Silo filling time is right around the corner. We have not had cows on this farm in a while and therefore we have not filled in a while. Used to be able to find somebody that needed a hand but those guys are gone now. The point is I always found this a fairly enjoyable activity and miss it (when things are going right). My best memories were when I was a kid. Did not have any responsibility to help and my parents were very safety minded to not let me too close. I thought the smell of fresh corn silage was the best thing there was. The noises of the equipment were music (now I reach for the hearing protection aids). The old IH cut and throw chopper could be heard for miles so you could tell where dad was working. I had fun climbing up on the IH forage wagon when it was full (they had factory ladders) and playing. I would not be up there more than a minute or two before dad would come looking for me and have me stand with an adult before the action started. Dad's temperment was pretty good as I don't remember a really wet fall, the corn was to his satisfaction, and the equipment generally ran without a problem. Anybody got any stories to share?
