Since your grinding for feed why would you want to pick ear corn. When I was a kid every week I had to shell ear corn grind and mix feed. Cows pigs and chickens. It was an extra step that took a lot of time. I harvested 500 acres with an all crop head on a JD 7720. Went fast put the corn right in the bin and don't touch it till I grind feed. I just pull the grinder mixer up to the bin auger the pellets in drive over to the corn bin auger it it to the grinder and grind and mix at the same time. In an hour I have 500 bushels of mixed feed. Just park the mixer back by the feed bunks and I'm good for another couple weeks. Harvesting with an all crop you just have to keep an eye on the header and keep the cutter just below the ears. If you run too much stalk it will plug the feeder if you crowd it to much.

Last corn I grew I picked in the ear and cribbed it. I had 5 black Angus Holstein cross calves to feed out and the ground ear corn is about the best way to finish a calf. IMO I had the guy at the locker tell me that was the BEST marbled meat he had ever seen. It was good eatin too. Now for hogs, I would be tempted to shell it and put it in the bin.

X2 That's the way my Dad fed out 50 or so steers every year back in the 60's------ground ear corn with a little hay. The last month or so in the feed lot, he would also add some shell corn to the ear corn as it went into the grinder/mixer batch. The cattle would be sold out of his lot to buyers looking for restaurant grade beef and were sold for a premium over the price in St. Paul. Of course, that was when St. Paul still had the stock yards. He used to butcher one and sell half to the butcher and keep half for our own use. I very rarely have found steak as tasty since.
