There were a few hybrids that rolled thru about 5 years ago that were dropping cobs prematurely. So they bred for tougher plant/cob connections and as a result, there is more butt shelling. But unless you had a perfect year and your cobs are hanging down at 19%, you will have that issue. Your corn was like ours, standing straight up and sometimes with half an inch of water in them.

Can't wait to get your kit on our agco next season. Couldn't pull it off for this year.
Awesome! Make sure you let us know how everything goes!
you will be very impressed they do an incredible job of shredding corn stalks 👍
@@leonardpetherick hope so.
