Chopping Corn & Building a Silage Pile on a Dairy Farm near Hollansburg Ohio - Harvest 2022

In this video I am out with a family dairy farm near Hollansburg Ohio as they chop corn silage for their dairy cow herd. In the field they are running their Claas Jaguar 980 self propelled forage harvester and chopping into dump wagons that haul the silage to the farm where they dump it on a silage pile. Once the silage is dumped they are building the pile of silage (pushing & packing) using their John Deere 9620RX and 9220 tractors both with front mounted silage blades.
Tractors in the field hauling the silage are
John Deere 8345R pulling a JBS dump trailer
John Deere 8295R pulling a Penta DB50 dump trailer
John Deere 8235R pulling a Penta DB50 dump trailer
I shot this video at the farm in early September 2022.

As always Mike I enjoy each and every video that you produce .chopping silage was always my favorite time of the year. I love the smell of fresh chopped corn .but love to smell it when it has been fermented. I miss those days so much anymore .thank you Mike for all that you put into your videos I truly enjoy each and everyone you produce .

Always enjoy your videos Mike. Silage videos are amazing to watch plus watching a summer video in the winter is always welcomed. 😁👌🏻

It seems to me that pulling on to the pile to dumpis more dangerous than backing up to it. I also think the tracks loosen more than it compacts and would be much harder to clean! Great video Mike!

Little different seeing the tractor and wagon drive up over the pile while emptying. That’s quite common in Europe I believe. Whatever works is best 👍

That's why they call it green chopping.

Thanks and yes I definitely want to get out to eastern Washington one of these days for some videos. Been to Washington 4 times but 3 were in the winter and one was early summer.

They need a spreader that is sized a little more like the rest of their equipment

That little one is just for the small clean up jobs I believe.

That’s also kind of unfortunate that the weather in the video started off decent but then slowly got increasingly cloudier and gloomier as time passed, hopefully you didn’t get rained on while trying to record this video, that would have been unpleasant if your camera lens fogged up or your drone unintentionally crashed due to losing line of sight between it and the remote while trying to get the aerial footage.

There won't be a more efficient way of producing cattle feed until they figure out how to make genetically engineered artificial feed in vats at pennies on the dollar compared to corn silage. Some type of algae probably. Will you be covering that process, Mike?
