 Topic: A-C Sweet corn
Posted: 30 May 2010 at 5:00am |

Hi Y'all I haven't checked in for a while but I do get to read some posts on occasion. I returned home after midnite from a long NBC chartered trip and at first light walked my hill and son of a gun my Allis Chalmers sweet corn is all up and growing nicely. You know AC sweet corn's better than any other brand...right? lol Anyhow I broke my own westbound flying time record by leaving NYC and landing in Vegas 4 1/2 hours later...because of no headwinds which is rare. Come to think of it the sweet corn popping up in 6 days must be a personal record too as we've had temps in the 80's and I usually plant earlier in the season when it's cooler. I have 1.5 acres up and growing and another acre to plant in a couple more weeks. The plowing was with the WD, discing and planting with the D 19, and the C is ready for cultivation. Now if we could just get some much needed rain! Cheers!

I ditto Gary. I'm sure you will have rain soon. Got 3/10" last night on the sweet corn I planted Friday. Used the other orange, Kubota, to plant but used the 7580 to work up the ground.

Cap, i'm hurt. You didn't include a pic of the C! LOL! I would have to agree. I haven't been on another machine that was as easy to cultivate with as a C with 80 series cultivators. Hydraulics to make it easier on the arms, depth control levers within easy reach, narrow front for better visibilty, and everything is right there in your natural line of sight. Very nice setup you have there. Really like the planter setup on the D-19.
