  • 2020 Eastern Iowa Corn Harvest
    Video I shot south of Dubuque Iowa of an area farm harvesting their 2020 corn crop with their Claas Lexion 8600 combine with a 12 row corn head. Running beside the combine is a John Deere 9520R tractor pulling a Brent Avalanche 1196 grain cart. In this 25 plus minute video is several shots from the ground and from the sky with the beautiful rolling terrain of eastern Iowa.

      It sure looks like you were getting a good yield out there. The rich green grass in the wash-a-ways show that rain was good in this area.

    Love the rolling terrain, the way they farm such rolling ground and the explanation of the water ways. Great job showing all terrain through all the different camera angles. We had some water ways and wider field edges around creek beds on our farm, we had pride in our conservation efforts of the topsoil, even planting trees where the terrain and soil wasn’t the best. Love to see more like this!

    Mike- at 2:04 you mentioned the grass strip waterways- and the benefit they have for reducing erosion. They are also very important for capturing nitrogen fertilizer from farm "run-off" of nitrogen fertilizer- preventing it from goin into the Mississippi River and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. These farmers are responsible environmentalists! Love your channel and love Eastern Iowa- beautiful part of the world- the people and the landscape- amazing.! (Actually- this is the "flatter" part of Eastern Iowa- get closer to the Mississippi for some amazing landscapes- Iowa meets Sweden).

    Trivia: Loess is the name of the geological whatever you call it from the Glacier periods in Iowa and Siberia Russia. The Loess Hills are essentially snow drifts of dirt formed on the edges of Ice Glaciers. End Trivia. They can bee seen along the Missouri River valley Betweem Missouri Valley (US Hwy 30) and Sioux City (US Hwy 20) of course the actual distance is longer than that
