Title: Answer to your corn harvest questions
Post by: bweaver on October 27, 2017, 09:40:46 AM
I have been asked enough questions about when and how grain corn is harvested.  Many of you don't believe how it is done when I have explained it.

A video is worth a thousand words.  Enjoy!  ;D

What an informative video!! Sadly though some of my most burning questions remain. Namely:

1. Do LiPo's make the corn better?
2. I've heard that corn plants eat balsa and/ or foam? Is this true?
3. What's the longest a RC pilot has survived in a corn field without rescue? Legend has it there are still some guys from the 72Mhz days out there wandering in the corn.
4. I hear that rather than irrigating the corn fields, farmers now mostly count on the tears of RC pilots to water their crops? Fact or fiction?

'YES' to the first 3 of your further inquiries.
'FACT' to your 4th inquiry, however many of our members contribute more than their fair share tears.

Mike,

re: 1. Do LiPo's make the corn better?

Lipos make popcorn!

Bruce,  better a corn farm than a pig farm. :D

Interesting video. 
Too bad John Deere doesn't make crop duster planes because then the RC toy would be worth every penny. 
Love the Hangar 9 Agwagon.

Oh great!  It shows the stalk dust being ejected back onto the field to feed the soil for "..NEXT YEAR'S crop.." 
Poop! - Possibly more corn next year guys if our farmer doesn't practice crop rotation!!
