Back in the mid 60's we started 'picking and shelling' the remaining corn that wouldn't fit in the ear corn crib instead of piling ear corn on the ground. A neighbor came with his big to us 45 Deere combine with a two row 40" corn head that he squeezed 38" rows into. We hauled the corn to town seven miles one way with a Deere A and two 150 bushel barge wagons. A round trip took an hour and a half if there was no line at the elevator. We did that until the early 70's. I froze my butt off too many times on that tractor making trips to town in late November but in retrospect it brings back good memories of simpler times.
Today a twelve row head on a combine that is conceivably capable of 5000 bushels per hour (I've never seen it happen) runs those same acres. It's hauled to town with nice warm and comfortable semis 1000 bushels at a time. A round trip takes a half hour if there is no line at the elevator.
