My brother cut some corn out of the corner of our 1st planted field for shocks and I saw it once it was in the drive way. In the corners it's a good 8'-9' tall, and most stalks had 2 cobs almost as big around as my forearm and almost as long too. The stalks were atleast 1 1/4" in diameter at the base.
Once you go inward in the field, I can tell you it's atleast 12' in spots, if not taller. Can't imagine how big those cobs are.
It's gonna be atleast 3 weeks before we start to chop as it's not even dented yet, but it's looking good. Even with the 75-80 MPH winds we had on Friday. It knocked some down, and our worst looking field (7'-8' tall and maybe 3 acres) got almost flattened. I just got our silo blower put back together today (replaced 2 bearings and straightened it out after taking a hit by the shaker pan from my brothers loader tractor, which forced the side tin into the blower fan).
My next project will be to fix the green chopper so we can pick up with that what the corn head won't get.
