WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN 30 YEARS - SILAGE 2022 IS A GO 

I'm not growing up on a farm but I do the same thing

It will be interesting to see what machines will be around in 20 yrs, once the greens don't put us back a 100 yrs, get the horses and the mowing bar out lads.. 🙄😂

did you mean cow parsley at 2:48

Great vid. The time lapse of the vovlo on the pit was unreal. Crazy how far machinery has come on over the years. Most of us looked forward to silage season as kids. And some of us still do 🙈.

Would you consider cutting a bit earlier seeing as you calve so early and send a lot of milk when cows are on silage? I would think you’d need near 80 dmd silage for your cows especially with what price meal is going to be this winter We cut 3 weeks ago and we start calving the last days of jan

Great video as usual was that a John Deere I seen in your field Adrian 😁👍

Just sitting here with me two boys enjoying this latest video, top quality stuff. The way you recall your younger years is a joy to watch and listen to, just so natural and relatable. Loved the last clip of the family. Great inspiration for the younger generations 👌🏼

I started putting in silage aged 11 with a Massey 135 with buckrake on loader. No power steering. Father with Massey 575 and wilder twin chop. 2 weeks solid of 8am to 11pm.

Its a testament how good this channel is when it has 31 positive comments and its not even up an hour 👍

We call that white flowered plant on the roadside Bishop's Weed, because that's what my late parents call it, but I think it is more correctly known as hogweed or cow parsnip.

Hi, great video Adrian really interesting.

Fantastic Aidan, crop prepared well and a great team to bring it in. 👏🏻🍻

Great video

Brilliant video Adrian 💪👌👍

Good video, like yourself I love all the different tractors of old. I think that weed is wild parsnip

Awesome video 👍 great you got it all done well done team🤩👍👍

Great video, I think those big white weeds at the road are cow parsley.

Loved this video Adrian. I remember the silage from years ago and cutting with the double chops and drawing in with an old 168 and single axle trailer which was more often on its side🙄🙄. Them lads sure did not hang about, I can’t believe you got that in and covered in such a sort time. Fair play and great to see a whole family effort.

I watch a lot of farming channels on RU-vid but yours is the one I look forward to seeing most every Saturday/Sunday. I’m not from a farming background but I think your a breath of fresh air when it comes to farming compared to the other channels. The way you go into detail and explain things really well especially for the people who aren’t farmers, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work mate you should be proud 👍

Great video Adrian,there’s one thing in this life,no one can take our memories,good to here you telling us your childhood days,would be interesting to here your farther talk through his life from start to step back

I really like your videos

Hot tuna got the same one

Hi lad I must say great videos and I see he has all good tractors bring the silage in🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Class video and unreal machinery

Fabulous drone shot towards the end. Brilliant to see all the family.

Great stuff Adrian, mighty days work 👍 Great memories of being a young lad too,I remember those days well. Our local contractors had crystal tractors drawing in. Used to be great Craic watching them going the road and listening to the sound out of them. And of course mammy warning us to stand well back and only look.

You young hotshot of farming Adrian thank you its so nice to see a young man like yourself leading the way in farming u are a brilliant farmers and are very much ahead of yourself at such a young age all I can zay it well done and hats off lad. AND THANK YOU. #FARMINGKING

Love Your Videos Adrian I Always Look Forward To Them x

Terrific video

Hi Adrian love your videos why do you push down your pit where's any one I have seen push up wards . Thanks a million Keep up the great work

Excellent video . Brilliant drone footage.

Great video adrian

Great video to watch all those camera shots fantastic as always

Great

Thanks Adrian, another great video. Always a great day/feeling when the hay, silage in all in. Great memories too. I often wonder what my Grandpa would think of all this huge equipment. He farmed with horses when my mom was a kid and still milked his cows by hand. Nice to have all the family helping too!! Was that your Dad on the pit with you? Bet he has some great stories. Take care.

Happy to see you getting started at silage. Hope the weather stays good for you. Have a great day!

I think it is the feeling of food security getting the silage pit full - imagine if you had to buy in a heap of feed for the cow you just could afford it, no farmer could. I remember as a kid when the hay was finished and stacked. They were in bales at that time and it was a massive job but when it was done it was a good feeling - farmers now do silage in New Zealand but as you know our girls are outside all year round, just different weather temps but they still have silage as well - with your girls with ring worm - do you have a run-out area to let them go to an a sunny day in the winter or is their no such thing in Ireland

The White plant beside the road is Hemlock.

Well done guys…I tidy job well completed

The things you strimmed are called cows parsley but we just call them white weeds.

Adrian I know how you feel I live in place with no farming but there used to be hay made on a sports field near me as a young lad and I loved that time,I'd be down checking to see if the lads had started cutting and if so I'd sit on my auntie's wall all day everyday till it was done and baled and taken away Great times and I'm still tractor mad 😆

Great video Adrian and Family, The best time of the year, was silage time, and you got a great day for it, good luck with her Lad!

Great video Adrian as well getting the silage in perfect condition it really tops it off to have family,friends and neighbours to give a hand a big social event

Great video Adrian.

Great video . Oh I remember silage well. The tractors and trailers were smaller and it went on for weeks but it was more of a social event for us as we cut silage with our two neighbours. We all had a few bit of machinery which added up to a full silage crew .

Thank you! I had no idea that was how silage is made! Cheers from Tassie 🙃

How many acres of silage do you have in each cut Adrian.

Great video Adrian, takes no time now with the modern machinery, my dad use to drive a TW25 it was some machine

Great success Adrian and family ! What a feeling to have it completed. Thank you for sharing.🐄

Great video Adrian as always.. Treasure those memories mate and your making more for your kids as you go on..

If that tall weed ontge road side has a white flower similar to elderberry tree it's called cow parsley if you look closely at it you will find what looks like a spot on it this can cause you skin rash like a burn so be careful when strumming. Great quality in the video

Excellent video Adrian great to see the family helping you out

I watch a few other farming channels but yours i the best

Btw that white plant is Ann’s lace I’m pretty sure are roads are littered with it

Incredible video as always. I hope we can hear more of your childhood stories again

Lovily only awake and a nice cuppa in my farmer phils mug haha

We have that white plant on the verges here too.As far as I know it is cow parsley.

Brilliant video. I could watch stuff like this all day, i find fascinating . Thank you for uploading.

Cow parsley.

The weed on the crossroad is hog weed and it’s poisones and u come out in a rash after it

Cow parsley Adrian is the name of the white plant

I farm we farm can you comment on my freinds farming channel grants agri videos he is a big fan of your videos please.

The John Deeres look so much at home on your farm!

I remember doing the hay , with pitchfork for a month, even after dark. Dad had fields that had no tractor access. And had let hay lie for a month or barn would explode with he heat. Went thru an inhaler a day due to asthma At least I got a rest, when breathing got too difficult. Hated farming with da.

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada you have great videos thanks for sharing with us all.

Loved hearing about your wonderful childhood memories

Very good video and a top class silage outfit

I look forward to these every week, really appreciate the work you put in to share everything that goes on day to day to show us all what goes into it

Thank you for writing a letter back to Jamie through his school. He’s a big fan of yours and that letter really made his day!! Thanks again. Keep doing what you do! Great to see kids interested in farming.

Are those bee hive boxes you raked around?

Great video Adrian as usual and it’s great to see you got the silage in and all that great help too 👌

Great video Adrian

Well done, all in, bring on the second cut, big bales ?

Great to see a pit fill and a decent loader driver filling it. Love your enthusiasm please keep it going.

Hello Adrian and family. Thanks for all the videos. Did ye draw silage from the far away fields back in the 80s and 90s and if so, how many trailers were drawing and how many days did it take? Gary.

why don't you fill front of pit first and slope it up to existing silage so you could keep pit well rolled during filling then fill from other side. Is your protection cover all one cover or do you use small covers and overlap them.

Quick question or maybe a stupid question,will last years silage at back of pit get used this coming winter ?

Hi

Good to see the silage cut

Brilliant video

Great video, some fantastic shots. Out of curiosity why did you fill the pit from that end? Down this side of the country they’d start at the other end and build against the leftover silage

Always great to get the silage in, in good conditions and no rushing or racing trying to get it finished up and covered. Great having plenty of help when the covers come out. You know who you’re real friends and family you can count on then!😬 Any chance of seeing old photos or old videos of you cutting the silage down through the years Adrian?!

another great video amy tshrits

Great video Adrian. Nice grass, great team

Great video again Adrian. Love the silage season too. Have a great weekend.

when are we meeting your father and having a chat with him about life time on the farm

Went to quick (message)hit the wrong button 😂Was saying,,your father talk about his life from start to stepping back for you to take farm on,looks like you won’t be worrying about having enough feed for the animals,nice to see the ringworm clearing up now.well done you and your family sorting out the silage clamp👍🍻

Great video again Adrian 👍🚜

Some different

1st

Well done Adrian and extended family another great video, great to see the old pics of the silage gear, we all have great memories of doing the silage when we were younger, "bad brakes, poor trailers, push off buckrakes, Crystal's, Ursus, Masseys" some crack looking back. Well done.

Hey

Silage is ago

Brilliant video….. best farm silage video I’ve seen this year 👏🏻👏🏻😍 I remember when I was young cycling home from primary school I used go visit and spinning with contractors and my 2 neighbours used cut their own with double chop….. that was some marathon!!! Good aould times!!
