We finally wrapped up all of the first crop hay of 2022. Now it's time to handle the sorghum-sudangrass. We have tried planting it before, but the crop never amounted to anything. That is definitely not the case this year. Alan's plan is to chop it and put it in our smaller silo. The 820 John Deere Tractor and New Holland 489 Haybine really had their work cut out for them as there were times you couldn't even see it from the tractor. After a couple days of drying, the sorghum was ready to chop. While lifting up the silo unloader, the tripod pulley broke, so with help from our neighbor, Caleb, and Alan's brother, Paul, they quickly took apart and removed the Van Dale Silo Unloader. The Gehl Long Box Blower was attached to the Silo, and the Case 830 was revving up to run it. The International 1256 and New Holland 790 Chopper started out chopping. The Farmall 560 was used for pulling wagons. In 2 days it was all done, but there is still a little more room in the silo, so Alan is going to chop some second crop hay to fill it all the way up. Once the silo is full, Alan can replace the tripod and pulley.
