Good job Jim and family! Looks like you guys do an amazing job at feeding all of us. I work in the beef industry and we all rely on each other. Keep up the good work

1:48 We now live in a world where you have to check for drones before you take a leak....

Great video! Thanks for sharing this useful information

I can't even imagine how big of a extruder they use to make sheeting that wide. The folding frame they use must be enormous.

Very cool to watch. Deserves way more likes!

Woow, what a load of corn silage! Interesting from 0:38 onwards and 5:12 the use of a so-called prestaging fan to remove air from beneath the plastic. Also interesting at 1:20 that ends of plastic are bonded together by using a spray adhesive!

Great Video, what an epic application of this epic tune. 5 stars.

Amazing, the scale of the whole operation.

How many dang cows do y’all have? That’s a proverbial mountain.

Absolutely amazing! I would never have envisioned such an activity - anywhere!

Nice! I guess you are not doing this in a windy day :)

Great a lot going on!!! Interesting how people make AND cover in 🇮🇪 cover from back to front with sheets

What is silage? Im not a farm person. And what are you doing with it?

[rickdekard]

How long will that one pile of silage last the farm?

[robhardingham]

Good team work and a good crew are what you need to cover a clamp properly- plus little or no wind and calm day :)

Are tires making good work? I'm asking becouse this yr is my first try covering sillage by tires. We did mostly the same oxidation barier, then plastic but we additionaly add net (old adversitment banners) to make it harder for crows, dogs, sotorks etc get in. And we are wondering, is tires making as good job as earth cover was doing in only plastic and net.

Holy stress man! I’ve done that on a smaller scale, ! One chance

[clutchitup]

Aliens watching are like holy shit these guys are good

[runsliketurtle]

That would be quite the slip and slide before the tires are put on

[jamesonnadgwick]

I've covered bales and bunks and piles and stuff but this is insane pronaly 4 times the size of them o can't imagine putting tires on this and stuff
