Oh James! I’m always touched by the hardships others are facing! And I pray that you can definitely find peace and know that God is with you and cares! I’m glad my videos make it better for you!

Your little guy (sorry I don't know his name) is working so hard to chop those stalks! He does not give up either! Also, my Pawpaw did silage some with Milo, and he placed old asphalt shingles on the ground in the Texas summer, and got them to stick, with a rubber bit, this kept the ground contamination down, and helped with the seal to get good cook on his silage.

I was wondering if y'all where gonna eat any of them ears. I was saying to myself well maybe they planted that corn just for the animals. Lol glad u cleared that up. Nice score with the chipper. I haven't seen it in any vids but I also haven't been watching every upload not cus I choose to but cus of time an life lol. You know what I'm saying tho. I love the homestead life. We use to have a homestead but stuff happened an we lost it an at that time in my life I was only worried about drugs a women so I didn't save the house, I had the chance but blew it. Wish I knew what I know now about life lol. Killer vid guys y'all rock.

I was trying to tell you to start packing that pile but you couldn’t hear me over the chipper noise so I sent the guineas to tell you😂. Way back when I was a young lad working at a local dairy, we would mix low production corn with high production corn because the low production is till a filler, you just may have to use additional supplements along and along. Take care Micah and have a blessed rest of the week my friend.
