Husker Harvest Days Field Demonstration – Day 1


Husker Harvest Days Field Demonstration – Day 1

What started out as a chilly morning turned into a gorgeous day at the Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island Nebraska. In addition to a busy display, Geringhoff was participating in the Field Demonstrations. Running a current generation 12 row 30 inch folding Rota Disc corn head on a Case 7120 Axial Flow combine. 




A large crowd was gathered well before 11:00 am this morning to catch a glimpse at the impressive machinery on display. As the demo’s started the crowd gathered as close to the safety rope as they could in order to get a good look. The one thing the rope couldn’t protect you from was the guys firing high velocity t-shirts into the crowd with what I can only assume was a rocket launcher.


The show reported the corn testing at 19% moisture with the corn yielding between 135 to 200 bushels.

Overall a good day on the lot and in the field. Here’s hoping the success and good weather carries over to the next few days.
