Gary,Guys,, My F-I-L for a good bit of his adult life had his crops Custom Harvested. Irrigated and Dry ground Wheat, and Irrigated Corn/Milo. His thought was this better to have your entire season of crop harvested in a hand full of days, than to get strung out for a protracted amount of days, have the crop fall/lodge or loose grain quality to extended wet periods. Like the Milo harvest of 1971/72 (in the TX/OK Panhandles) when it got wet up in the fall, and stayed wet. Farmers were harvesting @ Midnight to 3:00am (only time the ground was froze hard enough to support the combines) Milo harvest finely finished up up in late Fed to mid March! Anyway his thought back then was the cost of ownership/ repairs of a combine were about equal to the cost of Custom Harvest and Less mental stress getting it knocked out in short order, OBTW... My F-I-L's Custom Harvester has the place next to his so getting him it get his crop knocked out was not a real problem! Later, John A.
