I work for a big caseih/claas dealer here in Cali and it’s go time! Working from can’t see to can’t see! Worked for a custom harvesting crew for over five years and I much rather be on the service side of things! I can’t wait for nut harvest next! I’ve been in the agriculture world for almost ten years now and it’s more then a job to me. It’s my lifestyle. It’s my duty when a feed tractor is broke down, a shaker can’t shake, a chopper can’t get to the next field to get them running again. From saving the customer time and money to the dairyman or rancher from not getting the product they need when it’s at the perfect time to harvest. And being in agriculture takes a different level of work. Patience, endurance, meekness, and mental toughness to hang in there. Seven days a week most of the time, until December. We sacrifice a lot to make it happen! God bless!!!

The smile on your face at the end of the video when all the rye was in the silo, harvested dry and without any rain, proves that it is the small things that gives every dairy farmer a kick to keep doing it. It’s not luck it’s pure dedication.

We ran a 1066 pushing more than that on the blower. Old 60" kools bros tossed a paddle one day. Through the band, put a hole in a stave, over my uncle's head, 100+ feet through the air and through the tin wall on the tool shed.

Eric - still basking in the joy of meeting your wife and baby in part 1. , ,very sweet! Thanks for the nice demonstration and explanation of the harvest process. I totally get your thoughts on purchase of equipment. One of the things that initially amazed me in viewing your channel and SaskDutch's is the amount of equipment you need on a daily basis to run the dairy farm. It seems quite the investment. So your wise choices make perfect sense. God's blessings to your family!

Having your crops custom harvested for your dairy operation is probably the without a doubt the very best thing financially with the price of milk these days. I’m just taking a wild guess but I would say your custom harvester has about a million dollars wrapped up in the equipment in the video. Thanks for another great video Eric I appreciate what you and your family do for us.
@captaindee6130
@captaindee6130 4 жыл бұрын
Jeff Brooks If all that equipment (chopper, pickup head, 3 tractors, 3 wagons/carts) was bought new then it's well over a million bucks worth. We gave up on custom harvesting (they were rarely if ever on time, feeds were almost always harvested too dry, and we hated being stuck with the poor results for the whole year) and bought new pull-type equipment and a used high-hp tractor. It was a big investment (about $200k) but now we control the process, rather than watching corn and grains like this rye dry up in the field. Custom silage harvesting only really works when there are lots of options to pick from and/or the operators have enough sense to not try to chop everything under the sun for every man and his dog.

We had a small farm in West Salem OH when I was younger, it was 26 acres and we rented the land out to neighbors but it was really my fathers dream as more of a vacation spot on the weekends and as a stress reliever from his job. I have fond memories of our farm and you have helped rekindle an interest in modern farming. Thank you.

I really enjoyed your two-part episodes on the winter-rye harvest and silo storage! I really know almost nothing about rye, except it makes tasty whiskey! In the early 1990’s, I went on the wheat harvest a with custom harvester company. We started in northern Texas, harvested through Oklahoma and both states’ panhandles, then Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, then briefly Manitoba, but mostly Saskatchewan Canada. LONG days operating combines and grain trucks, but really good memories! As far as dairy knowledge, my parents use to force my brother and I on alternating days to get up at the ass-crack of dark and milk our cow each morning! Not nearly as good of memories, as that damn cow would do her best to kick you or the milk bucket if she could get away with it! However I have to admit, pouring the cream skimmed from the top over a bowl of Post Toasties was pretty freakin’ good I have to say! 👍🏼

Awesome operation! Great coordination, and explanation! Don't talk yourself down, there are a lot of smaller operations than your farm! I'm local to you (somewhat, about 30-40 minutes away) in Glen Rock, PA and I grew up in farm country. Lived on a 56 acre farm for about 15 years. We never farmed it but we did rent it out. When I was a kid (7or8yo until 16yo or so) I worked on a hay, straw, soybean, wheat and corn farm w/ my grand father, so I can really appreciate the work you guys do! Not only do you raise crops to feed your cows but you also maintain a heard of cows and milk them 3 times a day! Trust me it is NO small feat what you do daily!!! Most people have no clue what it takes to be a farmer, Real hard work and a lot of physical labor! I know you do a lot of your own welding, fabrication and repairs but hit me up if there is ever something you can't handle, if you ever need any welding, fabrication, machining or equipment/hydraulic repair work done, I'd love to help you guys out! I've owned my own shop for a little over a year now. Anyhow, it looks like an excellent start to the 2020 farming year! I wish you, your family (especially the little one!) and your crew the best for this season! Stay safe and healthy in these weird times! Dan @6-4_Fab (717)893-3853
