We fill our heifer silage silo and move the blower to the home farm to put some there too. I show some footage of the forage harvester. The next morning we level it off and set up the unloader. Thanks for watching.

Great job guys. I'm a retired dairy farmer who utilized upright silos. My big silos were only 40 high and I was scared to death every time I had to climb them. I love your videos but watching you guys climb those silos almost triggered a panic attack. LOL God bless your family.

Hello there! My husband and I always look forward to your videos! We have come from farming backgrounds but not farmers now. We especially appreciate the times you include a scripture verse at the end . Without God, where would we be? We are both born again Christians and love to see others of like mind. May God bless you and your family with good health, God’s peace and abundant life!

No other industry would allow you to climb that silo without fall protection! I know you boys have been doing it for 10 generations, but there is a reason why farming is among the most dangerous occupations in America! Don't get complacent! Always think about what could happen, not what has or has not happened. Those cows need you, but your family needs you even more! Great videos. Keep up the good work and SLAM A DEW for me. ;-)

As a kid I used to walk behind a flatbed pulled by horses. We would pick up and toss the corn that we previously broke off the stalks on the flatbed. I like how you harvest better.

Very interesting to see the inner workings of your farm. I too didn't know how silos worked, and your comments, for example, about moisture content, and venting gases, and even seeing the two sets of ladders up to the top, just shows how complex silos and silo storage is. The best view in your vid was from the top of that silo, of all the surrounding farmland and farm bldgs and silos. You've got a big operation. Work safely. Nice verse.

The one thing that I have noticed from your videos is that farming is way more complicated, and dangerous, than working in the fields. Keeping things running and in good working order and somewhat neat and clean, takes a lot of back breaking chores. Be safe out there.

Being young enough to run up and down there like it's just upstairs is refreshing ,ah back in the day , oh well time to quit dreaming!l Glad you guys are still putting them to good use , don't owe you anything I'm sure so why not! My son has beef cows and he and his father-in-law still fill three very similar to yours! Channel is really taking off thanks to your hard work , you're on your way now ,been here since you started and knew if you stayed at it you'd succeed !
