Corn Harvest on a Small Iowa Farm

Follow along with me as I harvest corn on my small Iowa farm and share what real row crop farming looks like during harvest season. In this video, corn harvest is just getting started as I unload leftover grain from last year, blend old and new corn in the storage bin, and work long days and nights to get the crop safely stored.

This video covers many parts of corn harvest on a small Iowa farm, including running wagons, filling grain bins, staging equipment, maintaining older tractors, dealing with breakdowns, and keeping harvest moving even when working alone. From nighttime harvesting and foggy mornings to grain dust, equipment repairs, and finishing the last rounds of corn, this is an honest look at how corn harvest really happens in the Midwest.

I also show grain handling practices like checking bin levels, coring the bin to manage fines, and keeping grain in good condition for storage. Along the way, there are real-world challenges like throttle issues, auger maintenance, combine repairs, and keeping equipment running during a narrow harvest window.
