Do I need to put these in the husking roll assemblies? And I have the wagon chute clutch working thanks to you guys. [Reply]   [No Email]

The rest for winter feed for pheasants if the snow gets too deep. It comes out of food plots on another farm. [Reply]  [No Email]

Therefore unless you are concerned that the cribbed corn will not dry properly or are feeding hogs, I wouldn't use the pegs. Also as mentioned they tend to shell more corn which isn't a good thing if picking and cribbing. [Reply]  [No Email]

Usage depends on what you want and the type of corn. Some corn is bred to have a very tight husk and others are bred to have a husk thay opens itself so if you have a tight husk and need clean ears for some reason then probably use them, if your corn is the loose husk type and just going to feed it then forget about them. The tight husk types with the husk on will not be able to dry out in the crib if it has a lot of moisture like ears with no husks can do and therefore more chance of spoiling. Also if you later want to run thru a sheller the husks realy slow down the shelling but I would dought that is your plan by picking. [Reply]  [No Email]

Are there some in the rolls now, and these are extra? If you get too aggressive with the pegs, it'll shell out some corn. For feeding cattle, a few leaves on the corn isn't a bad thing. So, depends on what you are trying to get out of the deal I guess. --->Paul [Reply]  [No Email]
