I saw quite a lot of different corn harvesting equipment in my time (1942-1958). First thing I remember was a McCormick-Deering 1 row ground drive binder that cut the corn and bundled it which was then shocked in the field or sent to the McCormick-Deering ensilage cutter at the silo. The shocked corn dried a week or three in the field and then was hauled to the barn where it was run through a Rosenthal 40 Husker-shredder, the ear corn going to a crib for storage and eventual feed use for all the animals and the fodder into a mow in the barn to be used for feed and bedding for the milk cows. In a few years a new McCormick-Deering 2 row PTO binder was used just as the previous 1 row binder had been, but it was a definate improvement. A few years of that line of equipment and it was all traded for a new Gehl Field Forage Chopper to chop corn or haylage and Blower to fill the silos with and a No. 24 McCormick 2 row mounted picker to harvest the ear corn with. After 4-5 years of using this picker on the '50 Farmall H, a used No. 2ME 2 row picker was bought and used on the Super MTA. I still like to see any of this old style equipment in use...even though there was quite a lot of manual labor used too to run it and get the corn harvested. The combining operation now used is pretty simple and doesn't use nearly as much labor

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
