Harvesting Corn in the Mud Before the Rain

[@johnking8679]

Hey Zack, I'm totally "blown away" by the tool chests you guys have !! You guys have got it ALL !! Every tool you could possibly need !! You must have thousands of dollars invested, just in tools alone !! I guess that's part of your cost of doing business ? I'm more than impressed, my friend. Just love following you, your Dad, Jim, Becky and, of course, your kids ! Oh, add your dogs, too !! Keep your GREAT sense of humour !!

[@markwheeler202]

The scale of the corn harvesting process these days would have been unimaginable to me as a little kid in the late fifties. My grandpa had a one-row tow-behind corn picker that he used to harvest. My dad was just starting out on his own small farm, and I remember helping pick corn by hand. My dad converted an old hay wagon for corn harvesting, with a bangboard in the middle. He'd park it in the field and then pick the ears off with a special handheld husking tool and bounce them off the bangboard from however far he could toss them, then move down the field a bit and repeat. The ears would then be shoveled into our corn crib, which was maybe 12' long and 4' wide. He only did that for a couple years, then switched to soybeans after our neighbor bought an Allis Chalmers combine, which he let us use. My dad also put up hay for the cows, using an old horse mower and a dump rake. He would throw the hay piles by pitch fork onto the hay wagon. The hay would be put up loose in the barn by hay fork. Hard to fathom how this could have occurred in my lifetime.

Me too :) I do have one question being that I was raised on a farm. I am curious why you would harvest acreage which did not have such a good yield normally and not get your best yield first if there were issues of bad weather coming and possible lose of part of the crop. I am sure there is a perfect explanation, just thought I would ask.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Sunny W - on my land areas to be harvested first has to do with not tracking weed seed, fungus or other diseases to areas not yet infected. a combine is a sure fire way to move these undesirables from one acre to another.

the only other options are to pull the trucks through the mud (that would make a mess of the road), or if you had a gravity waggon and auger you could fill the trucks from the field and eliminate the mud, but that would cost a lot of time.
