Mowing, Merging & Chopping First Cutting Alfalfa at Warren Dairy

Join me for 35 minutes of nonstop first cutting alfalfa harvest action at Warren Dairy in Indiana! In this video Silver Ag Customs handles the mowing and merging while Sunset Farms brings in the forage harvesters to chop the crop and haul it back to the dairy. Silver Ag Customs is mowing down the alfalfa with their Fendt 930 and Fendt 828 tractors both equipped with Claas Triple Mowers. After the crop dries, they merge it into windrows using a John Deere 8220 with an Oxbo 2334 merger and a John Deere 8260R with an Oxbo 2340 merger. Once the windrows are ready, Sunset Farms takes over with two Claas Jaguar 980 self propelled forage harvesters equipped with Claas 380 pickup heads. The chopped alfalfa is hauled back to the farm and packed onto the silage pile by a John Deere 9630 and John Deere 9520, both fitted with Grouser silage blades. This video features drone footage, on-the-ground action, close-up harvesting shots, and some beautiful evening scenes from the field during the first cutting alfalfa harvest season in Indiana.
