Corn picking up north


Hello fellow members. I am a new member, but not a so new corn picker farmer. I still pick and store in rectangular corn cribs (4½'x16'x.....) +- 24 000 bu of corn every year, about a third of my corn crop and that for 30+ years, not counting the years with my father. I own a cash crop farm in Quebec and I am in an area blessed with average corn yield of 160 bu. (92 to 100 days corn). Right now I use an Uni-system 802 unit with a 838 husking unit, which I am right now busy to rebuilt (new husking bed rubber disks, new bearings and shafts, a complete overall). Before the Uni, I have run a 2 rows NI picker bought brand new by my father in the sixties. Like in the midwest, it was very dry and hot this summer. I expect to begin picking in the third week of September, at least three weeks earlier than usual. I will try to take photos of my corn picking harvest and post them later. Have a safe harvest.

WELCOME-----also waiting to see your harvest pictures.  Happy to hear your using UNI to harvest your corn. I shipped a UNI picker over the boarder a couple years ago.
