Corn Machine! What do you mean CORN doesn't come from cans?

Special Double Feature Documentary. When my sister Debbie visited the USA corn belt here last summer, she asked me how they pick all the corn.
Most of us eat corn and use the bi products like Ethanol, but have no idea of the amazing harvesting process. Here we demonstrate the Big John Deere Combine to pick, husk, and shell it all at once.

I was given a really great demonstration, by Ryan Eekhoff at Sibley Equipment, Inc.
They are the local John Deere dealer, here in Sibley, Iowa, USA. http://www.sibleyequipmentinc.com
Special thanks also goes to Joel Van Gelder, owner of the farm, and his Father In Law, Ted Schutte.

Both made me feel at home and were extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and process of raising and harvesting Corn.

I was very impressed and truly learned a lot.

So, for those folks who have never seen anything like this before, we certainly hope you enjoyed it and are enlightened.

Corn just doesn't come from cans.

Thanks for watching and subscribing,

Whoa that was awesome. The pricing for the trucks are insane, but for what they're loaded with and what they can do really does make it price worthy. I'd still prefer putting that money towards a home though xD. That mini rc tractor at the end was cool though! Thanks for uploading.

Thanks very kindly. The farmers say, that if they didn't have the combines, then they couldn't afford the house, as they would have to hire hundreds of people to hand pick the corn. Thanks for the kindl words.

Very cool Dave. I have to say, when I saw it was a near 20 minute video about corn I was less than excited. But it felt so short by the time it was done! GREAT video sir and great camera work by Jeff. My first thought was that the surprise RC ending was going to be an RC crop duster you put together or something. HAHA! That tractor was cool though too! Looks like a great time and what great guys to spend their time showing you around so you could share with us! Thanks again Dave! 5*

Thanks for being patient and watching til the end. Most folks are not patient these days, and why so many of them are unaware of reality, you know! Thanks very much for your comments and rating.

Hey Dave:

I absolutely enjoyed this "corn pickin"

video! Would you believe I have never

been close to a combine, let alone even

watched how to drive one. What really amazed me was the 'marriage' of GPS to the farmer's field!! So Cool! Thank you

sir. ElectronTeacher

No farmer would wear short pants in public. Except under his long pants.

And not all farmers farm like this... We use equiment from the 70's watch my video of me working ground with our tractor its not nearly as nice but it gets the job done and we dont have to make payments on it
