When the silage chopping begins on corn, it means wet corn harvest isn’t far behind, to be followed by the dry corn harvest. County roads and highways have been busy with trucks hauling silage to local feed yards as forage harvesters turn fields of corn into silage. Here, a 12-row harvester owned by Green’s Custom Service of Imperial chops a pair of corn fields southeast of Grant Tuesday morning. The head on the harvester chops the full plant which is then pulled it into the harvester, which pulverizes ear, cob and stalk into tiny pieces that gets blown into the truck traveling alongside. It takes lots of horsepower, more than 800 horses in this machine, to transform the plant into small bits of silage.
Frenchman Valley Coop’s new two-million bushel flat storage facility at their receiving station just east of Grant is now complete and ready for the fall corn harvest. FVC hosted an open house at the facility Friday. The building has a conveyor delivery system just below the truss roof that moves grain from the leg into the facility. The metal shielding atop the concrete walls allows for higher peaking of the pile, which increases the storage capacity. A conveyor belt system in a tunnel underneath the concrete floor runs the length of the building. Drop chutes can be opened all along the center of the floor to remove grain. The dump pit holds 1,000 bushels and the leg can move up to 20,000 bushels per hour.
