I remember well as a teenager bailing hay for a local farmer. Pick it up, throw it on the truck, bring the truck back to the barn and unload and stack all by hand and getting absolutely covered in fine particles of hay. I was always so fricken itchy with a thick coat of sweat. I smelled worse than the cows in the barn.....but I miss it. I learned a lot about work ethic working on the farm. Good family values too.

That's because they are in the mind set of filling it. If it were winter and have been feeding from it for awhile it would be half empty. Sociology.

I remember that trip up the silo every morning at 4:30 AM to throw down the mornings silage for the dairy cows after milking. We weren't fortunate enough to have a unloader to do that for us. Guess that's why my dad had two sons.

@oldamericaniron5767 3 жыл бұрын

Climbing the silo to fork out silage makes me think of a “funny story”. My Father I believe was quite progressive for the time, he bought a silo unloader in about 1960. But the interesting story his he had a barn cleaner installed in 1955, two years before my folks had indoor plumbing installed in 1957. That’s the year they had there 6th child, my Mother was taking care of 5 boys before indoor plumbing.

@acceptingabnormal 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, and William W, for commenting! I've often wondered about what was done before unloaders, how long unloaders have existed, which lead to how long silos existed and if they always had unloaders, which seemed unlikely. Anyway, I wondered but that seemed like a heck of a thing to Google. 😆 I can really picture it now.

I'm finding more and more that chopping hay is getting more common. 20 years ago I don't know of anyone that did. I suppose these mixer feeders and TMRs are the reason.
