It's not that farmers were not smart 40 years ago, we didn't have the technology or the equipment that is available today. I also do not know of any small farmers that could even begin to afford most any of the equipment in this video. I know that this is a very large farm and this large machinery is a must, but most people who see this video think that all farmers are mega rich which is certainly not true.It all comes down to the farmers are not being compensated fairly for their product. Never have been, probably never will.

Thanks Paul

And the truck fills up twice as fast

Thanks and yes I was glad they got in touch with me over the summer to come out and do this. We're going to try and do some videos of them mowing and chopping alfalfa next summer.

@@farmhandmike Sweet! 😄

@@farmhandmike Pretty cool you doing a video at Windy Ridge. Very nice kept and well thought out facility they have. I used to haul cattle out of there a few years ago. Nice to see again.

Starting to see more and more of them. Triple mowers are really catching on now.

Generally they will pile them up outside close by so they can use them again the following season

Okay I'd like to find that video and hear what he had to say.

@@farmhandmike I'm trying to find the video in my history but no luck.

its a specific type of corn that is planted, it does not create the cob, its only used as silage feed

Corn silage is a large part of a dairy cows diet. The entire plant is chopped including the ear and cob. This is done while the plant is mature but still green with some moisture in it for the best feed value. Corn that is harvested with a combine is done after the plant and the grain is much drier. That is done for the grain only and the rest of the plant is left on the ground for organic matter or some farms will bale it up and use it for bedding.

If you want to get technical Corn is a grass.

@@farmhandmike It is, but nutritionally there's a huge difference.

cutterhead throws it up to an accelerator that throws it faster threw the spout

Think secondary stage on a snow blower and you will have an idea.

Thanks, this was done with my DJI Mavic Air 2S

@@farmhandmike thanks, I’ll have to look into it!

Might have to work on that one in the future

@@farmhandmike Mike. It would be great to see. When I go to visit my Dad and we watch a movie together, there’s times when we always joke about this sort of thing and the joke never wears out for us. For example, with a western, when some cowboys are riding through a desert and there’s piano music in the movie, one of us would say, “Imagine the cowboys ride past a man playing a piano in the desert.” Or, with orchestra music in the movie, one of us would say, “Imagine the cowboys riding past an orchestra in the desert with somebody conducting.” I love your videos. The overhead shots from your drone a lovely. That video with the plane flying low, I wonder what that pilot was trying to prove. I think, by law, it’s illegal for a pilot to do that. I’m from England so I’m sure that crazy flying would be illegal in the US unless somebody was crop dusting. That crazy pilot could causing somebody with a weak heart to have a heart attack doing that, mostly if he aims to fly directly over a farmer where the farmer fears the plane will crash into him/her.

The custom harvester I believe.

Concrete

They own it and like it

@Mike Less - Farmhand Mike it actually went back to the dealer a week after you stopped out. lots of wiring issues think its gone and got traded for another 8r370

If French is your primary language stick with it. Plenty can read and speak it. What you gave us is cabbage.

Time is $$$$$
