moisture was around 16.9-17.4% When I got into my wetter corn, there were less problems.
everything is peachy keen!
I had a lot of drought damaged corn. I still beat the national average, but the fields were spotty. I hit 303 bpa corn in teh same field where I got 1 bpa corn.
everything averaged out nice. Im glad im done! that is all I can say. I had major stress over this crop as the land owner I leased from has teh property for sale I was worried about what would happen if I didn't get teh corn off before the land sold. just being done feels great.
I did make a big mistake, though...
My 70 year old father was getting stiff and sore running grain carts with side augers, not corner augers. I put him at teh helm of the combine and he never once did a spot check. he ran down fifty acres without a single notice to performance. he has no clue how combines work.
while waiting on him for a fill, I walked out and kicked over some chaff and saw a bunch of ears with tons of kernels left on them. I know the moisture was about 3% higher on that part, so I told him to increase cylinder speed, check his work, and continue. needless to say he had no idea what I was talking about, so he just kept running. I have no idea how many bushels I left out there, but I'd say it was over a 1000. That's like leaving $7000 in cash to blow in teh breeze and scatter over the farm. YOY! I'm mildly depressed over that.
otherwise, I'm thankful for all the help, and now I know a JD combine very well. I put everything into research and learning and it will benefit me now that I have teh experience. I can't thank you enough.

What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you.
