[rdvand]

We are attempting 160 acres of soybeans in less than 10 minutes in Moncton, Ontario.  Tough harvest weather outlook so far

[aahinoaa]

just wait till 2011 in ireland 300 combines i hear ,,,

[AdSlice86]

I'm hearing talk of more record attempts across Canada...

[rdvand]

@AdSlice86 Oct 5 we had a record for soybeans in Ontario. 160 acres, 115 combines, 11 min 43 sec. Crop yield was close to 60 bu. Had to slow down a bit because crop was 17% moisture. Hope to have video up soon!  Google Harvest for Hunger. Farmers rock!

[AdSlice86]

@GRASSorMUCK Is it official that they are attempting to break the record next year?

[FrankBullit]

not even one CLAAS? O_o

[rockmysocksoff2]

ya lexons are the same as claas but they just have a diff name

[adamfroese]

@rockmysocksoff2 lexions are the model built by claas

[alienworkshopsk81006]

@FrankBullit this is america no sucky claas here buddy

[moover2]

Bit of irony that Ireland ever held this record given the size of our fields & how wet it is here, but they've not raised the bar beyond us ;)

[GRASSorMUCK]

@moover2 They're doing it again next year to reclaim the crown, need to be further south imo, to get all the wexford/cork combines involved

[moover2]

@GRASSorMUCK Keep us posted ;)

this is amazing. great video!

[vincenzolorenzo]

Well done, its a great achievement! Is that the way ye normally harvest crops, ie - mow beforehand and then pick up or do ye not just cut directly like most combines?

[AdSlice86]

@vincenzolorenzo It varies with the farmer, the type of crop and the equipment they use.

[adamfroese]

@vincenzolorenzo most guys in the area straight cut however a couple of guys will cut it ahead of time to dry it out... that way you dont have to desicate either

[cloneylogan]

the field in combines 4 charity had no tilled division with a barrier between combines and i would agree with wknelsen that the combines were in the same location which in itself was a fantastic achievement. I know the grain was not wasted but wondered what tonnage was taken off the crop

[adamfroese]

@cloneylogan we got around 50 bushels an acre

[mrddt29]

@cloneylogan - Look closely at the combines4charity field. I believe I saw some areas either pre-harvested or just flattened. As a matter of fact there could be at least 4 plots if you say a division area creates a separate plot.

[wknelsen]

@cloneylogan - if you have concerns about the legitimacy of this record, I suggest confronting Guinness on the matter. I think what matters is that the combines were working together in the same location at the same time to harvest wheat that was planted and swathed as one field. I could see your point if it was in entirely different locations.

Regarding wasted grain, I believe all the grain harvested from the field was sold, and none was wasted at all.

[cloneylogan]

I am indeed a farmer and if i divide a field in any way I end up with 2 seperate plots If you look at combines4charity website you will see all their combines in the same field.

Congrats again to H4K's on collecting 200 combines into 2 plots !!!

[cloneylogan]

hoyhyh

[mrddt29]

@cloneylogan - not sure where you're not getting one field out of this. Are you a farmer? Just because they pre-harvested an area doesn't mean it wasn't on the same field. Give them some credit.

Great job Harvest for Kids! Looks like a great success.

[cloneylogan]

maybe the guinness adjudicator did agree but the event was still in two fields unlike the combines 4 charity event which had all combines working together. how many tons of grain was trashed on the day

[AdSlice86]

It was a single field and we pre-harvested out the middle to make room for spectators and a farm show, it was confirmed with the Guinness adjudicator ahead of time that it would still be considered one field.

[cloneylogan]

great event but i understood all combines had to work together in same field

[Sues04]

This was awesome to watch in my own community!!!!!

[hckrahn]

Proud to be a part of the community that made this happen. It was awesome to see!
