We are a family owned and operated Dairy Farm in Michigan.
We finally finished chopping corn off the muddy field.
Kids take the camera and do a little vlogging of their own.

the things you have to do to get your crops in. another good example of what you go through to get your work done. liked the tractor packing the silage pile. reminded me of the heavy haulers in the oil sands, they compress the bitumen when they are diving over it, the same way the tractor compresses the silage.

I remember that when I was 15/16 I bought my 1sr car for $100 and we (close friends) ran and beat on that car in my grandparents corn field for months and we got it sick in the mud and the farmer was spreading manure and pulled us out. Boy those days were a blast

I worked for a custom harvester about 12 years ago, we had a twin engine Claus,at full speed it would process about 150 lbs.per second, if he hit a rise suddenly the windshield would be piled over with 1" square chips of corn and the driver had to get out on the hood to kick off the corn,we used trucks and were dragged through deep mud many times!!!good memories!!...this was in Indiana not far from you!

You guys really need to consider investing some air ride seats for your trucks. This way if there is somebody that has to wait at the top of the field to get loaded they can recline back while they wait.

Btw, you've gotten awesome at handling that truck. Hopefully the boys got you some heat. Great watching Ethan on the pile. Kevin needs some camera time.

@@acresofclayhomestead I am surprised a disk will be enough. Maybe it looks worse than it is. Mud is never easy to work in. Sounds like Makenzie needs to get out of the truck occasionally to stretch and get the blood flowing again. When I was driving a snow plow I could only drive for an hour before I got too stiff setting and had to get out and move while I could get out still. Farming is not easy and you don't ever seem to catch up.
