  • Corn Harvest 2022 has started
    In this video I am out in the field with Brier Farms from Attica Indiana as they are getting started with the 2022 corn harvest. In this video you will see the farms John Deere S680 combine with a 24 row Calmer model 2415 corn head and running in the field is their Deere 9630T tractor pulling a Brent 1282 grain cart on tracks. The corn was testing 28-30% moisture.

    Great footage as always Mike. Calmer makes some great products for farmers. You can get their kits for stock corn heads without the maintenance and hp loss of a chopping head. Really chews up the stalks for breakdown and gain combine performance with less stalk intake increasing speed and cleaning. Thanks mike!

    If I were them, I'd keep combining. Warm weather and dry fields. A little extra dryer gas is way better than fighting mud and rainy weather. No dryer gas shortage in September.

    Is there a significant advantage with the 15 inch rows? I guess for corn silage it would be maybe but strictly for grain? I know they know what they are doing, I'm just trying to figure out what kind of advantage it is. Great video as always Mike.

  • @lfeco
    @lfeco 2 года назад

    As green as some of that corn looks I would have guessed it was 35-40% moisture. Back when I was in the grain business I had a couple farmers who just had to try their corn when it was very wet and of course they would always bring this to my elevator. It was nearly impossible to make good dry corn out of this ground up junk so I would sell it wet to a cattle feedlot in my area.

      Gave him a fair deal on it but if you didn't discount them pretty heavy then more farmers would bring in really wet stuff too.

      This is field corn, so more for syrup, corn chips, livestock feed, or most probably ethanol for fuel. Sweet corn is harvested whole. Search for sweet corn harvest video to see the difference.

      It depends on their farming practices. With 30" rows though, it's easier to interseed cover crops and have them receive enough sunlight to grow successfully.
