The harvest team is really good. I’m amazed how perfectly they synchronize the whole process. They make it look easy but keeping 7 pieces of equipment moving and productive all the time for many hours requires some good planning and flawless execution.

As many commented on the last video. Your videos showing everyday farm chores are great! Even if it's another milking video it's a lot more exciting then the jobs some of us having working in the 'cube farm'! 😁

"I also try to put on a few pounds in preparation for this." Just as every kernel of corn counts, so does every pound. . . That made me smile.

60 years ago I was 14 years old and on my own. I lived on a class B dairy and milked cows only twice a day. 6:00 am & 6:00pm. There were only eight Holstein cows to milk. Yeah, I bucked hay, whitewashed fences and all that goes along with a small dairy. My boss had chickens and sold eggs, too. After Vietnam I worked as a conductor until retirement from the Southern Pacific Railroad. Now, at 74 I get to watch your large, well run operation. I admire your work ethic! Your dad must be proud... 👍

Hope everybody's having a great day. I always love to see what's going on the farm.

Absolute gold, Eric. I enjoy the drone shots just as much as the explanations. Thanks for bringing us along as you farm!

I never get tired of harvest time. Good job Eric.

YAY! Corn harvest video with drone footage, packing and a ride in the corn chopper! All the hits! That Versatile looks reeeeaally nice. A person could get spoiled driving that thing. You putting on a few pounds.... As someone who has "put on a few pounds" and is now in the process of taking them off again.... be careful what you wish for my guy. I recommend putting some bricks in your pockets instead...much easier to get rid of when you are done. Thanks for the great video of silage harvest. Looking forward to seeing the barn extension get finished up.

I appreciate what Eric does. I live on a farm and we start corn silage this week

I remember back in the late '70's harvesting 700 tons of corn for a large silage clamp (like Eric's) for a sheep feedlot outside of Tehran, Iran.We had two tractor-run forage choppers and sealed the top of the clamp/bunker after compressing the corn with heavy thick molasses pumped from a pit. Large plastic sheets weren't available then.

Absolutely love your drone video w/ the music. My wife and I look forward to this every year!! Really exciting! Thanks for taking all the extra time setting up cameras and showing us what is going on with your farm! We know it takes A LOT of extra time for you to take us along. Just know we LOVE IT!!! Also, thank you for all your perfect editing!! You dedication to this channel shows!! We are very impressed at how you do it all!!! Take care and may God overwhelm you and your family with blessings!

Such a sweet sight to see the needs of the winter in and protected. Very good day's work.

Dang Eric - You knocked it out of the park with this episode. Awesome videography showing the whole operation in perfect sync and your music was perfect. Just wonderful!!

Just am amazed at the technology of chopping corn now days. We had to drive down corn with a two row chopper with a wagon being towed behind. That chopper is a beast. I really enjoy your videos.

What a great feeling getting all that food under wraps. Good job everyone!

For some unknown reason, I absolutely love the music you use when showing the drone shots, that along with the synchronized moves of the machinery, is just so totally enjoyable to watch!! Never change the music please!! Love you and your dad’s unassuming, humble, vid’s…

You do more work in a day than I have done in my entire life. Dairy farming is amazingly busy.

The intelligence and wisdom of farmers is underappreciated. There's always jobs that need doing and they have to allocate resources in the most efficient way possible. Truly the salt of the earth.

You and the construction crew and the custom harvesting crew have the techniques down to a fine science! It’s so nice to see everything working in synch. All of your videos are so interesting to me…a non-farmer! Thanks for another great one.

One of the best harvest videos yet. It was good to see the action shots from the various roles of harvest and the Point of view shots that you did.

I have always been just totally amazed at how well the harvest process is "choreographed" like a Broadway musical. Everyone knows their part and it just all comes together. The tractors are pulling the wagons at just the right speed and as soon as one is full there is another right behind it ready to pull up, so the corn chopper never misses a beat. I also appreciate seeing how the bays are prepared to receive the chopped corn. The average American has no clue as to what it takes to farm. I appreciate your videos. Well done! Thank you.

enjoying watching the machines working in tandem, chopping and collecting. thanks for that.

These videos never get old. The guys cutting and hauling are just efficient! Watching all of you guys working together go get it done. Awesome.

Precision! "A well oiled procedure for bringing in the silage, your dairy is an awesome operation on all the crops you do.

I have watched 3-4 harvests now on you r channel and I am still impressed how good those guys are that do your harvesting. I have driven lots of farm equipment, never a combine/chopper. Very Impressive driving.

It's really nice you have a friend that can come by and help but last time I checked, you had a full time job too.

Thank you for posting. I look forward to this video every year!!!!!!! First chopping of corn into bunk.

Corn harvest was one of the best parts of the year for me. I am somewhat surprised that the tractor/wagon combination isn’t able to back onto the silage pile. We used trucks and always backed onto the pile. The loaded truck helped packing the silage, too.

Glad you got it done before the rain today! Hope you can get some extra rest now. I will say this- those guys make that look so easy when they do the chopping. It's like a well oiled machine

Just amazing. Planning and coordinating this major corn harvest is so impressive. Eric, you are working such long hours and so hard, yet you are able to document it all. Hope you have days when you can catch up on your sleep.

Eric, have you considered doing some large flood lights on the outside of the new barn extension? Could be useful for those late night bunker closings...

Everytime you have this crew out I think to myself how smooth they are.

What blows my mind is, all this work, equipment, man power and effort, it's all for a cold glass of wonderful milk.

Love the drone footage ✈️ Dad's deadweight cracked me up

I have watched this process before and I'm still amazed at how you fill, pack, and cover the silage. Barn expansion looks good also. Stay safe.

Love the effort you guys put into making these. Thank you!

Really enjoy your videos of professionals at work. You guys sure have it figured out - excellent coordination! Thank you for going the extra mile to get these great videos!

When I was a kid (back in the 70's) we lived on a farm in the summer then it was a ranch in the winter. All summer we grew crops for silage and trucked in hay preparing for winter. The chopper was a pull behind offset that threw the silage into trucks driving along side. In the fall we brought the cows in off grazing land and it was a ranch until spring. Man that pit stunk when we opened it. They could smell it in town 5 miles away if the wind was blowing right but the cows loved it. Spent many summers driving truck or the small bulldozer we used in the pit.

I'm from India, inspired by your videos I also started to make silage in bunker on a small scale..... Your videos are pretty good, I like them, and the techniques of dairy farming are also good enough

Great video especially the aerial views. Really see the operation thanks for sharing Eric

Farmers are amazing people!!!! So much work to be done day after day! Love you guys!!!❤

There's something very special about harvest. It's clearly a world-wide thing as just like yourselves, here in the UK everyone comes to help at the drop of a hat. People coming together and working as one, a community feel like nothing else. We appreciate farmers and respect you so much for what you do for us. After all, if it wasn't for farming, we wouldn't be here.

In spite of all the automated work to fill the bunker it still takes a lot of physical labor to fill the bunker. Thanks for taking us along!!

Great work by everyone. You got some really good shots as well, especially the drone footage. Good job!

Awesome video Eric! Congratulations to you and the entire team for a successful harvest! Pleased to hear you shout out your Faithful Employees. Thanks for the video!

These are some of my most favorite videos all year that you do. So satisfying!

Makes me appreciate my chocolate milk a lot more seeing the hard work and planning that goes into yearly harvests and herd maintenance

3rd corn harvest I’ve seen and seen every video between! Thanks for the content Eric! Long time watcher from southern Saskatchewan

Thank You for sharing your family videos with us 👍

When I was a kid back in the '60's I used to summer on a small dairy/tobacco farm in East Earl, PA - Penn-Dutch country. In the 'old days' we never had cabins with ac, or self-propelled machinery Eric. 😉The Allis Chalmers tractor, along with the combine, baler and corn cutter were open-air machines. The corn was kept in a lone silo located right next to the barn. I was there for one corn harvest and I rode along with the farmer as he pulled the corn cutter that maybe cut 10-12 rows of corn on each pass. I sat on a small toolbox on the left fender of the tractor and acted as a gofer. They used the PTO on an old John Deere to power the machinery that blew the corn up into the silo. Best days of my young life were spent working on that farm weeding rows of tobacco plants, tending to the chickens, helping milk the cows and riding shotgun on the Allis Chalmers. Farming is the most underrated profession in the world now days!

Weilk 3 times a day, 4am, 12 midday and 6.30 pm. We are going to twice a day end of the month. When they go out and some will dry off. Milk 450. We have grass silage, meals and maize. The cows love it. 😂 Great set-up you have there mate. In England we have most things smaller than you boys 😊

Awesome video Eric. Thats was a lot of work. So proud of you and your family. Y'all work so hard. Thank you

I'm a total greenhorn when it comes to a full scale dairy farm, but hot damn what y'all doin EVERY day of the year to keep milk on the table for the rest of us just blows my mind! Thanks for the hard work and then making it extra hard to film it all for us. You are the man MAN! And your pops as well along with the rest of your team of course. Best of luck to you and yours in the future please be safe out there and enjoy this life to it's fullest you deserve it. ✊🙏🖖🐄

Love your videos Eric!!!! I use to help pack corn when I lived in western North Carolina. I used a John Deere two cylinder 420 crawler with a blade on the front. It worked great for what little bit of corn silage we did.

I bet that fresh silage smell is so nice! It's like a ballet with all the machines working. Amazing!

I love your corn silage harvest videos! I think they are my favorite. The Versatile tractor is really nice.

I love watching the silage harvest every year!

Another great video as always. My pappy had a dairy if about 15 cows back in the 40's and 50's. From what he told me it was nothing like y'all's dairy. I wish he was around today to see how y'all do it with feeding cutting silage and the way y'all are set up. He would love it. Y'all keep up the good work stay safe be careful and may God bless y'all.

ALWAYS, enjoy your videos and your explanations of what you are doing. Your drone videos are also a big plus !!!

Love Your Life. Lost our Family Farm, in 1976. Moved into the suburbs, a trailer. Started washing dishes at 16, at a restaurant, became a line cook, left at 19, for the Marines. 21 years later, retired. Retired, from my last job, disabled, sep 2009. That makes, 13 years this month. Stay, aafe

Hard to believe summer is done and it's harvest time again. Here's hoping for good yields for you. That Versatile tractor cab is really nice. When your dad got in it really shows how big it is and the visibility looks awesome.

As always a very enjoyable video! And man, you gotta love the looks of that Fendt with the LED strips.

I always love learning about farming

The smell of freshly chopped corn silage is the best.

*Harvest season never gets old. Great work, Eric!*

Glad that you are getting feed for your animals. This year has been tough.

im really impressed with that silage crew... i ran a claas 900 for years and they sure do a great job!

I haven't seen the train of trucks in my area moving silage yet, but they run for almost a month all over the county. I pulled up next to the Class chopper they use in my car, and wow, it felt big as it took up 2 lanes at the stop light. There are 4 fields I can see from my house on the hill, and the corn here is getting well over 10-15 feet. These farming KZfaq channels certainly help people understand what farmers actually do, not just magically make food appear at the grocery store.

*Thanks Eric, great corn silage harvesting. I seem to smell corn while watching the video.*

For some reason, youtube only ever recommends these corn harvest bin fills to me from your channel. And I enjoy them! Either that's all you put out, or I'll see you next year when youtube recommends you to me again LOL. (Hopefully sooner, though...!)

Thank you always enjoy the videos especially the drone footage.

Great video Eric! Thanks 😊

Amazing work being done , total team work , stay safe , always !

It's exciting to see this as early fall is the best time of the year. Also the wife get's pretty excited about Halloween and this stuff is just a trigger for that..... Plus that, that puppy is fantastic!

Great video! We’ll be starting corn silage in the next week or so here in Wisconsin!

The terminator sunglasses are pretty cool!. I'll be back! 🤣

The silage videos are some of the best of the year!

Great video. It is really satisfying to see a bunk full of silage, better than money in the bank, these days. Work until midnight, then up at 04:00 to milk cows. As the saying goes, “there will be plenty of time to sleep when you are dead.” Time to be extra conscious of safety, more accidents happen when you are tired. Keep up the good work!

Love your videos!! You, Your family and employees stay safe!!

That time of the year, always love watching these videos. That Versatile tractor is an awesome looking unit. Yeah, the corn your using in the silage is some real nice looking stalks and ears. The guys you have doing your silage are a real efficient crew, they keep things going, that's for sure. I thought you looked like you were putting on some pounds, now I know why, just kidding. A long day and a lot of work getting done to fill the silo, great job. Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing, have a wonderful week.

I say it every year- the choreography of your harvesting is mesmerizing…

Thx for sharing this with us as we always keep you in our prayers for good crop and good harvest. 🥰❤️

Wow, that's a slick operation! Y'all got the silage making down to a science. The chopper operator doesn't waste a bite of feed.

Satisfying work filling them bunks! Time for a dew!!

Great awesome video Eric. Love that versatile . Best tractor made

Such an admirable work ethic you are able to maintain. Finish at 12 and up at 4 that's really tough going

Great video and excellent explanation! Thank you Eric! (As say often, I enjoy your videos as an ole city boy from Raleigh, NC - Capitol city of North Carolina).

Working hard bud! I’m behind on some videos gotta catch up been busy with work and helping on the family farm!! Barn’s coming along nicely!!!👌🏻

Something relaxing about your corn silage video's, thanks.

It still amazes me to see the amount of work required to produce milk! Truly amazing and lots of hard work indeed.

A long hard day but you guys got it done. Thanks for sharing

your buddy Mike is a good man. He helps you every year. Also I love the Versatile. Nice tractor

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC HAVE BLESSED DAY

Very satisfying to see harvest time. The animals need that food to get them through the coming fall and winter. I used to have longhorns here in Texas.

It can be zero wind ,but as soon as you get the plastic out its gusting 15 knots

Really enjoy the harvest,good job men👍👍👍👍

Eric, it is always gratifying to see you harvest your corn. It always seems to be a highlight of the year. May God keep blessing your faithful family.

Like a well oiled machine! Another great video!

Loved this video!! Nice to see the bunks getting refilled for the winter!! Went perfect !! Must of been the few extra # you put on Lol 😂 🙋‍♀️

Where did summer go. Here you are harvesting. Seems like it was just a few weeks ago that you were planting the corn. This seems to be a really busy day on the farm. Love watching all of the activity. Your videos are super Eric.Good joke about your Dad being in the tractor for some extra weight.The chopper crew sure does some precision work, impressive.If you ever need to get a really good headlamp for night work the Coast HL8R is fantastic. It is rechargeable. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
