Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

2 minutes of real time unloading corn into the silo!#farmer #tractor #farming #farmlife #agriculture

The silo is full enough. SilverFarms' most-watched new upload follows the last load going into it for the year, with a family-history detail tucked into the machinery: the host's grandfather and his two brothers built it in 1970.

The seventh-generation Wisconsin dairy farmer keeps the process straightforward. He positions the wagon, starts the John Deere's PTO, slides the swing hopper beneath the chute and lets the corn flow. Then he climbs the silo's exterior ladder to show the grain level from above. Back on the ground, there is still a chute to close and equipment to put away. Real time includes the tidying up.

The comments turn that ordinary job into a conversation across farms and generations. Viewers recall lining up wagons on their grandparents' farms, trade experiences of plugged augers and ask whether the corn will be ground or fed whole. Others specifically welcome the longer look at a process they rarely see.

There were two new uploads, the other a sponsored Pioneer corn video. Across the channel, the week brought about two million views and a growing subscriber audience, although today's viewing is running at less than half its usual daily level. Family Farm Life and Samson's Whitetail Mountain also had substantial viewing weeks among nearby outdoors and farming channels.

October's fieldwork remains especially active. "Why we make circles in our corn fields! #johndeere #tractor #farm #farmer #farming" is currently drawing the most daily views, followed by the real-time corn-silage unloading video. In the new silo upload, the host points to the next job: starting dry corn and filling the bins.

What viewers say

That kind of reminds me of grandpa's farm 40 years ago. A 3020 hooked up to the auger into a bin about half the height of the silo. The auger didn't have the swing section though you had to line up the wagon with the end usually pulled with one of the two Olivers he had.

It's actually quite interesting to see. It's this that most people don't even think about. Props to you showing the process.

Do you grind the corn or feed it as wholecorn ? That is some nice looking corn.

It is possible to plug augers (we did). Just make sure the auger is completely empty before shutting off.
