hey Mike I enjoy your videos, the are very informative, you explain the videos, the machinery and the process, I was a heavy duty mechanic for most of my life and worked on Cummins Engines in farm tractors first ones in the Versatile with the 555 V8 engines and just progressed. Now in my late 70’s still repairing the NTC and N 14 in the Case International/Steiger tractors. See many you tube programs and you explanations are spot on, see many comments of the not so smart people and just smile. Keep the videos coming. Cheers
There's nothing wrong with any of your videos they are always top notch haters will be haters don't see no one else making and explaining about the videos or the equipment keep them coming in
Great videos Mike!! Enjoying from the pine tree gardens in East Texas…. I was just wondering if the operator’s have a moisture meter in the chopper or if they just rely on their own expertise!!?
Hey Mike I think you do a good job and pretty factual info and your right about what they call processes by different names some shell corn others pick and some just combine.
I am amazed at how much wind there appears to be by the standing corn blowing around but it doesn't seem to affect the chopped stream going into the wagon. There is just so much coming out I would bet you would not want to be in front of that!
Great video! Mike I noticed on most all the videos the big dump trailers have small grain doors on them. Do farmers use the dump trailers to haul grain also?
Hey Mike, you keep getting better and better. Cool video. What always puzzles me is the coordination between the guy on the chopper (or the combine in other videos) and the guys with the carts.
Mike, do you know enough about the numbers to evaluate whether to harvest corn for grain or for silage? I suppose that if grain prices were up it would be advantageous to harvest the grain, sell it and buy the cattle feed but I sure don't know.
That silage is tuned specifically to dairy production...it’s different to corn grown for grain. Also it’s a dairy farm and not a cattle farm... they have different diets.
You said that should light up comment section on that massive over shoot of the cart.. I guess you were talking to me. So here goes... I always cringe when they over shoot the cart. Happy subscriber 😀
Wow the ground was dry! We weren't so lucky here in NY. The farm I helped runs a 970, 980and 990, 5 tractor trailers and 10- 10wheelers. When it gets too muddy 4 dump wagons, it would be nice to use tractor pulled wagons like this farm, but they are so spread out it's not possible! I guess I don't know why anyone would think you don't know what you're talking about!
Those fields, after they get combined for silage, look like my head. Bald. Nothing left. Kind of neat watching the combine just mow the corn stalks down. Now, like other field corn, did this corn need to be at a certain dryness level for harvesting?
Yes corn that is chopped for silage is and should be done before it would be dry enough to harvest for grain only to get the best feed value out of it.
Never knew there was a Listowel in Ontario. That shares its name with the town of Listowel, County Kerry in Ireland. Famous for it's horse race festival each Autumn. Irish people like myself pronounce it Lis-toll (as in the toll booth).
Your videos are great. Especially the drone shots, stay out of harms way. But I have a question as to what determines when the farmers can start cutting the corn for silage? Greeness? Moisture content? Or something else?
you should tell us how many miles they are away from the farm every field... or how many tons are each trailer averaging... otherwise everything else just looks impressive
We are about 5 minutes away from them we got some new equipment this year, I don’t know if your interested but it would be awesome to have you out to video

Love seeing the big massey tractors in action. You don't see very many of them on TH-cam.
Thanks Mike for another enjoyable silage video to go along with my Saturday morning coffee! Appreciate all your efforts.

Thanks again Mike. A couple of years ago I got to ride along with Winners chopping for Irish acres. Claas with a 10 row head
I've enjoyed the videos that you share on TH-cam & the video of making hay stacks in Montana was great. Keep up the good work, thanks.
Another fabulous corn silage video. Ignore those keyboard famers🤣. It's awesome to see other agriculture videos and tractors besides green tractors 🤣
My dad and mother started farming less than a half mile from this farm in 1941 after moving from southeast Ohio along with my grandparents.

Thank You Mike for all you do, I'm a non farmer but I admire Farmers.
Southern Alberta grain farmer likes your comments on non dry land farms. I have never seen live corn silage, good video. Thank you.
I'm not a farmer over the last four months I've been watching your videos and I really learned a lot from watching your awesome videos I didn't realize how many pieces of equipment that took to get the job done thank you for your awesome videos keep up the good work
เป็น VDO ที่ดูแล้วให้ความรู้ดี โลกเจริญมากๆ กับนวัตกรรมใหม่ FC from 🇹🇭
Beuatiful video Mike. Your videos always are the best, specially corn silage video.
Another great video Thanks Mike Our family farm was about 45 min away from Listowel Ont Where they built those silage trailers
I work for Weberlane plant #2
Ive loved agriculture all my life but lived in the city and my interest in these videos is all the different tractors and and equipment and how its used and how certain things are done and how things in general work i love how you explain things
It's always great to see a big pile of silage😉👍
Great video👍👍

AmosYou’re in the right spot. Sort of grew up on a dairy farm at my uncles.
I’m so glad you explain things, I knew very little about farming until I started watching farm-tubers. I had to research was corn silage was. It’s amazing actually, using the whole plant & allowing it to ferment naturally, preserving it for feed.

Wow what a great vidio. I love the two silage carts doing the side by side dance in the feild.

Great vídeo Mike.
Great silage video!
Thanks a lot! 😊👍🏻
It's so relaxing to watch & the field looks very clean after the close chop.
Claas cuts Nice and Neat those Wagons are Perfect
Keyboard warriors think they're ninjas but Mike Less is the sensai!
They need to listen and learn
Great video, Mike. I like those Fendts with the big tires. Look really menacing!
1st
Another great video Mike .
Relaxing to have this on in the background.
There's nothing wrong with any of your videos they are always top notch haters will be haters don't see no one else making and explaining about the videos or the equipment keep them coming in
Great video ,lots of different machinery
Great. Well done.
Well Mike you've done it again great content and video shots excellent I really enjoy your vlogs and look forward to the next 🏴👍👍
Mike,your creating good memories!
Awesome video!!!
"Oh oh, that's gonna be good for the comment section". Haha, loved it. Greetings from Brazil!!
well done Mike!!
Great videos Mike!! Enjoying from the pine tree gardens in East Texas…. I was just wondering if the operator’s have a moisture meter in the chopper or if they just rely on their own expertise!!?
Hey Mike I think you do a good job and pretty factual info and your right about what they call processes by different names some shell corn others pick and some just combine.
nothing like watching some corn silage at 6:07 am
Hey guys knock off that infernal racket. You're waking the dead.😄 They sure do a dance out in the field. 👍
Hey Mike, your voice-over sounds much better in this video compared with the last few videos!
Thanks. I got a new microphone and I’m just trying to get it dialed in.
I am amazed at how much wind there appears to be by the standing corn blowing around but it doesn't seem to affect the chopped stream going into the wagon. There is just so much coming out I would bet you would not want to be in front of that!
Awesome clip, Mike!
Great video! Mike I noticed on most all the videos the big dump trailers have small grain doors on them. Do farmers use the dump trailers to haul grain also?
The Best Farmers Go Ohio
Ha, you know it's always the keyboard farmers that know everything right? At least if you ask them 🤣
At 8:35, the red tractor comes within inches of clipping the front end of the green tractor. Great drone footage. Hope their Boss doesn't catch that.
Great Videos. Keep it up.👍👍👍
Do they chop all of their corn acres for silage or part of it? Great Video!!
Hey Mike, you keep getting better and better. Cool video. What always puzzles me is the coordination between the guy on the chopper (or the combine in other videos) and the guys with the carts.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷Bom Dia. Parabéns pelo vídeo. Acompanho sempre. Abraços...

That's crazy to see were those trailers all go to I actually work for Weberlane assembling trailers.
and that was just so nice ty

We are about 5 minutes away from them we got some new equipment this year, I don’t know if your interested but it would be awesome to have you out to video
I just watching satisfyng videos, thankyou
Nice video mike
Sorry to say that pushing and packing the silage pile. Would definitely be a boring job. But really very important.
Thank you for sharing your videos!! Really enjoy them!! Thanks again!!
Wouldn't it be more efficient to have a silage packer on both ends of that Fendt since it has a 3 pt. on the front?
Lots of armchair experts on the utube that wouldn't know cow poo if they stepped in it. Pay them no mind brother.
Hey once you learned how to start a syphon tube you truly knew about farming!
We call the blow over feeding the wild life it's not hunting over a bait site that way lol.
You are right because I am a retired construction worker
The leveling/packing crew definitely has to be alert for other equipment as they are performing their job.
Hell yeah first comment
Go Back with the shovel and the Pickup that's Money on the Ground
Great video, but don't like standing you between the chopper and the tractor, keep it safe.
We coordinate this when I do it
There's nothing not safe about it ...
You can see that the tractor drives farther away from the chopper when he does that
Looks a bit scary to me
what purpose of this stage?
What engine did that Massey Ferguson have in it with the duel wheels, didn't sound like any MF I have ever heard before .!! Sounded good though.
The muffler fell off so we just put a straight pipe on it. It does sound good though. It has the 6.6 Sisu
Linda fazenda. Pro gado leiteiro o milho mais maduro é melhor pra produção de leite, produz mais lignina.
I like Mike less videos on TH-cam, from the imperial co California.
Good catch seeing that deer…thought these guys were pretty anti Deere.
Troche zle nagrane bo obraz sie zatszymuje i zle się oglonda
Everybody has their own technique's and if people do it differently you don't berate them for it that's ridiculous people doing that to other people.
Geez poets
