welcome to the September video for life
of a farmer
0:14
September on our farm mainly consisted
of four trappist
0:17
for Jarvis is the harvest different
crops for the purposes feeding our
0:21
cattle throughout the winter
0:29
before we can get started harvesting we
must first prepare our machines
0:33
here you can see Nathan sharpening the
knives are four terms
0:37
these knives are what chops up the corn
into little pieces for the cattle team
0:41
must sharpen these nice often said they
don't get so
0:47
other perforation job includes creasing
blowing out air filters
0:51
fueling up changing oil and checking
tire pressure
0:54
once everything is ready to go
1:00
all we have to do is wait for the court
to strike down we wait to the kernels on
1:05
the corner heart and the leaves are
starting to turn brown
1:08
we always joke that are for charter
service hungry before harvest starts
1:17
my white shark teeth you
1:21
to begin harvest we make what is called
it down growth
1:24
the middle of the field
1:28
then we blow the chops corn into the
trucks to haul to the trade
1:36
sometimes we so what is called a dump
wagon
1:38
when the trucks are keeping up you can
see here the dump wagon
1:42
dumping into the truck
1:57
the trucks take the load a silage from
the field to the farm
2:00
and dump it into what is called a trance
silo
2:30
one slowed us down we will push it up
onto the pot with this tractor and dozer
2:41
pilings silage and packing it down the
track
2:43
allows it to inside I'll which will
preserve it throughout the winter for
3:11
forge harvesting is one of the most
enjoyable job from afar
3:14
the whole family gets involved we have a
lot of fun working
3:18
one of the ways we have fun is by
talking to each other on our radios
3:30
and of course singing the flag show
3:37
passing each other in the field and on
the road is also fun
3:40
because we will waive make faces and
hardcore porn
3:54
you never know what exactly is going to
come out at the corn when you're cutting
4:16
another forge crop we grow for feed is
called
4:19
cordial this can be planted after
harvesting wheat
4:23
giving us to crops for the year instead
of one this field
4:28
for sorghum is the same field that we
saw planted at the individual
4:31
video harvesting for sorghum is the
exact same process as harvesting corn
4:37
but it was done at the end of September
instead at the beginning once the
4:47
harvest is over we take a little time
4:48
have fun on the pilot silage that we
created
5:15
for Jarvis is a very important I'm on
our farm
5:19
defeat we harvest in September must last
through the winter and the rest of the
5:23
you'll see this is a common theme in
these videos
5:26
what you do in one month will affect you
for many months to come
5:30
you can be exciting as well as stressful
but hey
5:33
that is just the life of a farmer
