Big thanks to all our help! Over 350 acres mowed and chopped in 4 days. Estimating around 2000 tons of really nice feed. Should make lots of milk over the next year.

This is by no means a slam against our local Sheriff’s Office but rather a message to elected officials! Today we had a truck filled with soybeans heading into town to market at the Coshocton Grain Company. We were pulled over on Second Street because the truck “looked full”. We cooperated and pulled onto the new county portable scales which we were informed cost $60,000 and we would have to pay for damages if there were any as we pulled onto the scales. The officer did his job as he was trained to do and we were overweight. The deputy didn’t write a ticket as he said this was an educational period but would eventually become enforced. We like to fill trucks so we don’t have to take extra loads which burn more fuel, tires, and most importantly time. We are proud to buy our seed, fertilizer, chemicals, tires, fuel, equipment, parts, feed, and much more locally. We also are thrilled to market our crops to places like Coshocton Grain Company, Three Rivers Energy and Ge**er & Sons. We are frustrated that we are now forced to become more inefficient with loads or spend hundreds of thousands to upgrade our truck fleet that we use for 30-60 days of the year, just so we can both be efficient and “legal”. We always have felt like the county Sheriff’s Office has been on our side but after today it’s hard to feel that way. Elected officials made this problem and they can make it go away. Agriculture is Coshocton County’s #1 industry!!!! Let’s spend tax dollars somewhere else! God bless America and the Farmers who feed it!

For over the past 1000 days our cows have been milked by robots. Starting this week they will all be fed by robots too! The lely vector system will scan different areas of the feed bunk to see how much feed each pen has and when each area gets below a certain height in Millimeters it will go back and make a batch for that group of cows. Currently the mixing and feeding robots are just pushing feed like our Juno did and scanning feed too but they will start mixing and delivering feed later this week. There are many benefits to this feed system but one of the biggest is being able to scan and deliver feed when needed. One robot scanned just before 5am today and both cow sides were out of feed. Most likely because of all the extra moisture in the silage from the rain yesterday that messed the dry matter up. No cows were up and eating until we dumped feed and then almost all cows got up to eat. The goal with the vector is to dump feed multiple times a day and keep cows eating and milking all throughout the night. There are many videos on YouTube explaining how the system works if you want to learn more.

For Sale
We have an extra bunk of haylage that we don’t think we need and would like to sell. Figuring around 100 ton asking 55$/ton. Not looking to sell a lot but if someone wanted corn silage mixed in we could make a ration with our mixer and dump it out. End product would look like our heifer ration (pictured)very easy to move with a bucket. Cs will also be 55$/ton. Would make good beef or dairy feed. Forage analysis attached. Delivery may be available depending on load size and distance. Also checking to see if there would be any interest in corn silage next year. Feel like we have the room to chop and store more if we had people that would like to feed some through the winter. If interested or have questions call Kyle at 740-610-3899

We just finished our second full year in our new dairy facility. Happy cows make lots of milk! We are on pace to produce over 3x as much milk as we did in our old facility with less than double the cows and the same labor. We also hit a goal of having a cow make 200 lbs/ day (23gal/day).We have set our goals for the year and have ideas/plans to help reach them. If this year goes as planned a big goal for 2024 will be to produce 1,000,000 gal(8,600,000 lbs) of milk!
