Chopping organically grown 85 or 86 day corn for the Phoenix Farm. No herbicides or pesticides used. Only fertilizer used was dry manure the previous fall and 9900 gallons per acre of liquid manure before planting.
We were hired to plant and chop. This is the first time a silo has been used on this farm for silage in 15 years. 20x40 Harvestore with a Hercules unloader. In the process of getting the other 20x70 revamped.
John Deere 8300, the new holland 900 chopper, and wagons were ours.

Farmall 806 and IH 1066 pulling wagons.
Yes I know it’s a long video.

Love the natural corn like that. Nothing but manure and time

It’s very cool how well it grew especially this being the first time trying it. My corn at home is sprayed and fertilized cause I don’t have enough cattle to use just manure. But I’m glad these guys are able to pull it off!

That’s awesome! Yeah definitely cool that it worked this year. Our corn at home is fertilized and sprayed. We don’t have enough manure to do this. Sounds like a good yield and gotta love a good ole 856!

Appears to be a beautiful farm operation. Love all the older red tractors. All the barns, silos, etc. Has to be a lot of fun in spite of all the hard work.

It’s a really pretty operation! Very nice to work back and forth with them. All the IHs have a ton of hours on them. Thanks for watching!

Howdy! Thanks for stopping by! Glad I could bring some entertainment! I do enjoy running older tractors. My favorite we have has to be the 856. Very nice all around tractor. I love them all but for sure the most comfortable is the 8300.

Retired dairy producer now in CA. It is missed ( a little). Stay safe. The secret to organic is ready access to and liberal use of livestock. Yea Haa!

Was wondering if there is any nutritional value to the corn stalks that are that dried out? I know that there is in the what my grandfather who farmed in South Dakota called dent corn, in the mix? He just picked it with a M and two row corn picker McCormick and plowed it under later. I produce horse hay in Snohomish Washington using a 966, Hydro 70, 656 hydro, SMTA and a 400. They all have there job to do.

It seemed like this stuff was gonna be too dry. But the variety that was selected was a slow dry down variety so it held moisture extremely well. Fermented nicely. Our corn at home was drier yet and still turned out nice in the bag. Very cool on the line up of rigs! We don’t have any letter tractors anymore. Smallest one we have is an 806 now and that might go down the road too.

Why is it so dry? The silage

@amniconvalleyangus 4 ай бұрын

We couldn’t get into the field till it froze. We had 17” of rain between September and then. We tried one time and got absolutely buried

That corn is way to dry to make "proper ensilage". I guess the cows will eat it anyway. Better than nothing.
