and I would suspect based upon your description that multiple 1000's of acres are farmed by that individual
to run 4500 acres through one machine of a group
what is the harvest interval for an operation like that?

I hustle to get 120 acres a day through one machine with one auger cart and one guy hauling away...
12 row corn head, 40 foot draper...

my goal is to plant the acres dedicated to the crop in 5 days
and to harvest the acres dedicated to the crop in 12....

I have to hustle to make it work. Most times miss the mark but it is the goal.

I am fortunate to have seasonal help for planting and harvest.... otherwise it is just me
