Pictures from this years corn field

Corn crop was pretty good here this years. I am six foot tall, so how tall is the corn I am standing in front of? Only took 16 acres to fill the space in my pit that should take24 to fill. We are going to get a bagged in , and chop the eight acres I have left of silage corn, and use some grain corn to finish out the bag. I will try to post some photos of this operation when it happens. This job wi all be done by custom workers. Bruce

I shelled corn like that in 1998. Tall as the cab roof on the combine, dadburn tassels looked liked big spiders hitting the windshield

Looks familiar Bruce. I don't know what I'm gonna do with all this stuff. I've chopped 22 acres and barely opened up the other two nine acre fields. It's getting tough to push anymore in the bunker. I've always been able to get all those acres in. At best I might be able to get the one nine acre field in if I put enough round bales out in front of the bunker walls. This is just ridiculous. I'm looking straight out the side windows of the 2-135 White at the ears. It's like driving through a pine forest.

Nice crop and pics.

I guess you nailed why you guys up there grow tall stalk corn and down here we grow short stalk corn. Not much silage needed here as compared to you guys getting "wintered in" up there so our stalks are like 4-5' tall.

Down here the name of the game is to minimize the loss, aka stalks and leaves....takes fertilizer to grow and gets in the way after the harvest. After combining, the stalks are usually rolled into hay bales and usually sold. Good market in a dry year but this year hay is everywhere so they might just brush hog them and fold them back into the soil for humus.

It's obvious that the seed is genetic as each stalks is the same height, each has 2 ears, and they are in the same place on the stalk.....looks like solders lined up for a parade.

On genetic engineering and agriculture, I think it's great and helps us to feed ourselves with all the pressures ag. has these days. I don't know why there are so many boo birds out there. Maybe one day when their plate is empty they might change their minds.
