Three 132' Silos Complete & Answering Common Questions

The drone shots in the beginning really show how huge these new silos are, compared to your old setup. Really enjoyed your explanations as to why you did things the way you did. I don’t think most people realize how much work, and planning goes into running a farm. Always enjoy your videos.

I really respect the way you address comment section experts. No pushback, no defensiveness. "I know other people are doing it this way and it's working really well for them, but we've considered our situation and our needs and we're comfortable with the choice we made."

I am most impressed with your thought process on this expansion.

Thanks Eric. Really interesting to hear some of the thoughts behind your decisions. I look forward to seeing the robot feeders and how that works. Good luck.

Your farm now has "Tallest Silos in the Area" bragging rights! :)

Those silos look so good in your drone shots, I think Sollenberger should put a nice hi-res photo of them on their website! Thanks for all the great info, looking forward to hearing your thoughts in a few years when everything has been up and running for a while.

Intro music made me think I'd opened the wrong video but it actually really worked for the really nice drone shots and showing just how much bigger the new silos are compared to everything close by

You have one of the most impressive dairy farms on you tube, I am truly impressed with your ability to manage your operation. Many blessings to you and your family.

This feeder system is really interesting. Come winter I assume keeping the paths plowed will be important. Cheers all. 🇨🇦

It doesn’t matter what the Monday morning wanna bees think. Your farm is impressive for its size. It works for future. Keep it rolling my friend you have a beautiful operation in a beautiful area. Nice job!!!!

Hi Eric. If you are familiar with Tom Pemberton, over in the UK. He put up a roof on his outdoor double bunk, just recently. In his case, he raised the outer walls, to get more silage in and the extra height makes it easy for his machinery to get in/out. It came out really nice, I say this because of your hope to get the bunks there covered. Just as a reference point. I agree, the opening drone shots were amazing. Those silo's are the tallest standing structures for miles. And the view from up there is unmatched. I've heard it said, that "The best laid plans, are JUST best laid plans." Be prepared for any scenario, "just in case." I'm sure the farm will be ready to go.

Very interesting, i can't wait to see all of this come together. Eric you and your family have the best dairy farm you tube chanel. You explain everything to such detail. Thank you for taking your time to make these videos for us to watch. I grew up milking cows and boy have things changed over the year's. Thanks again !!

Sollenberger really is a fantastic builder, and great people to work with.

Eric those silos look like landmarks. Very impressive. What is also super impressive is your vision and knowledge of your farm. Thank you for taking the time to give us this educational video. The silos seem to be a better and more economical way to go. Really looking forward to seeing the robotic feeding system working. I really was curious about the cost of the silos but would have never asked such a personal question. Thank you for sharing that. Thanks again till the next one.

I don’t know much about silos but it looks 👀 like the men in your family are very blessed to have them. That’s very Righteous! 💚

I am pumped for this project! Can't wait to see the robot system get built! I enjoy when you give us some details on how you arrive at these decisions. I am curious how it all works out over time. Everything you have described so far sounds like it would be a huge improvement if it can be implemented as described. Its easy to have sticker shock because of big numbers... but when you pencil it out over 10 years and you factor in labor/time savings, improved feed quality and all the other variables... those numbers can make way more sense all of a sudden. Thanks for taking us along, Eric!

You’ve put lots of thought into your decision for what you believe works best for you. You’re not driven by what looks the best, & over building to impress others. Your thoughtful management will keep you in business for generations to come. Wishing you & your family well.

Running beef cattle sounds like the most reasonable idea. Yes not having enough feed but also ur able to make extra profit feeding out beef cattle

Really looking forward to following this the next few years to see how this all works out! You all did your research for sure before deciding to move forward with it!

Lots of options,,,, beef cattle I like ,,,, you got all you need.i like your thoughts… 🇺🇸🇨🇱
