Love your videos. I am a Desert Storm Veteran thank you for your service. My family farms rice and cattle in Louisiana.
Thank you for your service Sean!
Hopefully you guys are getting some rain down there.
We are pretty dry.
Interesting video Rod ! Keep them coming ! Thank-you !
Im here because Brian's Farming Videos gave you a mention. I happen to love farming and flying, so looking forward to your future content :D Great vid!
Awesome! My channel should be right up your alley! I try to switch back and forth between farming and flying videos.
Really enjoy the farm work. Cutting plenty of hay down in Tennessee at this time.
It's been great weather for making hay around here. We need some rain though!
I am absolutely amazed seeing the ingenuity that goes into some of the equipment you have. All those machines came from someone's idea and over time it was perfected. I love seeing stuff like that. As always thanks for sharing the great videos with us all. I look forward to watching your channel grow brother! 👍😁
Yeah, the machines nowadays definitely save a lot of labor! I can't imagine what it was like 100 years ago!
I too am here bc Brian's Farming Videos mentioned you. Cool channel!
Now that brings back good memories from long ago great videos always look forward to seeing new ones keep safe and God bless you and your family thanks for your service
Thanks for watching Randy!
You guys sure have some beautiful corn over by the river!
Thanks Jeff!
That corn was planted in 16 April.
We all need some rain!
We really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work and Thank You for your years of Military Service!
SALUTE !
Thanks again for the feedback Arthur!
One never realizes what goes into farming until I watch your videos. You guys have got to be able to do all sorts of things besides planding, harvesting and tending cattle. YOualso have to be able to repair and keep your equipment in working order. Great video Rod. Keep em coming because I truly enjoy them.
Thank you Kurt!
Yes, we kind've have to be "jacks of all trades."
You are in great shape climbing that silo every 4th load or so.
That is what I should do. Clime our Leg each day. Well that was a good thought No I think I will pass. Admire you for climbing it also for your service to Our Country. We are very dry here about. 20 miles south west of Grissom Air Base. Thank you for taking the time to share your videos with us.
I'm in terrible shape, but I can do what needs to be done! We haven't had any rain for 3 weeks! There is a good chance of rain tomorrow though!
Great video I learn something new every time I watch your videos.
Good to hear!
Dirty, hot job but you guys just keep at it. Great video son😘
I hope people can appreciate what it takes to put meat on their table. Lots of hard work. Great video to teach the city folks.
Sorry I was late watching but couldn't see from the smoke.
You are usually one of the first five to comment, so I thought you gave up on me!
Yes, there is a lot of work that goes into putting a steak on someone's plate!
America 🇺🇸 🇺🇲. God Bless you and your family. Carl
Thanks Carl! 👊🏼
Great video. I like the way you show us nonfarmers what it takes to run a family farm.
Thanks! It takes the whole family!
That was darn fun and well done. I'd ride with you in most things but not that damn wagon. Loved the noggin bump and clipped your "this is fun" for my new message tone.
Thanks Mark! That is one of the dirtier jobs on our farm!
I love it you don’t see this side of Ross county much , great video can’t wait till your corns ready neighbor.
Thanks for the comment!
Where are you located?
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 we are right outside of Londonderry, pass your farm a lot it’s nice and buy corn every year you have it out , good stuff for sure , the peacocks and cows the grandkids love watching when we pass by
Great video buddy hope that bearing is the only issue you have with haying this year 🤞thanks for sharing hope you had a great memorial weekend thank you for your service
I'm sure there will be other breakdowns, but hopefully nothing too major!
Airfields to farm fields. I miss JP4 in the morn.
Put a swim noodle on that top bar so you don't wack your head every time.
That's a good idea!
Making that cow candy! You guys are probably one of the last using the big vertical silos. Just about all of them down here in Mississippi are just monuments to the old days of dairy farming. Very few dairies left now down here. I bet you got varmints in that by the bushel!
I don't know anyone around here that uses them anymore. Most of the dairy farmers have switched to bunker silos.
I see where you will be one of the local performers at the Rickenbacker Air Show this weekend. i would love to attend the show but I will be baling hay down in Hocking county. Besides, $55 is pretty expensive to pay for admission. Have a good flight and keep the shiny side up.
Yes, the price is ridiculous!
I hope you get your hay baled. Good chance of rain tonight.
I'll be flying Saturday morning with some F-35s.
I agree I think it’s the Fans Not catching all the Seed or the Alfalfa and Orchard grass probably should of been Drilled in because of the Size of Seed that won’t Broadcast as far as Fertilizer! Looks like Good Eats!👍👍
We did drill the seed in that field. Not sure what the problem is.
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 pull some soil tests?
I use straight water summer. DEF in winter.
America!🇺🇸
👊🏼
15:12. Thank you. Now i know im not the only one. You need to go down one step the look at where you hand is & wrap that step with red tape 😎 or mount a large inflatable squeaky toy to the part you hit your head on. 😁
That is a great idea!
This is the only caution about workin silage, i am very careful with the blower,
A.O. Smith Harvestore's were popular in the '60's and '70's. I have the impression that many of them are currently unused.
Nope.
Most guys have switched to the bunker-type silos.
Too much climbing!
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 My late brother-in-law used to refer to them as the "Blue Gyp"!
Good job guys
Thank Johnny!
Great video Clark!
Thanks again Ronnie!
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 Anytime Clark! I look forward to your content!
I worked a tree farm and a dairy farm after service.
I don't have any experience with dairy, and I consider myself fortunate!
Grew up in NorCal (Sierra Nevadas) on a small farm. Loved the smell of fresh cut alfalfa!
Your silage for pellets?
No pellets. After it ferments, we will feed it next winter.
Everything time same here
AMerica👊
When you hit your head climbing up the silo was it as bad as getting “waffled” by the crew entry chute grate on the KC-135? 🤪
Haha! I've never actually hit my head on the grate. I've got a couple permanent scars on my head from hitting the switches on the overhead panel when getting into the seat though!
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 back in early 80s as a copilot at Plattsburgh I was responding to a horn on alert and got waffled hard. Back then they didn’t have pads attached to the grates. I sat in the right seat trying to get my wits about me 🤣
Nature makes it's changes in circles. Strait line changes are usually made by man.
Thanks for the comment, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean by it. Care to elaborate?
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 disease,drought, flooding all caused by nature usually appear as spots ie circles. Spraying,planting,even harvesting,all things machine related are controlled by man.
Harness. Where’s your harness? 🤓
Our farm is prob lacking in the safety department!
Why silage vs baling?
Great question!
We do both. We have a usable silo so that allows us to store a good amount of feed versus building another barn to store dry hay. Plus, the silage has a slightly higher nutrient content since we store the hay wet.
DEF 70%H2O.
Ouch! Lmao
