Been dairy farming in Northwest Illinois for the last 45 years. The changes in chopping corn silage is absolutely amazing. We were one of the first in our area to have a 2 row head on our chopper. Now one of the custom cutters in our area has one that chops 12 rows .

Farming Fixing and Fabricating, on KZfaq,has many in depth videos on how a chopper works, including the processor, and all the maintenance that goes into it. Great drone work Trevor!!

I could watch the chopper all day

The head is a kemper style head that allows you to run on any row spacing. You can harvest 30”,36”,38”,and 40” row springs without changing attachments. Before they developed them you had a different head for each row spacing. The kernel processor is designed to crack all the corn kernels to allow for better digestion in the cow’s gut. Uncracked corn goes right through them and out into to manure! The kernel is where the majorly of the feed value in corn silage is. The stalk,cob, and ears are mainly filler in the cow’s diet.

I love how natural the controls are to him like you can tell he's at that point that his body knows what to do and when cause that little spot he missed was cause he was showing with his hands how the machine crushes

My parents drove down over the weekend from idaho and your farm was one of the stops they had too go visit .. bought me a hat. Now I'll have too go grab it from them

Trevor in Kansas we call them Turn rows. With no flood irrigation we plant 2 times around a field and that is called the turn rows. We enjoyed meeting you in February when we was down there. We have a YT channel that our daughter runs and. We just had or chopping video on at Double G & L Farms Thanks for the good video Wayne

Good show

Good Times!😎👍💯

Another great example of farming Bales. Thank you. Watch out for dove hunters this weekend.

Live in Glendale Just found you about two months ago. Love to watch the hay process. Lived on a farm when I was younger. Quite a change in the equipment to put up hay. Love your videos! GOD bless!!

In the Midwest, farmers plant end rows around the fields so they have room to turn. They are harvested first. After harvest, when the fields are tilled, that same turning area are generally referred to as headlands.

Headlands

That was a great video

Good vid Trevor.

Always fun to have you out bud

Always interesting. Keep em coming.

We call them headlands.

👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cool process 🤘🏼

Awesome video mr bales

Good video. Koos Koos has driving skills. Thanks

Harvesting is easier than ever

Got my answer thanks

Everything I know about farming, I learned from Trevor. He is farm encyclopedia, but his brother taught me everything I know about diesel trucks

I had no idea Arizona had much agriculture.

Have you ever checked on doing mini bales for city people. The hay market can be a funny thing at times.

How far are the trucks hauling the chopped corn? Do they call the chopped corn silage in AZ?

He needs a bigger head for that chopper. I worked for a custom operator that had 2 choppers. They had a 10 row and a 12 row head. Also, today's corn has the potential to produce 7 ears per stalk in perfect growing conditions and fertility. Everything that happens from planting takes away from that.

Cool, just wanted you to be bugged😂

Why only a 8 row head 🤔? In South Dakota we run 12 row heads

Is this going to dairy? Would love to have some of this for my beef cows in sw Missouri.

Didn't know you chopped corn?

The ends are headlands

couscous?

Is there a You Tuber that does corn at all? Maybe we could learn about ear count from them? Ha hilarious!

I don't know if I'd be brave enough to put my friends on speaker like that. Sometimes the greetings are NSFW.

Why not a fleet of harvesters with 12 row chopping heads-?

I'll have to agree with your wife, you do look weird and it's not just your ears. LOL We need a new host. BTW you haven't mentioned anything about the free hay giveaway. 😂😂😂

Hey

How's your little sister will she be making an appearance I hope thank you happy Labor Day

Thanks for reading this comment. ❤🤍💙

Hey NORMAL PEOPLE would HIRE a PROFESSIONAL promot that music festival. They also wouldn't be all tongue tied and stutter through it. 🤔🫣🙃🫶
