Corn Picker Calendar

The idea was "tossed" around before with a couple of people that I have spoken with. I think it would be nice to have more input on this as well. But then some people may feel slighted because they did not make it into the calendar. Open to comments and suggestions about this subject as well.

Here's an idea: start a forum of submitted pictures and just pick 12 at random every year. You could possibly mix in current picker pics with some of vintage picker pics if any one has any. I like the idea of a calendar, I would definitely buy one even if mine wasn't in there!

farmboydk - I LIKE it!! I am sure there would be quite a few calendars sold.

Bartlettfarms1854 - I think you have a good idea about developing the calendar with the submission of corn pickers "new" and vintage.

Who would be in charge of the selection of the corn pickers...our corn picker forum "boss"? A good choice-not volunteering you. I would interested in doing it. I have made a couple of pictures books using Walgreens and my wife made a calendar from our wedding pictures using Walgreens. They turned out really nice as long as you start with good quality pictures. Devon's Tractor Parts has a nice calendar of IH tractors. I am sure there are other good sources of calendars out there. I guess it is just a matter of seeing what other's think and decide who is going to put it together.

Shutterfly and kodak.com does awesome calendars - the accounts are free - each individual could pick the 12 pics they wanted - guessing 20 bucks to create and u customize ur own with birthdays etc

I would commit to 10 calendars if this happens. I think some of the first pics should pay homeage to those that started this wonderful website. You could mix some newer pics with it. This site has brought back memories of such a good time and I've been able to buy my own pickers and relive that good part of my life. I thank you for this site and a calendar would let me look at these memories everyday. Thank you!

This idea has been around awhile but no one has stepped to the plate to take charge of doing it . its a great idea and looks like we could sell 30-40 just with a few postings . Or go to the Tractor calender people and see if they would be interested !!
Also to get a few more on it could be split in half or quarter to to get more on .

My wife said she was willing to put it together and mail it out. She would need the 12 pictures digitally. The cost for one is 21.99 plus shipping from shutterfly. If the order is several, the cost would be lower. Let me know if there is enough interest to send her 12 digital photos via email and she will construct the calendar. We can order individually at the cost above from shutterfly or if we want a reduced cost she could make an order for a certain amount (I will pay) and we can all order from her. Without knowing for sure would guess the latter is 20 bucks for the calendar and shipping. If you order individually from shutterfly you could add any birthdays or other special occasions.

she corrected me by saying the best thing to do was just tell everyone the shutterfly account and password for the calendar and everyone would order individually from shutterfly. She is willing to creates the calendar if she can receive the 12 digital photos.

Awesome! Tell your wife, "Thanks!". I like your last post, that way everyone could personalize them. What a great thought! I'm excited to see this come about. Now for pictures, I'm open for whatever/whoever chooses, or can they download more than 12 and an individual choose the 12 they want? I'm game either way.....

She said she was just going to go through the site and find pictures already posted that we're good quality. If anybody has any suggestions on type of pic please post and better yet post the picture on this thread to keep her from having to pick and choose.
