How Tightly Packed is a Corn Silage Pile - The Entire Corn Silage Pile Process. 

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

It reminded me of wall coal mining. The cutting head is very interesting

Nice video👍😉 here in east germany everybody has something similar on the back of the feeder wagon, it loads the wagon directly. I like the smell of corn silage😃👍

This is awesome, I grew up on a very small dairy farm (about 100 head) and we never did silage like this. Only bales.

This was a great video, Mike! Thank you so much for sharing! We are also a YouTubing, farm family that tries to educate about agriculture. Just wanted you to know that you do an amazing job as an agricultural advocate….you’re a great teacher! We are getting ready to chop our first field of corn silage today! Great work and blessings on your ag journey!

Always enjoy the silage videos and the mowing. Thanks!

Always a good show Mike, thanks for sharing your work.

Excellent video as usual. I promise not to complain about the cost of milk at WalMart ever again!!!

TBH I'm surprised we don't have a compression machine to make large blocks of packed corn chaff into tight blocks to be bagged by a system. Imagine something handling wise the size of the stackhand-10's volume that is shoved into a tight block bag and has the air sucked out and swapped with nitrogen. Have you seen the grain drying stiring bunkers used in Europe? I don't think we're far off from crane-beam systems to handle and pack silage in immense and deep pits running only on electric power instead of dealing with tractors running over it. That's one advantage that the vertical silos had and have, the huge height really packs the hell out of the bottom. I think a thorough modernization creating a series of square chambers with interchangeable lids with a gantry system on top could be quite functional for processing.

He looked like he was struggling a bit coming up from the bottom. I watch a dairy farmer on RU-vid and he starts at the top and seems a lot smoother than stating at the bottom.

That’s one good looking tractor and feed mixing cart. Thanks for the video Mike. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

that was interesting never knew that's how they take care of the cattle thanks mike

Cool video Mike! The variety just keeps growing, eh? Love it!

Good video

That is really a neat piece of equipment. Does a great job and doesn't effect any of the rest silage Pike. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻.

Great video Mike

hey Mike yeah we were more using a sheer grab, cut blocks out the face and let mixer break it up, we've switched to alfalfa silage as it's less invested risk plus you can blend it with 2yr old straw for tonnage

Hello everyone great vidéo mike

We’ve stopped grinding down silage for 10-15 years in Europe, and have switched to cutting down the pit.

Another awesome video keep them coming in

The defacer looks a lot safer than just ramming the face with a loader and causing a collapse.

It was interesting,never saw a defacer before and I"ve packed some silage back in the day

Nice video! One of those cows saw the feeder and stuck her head out like “JUST SHOOT IN MY MOUTH!!!” 😂 If you ever get the chance I’d love to see how all of dairy cow feed is made.

Love your videos, very informative, we’re never too old to learn. Regards from Down Under.

You should come to NW Iowa and get video of covering silage piles. We have church groups that do this as a fundraiser. 100+ people covering massive piles in about 3 - 4 hours.

Nice video Mike and hey don't play with the silage pile it may think your having to much fun with it lol

Great video mike

Hey Mike! Why they don't use self propelled tmr mixing wagon? In EU most of big dairy farms using such an equipment. Huge saves of time and labour cost. Anyway great video! Greetings!

Corn silage is basically a concrete block when's packed correctly

That pile is huge do you sell any of it or do you use all of it? This is the coolest video I've seen yet.

👍✌👏 ❤❤❤ 💯THANK YOU , MIKE .....💯 🙏😍🥲🥰😇 💜💜💜

yupyup . defacer keep less "face" exposed to air , less disturbed silage , less spoilage ..... iinstalled one on a KOMATSU loader years ago , then year later REPAIRED it ; silage is so tight , they can wreck deface frame if force to hard .
