But, I had to do it as I was the older son - I don’t remember my brother eagerly offering, but I’m sure he also did it at times - and my dad didn’t seem to want to make the climb to put up and later take down the filler pipe.Taking the easy drive out to the Farm Store is the best way to experience a true connection to us, your farmer. Fear of climbingĪn upright silo demands at some point that they must be climbed. I was deathly afraid of climbing the 36-foot-tall poured concrete silo while growing up on the Oncken farm in Dane county. In the late 1950’s and 1960’s the blue, glass lined, airtight, steel Harvestore appeared on the scene and literally changed the silage and hay-making scene. Not only did the company sell the blue, distinctive, airtight Harvestores, they sold the story of making quality hay by cutting early and storing properly. I’ve often written that the Harvestore (although expensive) was the major factor in moving farmers to cut hay in early June (rather than late June or July as was customary) thus providing far more nutritious forage (haylage).

Then came bigger rectangular holes called trench silos, followed by the short, upright structures made of wooden boards fitted together (staves) or concrete and field stone.

True, many dairy farmers (especially older farmers who had small herds) remember cow’s names and their individual habits and idiosyncrasies.ĭairy barns are a second home for those who work with the animal care routines that are repeated so often that many farmers know more about the barn than the house in which they live. But, cows come and go depending on their milk and reproduction records.Ī very few are remembered for decades via their production, show records and photos.
