Lake Metroparks Farmpark Halloween Drive-Thru

Watch for yourself as a Farmpark staff member demonstrates the use of the single row New Idea corn picker attached to the 1966 John Deere 4020 tractor. The stalk is pulled through rollers that separate the ear from the stalk and then removes the husk from the ear. A conveyor carries the ear up the chute and drops it onto the wagon. The corn is then stored in our corn crib drying out until next years Fall Harvest weekends, when it will be shelled and ground by you!
