Some Amish like to tease the English, note that they can come and harvest in a few inches of snow, split the harvest with the standing corn field planter. Harvest on the ear, put it in crib with ventilation, it'll be dry enough come spring. One row picker horse pulled or a power sulky and team of horses to pull with a later 2 row, some 50 to 100 bushel wagons with a couple other teams to pull- and in worst case just turn the cows out to pick it themselves on warmer winter days. BTO doesn't have ear corn crib available, no fence to keep the cows in field- and combines don't ski as well as don't swim. Mennonite and Amish over some years have gotten some gleaning out of field many places for 1/2 harvest, kept a few cows from the locker for another year for some English. Some of the Dakota Mennonites that use engines, etc. have some modified cambines for winter harvest- smaller Gleaners with doubled drive wheels, fat rear tires, some kind of jacking points on frame and head set for 8 to 12 inches above ground with skis and GoKart wheels instead of simple skids at 4 inches. Not 6 and 8 row heads, 3 and 4 rows or in couple case old IHC 303(?) with a 2 row, some old UNIs for seed corn that would pick as ear corn for later feed corn harvest. Couple rigs with track conversions featured Wallace Farmer(?) or Hoards a few years back picking through some snow banks. Amish default of let the critters pick might happen yet- lots of wild turkeys and some deer WON'T get shot, might come through rough winter fairly good with field leftovers and have good spring hatch and fawning. always next year.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
