Corn Harvesting - After Dark

Who said all farm work goes on in daylight? I take a ride on the combine as we harvest our corn. This particular field was our highest yielding location of the year.

That's one of the 2 jobs I look forward too all year. That and running my old 5 bottom plow

If I ever moved out of Iowa...one of the first things I would miss would be the fall harvest- the sights, the smells, the endless miles of corn ripe for hunting geese/ducks/pheasants in November who go on a feeding binge eating all the waste corn that the combines seem to miss. One field we hunt is often littered with full ears of popular field with the critters!

love the videos i cant get enough of them

Maybe two weeks. Next Sunday I may post a harvesting soybeans video, then follow up the next week with part 2. It depends how busy I am if I have the time to devote to putting the videos together.

Nice video. To me, farming is a true test of wits. Like any career, it has some pitfalls, but hard work, good planning, common sense, uncommon sense, and a bit of luck can really make a good living. And you are your own boss. There is no blaming anyone else if you fail.

We need a setup like that on our farm you were using at the end to store wheat seed as we’ve got some storage bins that have to have the seed blown up it by air and we can’t find anyone around here that can do it

[stanleyeller]

Great video I have always wanted to harvest corn like that good job!

[jaydenferris]

We are farmers in Oklahoma sure doesn't look like that here well we can't stay up at dark like you guys always can it gets damp real quick here especially wheat but you guys don't do wheat up there yeah we get some good bushels nice video

[Rdrake]

300 bushels thats great. Love the video

[jaketeske]

Do u guys have a grain cart or just those gravity boxes?

[zeusmacafee]

So was that high moisture corn. I would think so since u are putting it into the harveststore.

[delosturner]

I have seen some equipment that does silage bailing. Is that an option for silage feed?

[waterskiingfool]

Is that the same combine you guys still have

[lukestrawwalker]

Ok... 2.2 mph at 1330 rpm on the threshing cylinder... I thought it looked like you were going pretty slow... makes sense though.

Good video and good job! OL J R :)

[christopherfischer-labasti]

Hey Ryan to you guys also harvest corn silage too?

[jasonprocai]

It looks like you're running a poly 6 row corn head in this video and in the current videos you are running an older all metal style? Was this your grandpa's head and combine? And if so why didn't you guys buy it at the sale?

[acrousonelos]

do you have to fold the ladder on the combine? i wont be doing corn with my 9400 this year, but i will next
do you run the combine, personally? i started at 12

[rubenmartinez]

Combine settings for 300 bpa?? I have a 9760 sts harvesting corn 250-300 bpa but it has a lot of grain losses back!! I am Ruben from México, hope you can help me

[CanadienFrancais]

Why do you put your corn in a harvestore ?

[sstroh]

never heard of anybody using a silo to store grain corn before, interesting idea though i guess i cant really think of any reason why it wouldnt work other then trying to dry it is probably difficult
