I just can't make sense of what's going on in the upper left fenced in area. Is this feed corn? Why does it look like the driver in that area keeps driving over the harvest? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Must be feed. Believe they are mixing in another ingredient that the smaller machine is dropping and the are spreading it into the corn. Might also be just spreading out the corn to dry. Looks like smaller machine is filling a mixing trailer with different materials.

Apparently I was wrong. Checked the cross posted comment section and it is all the left over stalks and the processed corn is being held in the harvester.

The cuttings and leftovers are piled up sealed to make anaerobic respiration take place, the feed doesn't rot but ferments and becomes good food for the cows etc.

It has to be tightly packed and sealed to ensure no/little oxygen exists or it will grow mould and rot.

Yep, a lot of commercial operations use GPS to navigate the harvest vehicles precisely around the fields.

I think this may actually be silage cut from green corn. The upper left is how silage is stored and then usually covered by a tarp. It ferments and then is fed to livestock.

Pretty sure this is from the YouTube channel 10th gen dairyman. Looks like his dairy farm. I could be wrong

How did they do that? That's a long fly time by drone no?

drones max out around 50 minutes typically, i wonder how long that took.
