Farming is never a boring job, it's just repair after repair. Cows need to be fed in order to supply milk and everything else for city people to survive.

A little moisture fermentation in the silage helps the cows digest the waste material. Creates all that wonderful carbon gas and very healthy cows. Horses too.

Good to see the behind the scene, so to speak, of Kevin and the son's preparing the combine for the earlage. Most don't get to see the work that goes into the preparation of the equipment prior to that, different heads and changing or installing those. Nice video, I enjoy what you did there. Thanks and I hope you have a good Labor day and a great week ahead.

Thank you Ronda for showing us how you check out your Earlage machine. I would imagine that your cows are sure happy to eat the feed made from this corn. The deer likely love eating corn from your field as well. I recall last year or so that you had to replace some tractor tires because of antler punctures. Thank you for your channel.

Thank you for your video. Small question: why clean, grease and oil the head just before harvest starts and not after the harvest and store it dry. You have enough space 😉. Would prolong the life of the head and its parts I think. And less risk of troubles. Greetings form the Netherlands.

I let out a big sneeze like that one time and my coworker said it was epic. I guess he had never heard a sneeze that thorough. definitely cleared out sinuses. isn't that what a sneeze is for? you just have to not get any on you or anyone else and it's all good.
