I’m not a farmer Mike but I sure do enjoy the way you bring all the various farming operations to us. Thanks for all you do & I look forward to your next vlog.
i understand that this farmer wants to be anonymous, but I hope you thank them and all the other sfor letting us to see this operation!!! Very interesting!!!
Thanks for another great video! I used to farm in the lower MS Delta. Corn has replaced a lot of cotton here but never seen seed corn grown. Fun to see it being picked. Why don't they just shell in the field in a regular combine? Is there too much damage to seed kernels? A visit to seed corn processor and how seed is handled would be a good video. Beautiful fields also. Has much of that land been leveled?
Another great video, thanks! Looks can be deceiving, but it would appear that the moisture is less than desirable, at least for the seed corn companies I’m familiar with. They usually want to pick the corn “wet” and control the drying themselves.
Thanks for another great video Mike!! Always enjoy watching your farming videos and interesting ag videos like this one that most people aren't familiar with. Keep up the good work!!
mfreund15448 I live next door from Ploeger, the other half of the Ploeger-Oxbo Group (located in the Netherlands) and man, you could spend a month in their halls looking at all that’s being developed. My favorite are the pea harvesters, so much detail! I actually prefer the OG Ploeger colors though I’ve no idea what the American obsession with that construction yellow is tbh.
I would second the thought on a video inside the processing plant. Also, I would think that the harvest in the ear allows the complete gentle shelling and elimination of foreign matter such as leaves and cobs to be easier on a fixed location. Additionally, aren't the cobs used for feed products?
Weird how the rim design keeps the husks in them, build up and slide. I have never seen that happen before. Dose it wear the paint off? Nice to see the seed corn being picked.
Doug Cultra It’ll definitely wear the paint. I think you can see evidence of that already happening at the end of the video. It looks to me like there’s a darker “band” inside the left front rim, like the paint is being worn through to the base metal.
The flatness of land in farming country takes my breath away. I have lived in Alaska all my life and the lack of mountains is strange. Almost like being on the ocean I would guess.

I'm a retired farmer and really had no grasp as to how seed corn was grown. Amazing video, Mike. Thanks!
Very interesting my first experience seeing seed corn harvest !!!

Thank you for sharing your amazing story, I got some more new information today. God bless you and your family
Thanks for the great video mike. I actually was just talking to someone about how they pick seed corn. I am no expert but this was nice to know.
I enjoy learning about how to farm, thanks for the videos.
Another great video, thanks!

I’m guessing you ate at Yoders in Arthur. Great Amish cooking!
That was a damn fine pour into the hauling bin. I'm impressed.
I love seeing OxBo equipment in the field!!
There is a lot of seed corn near me. One early job was detasseling seed corn.

Fascinating stuff, impressive machines and fantastic explanation/voice over. Awesome video
Great video, Never seen it harvested like this before. Thanks for Sharing.
Great video Mike keep them coming 👍🏻
No link in description but good video

Beats the heck out of our New Idea 701 picker we had
Derek Adams 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing!!!!!
Thanks Mike. Wonder if that oxbo will pick sweet corn?
The that you were talking about were built in Villa Grove by Paul's machine and welding they are s modern flow equipment
So if you had 1 acre of seed corn like in the vid how many acres of corn seeds would be produced? Great video 👍👍
Awesome video as always
Why are they using such small trailers to haul the corn from the field?
I've never seen seed corn harvested, always thought they used modified combine.

Nice vid 👍
Looks like a sweet corn picker
