Corn harvest 2019.....one which we would rather forget. Late getting planted, cold wet spring and hot dry summer. Once we did get some rain, some corn plants restarted resulting in very high moisture, but we did pick up a bit more yield on there plants. Moisture levels on corn I harvested ranged from 22 percent t to a whopping 34.6 percent, with over half coming off as grade 3 corn. Most guys are in the same boat, a few have stopped harvest to hopefully let the corn dry down a bit more. The wet corn is even starting to smell a bit like off silage and may soon mould in the field. Soft fields and snow that remains between the rows, soft kernels easily damaged in harvesting were a few of our challenges. On the bright side, the yield was not too bad....farm average will be close to 140 bushels per acre, with the top yield in the plot coming in at 180. No breakdowns and no injuries, we do have much to be thankful for.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
