It was a perfect day here in MN for picking corn, 75 and mostly sunny. It has been a great fall so far, warm and dry. I
took the day off from my regular job to get my little bit of corn harvest done. I picked 3 1/2 flare boxes full of some
of the nicest cob corn I have ever seen. We had good moisture all during the growing season here. The cobs were higher
than the tractor tire on the stalks. Big heavy cobs too. The stalks themselves were at least a foot above the top of
the tractor muffler . The corn was a little drier than ideal for my old picker so it didn't husk as well as it should ,
and it was butt shelling more than I like too , but oh well, for my purpose its fine. Funny , I used to hate unloading
wagons when I was a kid ( it was always my job ) and now I love it ! Satisfying work. My little crib is full and I
still have leftover in the wagons. Great day, no flats or mechanical trouble. I was using my 53 Super H and a IH 1PR
one row picker. Just thought some guys might enjoy the pics.
