Farm Progress Show twin row wrap up

The dust has settled from day 2 of the 2011 Farm Progress Show’s field demos, and the twin row portion of the demonstrations are in the books.

The Geringhoff Elite Series corn head continued its impressive introductory run with another great day, speeding through the twin row planted corn with ease.

Going where no corn head has gone before

Greetings again from Decatur Illinois, home of the 2011 Farm Progress Show. Before the field demos got under way today around 11:00 am, the combines and heads were in the field harvesting and making sure that all their settings were right. Other than some corn being a little wet, conditions were generally good and everyone was cruising along fine. That was until this:

There was some down corn in the demo field that was causing some problems. That is where Geringhoff stepped in. Where all the other combines and heads turned in for the morning, the Geringhoff said BRING IT ON.

The Rota Disc Elite with ICF Sweeper went in “head” first and made short work of the corn, leaving nothing but a finely chopped field behind it. After a meal like that you would think that the Geringhoff would be full and content, but with the real deal field demos around the corner, that surely isn’t the case.

Stay Tuned...

We are locked, loaded and ready for the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. Come by and see us on the corner of East Progress Ave and Ninth Progress Street. Lot 905.

And while your there, make sure to stop by the Field demonstrations daily from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM to catch a sneak peak at the future of harvesting.

Also, check back through out the week for updates throughout the show.

See you there!

Here we go...

You are about to become a part of history. Since 1888 Geringhoff has done a lot of things. In 1957 we were the first to mount a single row on the front of a military vehicle to harvest corn. In 1964 we revolutionized harvest by being the first to place lawn mower style blades under the row unit. In 1997 we introduced the leading stalk destruction technology known as the Rota Disc. Just last year we introduced a 24 row 20 inch folding corn head.

But all of that pales in comparison to today, for today is Geringhoff's first ever blog entry!  Hoff's Blog is designed to keep you in touch with anything and everything that is happening in Geringhoff's world and harvest in general. So check back often and we will do our best to keep you informed with insider access to the industry like no one else!
