Looking forward to checking out the 2019 Corn Silage harvest on Monday. Hoping to turn it into milk the most efficient way possible!...Atlantic Dairy Consulting, LLC
I just subbed your channel, awesome stuff!! Just finished pitting our 1rst cutting Haylage a few days ago. On our Silage pits, I get them pretty high and the feeder guys use a long armed face rake that hooks on our loaders with a quick attach. I'm curious how this size of a pile is fed off.. It seems pretty high for any rake I've seen being used. Is there a chance that in the future you could shoot some video of it being loaded off?? If you have any vids of the process already, could I get the name of it? I'm in the process of going thru your vid collection now :)
Dairies most are ginormous. But also they rent most of the ground or buy the corn from the farmer to chop which is what the ones in my area do. It’s very cool to see
Christ alive thats alot of feed!! How many cows in this place? I likr machinery and all but im a cow man, would love to work in one of those big dairy's in the US....also, does it take like a week to cover those pits or like 1000 migrant workers or something?
For 3 farms through the long Minnesota winter, East and West Dublin and Meadowstar Dairies. 8,800 just at Meadow Star they use a rotary that can milk more than 100 cows simultaneously in order to get the most from the herd. Shipping a tanker of milk every three hours for a total of half a million pounds of milk a day. East Dublin Dairy milks 5,280 cows twice a day.
Does John Deere or any company in US make corn silage harvesters that just do 2 rows? I've seen them made in china, but its super sketchy buying crap overseas. We want to make our own corn silage for our small dairy farm instead of buying it, but would only have 15 acres of corn... What would be our best option?
John Deere 3950/3960/3970/3975, New Holland 892/FP230/240. Pretty sure they can all have 2 row heads. But they're all pull type, and generally should be powered by a 150hp or more machine.
Great video Aaron! Always look forward to your videos! Looks like a good harvest. Surprised Deere didn’t show up with a 9900 for you guys to try! ;) best of luck the rest of the harvest season!
Nice video great editing, it really captures the size of this operation. Unfortunately this kind of production is what is putting family farms out of business in America. Anybody paying attention to what's happening to the dairy industry? There used to actually be real opportunities for people to operate farms, soon its just going to be a few elitists. At least there's RU-vid and farming simulators...what happened?
Kevin Kauffman Thank you. It is unfortunate what’s happening to small family farms, I grew up on one so I do feel the pain. Virtually every other industry has experienced this type of change though, from fast food to car auto parts stores. Even in ag, you don’t see small poultry or hog operations anymore. I realize this is just one example, but this company does things right, from keeping their sites spotless and repaired correctly, having a professional work environment that builds people up, and involving the local community as much as possible.
Hi from Europe, bellow you can see how do it professionals in Czech Republic, Central Europe. Its pretty similar - big difference is that we in Europe use for silage so called "Sillage holes" = a place with 3-side concrete walls. This guys from this village of Smržice have a lot of cool agro-videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hWp0fTDuitg.html
yes but i think they wouldt add more weight in the muddy field. it sucks if the truck stalls and have to be pulled ore pusd out of the field. its quicker-safer to load say half-3/4 loads if the silo is nearby
