Shorty Kulhanek, custom harvester from Colby, Kansas is working in Gettysburg, South Dakota and is experiencing challenges with the corn harvest due to late planting and wet conditions that have been exacerbated by an unseasonable snowfall. Despite some improvements due to warmer weather melting the snow, the moisture content of the corn remains high at 18-18.5%, which exceeds the limit for storage by local processing facilities. As a result, storage options are limited, and Shorty is working with two machines to harvest the remaining 1,100 acres for one farmer and an additional 400-500 acres for another.
Weather and Equipment: A chinook wind has recently helped clear snow from the region, although South Dakota's distance from the mountains reduces its impact. The unavailability of storage and dryers adds to the harvesting difficulties. Shorty uses 12-row headers on his machines. While his equipment, namely gleaner combines, has been performing well, he still faces a significant workload. Hale Broadcasting, the interviewer, extends good wishes and prayers for favorable weather and effective harvest processing conditions.
