NEIL | I remember unloading ear corn when I was a kid at home. Pulled the loads in with an M and ran the elevator with a F20. Had to leave the F20 idling because I wasn't strong enough to crank start it. Still is one of my favorite memories of growing up on the farm. Later, when I milked dairy cows I still picked ear corn because of storage considerations, and I always maintained that the cob enhanced rumen health and contributed to a higher butterfat content in our milk.
That being said.....I would love to see how big the pile of corn would be if you did 500 acres of 200 bu. corn. You'd have to rent a larger conveyer from a gravel pit.....and upgrade to at least a F30 to run it | |
