A26-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 11 r 2003 Corn Harvest Aid Comes Through (Continued from Page A 1) Hoover said about 20 com choppers came into the area from places as far away as Perry County to assist. Local harvesters also stepped in to help. “It has really worked,” Hoover said Wednesday morning. “The majority of the (silage com) is cut. The (phone) lines have been very quiet this morning.” Hoover said there have been some complaints that half the yield was left in the field in cer tain cases. He estimated that many fields had lesser losses in the 20-30 percent range. Some requests are coming in for combines, but the demand is much less than the call for chop pers earlier, he said. A few Amish are having high moisture com put into forage bags, but many are not equipped to handle it. Hoover said the office opened up Sept. 22, four days after Isabel hit. Some custom harvesters had received 50 to 60 phone calls from farmers needing help, he said. The Com Harvest Aid office was able to play a part in reduc ing crop losses by connecting fanners with harvesters to get the, work done in a timely manner.

Safety during custom harvest ing on these farms is a concern because of unfamilar equipment and because of the potential buildup of deadly silage gases, Hoover pointed out. Having silos filled in several hours compared to several days or a week can result in a much higher concentration of gases. Harvesting the silage too wet or too dry also contributes to the danger, he said. The Corn Harvest Aid office worked with Leon Ressler, Lan caster County extension director, in spreading the word.

However, many fields yielded well as long as harvesters went at about half their normal pace and were willing to making some head adjustments on the ma chine. “It went better than we had feared,” Ressler said. Beside yield losses, one con cern is volunteer corn growing up in fields next year, he noted. For farmers who have live stock and the time to put up extra fencing, turning animals in to harvest the down corn is an option, Ressler said. shop provide an opportunity for local officials and educators to gain an understanding of Penn sylvania agriculture. “It’s all about education and being proactive,” said Wolff, “just trying to make information available.
