[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1799110, member: 39695"] depending on what stage the plant is in and what type of cutter you plan on using you will have significant grain loss. A sickle mower is definitely out. A disk mower may get through it. (I’ve mowed still green corn in July with no problem) but a rotary Sythe would probably cut the best. They will shake the plant a lot though. I’ve heard of guys around here combining corn around 27-28% , then baling the stalks still wet and wrapping them in plastic. If you have any heat the bales will insel. [/QUOTE]
