    That's fantastic! It's clear your family's farm has thrived through generations of hard work. Growing farms, expanding silos - that's a testament to your dedication and innovation. Subcontracting some tasks out is a smart move too, freeing you both up to focus on the bigger picture. And as for the future outlook, well, that sounds like it's in good hands. Eric, you are the internal optimist. You always see the silo half full.

Cutting, spreading and rowing ( for the lack of know proper terminology), this very educational stuff you are putting out for us farmer ignorant. Keep up the great content, kiddo. Love harvest time.

    Truck driver here: We were always taught to let the engine idle for 3-4 minutes before shutting it down to let all the internal parts reach the same temperature as well as to let the turbo wind down while still being lubricated by the engine oil. Shouldn't be any need to open the hood, but I'm sure that doesn't hurt anything.

    8:40 'I open up the hood to get the heat to escape better' - The 7220 has a 6.8L diesel, and you should let that idle for a period after running and it cools the internal better than anything. (I would just run it lightly while returning and parking in the garage would do the same thing). Once you shut the engine off it can't get any hotter as there is no friction or fuel burning so raising the hood may speed the cooling but nothing else. If you had to quickly turn off the engine in an emergency after working it hard you would want to open the hood, do anything you could to cool the engine as it would be very hot inside and that heat needs to dissipate.

    Very interesting activities! The silo unloader install and first use was great. The work of the harvester crew is always interesting. They operate very efficiently. Interesting the careful drying of the triticale in the lower portion of the silo and how that is beneficial and the disadvantages of being too dry, also. Filling a silo seems to take less labor than the bunkers in that people don't have to put down tarp nor pack it down by driving tractors on it. It also takes up far less acreage.

    About the pronouncation: It is an artificial Latin word, built from Triticum (wheat and the female part) and Secale (rhy, the male part). English speaking people usually pronounce latin words english, which is common, but most probably wrong. But I think, the way you say it, is correct. Unfortunately, we can not ask a Roman these days.

    Great work Eric! I really enjoyed this one. You put a lot of work into combining several days of video. Glad the new silo has worked out so well!

    From Michigan here...been watching your videos off and on and think you do a superb job filming. Going into enough detail but stopping before it gets boring. Beings I have worked on a number of similar sized dairy farms and done much of the same things you are doing, I haven't been a regular viewer or subscriber. However with your recent changes and building upright silos (which I think is phenomenal as you are bucking the trend of going almost exclusively to bunkers and realizing and maximizing the pros of the upright silo) as well as looking forward to the robot feeding system, you have more than earned my sub and I will be watching with baited breath along with everyone else.👍😄
