The first farm I worked on was a lot like yours technically. Nailed to the post in the grainery was a bagger. It had two spring loaded poles that extended out at a 45 degree angle to hold the bag open. We had 40 dairy cows, 500 ewes, and 500 acres of corn, hay, oats, and winter wheat. What corn that didn't go up the silo was picked with a new idea picker or shelled with a new idea picker sheller. The shelled corn was fed to the lambs because you didn't have to grind it. Things are way to complicated now.
Great video, Tim ! Somebody made a hand bagger like yours one time for us but it had wheels so us kids could handle it better . Somebody else like it better, borrowed and and kept it ! By the time it was missed nobody could remember who borrowed it ! FWIW, I remember running the bagger on an old M-D combine using burlap bags . Oats I could do, but wheat was too heavy . Still remember saving bale twines for cuttinng to tie bags . Can you tie a " Miller's Knot " ? Keep the videos coming !!
I love everything about your farm and operation style!
Amazing video thank for showing us the old ways!!!

Funny, how many people need your stuff more than you these days!
Great vid Timmy , keep em comin !!!
Used a similar bag holder on a scale for walnuts as a kid fill up to 50 lbs sew bag shut fill up the next. Two tuns a night after school
Very cool ive never seen one of those bag hangers, how many bushels will the corn crib hold?
curious how many bushels that crib will hold? thanks for the video
A little bit shy of 1000 bushels.
What is the maximum moisture of corn u have put in this crib that didn't catch mold or any other problems?
24%.
With that narrow of a crib, you can put higher moisture corn in and you really shouldn't have any problems with it drying out. How wide is it?
Five feet wide
I need to find me one of those bag holders!
I sorry to say I'm old enough to know what that is. Lol. Nice vid.
Me too.
I've never had anyone run off with my "corn sweep".
Great video thx!!
Planning on building a corn crib soon
