From a fellow pa dairy farmer who just mowed and chopped their wheat and rye 2 days ago for the 28th year I would say that yall did a great job. Also as I get older I can't even climb our 60ft ss silos. Now I have to hire young people to come and do it for me.
I’m in Reading Pennsylvania. Been watching your videos for years. I’m 77 and the granddaughter of two farm families. It is so interesting and I’ve learned so much watching you and your dad. I just want to thank you. Keep the videos coming. I’ll be watching. 😊
I just wish he had the same number of subscribers as “Mr Beast” Eric is a very good farmer. To work the cow side, then the field side and build a house and have 3 children in 2 years. The guy is an overachiever. I am thoroughly impressed.
Eric paint the cable mark bright orange for about a foot so you can easily see it when it’s near the top. You dont want to pull that splice through. Now give me a shout out.
Greetings Miss Marie! I have seen your comments here and in a few other farming channels and I very much appreciate your positive words. Being a part of Two Faming Families, I'm sure you have seen and experienced a ton over the years! Wondering if you had RU-vid back in the day...would you have considered having your own channel? I believe it would have been a Winner Too! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
Really exiting for a fellow dairy farmer to fill his silo for the first time. We’re just waiting to cut hay til it drys up a bit, it’s been so wet lately. I’m not gonna complain though because of the drought we had last year In Wisconsin. Been really cool to watch the silo building process come about
Proud of you and your dad. That's not a good word to use but it is the only one I could think of to tell you that it feels so good to see you succeed !! Big bucks, giant commitment, enormous amount of research, negotiation and worrying. Finally, it felt so good to see you at the top of the new silo feeling good about working hard and finally reaping the benefits. One of your best videos. You could have run on for another 45 mins with such Good News.
Eric & Dennis, Absolutely one of the best videos from 10th Gen!!! What a blessing to watch your farm modernize in front of us. May God continue to bless your farm as you feed and educate America and the world. Be safe and continue to be a blessing.
I've been watching you since the beginning. It is so satisfying to see your progression over the years. I can't wait till you get your robot feeder in. It will make your life so much better. Thank you for years of information, entertainment, and joy.
Your custom harvesting crew is pretty awesome. They are efficient with no wasted time or movements. And top-notch equipment to be able to run continuously like that, and obviously well maintained. Pleasure to watch.
Haha! Way to make my Friday, Eric! 45mins 10Gen is fantastic stuff! that camera feature is going to save hundreds? of trips up and down that silo... so cool.
Dang!!!!! That's a lot of feed!!!! Hope all goes well for u farm!!!! Keep bring milk, cheese, and other to everybody's table. Thank u for farming!!! And thank u other farmers too!!!
That's fantastic! It's clear your family's farm has thrived through generations of hard work. Growing farms, expanding silos - that's a testament to your dedication and innovation. Subcontracting some tasks out is a smart move too, freeing you both up to focus on the bigger picture. And as for the future outlook, well, that sounds like it's in good hands. Eric, you are the internal optimist. You always see the silo half full.
Eric, my husband and I have been following your RU-vid channel several years now. How exciting to see everything come together on your farm especially the new silos and how they work. God has surely blessed you! Thank you for your valuable time in putting these RU-vid videos together. We are already anticipating the next one!
The blower unit is AWESOME! Either it didn't plug, you didn't film a plug, or the operators finessed it to keep it from plugging! A LOT of HP pushing the silage didn't hurt, either. Great video, and very interesting to watch a fill beside the build of #2! Love the drone work!👍👍
From a non- farmer. I am a huge fan kiddo. A retired carpenter, 70 y.o. too. Your content is so good, but this is great. Concrete is still curing in that silo and it’s already being used. Cutting, spreading and rowing ( for the lack of know proper terminology), this very educational stuff you are putting out for us farmer ignorant. Keep up the great content, kiddo. Love harvest time.
I loved the video! Always fun to see you & your Dad during harvest, but really exciting to see your new silo getting filled! Lots of hard work! Can't wait to see you get to feed out of it!💙
How exciting to see the new silo being filled already! I'm so glad everything worked out so well. You truly are blessed for all your hard work and now the cows can reap the benefits of your well-thought-out decision to go with the 132 foot silos. I am very happy for you! 🙂
That blower is horsing it up there well. Looks good. The deflector works better in the bottom 3/4 of the silo. As you get to the top it doesn’t get out to the walls. You can add a power paddle to spread it further
That was a great video. Everything looked like it was working just the way you wanted it to. Thanks for bringing us along. Even your 45 minute video seemed short. Great job.
Awesome video! So happy everything worked with the new silo! Loved the drone footage too! You have a wonderful and beautiful farm, and you all take very good care of it and the cows! God is good all the time!
Got a lot done on this video, fun viewing for us. I bet you guys are pretty happy with the outcome to this point. Good luck with the next batch of silage. I hope y'all have a good day and weekend ahead.
Truck driver here: We were always taught to let the engine idle for 3-4 minutes before shutting it down to let all the internal parts reach the same temperature as well as to let the turbo wind down while still being lubricated by the engine oil. Shouldn't be any need to open the hood, but I'm sure that doesn't hurt anything.
You're dead on about letting things cool to a even temperature as I used to operate heavy equipment and it is super important for the longevity of the equipment
Been watching your videos for a few months. Really enjoying your content. My Dad worked on Dairies his whole life. He sold his small dairy when I was 12 and ran a Dairy for the state of California at a prison. Your content brings backs memories for me at 72 years old. Thanks!
8:40 'I open up the hood to get the heat to escape better' - The 7220 has a 6.8L diesel, and you should let that idle for a period after running and it cools the internal better than anything. (I would just run it lightly while returning and parking in the garage would do the same thing). Once you shut the engine off it can't get any hotter as there is no friction or fuel burning so raising the hood may speed the cooling but nothing else. If you had to quickly turn off the engine in an emergency after working it hard you would want to open the hood, do anything you could to cool the engine as it would be very hot inside and that heat needs to dissipate.
Hi Eric. Congrats on the Inauguration of the new silo !! I think this project was a good choice. Multitasking is on of your fortes !! Well Done today. The team on the farm is a well oiled machine !!
I could not believe that blower chucked the feed up the high. Unbelievable. I liked it when you opened up the door on top and got flooded with feed. One heck of a blower. You and your dad made a good choice in silos for your feed. I can hardly wait to see the process for the automated feeders, the future holds a lot of videos from you and I'm hoping to see them all.
What a great video and I am so happy for you being able to get all that work done in one day. I worked for the Railway here in Canada (Toronto) for 31 years and couldn't wait to get to work every day. I would work like you flat out hours in hours out best job I ever had from 24 till 55 years old and I still miss it after all most 30 years. Keep the great videos coming and Thank you for your hard work.
I can smell the silage in the video. Brings back a lot of good memories growing up on my Uncle’s Dairy Farm when I was younger. I loved every minute of it. Keep up the good work cause there’s not to many family Dairy Farms left anymore.
Nice, new operation for silage but I have to admit I had to look away when you were standing on top of the silo looking down. I guess you could say I don't do heights very well lol.
I could watch your videos all day long. Your Dad and you working together is awesome. You’re a hard working man and that shows how you were raised. God bless you all. Keep the videos coming Sir.
This video Eric was an absolute awesome MUTHA🤣 and a perfect visual present for all who cherish the Mom's in their families this up coming Mother's Day! Salute to your Mom Eric and The Mom's Of The 10th Generation Dairyman Posse! You were on fire Humor wise in this reel my man! Hilarious visual of your Cool Trucker Look AND drinking soda's and watching YT Farming videos! A whole day between Soda's too! 😂 The Storytelling of this video was perfect for connecting the dots and realizing just how much time, effort, work, planning and sweat go into getting everything to mesh together! Closing in on a Half Million Subs! No Surprise! Appreciate the Bonus footage! MOO From next door in COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
This was a fascinating video and very happy to see the planning/investment that you’ve made paying off. Those silos are truly remarkable with everything you added to make them work so well. As a fellow Pennsylvanian (Venango Co.), you represent the hard work and ingenuity of our state so well to the rest of the world 👍🏻👍🏻 thank you!
Love your videos. Amazing to watch all of the progress on your farm. Thanks for your positive influence on RU-vid. We need a lot more people like you guys! God Bless.
That was one awesome video from start to finish Eric everything worked out so well from mowing/teading to getting it into you're new silo you put so much hard work into it you're an amazing young man you're dad must be so proud of you and you must be happy first new silo filled Really enjoyed the video as always looking forward to the next one Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮
Congratulations on a successful harvest, and first fill of your new “super silo”! I absolutely loved this action packed detailed video of harvesting the Triticale. I am so thankful it all went well for your custom harvesting team too. You do such an amazing job of filming and narrating your video’s. Thank you for sharing your beautiful dairy operation with us. Have a blessed weekend with your family!
congratulations! you and your father are very good project managers - and I bet it's all in your heads. nice job. the whole arc of this project so far, done to a tee.
Very interesting activities! The silo unloader install and first use was great. The work of the harvester crew is always interesting. They operate very efficiently. Interesting the careful drying of the triticale in the lower portion of the silo and how that is beneficial and the disadvantages of being too dry, also. Filling a silo seems to take less labor than the bunkers in that people don't have to put down tarp nor pack it down by driving tractors on it. It also takes up far less acreage.
What a monumental first silo fill. CONGRATULATIONS on the first step for robot feeding. Thank you so much for this great video. That tedder was awesome!!
I really enjoyed this. I hope you guys make more like this. Im not a T.V. guy and id rather watch things like this that are educational. I lived one a small family farm for years and I miss it. But I never knew about silos and how they operated because we never needed one. Keep up the hard work.
