Hey I’m Andrew The Once A Day Farmer, I farm alongside my father on my family dairy farm in New Zealand.
Our Dairy system is quite unique as we only milk our 320 jersey cows Once A Day (hence the name), and they stay outside on grass for 365 days of the year!!

Hard to beat a Paddy on the pit.
Great to see the Irish doing a great job as a fellow Irish man they know there way around a farm
Cool operator on the JCB & you made his job easier by saying "just do what you like" = a good stack at the end of the day
Great to see the Irish doing a great job as a fellow Irish man 👏👏👏👏
Awesome video Andrew, your right about the JCB driver he knew his stuff and did a cracking job 👌🏻
A super loader driver Andrew , you can't beat the Irish, ha ha, looks like a good yield. 👍
Good on you paddy on pit proud to Irish
Very handy man on that jcb Andrew. He travelled a fair distance to do it for you 😉
Great to see the pits filled 🖒
haha he sure has, Hes from Waterford I'm pretty sure
Really nice video with great machines!
Great Video, thanks for sharing
Great stuff. Let us know when you are on Grassmen TV.
Excellent video Andrew.
Thanks! Will do!
Ĝreat drone footage Andrew and good to see an Irish lad doing a grand job too 👍
Looks like you got a pretty good yield. The harvest crew was very professional.
Loved the birdseye view from you on the chopper great video 😀
Don't forget the bate stations this time!!! Cut down all that growth around the pits.
We like the tires touching on the pile!
Great video
Thanks!
Your filming is getting really good.
Thanks!
Of course the operator on the Jcb was sharp he was Irish 🤣😂
Hi i like your video
Hi Andrew you will be glad to get the maze off one less stress for you with the problems you have had with it this season. Nice save with the drone to . And the job driver sure did a nice job on the pits . And I agree with you about getting the paddocks turn around asap will give you more grazing come winter
Another great video Andrew I love watching the pits get filled up again good to have the stock pile done 👍we just have snow here in Ireland today it's bloody cold
I've seen few pictures and it looks a bit cold
Busy day. All the best for the pit results when it comes to use it... stay safe 🏴
The Irish know how to fill a pit properly
What a great job on the pile wish I could do it that good
same here haha
that was amazing!
Hopefully if you do the bird treatment and use 3 pre emergent program for weeds you will have a better year next year
Yep looking to try a different variety which I will explain why soon
Your camera is sure awesome. Shows off that beautiful landscape!
Thank you very much!
Funny watching videos from southern hemp , im a herd manager in Dorset and we are on verge on spring turn out , i always like it when I see autumn coming for u guys
I bet, Means summers coming for you haha.
Thats cool Dorset is a very lovely place, visited it a couple of times. Looks like you had a cold snap recently tho?
What accent is the clamp man? All doing a great job.
Just realised he's Irish from the comments. He's bloody good on the clamp.
Awesome stacking! Put some roundup around the outside of the big stack, maybe makes it easier to keep the rats out. Would be a shame if they got into that…. Great video.
Great video👍I would say that you would be better off cutting the maze higher at about knee hight. My teacher always said that it is like feeding sawdust to the cows because of the quality. Looking forward to the next one 👍cheers from Ireland
Great video as always
He's made a fantastic Job of those pits
Will the blight badly affect the nutritional value of the silage ?
The DM will be down a bit but over all I dont think so
Cool
Its strange to watch a corn chopping video in march we chop corn around october 😅
City folk here, loving the videos for me and my son!
Curious as to what the main benefits there are for growing maize? Is it mostly for feeding the cattle? Does it help the soil?
Hey thats awesome to hear!
Maize certainly doesn't help the soil, its very nutrient hungry so requires a lot put back in but its a bulk crop that we can grow to feed out when we are in feed deficit stage during our season.
The maize can yield 20 tons of Dry Matter +, plus another 6-8t during the winter of annual ryegrass so a total of around 25tDM where as pasture only grows around 13tDM
I hope that makes sense
Another great video well done!!! One of our paddocks here in Taranaki got blight too.
Looks like its everywhere this year unfortunately
Those Joskin walking floor wagons were neat, but I think the dump wagons still had them beat on unload time 😁! Cool aerial footage, what kind of drone do you use to capture everything?
yeah I'd agree with you on that one, all though they're probably safer on some of pit sites around here can be pretty rough so no chance of tipping over.
It's just one of the DJI mavic pro 2 I think
@@TheOnceADayFarmer Ah yes good point with the rough terrain...and alright cool thanks for the info!
Awesome 👌 stuff...how many tonnes in total did you get in the end. Thanks for the great content..the jcb guy knew his stuff 👍 take care from a wet uk.
I'm not to sure sorry, Dont think the monitor was calibrated enough to be real accurate
be easy to widen higher both pis yeh great stacker work , sad maize got damaged good stacks though
Definitely
Why don't you put a hard track down beside the feed out shed as tractors and trailers can't fit under save grass seed ever year just an idea love the videos keep them coming xx
Id really only use it a couple times of the year, so might as well grow grass there instead, I know what you mean tho
Hey Andrew if Finch’s equipment gets any bigger you will have to enlarge your races and gateways. Just a couple of questions. The maize cutter operator does he control the discharge chute that deposits the maize into the trailers. If so gee he must have to have eyes in the back of his head.😂 Also some of your maize that was dying off looks like when they harvest up here on the Atherton Tablelands. They grow quite a bit up here but they let it die off completely before harvest just the actual kernels. Gets very dusty during harvest. Thanks for the video Mate
The chopper drive controls the spout. Good trailer drivers that stay in the right spot makes the job easier.
We try and make it easier for them by widening gateways etc. When pop put in 10ft gateways I bet he never imagined the machinery would be this big oneday!
We Irish always do a job right. The man on d harvester is fair good operating the shoot not a big of maize spilt over the trailers when filling from behind. It's not an easy job filling from behind while making a turn in d field or going round trees.
Sure do! Rorys pretty good
🎥🎥🎬🎬👏👏👍👍
Are you using the salt around the pit this year to stop the rats
I didnt this year
Great job done
How many hectares and how many hours to harvest?
About 8 ha and around 7-8 hours probably
Hey grassmen,come visit us!we're a bunch of cow Cockys but we do all our own maize too! Come see how we do it!
Wasn't me they were visiting, Just right farm right place haha
How many hectares of maize do you plant?
this year I planted just over 8 but probably ended up being around 7.5
👀🙄🐾👍 Andy will you be doing both direct drilling and strip tilling again in the spring?
At this stage im pretty sure I will be
I presume 'Tadj' is 'Tadgh'? Can't beat a good irish lad on a loading shovel pushing up silage.
I actually don't think it is, I'm not sure what his first name is but im pretty sure its not Tadgh, I'll have to ask him next time haha
Typical chopper driver,loading the trailers on the low side
Copy Lotso!!
haha
Of course being kiwi it’s the first one in the world. Always over promoting
No It actually was
