Corn Silage Harvest - This week, we started harvesting corn silage. The silage is stored in piles and will be fed to our cows throughout the year as the main ingredient of their rations.
*COWS & CO CREAMERY* If you're interested in placing a CHEESE order, they do ship nationwide. They currently are unable to ship gelato. The link is included below!

If you have any questions about this week's video, leave them in the comments, and I will post a Q&A video on Sunday if needed. As always, thanks for watching!

I've been watching your harvesting video, amongst all others, and really appreciate the capture you give to "The Farm Life" and what it brings to our neighbors/community/city/world. Your videos are captivating and inspiring amongst other things. What drone are you using to capture the videos, brand/model? I'd like to get one for my father to look over his cattle - what you use should suffice in MN!

What are your thoughts on cutting height? I've read of high powered herds- 30-40,000 RHA that are cutting up to 36". They claim that they're getting such higher digestability that it's really powering much greater production.
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 8 месяцев назад
Cutting higher does result in higher digestibility, we've never cut that high though. Cutting at 36" must leave a lot of tons in the field. I wonder if cutting that high negatively affects crop flow into the chopper.
@r.scotthill3082
@r.scotthill3082 8 месяцев назад
These farmers have lab results that back up the increase in digestability and milk production that backs it up. They say this offsets the loss in tonnage.Processor scores remain good.

Awesome video Piet! Why are they leaving such a high stubble? Did you ask then to?
@HarrisPropertyMaintenance
@HarrisPropertyMaintenance 8 месяцев назад
The bigger operations leave it high because theirs not much nutritional value there and it’s not as hard on tires
@BRPFan
@BRPFan 8 месяцев назад
@@HarrisPropertyMaintenance I realized it wouldn’t be as hard on tires but I didn’t know that there wasn’t much nutritional value in the stock at lower cut. Thanks for your reply!
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 8 месяцев назад
Cutting a little higher results in higher quality silage and helps avoid running into rocks or the ground when going through ditches or pot holes. We're not cutting as high as possible, we're trying to find a balance of quality and quantity.

@BRPFan 8 месяцев назад
@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 OK sounds good! I knew you would have a reason for it Piet and it makes perfect sense! Plus it’s easier on the tires as well. I just see Guys around here cutting way shorter and that’s why I asked!

Have you ever built the silage piles higher so you wouldnt need to pile on the ground?A large dairy near here has their piles higher than any of their shed roofs on the farm
@user-zu2bw7ig5v
@user-zu2bw7ig5v 8 месяцев назад
The higher the pile the wider of an area you'd need. You can see he's limited on room side to side.
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 8 месяцев назад
Space is part of the reason. If we go much higher, it will make it more difficult for the packing tractors. The other reason is the bigger the pile, the more area that's exposed to air when we're feeding. If we don't feed it fast, that will cause spoiled feed.

How many rows does the chopper do at once?
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047
@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 8 месяцев назад
10 rows in 30" corn, but this field is planted in 22" rows, so they're taking a few more at a time.
