I was at an ISU field day at Crawfordsville in southeast Iowa on Thursday and one CNH rep talked at some length about down corn in the Burlington, IA area. He gave some tips on how to deal with it, such as not to run the head too flat as it caused the stalks to come in at a less than optimal angle and have more likelhood of plugging.
He mentioned the auger some see on the side of combine heads and that it seemed to work well but high tin may not word so well at getting through lodged stalks.
I can get his name if you need it.
