Chopping OATS 4 Feet Tall!

This 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 KZread 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...

    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.
