November 2, 2009 - Fall is here and so is chopping season! Grandpa is driving the tractor with the chopper. Max is driving the tractor that is unloading the box, and Rod is directing speed and where to dump. We pile our silage and cover it with a tarp to keep the air out while it ferments. Normally we would have been chopping by the end of September, but this year the corn wasn't dry enough to start until a couple of weeks ago and then it started raining! We were fortunate to have had a couple of dry days to get most of it done before it got too muddy. We finished yesterday........ in time for deer hunting!
