Anybody ever heard of a sheller for a 2-MH? I went to a swap meet today and found some literature on one. Looks like you mount it on the picker and can either pick corn on the ear or shell it. Sounds like it only takes about 10 minutes to change over. The literature says you can pick 1,500 to 2,000 bushels...

I found a New Idea 323 in St. Louis Missouri (on Craigslist). I was the first to call and worked out a deal over the phone/email. Between Monday and Friday of last week he had over 20 people call to try and buy it. I bought it from the second owner that used it to pick 10-15 acres a year to grind for his cows. ...

Has anybody put in any corn yet? I haven't but lots of people in my area have been. I got 20 acres of oats in on Wednesday and Thursday. I'll probably get my corn in next week.
