At their annual convention last January in Des Moines, Iowa, our own U.S Parts Manager Karl Brooks was inducted into the U.S. Custom Harvesters Hall of Fame! The U.S. Custom Harvesters follow the harvest each year, beginning in south Texas, moving throughout the Midwest and up into the Canadian prairies, harvesting crops of all kinds as they move north. MacDon has always been supportive of this organization, and the many MacDon header owners in the group.
No farmer needs a lesson about the impact plant science has had on world food production, but a quick look at the year 1937 is none-the-less interesting. That year, U.S. corn farmers would enjoy their best harvest since 1925, producing 2.3 billion bushels on about 97 million acres planted for an average yield of 28.9 bu/ac (USDA statistics).
Keep Your Harvesting Options Open!
As a farmer you deal with risk every day, so a little bit of control goes a long way. MacDon M2 Series Windrowers help widen your harvest window and give you more options to help manage that risk. MacDon has been perfecting the windrower concept for over 75 years, so we know that with swathing comes great harvesting benefits: quicker harvest times, fully organic harvesting, a shorter season, an alternative to natural drying or desiccation, and even crop ripening.

Despite COVID-19, the harvest clock kept ticking, so MacDon’s US custom harvest support team was there to help keep things running smoothly.
Events moved swiftly after the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic on March 11th, 2020. Within hours, the US restricted travel to 26 European countries, and just 10 days later the US/Canada border was shut to non-essential travel. Instantly, companies across North America that do business internationally found themselves scrambling for work-arounds.
In a year full of unexpected surprises and challenges owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been relatively smooth sailing for farm manager Chris Barron and his crew at HJ Fairs & Son.
Located in Colchester, in the county of Essex near the south-east coast of England, Barron says the family farm has managed to carry on as normal when it comes to its owned, rented, and contracted farming land, which spans 4900 acres (2000 hectares).
Typical senior pictures are filled with bright-toothed teens in their football jerseys and band uniforms, or posing on a chair with a rose or in front of a city skyline with a blurry, glamour-shot background.
These photos are meant to capture a specific moment in a teen’s life, when things are about to change more than they ever have before as most head off to college and begin their adulthood.
