West Central Wisconsin | Same goes for "cutting beans". I just can't get myself to say that. Most everyone around this area, (west central Wisconsin), says combine beans and corn. It's a regional thing I'm sure and maybe it has to do with whether or not you were a cash/grain farmer or a livestock farmer in which your grain was used for feed. There are a few farmers who still pick and crib ear corn around here. We were grinding ear corn for the high moisture sealed silo as late as the early 90's, talk about slow! We bought a sheller unit for our New Idea pull type picker and used that a couple of years. Boy, we thought that was the way to go then. We bought our combine in the mid 90's and still put up high moisture shelled corn for the dairy cows and have also put up a few bins as we transition more to cash/grain. Joe. | |
