Brother, that’s what I love about this channel. You get to see things you can’t see anywhere else. Raised up on a farm in North Carolina. We had a lot of sweetcorn, but it was pulled by hand. This was awesome to see great for other people to see they let them know that their food does not come from the grocery store lol. Keep up the great work.
You forgot to do the up close of the new Oxbo picker. Thanks for showing the old pixall picker. I grew up in clear Lake Wisconsin where they make these. It's was fun seeing the Byron on on the new idea machine.
Hay Mike , nice video, to bad its in Ohio, I been keeping up with Bell Farms videos here in Maine they pick sweet corn with very similar pickers, but theirs have a hopper on the picker, that they dump into one of their bulk potato trucks to haul to the packing house, which in the fall is used for the potato house, where they store their potato crop for the year, which will be starting soon, maybe you ought to try getting to Maine sometime. We don't have as big farms as you have out there, but we still have some nice size ones. Dave D.
Nice that you have someone like McMaster's not far to go video. It is very critical to choose a sweet corn variety which meets the needs of their operation. I believe it wasn't long after Pixall came out with their strip style head that they merged with Byron to form Oxbo. Before, Byron was known for the sweet corn harvester, and Pixall for their snap bean harvester.
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing this one. I have seen combines picking corn for fuel and feed not human consumption. I just thought it was still done by hand for humans...
Good afternoon Mike. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. My first driving job was hauling sweet corn from the pickers in the fields to the processing plant. The 2 main differences to your video being, the pickers had 8 ton power drive carts behind them, and our produce was blanched and frozen. Several of our pickers were the Unisystem with Byron picker and cart, and similar the the Byron in this clip. Thanks for the reminiscing. ua-cam.com/video/G_3nQA6LLl8/v-deo.html
@@RichardBurbick I videod this a week ago. I didn’t figure you were home but still got Burbwein Holsteins old farm in the background before you guys went huge in the dairy industry. Also pretty cool to do a video on the same ground Big Jim plowed.
The Oxbo header is called a sweet corn puller, the ears are cut off the stalk for fresh on the cob corn, vs a special snapping roll head used for picking commercial canning and freezing sweet corn, and also used for high moisture seed corn picking.
@@farmhandmike Im in southern MN big commercial processor sweet corn area. it's more fun watching all those ears fly off the elevator, than shelled corn coming into the combine tank.. Pioneer had some seed corn production in the area in the 90s, but moved it south.
Big time-we have a number of small sweet corn growers around our farm.All sell direct from a roadside stand. Good way for our kids to make a few bucks. $6.00 bucks for 6 cobs is what we are paying this year.
Thanks Mike. Corn looks great. Good color. Weed free. Even. Cobs look uniform. Obvious not making a lot of money though. Good farming, but selling is letting them down.
Can you please go to Green meadow farms in Elsie, Michigan they used to be The biggest registered farm then have one of the largest herd of cattle in North America 9,500 cows and have 7,000 acres of land. Can you do a video to do with alfalfa please and thank you.
Big thank you to all those migrant workers and all the others who do produce work!
Mike I like how you get all the different videos. Most people just get the more normal kinds of farm videos.

Never saw this before thanks.

Like that smiley face fuel tank 😊 nice looking sweet corn field.
Excellent video ❤
I love sweet corn roasted or boiled. Nothing better. ❤🎉
Another awesome video. Have never seen this process before. Fantastic.
Once again, Mike, you made a video of a farming process that I have never seen before. That's why I like 👍 Mike.
Happy subscriber 😊!
Sweet corn harvest is great😉👍 thanks for the video👍👍
Very interesting video, glad you were there to video, and share with us.
As always thank you

I was thinking the same thing !
Awesome seeing a video coming from my hometown!
What a boring life you have do you need a sidekick to have this much fun thank for keeping me amused for hours

Smell a vision has he headed to freezer. Clean freezer vac bag. Then at use poke few holes cook mic. Good stuff. Bet they supply indy DC also

Yum Mike great video
Really interesting video Mike. Thanks for sharing!
Good video.

Great video. How do they fill the cart when they are opening a new part of the field?
Every so many rows they have a spray drive that the tractor and wagon can run along. It's tight but just enough room.
@@jayhuff4674 I second what Mike said. We also have some fields that are too tight and we will hand pick to open up for the picker.
I am a sweet corn snob. Anything not picked that day is too old to eat on the cob. Yep, I live in the Midwest
We love it fresh too! Nothing better than right off the stalk
Mike. You were right behind my farm!! When were you there? They just started picking @ the Carroll farm early this week!?!

I've done some seed corn picking videos a few years ago with Oxbo pickers.

@AtherTech-8989They're harvesting now. They probably plant some every week in the spring so it doesn't get ready faster than they can harvest it.
@AtherTech-8989 when I grew corn in the garden I planted two rows every two weeks, we had fresh corn from 4th of July till Sept.
@@lynwessel2471 yea we plant every 5 to 7 days roughly, in the spring from April until beginning of June
SWEET!

Obvious not making a lot of money though. Good farming, but selling is letting them down.
We're mostly wholesale so the price definitely depends on what the market is doing.
I drove a Pix All with the New Holland cab from 1988 to 1996 at our local canning factory every summer they could go through a lot of mud…
Cool in North Carolina we do it by hand
I like Mike less videos on UA-cam from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
How many acres of sweet carn do they have???
@@ralphmorehart this year we're around 275 acres
😎😎
Hey Mike, I live in Trumbull County but my aunt lives in East Palestine. I'll have to ask her if she gets her sweet corn from this farm?
We sell to the east Palestine sparkle 😊
Why don’t they run dual wagons to be more efficient?
Can you please go to Green meadow farms in Elsie, Michigan they used to be The biggest registered farm then have one of the largest herd of cattle in North America 9,500 cows and have 7,000 acres of land. Can you do a video to do with alfalfa please and thank you.
Kallstrom Sweet Corn looking for a Oxbo CP400 head , Ephrata , Washington
Do you know if they ship their sweet corn to walmart stores
Not sure about that one.
Very rarely
They are going backwards...why are they blowing the garbage towards the unpicked corn instead of towards the already picked area?
Then it would be blowing it in the wagon.
A lot of waste corn, one could feed that to other animals out there in the fields like the deer.
Biomass to improve soil health.
We spread it back out into the fields which feed lots of animals. We also feed our cows and have some people who come to get some to feed their pigs
Alot less labor than what it used to be.
小型一點也可以，台灣耕地面積不大，但也需要這機器設備
Smaller ones are fine. Taiwan’s cultivated land area is not large, but we still need this kind of machinery and equipment.
真希望台灣也能有這種機器
