I Tried Chopping A Log... 

Great video Jan! Glad you were able to put the problems all behind you and get in an amazing day of effort with a nice yield! Impressive piece of lumber that went part way through. The Versatile looks good pulling the sturdy JF Stoll. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for another great video Jan, Tough day with the breakdowns, but good to see you ready to go again. Thank you for sharing.

You never know what a day will bring forth but you guys are ready for anything, you work hard without complaining. Great to see the teamwork and the family working together. Want to see what mom brought out to eat!!

A little sibling rivalry there it seems Jan, trying to see who can chop the most wood with the silage chopper 🤣 Thank you for everything you and your family do Good job 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦

Thanks for a great video.

Loved the “Mountains of…” Great drone shots, and wonderful video. Thank you.

I am curious to know the feed analysis on the different silage crops, especially interested to know how the Rye does in comparison to the other crops. Would you mind sharing when you test the piles?

Dad’s to the rescue, nice to see him on video. Overhead video is great.

Awesome video Jan, nice intro, nice cinematography and good choice of music. Always look forward to your videos AND your sister as well. Love to see dad in the videos, always great to see the family working together. I'm sure mom brought a delicious meal. Would of been great to see the mooses!

Man….you rock!!!!! I am so enthralled with your videos…..love your look, love your fam….thx!

I really enjoyed this video. Like all the others 😊. This one had me going UUUGGHH for you in frustration when you were on a roll harvesting the barely then the delays started. Til the next and glad it all got fixed in the end.

looks like you need to sharpen your chain saw

That is pretty amazing that you got that log out and got it going in an hour or an hour and 30 minutes! Good for ya'll!!

I saw Laura Farms does refueling of equipment in the field and bought a rather large, dedicated fuel transport trailer. She talked about being happy with the purchase. It improves efficiency. Regarding the latest video made, the Ag expo, the large storage bin was used to better handle a labor shortage of truckers. It seems it can be very beneficial to handle the worker cost issue with non-human adjustments like that. Time is money whether it be truckers or farmers, themselves.

Good morning from Kodiak Island Alaska I love barley this is the first time I've ever watched anything like this spent lots of time in Dairy barns where they cut silage for the dairy cows also spent a lot of time in potato barns or as if properly called tubers spray polyurethane foam that's what I do for a living all the way over to India

Thanks for sharing the new episode. Great job Jan ! 👍👍

You folks really work hard. Glad you’re getting good results.

Hi buddy I am a big fan of you I always watch your videos it's great and informative also. Iam Harish from India. Good job and best of luck for your future.😊

10:18 it isnt the wildlife but the fact that in dry years you harvestable crops because the snow but the wild life is a very nice bonus

Awesome video Jan.. thank you

Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲

You might try taking the pto sensor out and cleaning it off. Some time they get metal particles on them and it stopps working from that. I don't think your interested but there's a new Holland FX 60 for sale on tractor house that is basically in your back yard. It might be something to consider. It cost less than what a bigger tractor will be. I just happened to see it. But i know you are not looking for a self propelled i just thought i mention it.

Another long day on the farm you guys work very hard😮

Good content and information as always. How many hours of work do you do daily? How many people do you need to harvest that barley? I would like to see what your Mom brings for lunch. Your family sure has a nice farm. I like how you put that dirt against those concrete walls and the space in the middle - looks safe. And I like those tree lines in your fields. Does it help with soil erosion? Thanks for all these videos.

Awesome video Jan

Kinda surprised Neline didn't flag that log for you. Oh well... s#*t happens.😐 At least you only lost an hour or so. Another great silaging vid, Jan!

Great video Jan. Look forward to more.

I didn't think of ot yesterday. We have a magnum 275 and it has a little load and a heavy load for the pto. Your might be on little load and that is why it doesn't start up good because ot take to long with the chopper. When you turn the pto on it should say heavy someplace on instruments on the corner post. Have to look in the book to see how to change it.

Great work ,do barley awns give a lot of trouble in the feed,,would wheat be better for whole crop

*Cool* gonna be a great Sunday, when Jan uploads !

Nice video jan 💪🏼💪🏼

Don’t think swather was the culprit, looks like airseeder hooked it when planting and pulled it out a couple feet into the field and Macdon dragged it into swath. Would have never seen it zip up the canvass. Great job folks, stay safe with these long hours.

Hello Jan. What happens to the silage with wood chips in the truck? Do you get rid of it or pile it together with the rest? Will it affect the cows if the chips are ingested? Regards to you and the family.

Dang tree lines always give ya grief with either low hanging limbs or the ones storms snap off into the crops. Glad there wasn’t big damage done to the chopper.

Great info. Great Work. Peace’s USA 🇺🇸

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

awesome grass harvesting & chopping & good removal of large chocked wood # ❤ 🇵🇰👍

Hello Jan, I like your MX, but the Buhler Versatile is also happy if he can go in front of the chopper and not just in front of the liquid manure pump. Today is Sunday, have a good rest.😀😀😀😀 Dieter

While in scool during summer break I worked for a few contract harvesters in Eastern Washington. Only one company would treat us hands with respect. The others deducted pay for breaks and meal times but we still had to work while eating what we brought ourselves. One would deduct wages for travel time between fields. I sure hope that you treat your hands better than the way too many places do and get away with it. It's happening to my daughter right now where she's driving a Pea Combine.

Great video! Thanks!

Dang that sucks glad u were able to fix it quick though and u weren't down for a couple of days

😂 good timing dude I just got done watching your sisters video of her cutting the crop

Busy,busy, not bad for a old man.😊

Awesome shades.

it was close, but neline was first. thanks for the tire toss footage.

From what Neline said on her channel you guys put in quite a late night repairing the metal ingestion damage on the chopper. No small thing if you ask me.

have you ever considered putting up a couple of Harvestore silos? .... just thinking of the labour costs you would save

Good job guys

Thanks Farmer, I ate today!!!

Thanks for sharing Jan

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us 😊

Great video , this family always working hard , stay safe everyone !!!

Jan, You make every thing look so weasy YOUR THE BEST Luv ya dude

❤

Great day on the farm

🇨🇦

Just curious why you don't grow corn for corn silage. Seems like you could run less acres if you ran corn. Would think the tons per acre would be alot more with corn rather than barley. Any way love the videos! Long time viewer here!

great video good job

Great video 💯✌🏻💚🌱

I noticed the Mueller Refrigerator Compressor I worked at there Home Plant in Springfield Missouri Helping build a Huge insulin Tank that was going to Port a Rico !

Un bonjour de la France 🇫🇷

How much was that little bag of inoculant for the silage worth? Any idea how many tires you have holding down all of that plastic? 🤷‍♂️

Lots of feed, it must be a relief to know you have what you need to feed your dairy. Aloha🤙🏼

Those tree lines help catch the snow and stops the soil from blowing away

Always enjoy watching

Cheers to you.

Looks like you need to change that mx 285 for a fendt the case seems to have a lot of issues

Not often you see a chain saw chopping barley 😂

Liking that Chevy Silverado is it a 2500 diesel? Because my grandpa used to have one of those actually before he passed away 13 years except he had the Chevy Silverado standard cab pickup those are my all-time favorite from GM

Long days, hope the crop production meets your needs!

Your welcome, I love to your videos.👍

Your crops are doing better than here. I chopped 1300 acres last week here in AB that averaged 2.5 tons/ac. It would've made more sense for us to trade machines!

Love watching!!!

We fitted an after market metal detector to a JF900 and a JF1050 but it was maybe 15 years ago so maybe they don’t do them anymore?

10th gen dairyman has about 200 head of cows so it's interesting to compare; the bunkers are larger at your farm. I do believe 10th gen sometimes will purchase some feed if they run out, but he prefers that not to happen.

You succeeded in chopping a log.

Good video.

If your dad is like my dad he's pissed the Harvester is broke down lol "Stuffs drying by the minute gotta get going!" Dutch dad's

13:41 why are you standing watching them all fix your boo-boo lol Very good video Jan.

So what was the noise coming from? Did the log knock a bearing out?

Putting a little fiber in the girls diet!

If u added forage oats would that help or hurt yield or nutrients values?

Is your barley silage ok for sheep as well as cattle ?

Where do you get all of your silage tires from?

good job boys!

💜💜💜💜

I think having trees are good as windbreaks that cut down on wind erosion on top soil.

Seems like the mx is in the shop more than the field. Might need something different

Hi. Can you still get all spareparts for that JF?

More farmers and ranchers should practice better stewardship and leave more strips of native land, or wildflower pathways for bees and birds. Thank You

Hi Jan, Judy from central Indiana USA. OMG! I hope I'm not setting you up for another 2 hours of lost time. You all must really be the Varsity problem- solving team. That whole issue of the log not fitting into the silage-rotor thing. Can you tell I'm not a farmer-slash-wife. Does that make sense to you? If it does, be very nervous about how your brain works, because mine makes very little sense. So I yammer a lot. If yammering is meaningful to y'all, I'm amazed. Geesh! I'm sure I'm talking in circles. Full stop.

A+

🇫🇷 Great video. 7000tons a year very impressive … are you always considering barley and never planting corn ? No crop rotation ? Thanks

You know you can't get us all ready to hear what we're having for lunch and then not tell us what in the world😂😂😂😂😂😂

Do you feed corn silage too? Greetings von brasil

That is called a peristaltic pump. They are used during heart surgery to pump blood in the body.

Do you not think a new chopper wood not be more effective and a newer tracktoer

That would be my grandpa on my old man's side of the family

How did that get thru the mower? They would have heard that go through
