Thanks for the drone shots. Those are some real nice pictures.

Good job on the video! The truck drivers and cutter operator did a good job of getting the silage in the truck.

Went by there twice on sat. going to and coming home from a tractor ride. David keep the grounds around the buildings very neat. Quite a few good dairies around there. Thanks for posting it.

Those are two nice dairy farms. I hauled feed to them both. Herricks drive can be fun when it is icy going up to the commodity shed. Then the Brueggen Farm has a real tight turn when the bunkers are full. Both are nice families.

I would have liked to see St. Mary's fifty or a hundred years ago. It is a shame to see such a great building as the school and then the church have so few to use it.

Just north of Brueggens I got the crap scarred out of me. I was coming back from delivering a load to Norwalk and was heading home. It was 11PM and darker than heck. Right around that curve to the north of Bruegeens there where Amish all over the road in the dark. Not a single light on any of the buggies and the people walking did not have anything reflective on either. The man up stairs is the only one that knows how I got stopped before hitting any of them.

Also Thanks for posting the link to the great drone work. I enjoy seeing the equipment work.

JD - I grew up in the Cashton area and went to school with some Brueggens and Herricks so I too am familiar with the area but moved away many moons ago.

Certainly. My sister and her family own and operate the Mlsna East Town Dairy. Familiar with that one?

Great Video ! The only time I was involved with making silage, the 'chopper' was run by a JD 80, and I drove a 1947 Studebaker silage truck (with 27,000 mi. on it - bottom end rattled like a machine gun when loaded) and packed with a JD - A. 1972. Ate REAL well, the place was a registered Bull farm. Anarchist Mtn. B.C.

Great Video!
Only real experience I had with silage or haylage was "choking" the blower to Harvestores back in the 70's!

Nice video, thank you for sharing.
Boy, I could watch those self-propelled choppers for hours. It never ceases to amaze me how massive the work is they're doing. Literally processing entire forests of corn into a tiny stream of silage. A beautiful corn field is left as a bare patch in a matter of hours. Just amazing!
I know the cows like 'em too! That fermented stuff is pretty sweet.
