Garrett County, MD
For your questions.

-We have 5 guys. total including me.

-I would like to be able to harvest 15,000 bu per day.

-Avg 15-20 miles one way. We have 4 semis and a man at our elevator dedicated to unload trucks, so the drivers just jump seats.

-People keep talking about 12 row head. I have never been around one but I'm honestly not sure if that would work here with the rolling ground. We would need some sort of auto field tracker for the lateral tilt or we would be into the ears a lot.

- No way we could run a truck in the field. Also with our hills a 1000 bushel grain cart would be pushing it. You would need a monster tractor to keep from winding up over the hill.

Thanks for the input.
