corn binder

Anyone getting ready to cut corn with a binder yet ? I'm getting my John Deere out today. Any ideas on how to keep the deers away from the shocks?
 
Hope to use my IHC to cut cane for sorghum syrup in a few days. It seems we always have a wind storm to tangle or flatten it right before cutting time. It doesn't work well in a tangled crop.

I'm installing an 8' tall deer fence for next year, I don't know of any other way to keep them away. Those critters demolished most of my crops this year.
 
Hide inside the shock with a 22 and a flashlight, when they come to eat pop em right tween the eyes, gooood eatin. Have heard this works never tried it. Wink wink! :>)
 
Never had problems with deer, always the 2 legged varity either pushing the shoks over or setting them on fire. Just pulled the John Deere binder out of the barn to get to what was in back of it, hasen't been used since 1959 but a little cleaning would be ready to go along with the New Idea 4 roll corn shreader.
 
Just finished tonight binding our club's corn for our show next weekend. Will run most of it through a husker shredder, then shell it with a JD corn sheller. May grind some up with the Letz mill. When they planted this corn, they thought that the planter wasn't dropping the seeds properly, so they went back over several rows. You guessed it! Had corn three to four across in the rows. The old worn out binder didn't like that one bit. Had to unplug it several times. Should have cut the corn earlier. Stalks were dry and brittle. Have never had a problem in the past with this binder, but the extra corn in the rows this time made it a memorable occasion.
 
I use electric fence tape/ribbon around my one acre sweet corn patch and it works excellent. It needs to be 32" high.
