  • Harvest comes to an end! It is our last day of picking corn! We start off the video by finding a place to put our grain after the cribs are full! We load into two larger gravity wagons in order to finish harvesting! We are picking corn with a New Idea Corn Picker Mounted to a 686 International Tractor! We haul loads down the hill with the 1650 Oliver! In this video we also have some drone footage! Take in the gorgeous fall view the Midwest has to offer! Thank you for watching, enjoy the video!

    In '62 I bought an old IH two-row, cut 8" down the middle, make it a 32" picker, used it for years. Had the big model E Moline sheller, sold DeKalb seed, corn was my main business. Did a lot of custom shelling, We're in central MN, 90 and retired.

We have 150 registered Herefords, 200 acres of corn and 100 acres of hay ground. Use a JD 300 pull type picker here. Keep doing what you're doing.

I talk Korean and he talks English... I tutor him in everything he wants to learn... he's very keen on everything, the season of what vegetables need picking, also what all needs to be done to the land...

    Great videos . I enjoy the mounted picker and the drone shots are wonderful . I ran a 319 with husker for 20 years mounted on a JD 3020 , eventually adding the sheller . I hadn’t realized that there were so many mounted pickers still in use until checking out You Tube entries . Ground ear corn is still the best cattle feed .

    WOW! I remember doing this back in the day. My dad seldom let me get on the picker. My job was getting the corn into the crib . . . which was some different than you had. We used a barn with a concrete floor. Once the corn built up to the elevator, I would be stuck in the barn with a fork to keep the corn moved back into the corners and edges. In that tin roofed barn midafternoon temperatures would approach 120 degrees inside the barn. Picking corn became one of my favorite seasons on the farm. To feed to the cows we would crush the corn, cobbs, shucks and all and the old cows loved it.

    Great idea to store the excess corn in those boxes. It looks plenty dry to do that, noticed quite a bit of shelling. It should make it nice when you start to grind feed for the cows as well. I can remember making sno fence cribs when i had extra, but, you could not go more than two rings high at best, but, it was a cheap way of piling up some extra corn.

    Just found your channel and love your content. Mounted pickers are really loud and dirty depending on the wind direction/field. We went to a pull type corn picker and my job was to unload into corn cribs etc. my daughters used to help after school. Not every day that you can pick corn without jackets in October in Wisconsin. We had dairy farm in southeast Wisconsin. Still the best way to raise kids and yes there was always a dog. Where in Wisconsin are you located?

    I like your way of harvesting corn but how do you keep the vermin out of the corn whether from air or ground. You do a top job with your youtube channel thus now subscribed.

      @@GierokFarms You could pick up a few silage boxes cheap and cut the tops off to fit your picker and you could unload without shoveling and fighting the gravity beds. They could also be used to feed silage or green chop in a bunk like a TMR wagon in off season or chopped into as extras. Gravity boxes are handy too for storing extra feed and what not.

    Is that an Owatonna elevator? We had an Owatonna and was very noisy until oiled or worked hard for a day or two. That screeching sound was pretty bad. We also ran a two-row picker on a IH 706 just to fill the cribs.
