Hi guys,
I just got done combining our corn in central Mn. All I can say is wow. I am proud to say that with out a shadow of a doubt that all of my old equipment has never seen well over 200 bushel per acre corn. From the planter to the combine. I even picked a couple corn cribs with my New Idea picker because I ran out of corn storage. Man that was fun picking 30 inch rows with a 38 inch picker at a plant population of 36,000. Slow but it worked. I only had my dad and his group of old timer friends to get it all done. They are all old farmers and enjoy the work. What a great fall. I just have to attempt to plow. That is not going to be fun with 12 foot high stalks. Thanks for answering all my questions over the years. I started with absolutely nothing and with your help and my family's help, we are a small and growing farm. God bless all of you.
 
I can sometimes hit 200 bu per ac, but not at 36,000....that's putting some seed in the ground. my ground will only take about 28to 32,000 tops or I am wasting seed... good luck to you!!
 
Actually 36,000 was a slight mistake. I was shooting for about 33,000. I don't have a monitor on my old planter and my seed count in the drive way wasn't the greatest. With the weather we had the mistake probably worked out to my advantage. I guess luck.
 
Disk or chop before plowing? Wait till spring after the weather has caused the stalks to go down? Some options here...

Didn't grow corn here but lots of corn all around. Fields ethr look very good or not so good. Think difference has to do with planting dates. Early or late?
 
Good deal and sometimes luck is better than brains on the seeding population. :)

Yea, really just starting corn here, but scratching my head, I can't make a round, maybe only 2/3 to 3/4 of a round, with my 6 row M3. There were times just so it didnt make a round by a few feet in the past, but not like this. And this is corn on corn planted late into stalks the cows grazed all winter, I am not expecting this field to be the best.....

Not sure where they go with all the corn this year, crazy much out there.

Beans were too.

Go out and walk the corn you picked with the NI Tell us what percent you think is lying out there. Now if you have pay der and pheasant hunters, all is good.
