Most Profitable Grain Harvesting Equipment
A University of Illinois farm economist compares costs and net returns of three harvesting setups for corn and other grains. The study analyzes a 7-foot PTO combine with a two-row picker, a 10-foot self propelled combine with a two-row picker, and a combined picker and other equipment on farms with 100 to 500 grain acres. Corn is dried with heated air and stored in metal bins.

Traffic Safety For Fall Morning Rush
The fall season brings shorter daylight hours and safer driving requires extra alertness. During morning rush hours, leave five to ten minutes earlier to compensate for reduced visibility and longer reaction times, helping protect your life and that of others.
High capacity harvest systems for large grain acres
For farms with 200 acres or more of grain the combine that harvests corn and other grains with heated air drying and metal bin storage yields the best returns over harvest costs. At 500 acres the gain is about 1300 dollars and for smaller acreages a power take off combine with a two row picker is best. The least favorable is the 10 foot self propelled combine with two row picker. Wills notes field shelling to reduce losses and timely harvest as reasons for high capacity machines. The closing line quotes aging perceptions among old girls.
