Not Good

[Agri King]

Left the shop tonite just to the west the smoke was rolling. Neibors 2388 cleaning fan drive pulley was rubbing causing a grinder affect. Bone dry here, lit the field up. 20mph winds. Lucky for everyone his tractors and tillage equipment were out, tractors dualed and fueled. I bet the 2390 I hooked the chisel plow to has not worked that hard in a few years, in this rock hard ground. No equipment loss just some $8 corn.

Will the burned corn be harvestable, never seen a corn field burn before?

 

[Agri King]

Moline guy, Yes, I would think you could combine it. But I bet there will be more head loss, you can already see some cobs on the ground.

glad no one was hurt and not too much loss, brought me back to a few weeks ago when we had the grass fire here, glad too see the flames there were much lower but still very hot I am sure and dangerous cnt

 

[Agri King]

Yea cnt, Not the fire like you posted. I can't believe a paper dry corn field with wind just wouldn't be a blaze?

 

[870blackknight]

Yea we could see that fire we were just below the hill combing are corn

 

[Kow Farmer]

That had to be a very scary sight! Glad no one was hurt, other than the farmer's pride I'm sure. I like the Case fire fighting equipment.

Know some people last year, sold burnt corn to an ethanol plant for little loss. Worth checking into.

Job well done,no one got hurt,but it looks like a "2394"

 

[Ande]

Oh,I see your "2390" now,no fun when these fires happen

Have never seen anything like that before. Feel bad for the farmer. Don
