Subject: RE: BINGO - Managing Residue / Stalks . . . . . Chopping Heads


West of Mpls MN about 50 miles on Hwy 12
Let's see, shell about half the cob onto the ground before it gets close to entering the feeder house or replace a tire every four or five years...I'll buy a tire or two before I'll ever put the old snapping rolls in my corn head.

Now lets talk about how those old rolls handle down corn...and weeds.

If you want a real long, shaggy looking job of picking just slow the corn head way down. Shelling become a none issue also. You will have more trash going through the combine.

FWIW, I absolutely love no tilling behind my chopping corn head.

edit too add...rtk or any kind of guidance on the planter is for wimps. :)
