western iowa,by Denison | geez-we use to pick piles of earcorn-best year was over 150,000 bushel,myself,hired neighbor and wife-filled over 48 cribs-start pickin at 35% to grind earcorn wet to fill silo-then on to narrow cribs -then fill the round behlens-to end of harvest on a pile to grind thru winter
your value is wrong on cobs-hence my rapid progression to earlage-about a $100 value per acre-best advice -buy yourself a 3970 pulltype forage harvester with a 2 row cornhead and make earlage-be around a $10,000 investment-drive over pile and a tarp-100acresx$100 is your payback
Being a small time operator with a 4row uni-I was always amazed that i harvested over 5,000 bushel of ear corn a day-one day we picked 10,000 bushels-neighbor had a axil flow combine and we seemed to get more acres every day
i like the 12 row earlage -normal to get over 100 acres a day of top feed-and you could interseed the next day about 35 days before dry corn | |
