That system is something else. I'm fascinated by all the moving parts. Wether it modern like your operation or antique like mine. To give a frame of reference to how antique my operation is, my rotary combine is stationary and says Minneapolis Moline on the side.
Good ole' Minneapolis Moline, ain't nothing wrong with that! We used to have one for shelling seed corn, before my time in the 60/70's. We built the first 1/3 of this dryer in 1978, and have added on 3 times since then. Used to have an old Minneapolis Moline in line 6 that would run our dryer fans before they started to build seed corn dryers like this. You know what I like about 20+ yr old equipment of anykind... it's paid off. And I can probably fix it if it breaks. Alot of pple spend themselves broke farming in modern agricultural industrial complex.
@@growthefarmup2606 I have the sheller to shell corn out for finishing lambs, also I can shell extra corn out to sell if I need to. there was a lot of ear corn grown around here when I was a kid. It was either ground for cattle feed or hauled to the Anderson's in Toledo Ohio. One year they announced they wouldn't be taking it anymore and ear corn disappeared. They used to shell it but they had a market for the cobs so they had a cob premium. I never remember anyone around having shellers like mine.. Yes, everything is paid for. And simple to fix. Like all my old equipment, I'm obsolete so computers and I don't get along.
I would reply yes, and all of the above. How's harvest going up north? This is me storing the grain from the field corn lots that we grow from the hybrid seed corn crosses we grew the year before. Some of this corn is specialty IP for specific contract use and some is just #2 yellow we test the field corn generation for a few seasons inhouse on the new hybrids to track all the data on every variety, and how they react. Test weight, drydown, plant type, does it have good resistance to GLS for the environment, What can be improved, can we cross a different male and increase any good charistics etc. Using the facility 2 times Thanks.
VERY cool man! I could watch grain flow all day too! 😂Congrats on another successful season!!! 🌱🌽

So are you contracted by one company to grow seed for them or are you growing your own seedstock and then any company can buy it?
