Our early planted fields really got hit hard with the heat and the drought. Making good silage just not as much of it.

They are moving platform up at 50 sec mark. Use the motor and rope to pull up and repin it

They had a new sprayer

I kinda like it!😊

This was a farm 4 miles from our farm. These silos just have a footer under them that the concrete block set on top of. They are possibly three feet deep if I remember correctly from when we built one at our farm. About 2 ft wide with nothing in the center.

Where do you live?

Can you give me a heads up. I been looking for silo scaffolding but every online search just returns regular scaffold, when I'm looking for the scaffold as used in this video that is erected inside the silo.

Our pit hold a half million gallons

Thank you

Me too one in 1967 and one in 1971.

They would be fighting each other over various things at different stages. Things like who's a better boss, pickles, sisters, flags and Christmas trees. Then they would pick up all the spare pieces that looked important and head back to the bar.

I think the silo that was tore down hasn't been used since the late 80's. Dairy buyout program. Sad to think when you drive down the road, all the empty silo used to store feed for dairy cows. Less farms more cows per farm. Glad to say that my valley is still predominantly agriculture though

I think these guys are Amish. There are many different sects in this area. There are some mennonites that don't drive cars and run tractors on steel wheels. The Amish in this area use power tools.

This silo was built Oct. 2022. The amish crew wanted the silo staves(blocks) powerwashed before the silo was rebuilt. The owner of the farm was short on help at the time. The builders brought in a hi lift in November and powerwashed it after it was built.. The owner also talked them into washing his other two concrete silos. I was going to film that and I crashed my drone that morning flying at home!

@@brentmcmillen8829 thanks for the additional info.

I guess they figured it wouldn't hurt anything at the top of the silo. If it wasn't painted white, they probably would not have used it.

I would have liked to film the entire process but the farm is 4 miles from me and I have farming to do myself 😄

And hard hats!!

yes it does! I'm not why he decided on this size. Our farm has had 2 16x70's for years

This took place about 4 mile from me. Wish I could have gotten the whole process myself. Roof, chute etc.

The old silos were not used since the 80's

Claas 970 can eat some corn!!

Where at may I ask?

@@brentmcmillen8829 The old cafe right at the corner.

Thanks

It is a beautiful place!

I don't know. It is down the road from me.

I hate to see farmland being used for these purposes. Put them up on warehouse roofs. I'm not sure where the power generated will be used.

Not sure

It is an 18 foot head and because he was spreading the straw out wide he was trying to get the remaining pass a fuller width to keep from dragging straw with the head. We spread the straw out this yr to help it dry. Thunderstorms frequent.
