You can hear that big silage chopper motor lug down in tough spots, then recover and pull back up to revs. What a machine! You have to hand it to those wagon drivers keeping up with the silage stream while trying to see out those snowy cab windows. Good Job!

@jmv2015 4 года назад

As a Farmer myself and who grows corn regularly, I can feel the frustration of the owners in the video, Im sure they wanted to harvest with a combine for the grain only but time catched up and they ended up chopping the corn if not the whole crop would go to waste in a heavier snow storm. Well that is my guess. Hope they get a better following year.

@andylieffring3987 4 года назад

Sadly this is a reality for a lot of Wisconsin farmers this year. A tough end to a tough year. It’s hard to call this stuff silage, it’s more like corn fodder with ground Cobb mixed in. Pretty cool to see corn chopping in the snow, I know I’ve never seen that before. Thanks for the video

@bigtractorpower 4 года назад

It has been a long year from planting to harvest. Thank you for watching.

@switzerblitzer2701 4 года назад

They may have to run some kind of molasses supplement with the silage to increase the palatability. I did that in a year that alfalfa hay was very short. Used a lot of ground wheat straw with a molasses based protein supplement, a reduced amount of ground alfalfa hay and corn silage and the cows lapped it up like candy. Used up the straw and didn't have to buy hay. I wasn't dairy though, had stock cows. Great NH chopper in the video, gets a lot done!

Ah, the memories of doing field work in the cold, snowy Wisconsin weather. Spent many days picking corn in January when it was -20F (not windchill!) because we had to wait for the water & mud under the ice which the snow insulated. Those cornstalks kinda "exploded" when you hit them with the New Idea picker points and alot of trash went thru the machine.

We did this late chopping one year. Not necessarily good feed for dairy cows. No protein or nutrition in the stalk. Was this put in bunker or upright silo?

Farming is not for sissies. I love the farmers who defy markets and weather to keep this the most productive, best fed, healthiest nation in the history of mankind. If Americans are hungry the rest of the damned world will be starving to death. Never underestimate real Americans and their resolve, especially American Farmers. They are the best!

@Ordnyguywebster 4 года назад

So does the silage lose any nutritional value when they chop it that late, after it’s started to dry down?

@bigtractorpower 4 года назад

It does but it still has value. Some feed is better than none.

it still has all the grain from the cob so yes it still has protein value in the pasture.

I don't understand how you are able to make silage that will ferment when it's that dry. I grew up on a dairy farm and we had a real mess one year when we chopped corn late. It molded instead of fermenting, even in an upright silo.

You want corn silage to be high in moisture. Normally peak time is at 65% moisture. Unfortunately this corn field has dried out but it will still make feed.
