When done properly, that epoxy system for anchoring the silo is very strong. It yields tremendous "kip" ratings. I've used it many times over the years for various projects. The concrete you are anchoring into will break out and shatter before the rods and epoxy. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲

Should have wrapped those bales individually; they have to be heating a great deal already. Experts say for best results baleage should be wrapped within maximum 4 hrs after baling.

when we did these bale clamps we made compartments of about 30? bales. wrapped in plastic. Ifv u have one big compartment as u do en u start feeding air goes in the clamp bij the sides.

This is something we did talk about. We'll likely feed these out over the winter at a high feed rate to move through the stacks quickly.

It will be interesting to see how those bales turn out. Individual or tube line wrapping might be better but more expensive. They really need wrapping straight away too. Farm is looking super tidy as always👍

We've tube line wrapped rounds in the past, that has its problems also. If we decide to continue to make baleage in the future we'll likely look for an individual wrapper.

There was a couple dairyman in my area that did that with all their haylage. Square baled it and stuffed it in their bunker silos covered it with plastic. did it that way for years until they were big enough to justify their own SP harvester.

Hey Piet great video. With the moisture content already in the bails and with all that rain on them is that not too much moisture? I was wondering about them rotting.

looks very tight with the new water tank, generator, condensers, 2 more tanks all crowded in that small space. No doubt that was the best option but - it's still tight.

We placed the new tank on the same spot as the original tank was, so nothing really changed as far as space. It's the same diameter, just 4x the height.

Great video. Love watching your videos. Keep it up. Are you guys gonna bale the next cutting too? Or, did you just dodge it because of moisture content in material?

Thank you! We will likely bale the next cutting also, we're baling instead of chopping because we don't have concrete space to make a pile.

Interesting sorghum mix never seen it before like this. Would a tedder work for drying? your letting it regrow can you get a couple of harvests in a year? Nice Farm

Ай бұрын
A tender would probably help it dry, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it for us. That's something to consider in the future if we continue to grow this crop. The plan was to harvest 3 times, but with a wet cold spring it pushed 1st cut back. We'll harvest this again in September.

Surely an inch of rain on your haylage bales, before you managed to seal them, will cause some real deterioration.

I don't have a lot of experience with sorghum, but we harvested about 1200 acres a few years ago. 2 days was about what it needed, we typically have good drying conditions. I milk on occasion, but it doesn't happen very often. We're fortunate to have a good team working with us, most of our guys have been with us 10+ years.

A little more time spent editing and you’d get a lot more views. Now it gets tedious watching a silo being placed 😂
