We did a little chopping of some rye, pretty good amount of material there. Our neighbor Jon came to do the chopping and we hauled. It started off good, first load up the silo no problem, second load not so good. Plugged.... Climb to the top of silo and get it unplugged.... Start again..... Plugged..... Climb to top of silo and get it unplugged.... Start again.... Plugged! Well after trying to climb the chute the next time to unplug it and when the door dropped out from under my foot and I didn't hear it hit the ground for a few seconds so I backed out. Jon and his brother Jere saved the day and the bagger came to our place. And we filled up about 100feet. And we finished as you can see as the sun was going down. All turned out well and it will make good feed. You won't meet anybody who works harder than Jon and Jere and it was great to work with them and I learned a few things. And when I say hard workers I mean they only did chores, raked hay, raked and baled something like 200 stalk bales, chopped our 20 acres of rye, and got the bagger to our house and set up at the drop of a hat including instruction all on Monday.
