Corn field question

[BIG IRON]

I have noticed that guys are starting to bale/shread their corn fields that didn't make it this year. Some of the fields I have seen have a few strips left untouched. What's the deal? Are they leaving the strips for insurance reasons or something like that?

On second thought. Not sure what the purpose of leaving it standing would be. Everything I've seen has been mowed or harvested for personal use.

i saw that on 35 near hillsboro a few weeks ago... everything mowed but a few rows here and there

Makes a great place for the dove hunters to hide

That is one of the places that I have been seeing it.

Dove hunting purposes. Places for the hunters to hide. At least that's what we used to do with our fields.

The same folks did it last year too.

In Grayson county all the cut corn fields that I saw were completely cut.

Saw the same thing on I-45 this week around Ennis. Wondered why also.

that is for insurance purpose. they leave the strips and then they will come and have to combine them.

Correct, for insurance purposes.If the ins. guy has been to busy to come by harvest time,the farmers will leave a few rows for the ins. guy to look at and judge yield vs. ins. income.
