Went to a friend's place in Illinois Sunday. Shot some video of the corn harvest using older equipment of many brands.

Eric plants 38" rows. I think that's as narrow as the mounted pickers can get through.

Gosh, 38-inch rows were used 75 years ago & still being used a few places today to make the old stuff work.  If it ain't broke-don't fix it.

I plant 36's here. Wouldn't mind going to 30's but would need a different cornhead and planter..... Ones I have now are paid for and work great. Have a buddy, that runs a lot more acres than me, that's on 36's too.
