We never picked corn until early November when I was a kid, because we stored ear corn and it needed to dry in the field instead of burning a bunch of propane to get it dried. Batch driers came into use about the time I left home for the service, so we didn't shell corn until we needed it for feed. Then had a 1000 bu. steel bin we would fill until we needed to shell more. Picked a whole lot more corn when I needed to stay warm than to get cool. Now with combines they need to harvest when it's still high moisture and burn up a bunch of propane or natural gas to dry it or it will crack too many kernals (or so I've heard). Doesn't always seem like progress to me, but I suppose over all it is more efficient.
The way the weather patterns have changed, maybe November in northern Iowa is to warm.
