Well,for all you critics,I saw a field today that was green as a gourd with corn sprouts(solid).I made several trips past this same field in early Sept when they were harvesting it.It is a seed corn field harvested by Burris Seeds just east of Meredosia IL.Wasn't any combine spitting it out the back.All head shelling from the ear picker.This field hasn't been tilled yet like the ones accross the road that are even greener.

The fields I seen were in the Mattoon-Cooks Mill area. I didn't realize I would get so many responses to this. I guess there are a lot of reasons for loss of crop. I have never used a combine and used a picker very little but I just assumed there was very little loss.JP

Lonn, woulder that be Hader's farms? They have Clauss and Lexion combines and run Cat equip. Seen them send semi loads of corn down the road every 6 2/3 minutes at harvest time using just 3 combines. And up to seven combines on beans.
Very impressive operation.
Lot has to do with the how the operator operates the equipment and how good they are with maintenance and settings/adjustments of their combines for prevention of loss of grain.
Fellow up here had combined oats and it was thicker than a hair on a dog where the combine had run, looked like maybe 30%. So much that he could have made another crop just cutting the strips for hay.
yup, Lots to do with the operator.

Nope, not Hader. A few years ago Kramer Farms was the largest in Dodge County and they are the ones who do a real nice job. Now Hader and Molitor have moved into the area big time in the past 3 or 4 years. Molitor semis go by all the time. 6 years ago I never heard of Molitor. I think that's the outfit Kirby Pucket may have invested in at one time along with Carl Pohlad. Not sure though. Molitor Farms is related to Paul Molitor. Hader is real big too. They call them "lord incorporated" around here. So-called real good Christians that will move into your area and outbid longtime renters out of the land. They have started one or two churches and use the churches for every tax loophole they can. They don't do any business with the dealership I worked at but they'll call on a Sunday morning demanding service when they are in the area. Can you tell I don't exactly like Hader Farms?
