Hoggin\' Snow

Couldn't figure out why I was hearing a tractor this morning....used to these sounds in the summer.

Re: Hoggin\' Snow

He is just chopping the stalks. Up around Rochester they were plowing with snow on the ground. around the beginning of December. Had a few inches of snow but the ground wasn't froze yet so they could still do it.

Re: Hoggin\' Snow

I would think that the snow would pack in tight into the corners and under the deck, such that there would be no room for the corn stalks to get chopped up. Maybe the corn stalks knock the snow loose so that isn't a problem.

Cause it reminds me of when I thought to try the push mower to blow snow off the walk. Hmmmm? Didn't work.

Re: Hoggin\' Snow

He is trying to get the stalks chopped before spring. Chopping them makes them deterioriate faster so that they don't have as much stubble in the spring to plug up any of their equipment. In most cases the farms use regular Stalk choppers but this farm looks to be using what they have on hand which is a brush chopper. Still works though.

Re: Hoggin\' Snow

I knew what he was doing. Just thought it was kinda funny looking w/ the snow and all. Thought maybe I had been doing it wrong all of these years w/ a shovel or snow blade. Hadn't occured to me just mow it down like you do the grass /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
