Part 2/7:
The farmer’s day begins with the excitement of hooking up the header to the combine, ready to tackle an estimated 80 acres. Having recently finished harvesting soybeans, the anticipation of corn harvest is palpable, especially after a waiting period for the corn to dry adequately.
Initial checks show the corn head was in rough shape at the end of last season, but with some help, necessary repairs were made, including replacing slip clutches and tightening loose nuts. The farmer is eager to see how these adjustments will impact efficiency as he prepares to start harvesting.
