A Field Day sponsored by Monsanto and held in Nebraska on Nov. 2, 2016 provided an opportunity to look at multiple harvest methods and compare them with the New Holland Cornrower (shown in the video below). The Cornrower system of stover harvest offers unique opportunities to realize the benefits of stover removal from the field. Added revenue opportunities for farmers will be part of our future because of innovations from people working on stover harvest and innovative uses of stover.
On Oct. 19th, 2016 at Iowa St. University, the New Holland Cornrower was used to harvest corn on university property. The Cornrower will be used to evaluate stover removal as part of Iowa State’s ongoing efforts in this area of stover collection.
Ongoing studies involving the Cornrower at Michigan State and the University of Nebraska, as well as Iowa State, continue to build a deep database supporting the benefits of stover harvest and show that the Cornrower is the most efficient and least costly way to harvest stover.
The video below shows the Cornrower performing as expected at ISU. We would like to thank the university for its interest and research covering the Cornrower as part of its overall study on stover.
