Chopping Corn Silage at Benton Dairy in West Central Indiana 

Something about chopping silage is so refreshing to me.

Great video Mike . I really enjoy your silage harvesting vids . Thanks for showing all the different types of trailers the trucks used . I've been in and seen many convoys but never a convoy of silage trucks . Can't wait until the next silage video along with all your great others

Always impressive how they can fill the trailers up the limit! 😮 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

Great job Mike! Thanks for visiting us again this year!

Great Video Mike, an impressive team, thanks for sharing

Great video, Mike. An' you're "too funny" at 19:33! Took the words right outta my mouth. (although honestly, when watching it I thought it was to "smooth" that hard corner...) Always enjoy watching your content. Thank you and please keep 'em coming!

Hi mike great videos and drone shots very interesting keep up the good work ❤❤😂😂

The chopper guy is a pretty great shot especially considering his spout is so floppy.

Always impressed with those forage harvesters. Great video 😊.

Great video as always 😊

Everything in this video is massive. That silage pad is huge 🤯 That chopper eating through 12 rows of corn like it was nothing 🤯

As always love your videos.When I farmed with my family both in WV as well as NC my favorite time of year was silage cutting time. There is nothing more peaceful than the sound of the hum of the silage chopper. I have never had the opportunity to run a self propelled silage chopper. My family always used the pull behind choppers that required a tractor to pull them. In WV my stepdad and late uncle had an old one row case chopper and we had to shuttle wagons back and forth from the field to the trench silo. In NC on the farm I worked on for a family friend of my late grandfather’s who was like a second grandfather to me ran a new hiolland pull behind chopper with a three row head being pulled by a John Deere 4430 with a dump wagon that would dump silage into dump trucks and hauled the silage to trench silos. In the trench silo he had an old John Deere log skidder with a push blade that he used to pack with. I wished I still farmed and i especially miss running the chopper as well as that hum the silage chopper made. I relish any opportunity that you post a silage chopping video because I miss those times deeply and would gladly leap at the opportunity to ever do it again.

Love watching your videos Mike. Specially. Corn silage ones

Another great Mike Less video. I am just waiting for the fall corn harvest videos. Keep up the awesome work Mike! I forget to mention fall harvest was a favorite of mine.

It doesn't matter if you hit a pole or something while you open up a field, as long as you don't miss a single plant!😂👍 just kidding, some people get annoyed when they see some plants still standing. It's nice to see a xerion on a big silage pile, thanks for the video👍👍

Wow those have to be powerful choppers

Well Mike that was really a high standard video I really look forward to a Mike less vlog thanks again 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It always amazes me you can shove all that material through that narrow throat without stopping it up...

This dairy farm is located not far from where I grew up in west central Indiana. It’s a huge operation. If you did more than one video, you should include the back story in your sequel.

Great vid Mike!

Great job running over the corn 😂

Another great chopping video

Good video.

Great video Mike, I’m guessing about 3 weeks till we start doing beans here in north central Indiana

Mike;ya gotta feed those trolls!!! A few stalks of corn isn't worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things when they're probably chopping 1000-1500 acres or more but some people loose their minds. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

I like Mike less videos on RU-vid from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜🌽🌽🌽

Great Vid🚜🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

Sure doesn't take long to accumulate a large pile of chopped corn. They must use a boatload of corn silage in their dairy ration.

👍👍

😎😎

6 or 7 stalks will feed the critters

Hi Mike! Just a question. If corn is more digestible to a cow after the kernel is ground… then why isn’t silage harvested with a combine. The kernels can be ground and everything else collected off the ground after it’s been chopped by the combine.

I believe that is the first time I've seen a Claas tractor. There was a farmer down the road from me that used a chopper to harvest his wheat. Never have seen that before and I'm not sure why. Do farmers use wheat as a filler in their daily feeds.

Luar biasa mantap

@mikeless-farmhand Mike nice Equipment do you own the Farm or do you just work there?

How many acres do the chop? That is a big pile....

Biggest corn pile I have seen

How many acres of corn silage do the put up and how many ton?

I'd have the telephone company move that box by the driveway

Mike, how does a custom havest co make money?

Are they cutting 16 rows at a time that what it looks like ?

Is that all stalk, or is there ears of corn in there

I would imagine that truck hitting that head on that chopper would be a lot more $$$$ than about 6 or 7 stocks of corn.😢😢😢😢😢

Are you guys like all one big RU-vid family on here or are you actors playing a farmer?

19:23 you missed a spot

Something I have trouble with is tracked tractors advertise less compaction when they’re in the field but here we see a tracked tractor used FOR compaction in a silage bunker. Hmmmm………🤔

imagine making a living off of recording just cool shit

@19:30 bwahahaha "yeah i've chopped 100 acres a year for 90 years with a one row and ive never missed a plant ever.....EVER!!!!!" judging a guy that chops thousands of acres a year, lol

very green corn....

The 2 track deere seems to be smoking a lot. Bad injectors? Dirty air filter? It’s not even pulling anything.

Great video Mike . I really enjoy your silage harvesting vids . Thanks for showing all the different types of trailers the trucks used . I've been in and seen many convoys but never a convoy of silage trucks . Can't wait until the next silage video along with all your great others
