THis dairy has indeed lot of equipment. Its owners must have invested lot of money.

[Eminem15cal]

Lol read this comment below

[topcatcully]

Hi i noticed that your cows have had the tails removed, whats the reason for this and at what stage in the animals life do you do this?

[darkninetailedfox]

now those are some nice allis chalmers

[Tiarnanmc13]

how much does a farm like that cost

[kevinwolfe7522]

@Tiarnanmc13 cow $1,500 dollars a piece parlor $100,000 to well over a million equipment 100's of 1,000s of dollars same with the land

[gillamfarms]

@Tiarnanmc13 At least a million unless you're born into it or marry into it

[cricket962]

this is the old parlor here - we now milk in a double 20

[mahafakir]

What are yoy trying to prove? Are you trying to impress the farmers to buy the quality grains from you. They will continue too buy 5% to 10% sweet feed.

[kiwicowcocky]

imagine if they invented a cow that could harvest grass herself then you wouldnt have such ridiculous costs.

[dfholton]

You guys run like we do, with equipment that the bank doesnt own haha. I like the orange paint

[tfraud]

I used to live in Carlisle, were you anywhere near there?

[PSUPhoenix]

Near Lock Haven, PA

[sophie4616]

@PSUPhoenix Thanks for the information, this is a great video, how can I get in closer to these action?

[6450854]

I like all the orange equipment it really makes the video. Too bad AGCO is doing away with the orange.

[redlinefarms]

I am a big Allis Chalmers/Agco fan, glad to see all your equipment!

I am not an animal rights wacko, but pleased to see that you take good care of the cows that take good care of you. Great video, and a great job of dairy production.

[DFarms001]

A Deutz 24 row planter?????? Never seen one!

Great video! I imagine all of their equipment is paid for.

[baker4030]

man thats a nice farm we only have 38 milkin its as much as it holds and im fine with that cuz im 16 and i do almost all of it

[2381067]

I want the job at 2:02

[buhadur]

great job

[bf3pwner]

say that they sell the milk for 1 dollar a gallon make 16200 dollars a day with all the cows

600 cows x1 dollar a gallon x9gallons a milk x 3times a day

[ngsutter29]

A high producing dairy cow makes a total of 9 gallons a day (3 gallons x 3x/day).

Your $1 per gallon is a good guess. Right now, our farm is getting paid about $0.94 per gallon ($11.00 per hundred pounds on our check) in SW Wisconsin.

The cost of running those tractors and hiring labor throughout the year are below breakeven wholesale milk prices currently.

[bf3pwner]

Yeah I know I was off but if you make say a certain amount of cows you could easily break into the profits and be rich but its not just like a snap you need barns land help etc--

[razor56p]

2.12 packing to rid silage of air for fermentation

[farmmo4ever]

[HillbillyMachinist]

[benman431]

[andyurena1]

[ACD19farmboy]

I am glad to see Allis-Chalmers tractors in use at a big farm because most have converted to John Deere

[942119]

dang, that klaas harvester is fast!

[killthemonkey4evr]

how much profit do you make a day??? seems like a really well thought buisness.

[wingman2011]

i love the excessive use of Allis Chalmers equipment! Bravo!

[redbullracingktm]

[BlindRevolution]

What's your guys SCC run for the month?

[shippey08]

Cool vidoe. Cool to see you have a few ACs.  I live in PA too, but can't say know where your at. I help sometime on my Pap's dairy. 30 cow stachion.

[dueltruck700]

hey bro , i work in a dairy like this one. ibring the cows up for milking , clean out pens and remove shit, then bring cows back... repeat 3 times.

[fischer2011]

wow.. you ahve alot of machinery! looks like a really nice farm! The palor looks great to! thanks for sharing.. sweet vid

[bretto96]

i milk 750 cows in new zealand in a 60 rotary by myself.cows are fed grass in the paddock and we dont milk in winter.calve all cows in 6 weeks in spring.busy.very low cost compared to your sysem but very good returns

[fr1ghtnit3]

the parlour looks way to small for the amount of cows, but anyway gd insight into how americans farm and the sheer scale of what they do.

[patzmarketing]

Great video of the whole process. The only part that you missed was the feeding of a healthy TMR (Total Mixed Ration).

[lawnmower1393]

nice farm but too big for me i can handle 70 cows just fine

[jdfrmboy]

nice vid hope to see more

[benofca]

Thanks for the eduction. My son and I enjoyed seeing the process.

[fastrac]

this will never compare to an outdoor grass based system for cow comfort.there is no way you can store the amount of effluent you produce without polluting ground water

[MF6465]

this is so so different from the u.k...

[feueramwillen45]

This Video is great =]
