Subject: How to set corn head-high ears

One of they hybrids I have this year is setting ears REALLY REALLY high. The plants are close to 11ft tall-and some ears are set 5-6ft!

Since I am no-till I really don't want to run the header that high and leave 3-4 ft of stalks-would be a mess to plant next year-plus would probably leave some lower ears. I guess the think to do is just run the header pretty fast and drive a little slower? I am a little concerned with butt shelling running the header too fast.

I only planted about 50 acres of this particular number.

Any advice?
