Picking Corn Has Come To an End! Harvest 2023! 

Good luck picking your ear corn 🌽

The old picker does a clean job. Love watching these old pickers still working.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family, friends as well to all my fellow subscribers. Gooble, gooble till you wooble.

Dad's a YOUNGER PUP THAN ME!!!😊

Always a pleasure to see the family working together. Father and his sons working in harmony, that's a great example you Dad is setting

I like the way you clean up around the cribs when finished unloading. I live by the old saying, "waste not want not".

Aweses

Great to see the corn cribs packed full going into the winter.

My dad picked corn with a 730 diesel and New Idea 234 for like 20 years

Nice video, glad to see the corn cribs full!

True "family" farm. You guys are awesome.

Great video Gierok Farms

As a painter for 40 years, never trust an extension ladder set up on a tarp!! Love your videos, stay safe!

Looking at the way he collects corn kernels is very attractive, those ears of corn are very full. I lost my crop this year and was destroyed by rats a lot.!

👏👏👏 Year's corn, Done 👌 (Naaman, Indiana)

Have a happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and your friends

I remember stomping the old upright silos during chopping corn. We didn't pick as much but some and had to shovel it by hand into a crib..lots of work but I still love the farm and watching guys like you all doing the chores 😊

I can just imagine how proud your dad is to see his sons working the farm that way he can have a break. He has raised 3 wonderful sons that he will be proud to let them take over one day. God bless you and your family.

Have a happy Thanksgiving

All of you guys are good at your tasks and believe me safety is paramount to a great operation. Love the farm and family!

River was sure happy to see you 😁 . Good to see you fellows finishing up with the corn without any serious down time . Nice t see Oli still chugging along . Great video , God Bless

Last time on Gierok farms.......I like that it sounds like a soap opera on tv.

Nothing wrong with several people learning how to operate different pieces of machinery. Glad you got that job done before bad weather sets in. We've been holding on hoping the moisture will go down before we start shelling corn. Need to get rolling soon before snow season sets in. Corn moisture levels seems to be a common issue in our part of Ohio.

Thanks for sharing the video. I always enjoy them. I knew I was close to your age I was in 86 for graduation. Y'all work well together on the farm. Hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving.

You guys remind me of grandfather’s farm in the sixties. He was a hog farmer in Iowa. I remember one year he had bumper crop of corn and had a huge pile in the barn yard because his corn crib was overflowing.

thank you

Hi Wisconsin,, farmer from Minnesota here,,, finished my corn picking also 35 acres, filled 2 cribs, I grind it as needed for local farmers who buy it,, used a ih 756 and a new idea 2 row picker and my home made wagon😎😎 almost forgot,, bought 2 hats for next season, happy holidays

Something we've done before is line our kicker wagons with plywood and store ear and shelled corn on them.

Another great video

love the sound of that M T/A

I graduated also in 85. That was a good year. I raise feeder beef! The price is good on fat cattle this year!

GOOD JOB DONE- HOPE FOR GOOD WEATHER NEXT YEAR-HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Great content! Thanks for sharing it! Hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving! Blessings!

I bet Mason had a blast first time picking corn? He did a good job 👍🏾

Totally enjoyed watching the video guy's 😊

I see you have some firewood stock piled for the comming winter, me too.

I remember being told in Voc Ag class back in the 80s how old timers that didn't shut down the picker before clearing clogs would notice their glove lying on the ground. When they reached down to pick it up they couldn't because their fingers were still in it!

One thing I learned working on farms in Kentucky and Indiana, the fuel companies sell the worst fuel to the farmers - full of gunk. Then they keep the best fuel for themselves. Check a filter or in your fuel tank for gunk.

Job well done Have a wonderful Thanksgiving May God continue to bless your family 🙏

Love watching you guys videos. And I appreciate all the hard work you put in to your videos. Love yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mean it

Rock in roll 🌽🌽🚜🚜🍺🍺🤠

Our neighbor had a hand with a thumb and pinky finger on it.picker got him.

Enjoyed your video again, like that tarp you use on the ground looks like a strong one

Great video! And not much is more comforting than full cribs going forward. Any time you have to make do for having extra is a good feeling.👍 Happy Thanksgiving, y'all, and God Bless!

Hi River!

Great video guys good job well done Thank you and Merry Christmas to all of the Gierock family

Have a Happy Thanksgiving

Ear corn makes some good cattle feed.

Like seeing this old school

I always love watching your videos Just bring back memories With my father and my brothers but we'll grow it up now So you'll have a good day stay safe stay healthy And keep doing what you're doing we love it get your another one

A well organised and tidy operation. Very impressive ,

Check your fuel it will gel up in your carb if you use the 10 percent when you get gas i think the 10 percent is a corn additive elenal easy to fix if that's it my log splitter done the same thing run with choke only if that's it wash the gel out of your carb with cleaner

Great content. Thanks for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving!

Really enjoyed these videos. Next year would you please consider doing a farm fall colors video?

smart advice about shutting everything down.. As a boy our neighbor farmer lost both hands in a corn picker.... love you channel

Colder air has more mass on the intake stroke, you'll also need more fuel. On my tractor, I adjust an 1/4 turn on the high jet early winter and back in late spring.

That's how we picked our in the 50s. Then we hired shellers to come in.

I know it’s probably too late but could you do a video of taking the corn picker off? We have seen 3 or 4 vids on mounting it. If not all good maybe next year. Keep up the good work guys, thanks for the videos 👍🇦🇺

Can you make a video of what all this corn will be done with im curious to know what all is made and how yall make it would make a great video i think.

Do you incorporate your St.Bernard on any of your merch? I think your St.Bernard would be a great mascot for your farm.

Also a 1985 graduate. Our neighbor ended his farming career getting his arm stuck in a corn picker when I was young. My dad went to find him after a night stuck there. We rented their ground after that.

That corn will sure save on your grain bill. Do you mix in alittle mollasas ?

Love the basic life

It must really be dusty, we don't usually see you guys wearing masks. Glad to hear you enficizing safety, corn pickers caused many accidents back in the day.

I remember when getting 100 bushels and acre was genius.

Nice video. Wish you would put a cover on the pto shaft thar runs the elevator. That scares me. You get caught in that it could kill someone. We always did on our farm. Good luck with the corn. Looks good.

Me to from high school seems like yesterday but it's been along time ago😢

Check out “Iowa country girl” … father son & daughter running the family farm with 8 Allis Chalmers tractors

Man I miss them days. Being old now it seems like life was lot simpler than I miss that just sayin 💔

I graduated in 86

Great to see old school corn picking done yet today. If I could ask a question, why dont you use a pull type picker?

You and your family have a nice Thanksgiving day and cows 🐄 and bulls and calefs

I miss growing up on the farm but I wouldn't have traded it for anything. I love seeing you guys using the vintage iron too!

Great video of ear corn harvest. Was surprised you did not have some kind of protection at PTO shaft between elevator and super m. I worked Volunteer rural ambulance for 30 yrs. Once your involved a a pto accident you never forget it. Last one our service handled,, it was determined the farmer got caught in shaft from raveling near wrist area of his jacket. Incident removed arm at the shoulder and his body made many revolutions around pto shaft. It only takes a few minutes to drive a couple steel posts and cut a piece of cattle panel to block accidentally slipping or falling into live pto shaft.

Really enjoy your videos. Was that a new Bobcat I see in the shed? 😮

That ladder is not fun. Very nice equipment you have.

ah, yes, cranking up the elevator....great way to lose a mouthful of teeth!

Have you ever used your self-unloading wagons for corn storage? I wonder how much another corn crib would cost. Thank you very much for the video, and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Great job .How do you stop the rain from wetting your corn in the wire silos ?

Couldn't you put the skid steer bucket under the elevator to catch the shelled corn?

What keeps mice out for your corn?

Do you have any idea of how many farmers lost thier hands and arms in those corn pickers?

How manny bushel do you get in them cribs

Curious ? How many acres of corn to fill 4 cribs?

Question - what do you folks do with your corn cobs after shelling? I'm inquiring because I'm thinking about carrying out an experiment that will require a whole lot of whole fresh corn cobs.

What do you do with the cobs ???😊

how can I get to buy this corn harvest machine to Ghana

Who’s on the back of Mason’s sweatshirt?

Hard work for sure.I worked on a herford farm as a teenager.Hated cold days grinding feed,but loved the smell of sorgum.Sweet smell
