    I always love watching these corn picking videos, and you do a great job with the camera!

    I had a 323 when I started farming 40 years ago. Then I got a 319 two row mounted picker on a Super M. That thing would really pick corn but running it was a filthy job! I've had a couple of 324s, I like them.

      Mounted pickers put you right in the middle of the mess. Dad bought ours probably 20 years ago or more. He said it never saw the inside of a barn until he bought it. They are tough old machines.

      I am glad the snow has been thin. Yep, the corn has been good, it's just getting it in.

    Love Your videos 👍😀 Don't know date of this field work, but last weekend the south did get hit with storms . Everyone is done harvesting and looking at the flowers on the walls .Yeah 😁 Your videos are a knock down punch , home runs out of the park . I myself would prefer a 2 row picker , but don't stop for hell or high water 😁

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +2

      We have been ,ucky to miss most of the snow. But can't catch a break on repairs.

  • @bigDH123
    @bigDH123 Před 6 lety +2

    My fingers are crossed for you to get all your corn off Jacob. Too bad it wouldn't freeze solid for you so you don't have to deal with the mud. keep us posted.

    • @fredf3391
      @fredf3391 Před 6 lety +1

      big D fan fingers crossed 👎 My wife and me prayed for good weather so everyone would get there harvest in Yes we farm and I work off the farm we like medium size oh we got done with corn around the Frist

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +1

      I'd take mud over break downs.

  • @karljacobson1575
    @karljacobson1575 Před 6 lety +2

    You need a heat houser on the tractor!! Boy I would take some of your moisture back here!! We're dry as heck here on top! Wheat looks like crap! Sure enjoy the videos! Wish I was closer, I'd look u up and enjoy picking corn in real time!! Keep the good videos coming......

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +2

      A heat houser would be nice, but I was never cold. I'll gladly give you some water. I have seriously thought why no one has put up a pipeline to take our excess water.

  • @jrbpa5775
    @jrbpa5775 Před 6 lety +1

    Glad your getting some corn taken off. It looks like the hybrid corn of today doesn’t hold up to the corn picker to well. Lot of the tops breaking off compared to corn of years ago but farming does change. Good luck!!!

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety

      The stalks are very dry. When I was picking earlier, the wetter stalks were easy work.

  • @lukestrawwalker
    @lukestrawwalker Před 2 lety +1

    Nice footage... farming 1950's/60's style! BUT hey, it works! If a guy can make a buck at it it's all good! Later and KUTGW! OL J R :)

  • @banditfarmer1900
    @banditfarmer1900 Před 6 lety +3

    Nothing better than picking corn in the mud ! LOL But it never fails that you end up doing it that way. Great camera work JB, I kept waiting for the camera to fall off and go threw the picker ! LOL Wouldn't that been a great video, How corn feels being picked ! Bandit

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety

      I was trying to tackle the wet spots with and empty wagon behind me. I try to keep the camera in safe spots.

  • @rustyoldjunk
    @rustyoldjunk Před 6 lety +2

    Dry cold stalks cause problems with any picker, I think. I was having problems with frozen stalks getting sideways between the snapping rolls and plugging the apron chain that brings the ears to the husking bed on my 327 this year. But before it froze, the ground was too greasy. Can’t win, although I agree that pickers seem to prefer wetter corn,. Cool video. I like that old Ford picker, I never knew they made them.

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +4

      That picker is one of the few implements Ford made themselves. And the sheet metal reflects the car styling.

    • @rustyoldjunk
      @rustyoldjunk Před 6 lety +1

      Boehm Farm so would that have been sold new with the hundred series? I know you mentioned in a previous video it was designed for an older series?

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +2

      Some of these were red, so yes, the hundreds and four cyclinder 2/4ooos, and the early thousands.

  • @jonathanmccroskey3659
    @jonathanmccroskey3659 Před 6 lety +1

    Jacob, sure would like to you weld on those Ford picker rollers. Hate watching you lean over in the mouth of that picker while it is running. But I guess who am I to say, you seem not to mind and you get the job done. I really enjoyed this video. Again, it brings back good times for myself. Thanks!!

    • @fredf3391
      @fredf3391 Před 6 lety

      Jonathan Mccroskey who am I. You right but this video is not live 😁 so no 1got pulled into picker accidents happen ,but they never happy to me 😁 isn't that what they say 😁

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +1

      I tried to make it like original last night. We'll see how the video turned out.

  • @larsonvalleyfarm
    @larsonvalleyfarm Před 6 lety +3

    Good times! I borrowed a New Idea 323 a couple years ago to see if it would work better in 30 inch row corn than my 324 does, I was not impressed. Under the snap rolls it would plug tight. What a pain to dig out constantly. I think its the narrow channel that is the flaw.... Looks like your camera was getting beat up on the first angle! Lol

    • @fredf3391
      @fredf3391 Před 6 lety +2

      larsonvalleyfarm Them 300 JD pickers you could put 2row wide and 3row narrow head's but you didn't have the capacity in the back for cleaning . Seed corn harvest be good but husk stay on ,. You got snow,years ago run eggs up to SV in Green Bay then go over to Portage for cheese back to city (Chicago) stay warm 😁

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +1

      Yes, that stupid narrow channel under the rollers. That's why I want to move that old new idea. I have dealt with our old cantankerous picker long enough to know when it's a bout to be really plugged underneath. I stop and back so the stubble will pull the stalks out.

    • @richardcleasby105

    • @conortimm733
      @conortimm733 Před 6 lety

      larsonvalleyfarm I️ see a lot of people consolidating about that narrow channel and I️ can’t see what you’re talking about. We’ve had are picker for over a decade and haven’t had that problem ever.

    • @larsonvalleyfarm
      @larsonvalleyfarm Před 6 lety

      Conor timm do you have a 323 picker? My neighbor has a 323 and a 311 I believe. The 323 is the only one with this problem

  • @pete56
    @pete56 Před 6 lety +2

    Back in the 60's my grampa lost half of his left arm in the rollers on his New Idea picker. The dairy farmer that I worked for in the 70's had done the same thing. Happens real fast, be careful.

    • @fredf3391

      young jake keeps pushing corn stalks in the gathering chains and rollers on that worn out little ford toy picker , he's going to go home for dinner and say , " look mom no hands " . Jesus this kid is an accident going someplace to happen . Good luck jocko you are going to need it . I seriously hope he doesn't have to change his name to ONE ARM JACOB !

    • @defuse56
      @defuse56 Před 2 lety +2

      @@bryancovert9821 What alot of guys don't realize is that, if you hold the end of a cornstalk and use it to clear the rollers, the machine can yank the stalk (and your arm) in so fast that you don't have time to let go of it. The only safe way is to shut everything down before you touch the picker.

    When you sell ear corn do you grind for the customer and if so what is the going price

    • @boehmfarm4276
      @boehmfarm4276  Před 6 lety +1

      I try for as little work as possible on that end, so I hope it's going out whole. I charge $.50/bushel to grind and a couple quarters more if they need it bagged.

Cold start just like starting gas car or truck no difference Oh it the noise of the diesel motor that turns people on and the smoke Give me a break

    • @camkenimer5279
      @camkenimer5279 Před 6 lety +1

      So what's your point? I wasn't suggesting a cold start; I was suggesting these guys to go look at a combine for sale. Apparently several others suggested that as well

    • @fredf3391
