THE KINGSTON ENTERPRISE SECOND SECTION JULY 28, 1967 SECOND SECTION

Consider Time in Corn Harvest Lansing – When planning a corn harvesting system, dairyman must consider the number of hours a day thy can spend in the field. Robert White, extension agricultural engineer, reminds dairyman that six hours a day is about the most time between "chores" they can spend in the harvesting corn of corn silage. Of course, if they have one person that spend full time harvesting and not be involved with the milking chores this can speed up the corn harvest. After the corn is planted is the time dairymen should start thinking about his harvesting system and making plans to get it done in time. White says some rules-of-thumb- will help the dairyman-corn grower determine his needs. A one-row picker will handle a 50-acre corn crop working six hours a day, or a 75-acre crop working eight hours a day. For a slightly higher investment a two-row picker will cut harvest time almost in half. White said a two-row picker sheller or two-row combine will handle about 1.5 acres an hour if corn yields are averaging around 100 bushels an acre. From an economical standpoint, shelling usually becomes practical when the farmer has about 7,000 bushels to harvest. Likewise a four-row or six-row combine usually becomes practical with about 20,000 bushels to harvest. High moisture corn can be harvested as ear corn and ground as it is placed in storage. It may also be ground as it is harvested in the field with a picker-grinder or a combine equipped to harvest and grind both corn and cob. Michigan growers are advised not to plan longer than a four-week harvest period after operations begin. In some years the season is longer but on the average this is about the amount of good weather available for corn harvest in southern Michigan.
