Tim: I don't know whether I count or not as I will not be planting or harvesting any corn this year. I guess we can assume cob corn is harvested for the most part for on farm feeding. 27 years ago I put my first combine type 2 row corn head on a New Holland 890 forage harvester and equiped it with recutter screens for coarse in field grinding. Within 3 years I was using combine and running cylinder up in 1,000 rpm range, twice the normal rpm for corn and running concave at about 5/8 ". This will break cob and put it all in grain tank. The material then went to the 890 being used as a stationary grinder and was still stored as high moisture grain. Two main reasons for adding combine were; wind adversly affected material flow from forage harvester to wagon, and secondly 6 row combine was feeding 1066 tractor and 890 instead of 2 rows. Your idea is from the past, let it die. I have a bit of a story for you. I love sauerkraut. I decided to make some . I found a slicer, so decided to make several 5 gal pails. I would sell the excess at competive rates. People raved about what a great job I did on my first try at making sauerkraut. They would be expecting more next year. Only one problem, Tim, I only made 50 cents per hour for my time. I leave this with you.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
