This video is about day 1 & 2 of filling the silo - blowing corn silage with the John Deere 720 diesel.
Hi my name is Paul & I’m Organic Dairy Farmer South Dakota. I farm with my younger brother & we milk 50 cows. We are a 3rd generation family farm that farms 326 acres in which we raise corn, oats, alfalfa, soybeans plus we do rotational grazing with our milk cows.
We have been a certified organic dairy since November of 2006 & we take a lot of pride in what we do & strive to produce the highest quality products that we can.
I hope I can teach you a little bit of something about organic farming also in process maybe have a little fun along the way. Don’t be afraid to think outside they box!

Hooray for the 720 still earning its keep.

That was my all time favorite job on the farm. We used a 720 to run the blower... 70ft silos worked just fine... The fuel savings alone makes using the old girl well worth it. Miss those days.

We filled a 65' silo with a Farmall Super H from 1957 to 1963 when we picked up a Super M. Everyone would look at that tractor and sake their heads and wonder how it did it.

As teenagers, we had a 20X60 silo, that we would climb, just to throw a paper airplane off of. The bottom ten feet didn’t have a ladder, so we would climb the rings on the outside of the silo to get to the ladder.

Awesome job Paul! It's great to see the older tractors being used but not abused. I think everyone gets those messages and invites from the "soiled doves", spam crap. Social media slams the door on regular Joe for tiny infractions, but they won't stop spam. Doc

Loved filling silo growing up. Had a Gehl blower and 2 row chopper. Had a side dump wagon like yours but it was green. Almost identical to yours so must have been painted at some point. Nothing smells like fresh silage. They got rid of the cows a decade ago and it took my cousin a while to get used to sleeping in until 7!

Putting the 720 on the blower will guarantee that it will have a good winter, you know if it just did little jobs all summer and did not get worked, that is not good for it. good job

The NH 28 Whirl-A-Feed is an effective design for lower horsepower tractors by helping to smooth out the chunks. Ran it often with a 26HP WD. Gave no problems until recently where part of the large fan housing rusted out and was able to weld in a patch.

We were cotton, Soybean and winter wheat and rice farmers we were 4 row until 1967 or 68 then my dad leased another 500 acres of soybean ground and we went to 6 row 38inch row spacing, in 1980 we went with 71/5 inch rows on soybeans which was a life saver we averaged approximately 6 to 7 bushels per acre more than our neighbors who were still in rows. 1980 started very hot and dry I think our overall soybean yield was 10 bushels per acre and cotton yield was 1/2 bale per acre we always normally averaged 1 bale

Scares me to death watching a guy climb a silo with no cage around the ladder and no safety harness. One wrong move and, well, that wouldn't end well. Gotta love the view from up there, though.
