Chopping OATS 4 Feet Tall!
Рет қаралды 191,740
Күн бұрынThis past week we chopped oats for silage. Watch as we swath the oats with the Kubota DMC 8540R, chop them with a forage harvester, haul them back to the farm, and push and pack them in the bunker.

Welcome to Peterson Family Farm. On this KZfaq channel, we plan to show viewers what happens on a real life family farm in Kansas. From working with animals, to planting seeds, to harvesting grain, to putting up hay, to fixing equipment, you'll get to see what farming is like! Our farm is a 5th generation farm started in 1882 by our great great grandparents. We grow wheat, corn, soybeans, milo, sunflowers, and forages and we feed about 1,000 head of cattle. To learn more about it, watch our channel intro video here: • Welcome to Our New You...

Looks awesome! That field of oats is such a blessing!! Thinking of you and all the rest of the wheat farmers and praying for abundant yields and good prices! Thank you for all you do!

No luck. Corn and soybean farmers are high on the hog, as usual. Wheats been $5 or less for 25 years. That's not an accident.

@chrisanthony579 3 жыл бұрын
My "city boy" question is why the crop doesn't ferment or spoil from humidity? If I create a pile of grass, it basically rots in a few days. Is it packed so tight that air can't get to it? Much respect to those that feed us but soooo many questions.

As a sheep guy I just get to look forward to hay BUYING season... shoving tons of hay down their gut all Winter long. I wonder if they ate $20.00 bills if it would be cheaper? The right kind of digestion would be if they just pooped gold out to pay for their food bill! (But we have this contract that balances things...I sell their children for food!)

Would it be safe to say the oats may have yielded 150 bushels per acre as a grain crop?? Oats makes great silage though. We used to chop some oats when short on feed in the early summer.
