Hey IG, You need to get a demo also from the only true yellow combine people, New Holland. Think you would be impressed. Hope you are doing fine, have not had time to talk to you in a while. Good to see you post on here. Your crops sound about the same as ours down here. Had about an inch or so of rain today. ps Don't let the John Deere dealer talk you into trading combine because the JD will have great resale value when you want to trade again. That is all they ever say to me. Not that there combine is better, just better resale. Ilnh

Got my corn out this past week.Course I only got 44A spread over 6 fields.Average was 123.Best was 144(8 1_2A),worst was 110(14A).I'm 6mi south of RT16 in light dirt so I don't know where corn came from with no real rain all summer.Full of corn borer.17-19 moisture planted April 18,22and23.(in my spare time)Beans are just now ready(before this rain)but look pretty good.Were still good and green when got that 1.8 last month.That made a big difference.44A of them too.That your corn plot on north side of 33.how was itIJNeighbors got a 52.They buy it at that sale you were at up northIJ

Hey Illinois Gleaner, I take it you are close to shelbyville. I know sidekick aka (Steve M),am wondering if I might know you. Not many of us Gleaner guys in the shelbyville area anymore, I am the only one left west of Shelbyville. I run a 62 that is fully hyperized. So far, I am pleased with my corn, in the 130 to 140 bu range. have not yet cut any soys. have a safe harvest James
