Good morning!

I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying everything goes as planned with no problems 😊

Farming is never a boring job, it's just repair after repair. Cows need to be fed in order to supply milk and everything else for city people to survive.

I miss making earlage

Hope all goes well and you have an abundant amount of feed.

Good afternoon from keavy Kentucky

Hello from Shelby north carolina

hard working boys

Oh Boy, that time of year again!!! Waking things up, digging out the implements, cleaning them up, inspecting them, changing fluids, etc. Nice to have the extra "muscles" around to help.

Très beau champ de mais

My dad and brother never worked that well together on shop work. It's great see your guys smiling and getting things done together.

Great job guys

Always plenty to do on a dairy farm with all the equipment etc. This family always rises to the challenge.

Great family you and Kevin have raised the boys are such fine young men thanks for taking us along

Bravo Rhonda love your posts and family blessings

Great Job guys!!!

It's nice to see the guys all working together. Love watching your videos Ronda! Love you all ❤

Love seeing all working as a Beautiful family love you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I usually get play dough between the KP and blower when it’s that green, a few days it will be perfect

Did you know who was the father of corn? Popcorn !!!

Thanks for the experience. Seen things like this but this was a real experience. Keep up the good work. True family pride is priceless these days in time.

Here in Minnesota we would call it silage!

A little moisture fermentation in the silage helps the cows digest the waste material. Creates all that wonderful carbon gas and very healthy cows. Horses too.

Your corn looking good

Good to see the behind the scene, so to speak, of Kevin and the son's preparing the combine for the earlage. Most don't get to see the work that goes into the preparation of the equipment prior to that, different heads and changing or installing those. Nice video, I enjoy what you did there. Thanks and I hope you have a good Labor day and a great week ahead.

Great job Ronda, Kevin, Sydney and Ethan, happy harvesting🤞🙏👍😎

Great team work

Great video Rhonda. Love watching your videos. Farming was my first love before i got side tracked into trucking 36 yrs ago Love to watch the daily work and dedication you guys have running a Dairy Farm. You guys live out your Faith everyday and the love in your family is uplifting in the world we live in today. Your light shines brightly. Love your videos keep upbthe good work.

Down south, Texas we crunchy burned up.Wells dried stagnant. Wish y'all the best.🙏

Hi Ronda and Kevin and awesome brothers love how they all work together and thanks for explaining corn 🌽 Ronda and as always you all be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

That is a good hot feed. Good for the TMR.

Your children work very hard. They feel their responsibility or they work because of the love of their parents.❤❤❤❤❤

Uhr seid ein gutes Team 👍 Gruß von Rudi aus Germany

Its amazing how fast the rusty moving parts become chrome like in a short time. Yiu wouldn't think of corn as being abrasive but it also wears parts out.

I guess it takes a little more to put the NH head on the John Deere, I thought the corn looked wet too, but it had a fairly good dent to it, thanks for sharing this, you folks are so good about explaining the procedures you have to go through, thanks for sharing this

we love harvest time :)

Like putting a corn stalk in a blender only on a giant scale.

Ethan is Thinking, 🤔 if it Don’t Fit, Use your Boot. 😬👍🙏

Tell the boys we thank them for being so patient with you. I mean, you have the camera right in their work, and they are so calm. 😏 PS: I believe they enjoy it.👍 Nice corn crop. ❤️🇨🇦

Thank you for this Rhonda and Kevin y'all be careful out there. As Mark Wahlberg once said, slow is steady steady is fast.

I love the smell of 80/90 in the morning .

Thank you Ronda for showing us how you check out your Earlage machine. I would imagine that your cows are sure happy to eat the feed made from this corn. The deer likely love eating corn from your field as well. I recall last year or so that you had to replace some tractor tires because of antler punctures. Thank you for your channel.

usually you check the moisture percentage, before you start picking

That was some up close camera action!

I hope no one gets virus 19 after your son sneeze all over the place but nice the corn chopper works good have a nice day

I did mine with hell 600 chopper and two row snapper head and out in 20x60 harvestor silo. Good feed till last 10 ft and then two much fodder, only did it for four years switched to shelled corn and got 10lbs more per cow

It might be a pain in the butt to change over but what it does in the fields makes up for it. 👍

I was always off a row when I cultivated and it's not a pretty site once I got to turn around and look 😮 At the Mess that was going on and it's hard to back up the Tractor when you're in the middle of the Field with the cultivator without destroying Any more crops 😢.....

After watching the guys struggle with those bolt at the beginning of the video i was shouting at the screen ,Rhonda ! buy those guys a 3/8 battery ratchet set for Christmas and a can of never sieze .lol.

I just can’t believe that your kids don’t fight. My mother just before she passed away what would you do about your brothers.I laugh and told her I’ll never see my oldest unless I go see him,and my youngest I just put up a fence up and act like Wilson on Tool Time. And you know that’s what happened.

❤❤❤❤❤

Hate to see the break downs but love to watch when you fix and repair it. Also, the running commentary on how and why on what you are doing. Don't comment much but these always will get a comment out me besides the like.

Never seen that before, I thought there was only silage… the whole stalk going in

Could you tell us more on your Self propelled forage harvest and the cutter head your using, please

👋😊

.... the parts that were taken off the chopper and then others bolted on, were those replacement parts or part of the changeover to the earlage head .... what does the dented corn mean, at a lose for what they are called, the yellow things that we'd be eating if it were in front of us on the table .... going to have a few extra busy days coming up for all on the farm .... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....

Do you go back through and chop the stalk for either green feed or fodder bales?

I let out a big sneeze like that one time and my coworker said it was epic. I guess he had never heard a sneeze that thorough. definitely cleared out sinuses. isn't that what a sneeze is for? you just have to not get any on you or anyone else and it's all good.

Thank you for your video. Small question: why clean, grease and oil the head just before harvest starts and not after the harvest and store it dry. You have enough space 😉. Would prolong the life of the head and its parts I think. And less risk of troubles. Greetings form the Netherlands.

Corn silage in calif

Seams strange to do earlier before corn silage?

Do you do any corn silage ? Never seen that done before Hmm

What is the process of fielding whole ears of corn than grinding it up?

Im curious why you take earlage ( so green) , rather than whole plant silage? Then earlage later when it drier , or does eatlage need to be fairly green?

Hi Rhonda how you doing ?

What would Kevin do without those boys?!

What is the moisture on that? Is it black layered?

A little early to chop. But when buying expensive grains, it is better to chop it piece by piece.

Hello happy farmers. Why is it people don't oil Bolts and other working parts. It makes life a lot easier. Oil and grease are the best macanics.
