It was operating at their R.R.4 farm on Friday where they have 30 acres of sweet corn and in about five minutes, the machine gathered 15 bushels of corn ready for market. It's a Byron Harvester that was purchased purchased in the U.S.A. last spring so this is the first time they've had a real opportunity to try it out. As far as they know, there are very few of them around. It should certainly keep their Caldor Acres outlet supplied supplied with fresh cobs for this and many future seasons. seasons.
