Just did it this year, 6 rows, 200 bu corn for 1/8 mile. Saw a faint yellow path when I turned around at the opposite end and wondered what the heck had happened. I had just got mad after dumping for a few seconds in a gravity wagon which had the door slightly ajar, although I had specificially asked that the door be checked/closed since we were moving at a pretty good clip. It was a two wagon hitch and the first wagon was OK. I was filling the second wagon from the opposite side and didn't see that the door was slightly cracked open until five-six bushels were on the ground. Shut the door and stomped around for awhile knowing it was going to be a lot of work cleaning that mess up, since I would scrape the ground. Always throw the villainous corn either into the back of the combine thru the sieves or just into the combine throat. Was so engrossed/mad about the extra work created, that I unfortunately forgot to disengage the unloader. Always check to see how the tank is filling since last year's experience, but this time I was too distracted to do a thorough job. Did check to make sure that corn was going in, but not again to see the accumulation. Decided to fume and fuss the half-round instead, and paid dearly for my negligence. Didn't attempt to clean it up, the deer received an early Thanksgiving. Last year after setting the combine and continuing on the first round, a bolt came out of the rock trap and let the door fly open. Although the corn was pretty poor on the ouside rows near the timber line, I still didn't understand why so little corn was being delivered to the tank. Pondered the issue trying to decide what possibly could be wrong rather than stopping which was a bad mistake. At the first sharp corner I backed up slightly and saw the yellow path in the middle of the combine. It took three of us five hours to pick up the 250 linear yards of corn, and then run it thru the combine.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. 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
