ECIL | Harvest that is
It's a free country and I'm sure someone considers me a BTO out there. But stateline to stateline, that's taking it a little far.
They showed up a few weeks ago to harvest last years corn with 6 combines in the early April mud. Looks like they buried every machine all over this farm, ruining who knows how much tile, but they got er done Saturday. If I had a field right next to any of these, I'd be ticked. It's hard to know how the old tile systems in the area might be affected now. I was able to watch some of the drama last week planting about a mile from there.
There was a post about this a few weeks ago, and most did not believe there was still corn standing in Illinois.
Corn planting pretty much finished up around here the same day this bunch finished harvesting. This area is probably 90% planted on corn.
I did learn that even slow, a draper head will salvage a lot of corn. I mean real slow. Buyer beware, any draper coming out of CI ag or central Illinois should be inspected for corn, cause these things have been abused. Maybe it does not hurt them. Just never seen it done
