World's Biggest Cornhead
 ✖  |
Cornhead genius Marion Calmer showed off his biggest header yet - a 30-row, 12-in. behemoth mounted on a Deere combine. Calmer says it will harvest nearly 1,000 bu. in 6 min., which should win it a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records. Harry Stine of Stine Seeds plans to plant at 50,000 seeds per acre, with equidistant 12-in. spacing (using a custom-built planter), shooting for a 300 bu. per acre yield. Header has ultra narrow poly dividers and two Calmer chopping rolls per row - but only a single gathering chain.
