Hi,

I added several new pages to my website with pictures of the following implements: IHC No. 7 Haymower, IH No. 27V(?) Hay Mower, IHC 2-row planter, IHC 1-row cultivator, IHC "keystone Pony" corn sheller. See link below. Enjoy!

With kind regards,

Tony

Nice website! I noticed in your pics of the little genius plow that you're using hex bolts and nuts. Not to nitpick but if you have a Fastenal store near you they can get you square head stuff in almost any size. That way your restoration is more authentic. I have three plows myself that are on the list to do.

Hey, PurdueAg,Greefieldfarms in Ohio has open pollinated seed corn. I'm going to try it this year.They have 4 or 5 different types. About 40 dollars a bushel. Excellent web site. It's 4 in the morning watching it snow haven't been in a snow storm since i left the farm in Mn. back in the mid 70's. Living in northcentral IL. now. Kind of fun, got the corn stove going and the fire place nothing like free heat.Looks like about 4 inches and 25 degrees out.

NICE WEBSITE!! Especially liked the little "C" you restored, wow, what a basket case. I had hoped the cultivator was an IH tractor cultivator. Friend of mine has a home-made cultivator on his unrestored C..and it works slick...I've got an IH cultivator, but will have to "adapt" it to make it work for me on my Cub. P.S. Lots of organic farmers here in Oregon in the Willamette valley. Your corn yield seemed a bit low? Fertilizer, perhaps? If you're doing it organic, it will take a couple /three years to get up to speed..organic fertilizer is slower than the hot stuff! Good luck, you've got a nice place there ! Jim B.

Thanks Jim. Yes, the "C" was truly a basket case. I hope to get back to work on it this winter. I was placed on the back-burner so I could get my plow fixed up. I also need to get the planter working.

Yes, my corn was a bit chlorotic this year. It was the first year the land had been tilled in decades. Low in Nitrogen. I also had some weed problems which resulted in poor pollination. I want to get my chickens started this spring, so I can use that guano, in part, to enrich the soil. I know it's hot, though, as organic fertilizers go, so I'll have to be careful.

With kind regards,

Tony

looking at your webite, you save some seed for next year...where did you get the seed you started out with? much of the corn today is a hybrid, meaning that if you buy a bag of corn, and plant it, you will not end up with the same genetic background that you started out with...it would take some selection during the growing season, and after harvest to select the best ears if you were looking to develop your own population...

Good point. I got my seed at TSC. Some of the corn I planted from that stock must have been pollinated by foreign corn, as some ears have red stripes in the kernels, reminiscent of "indian" corn. I had made a naive assumption that the seed I purchased was not hybrid (and I know better, as I used to corn-detassel as a kid!). I took the best ears out of my crop for next year's seed. I now plan to see if they will germinate before I go and plant it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Tony

Purdue Ag:

Didn't you take Dr. Schwitzer's Crop Production class at Purdue? As I recall he spent a class or two discussing hybridation and how planting the corn from a hyrbid produced seed would result in HORRIBLE yields.

Good luck with your epxeriment, but I'd suggest you look into getting some open pollinated corn for the 2007 crop.

Jim,

No, I never took crop courses at Purdue. I was in the Forestry Department (school of Ag). It's likely that the seed I purchased was hybrid. The seed was sold as bird feed. The idea of it being potentially hybrid never crossed my mind (absent-minded sometimes). Most of the plants that did not have their tassels damaged by insects or were not crowded by my thistle weed problem produced beautiful ears (see photo on website). However, I think I will take your suggestion and find some open pollinated corn seed and be more certain. I think I will also plant the seed I saved from this year and see how it compares.

Thanks for the advice.

With kind regards,

Tony (FNR (Ph.D.) '97)

correction: The SILKS were damaged by insects not the TASSELS.

I would almost guarantee that it is a hybrid conventional (non-GMO-BT, RR, or CRW) corn. the red strips are not true indicators of outcrossing as you suggest. There are alot of genetic backgrounds that express this in the grain. Many Pioneer hybrids fall into this camp, but there are alot of other brands that do the same, no big issues unless you are in the specialty white corn market...alot of proscessors will dock on the red streaks. the streaks are also an indicator of insect damage...i can't think at the moment what it is, but when they feed, they do so with a puncturing type of mouth parts; the red streaks are places where they punctured the kernal.

you are aware that most corn is treated w/ a fungicide and or insecticide...this will make a substancial difference in your emergence in field situations...FYI you could send it off to a lab for germ testing if you were so inclined, i think a normal warm & cold germ will run about $10-20/sample.

You can get open pollinated seed from the Albert Lea seed co.

What brand of paint products are you using on the C tractor?

Looking at yours is kind of inspriring me to finish the one in our barn.
