2nd annual Walnut corn picking celebration


Well it is almost here the picker days for Walnut Illinois is next weekend ( Oct. 23rd and 24th). At 8:30 am there will be an operators meeting. At 9:00 we will have the national anthem and fly over, followed by hand picking By Don Mckinley (who has qualified at the state and national level) and myself and mechanical pickers after that. Kevin is going to see if he can talk Ron (RFP) into doing a demonstration on removing and attaching the gathering unit of his 234 picker on his IH 560. On Sunday there will be a 12 row seed corn picker to pick one pass and side dump "on the fly" into older wagons. At this time we are expecting about 40 pickers for this show. We hope to see alot of you there. Here are some more pics. from Bob Johnson's show.

I'm not sure why, but that mounted Moline picker is always one of my favorites! I sure want to see that thing in person someday!

Oh is that this coming weekend?  I might want to start putting on the picker!  I need to change the oil in the tractor and get the light on the back or get Charlie to bring a flash light.

I picked a little corn today, so I'm ready for my little show Sunday after noon.  I have a few people that want to see some corn being picked.  So the tractor and picker should be warmed up for Larkey's show.
