I give your son a lot of credit for doing a "man's job" running the stalk chopper. He has a much better set-up than I had on dad's farm. I graduated H S in 1963, and we had a Farmall M and a WD-45 Allis for tractors. I pulled a Case 2-row chopper with the M and it made it talk going up a hill in 3rd gear. I felt lucky to be surrounded by a Heat Houser that threw enough heat back to the seat. I learned a lot about farming from dad and think about him often. The experience was wonderful!

Thanks Mike, and thanks for sharing. My son is my shadow, and he’s been running tractors and equipment for years. The farm is a great place to grow up, and an even better place to raise my kids.

This has always been the case. The children learn early to later take over the farm. This is what has kept agriculture going for many centuries.

We try to shoot for 23% or less. It depends on the forecast for the days after we crib it. If it will be breezy and dry, we can get away with 25% without it molding. If it’s going to be damp and cool, then we make sure it’s 23% or less.

You need to collect the stalks and ferment them properly into fertilizers. If you leave them in the field, you're give off too much to the air. It's not neccessary.

I have in the past and it worked good, but it’s tricky because our weather is usually cold and snow or mud when we are picking corn. The year I did this video was a 1 in 10 year exception where we had beautiful dry weather. I usually chop some old hay for bedding. We always have extra hay.

@bradleydairyfarm7985

A corn picker is much cheaper than a combine. Plus we don’t have the cost of drying the corn that we would if we combined it. We pick it around 23% moisture and it air dries in the cribs. When we grind it and mix it with soymeal for grain, the cob adds some fiber which helps buffer the rumens.
