Calmer Corn Heads’ 12-inch Row Corn Head at Boone Farm Progress Show

Calmer Corn Heads’ 12-inch Row Corn Head at Boone Farm Progress Show

Calmer Corn Heads’ 20 row 12-inch patented single chain corn head will be on display at the 2012 Boone Farm Progress Show (August 28-30th; Lot #1302).  This corn head is also equipped with the Calmer BT Chopper®Trash Reduction/Decomposition Kits.  Mr. Harry Stine and Stine Seeds have planted their STINE®high-density corn hybrids in 12-inch rows for harvest this fall in Iowa and purchased this corn head from Calmer. 

Marion Calmer has been involved in the research and promotion of narrow row corn since the early 90’s, through the non-profit Calmer Agronomic Research Center  – planting corn in 12-inch rows as early as 1994.  His experience demonstrates that equidistant spacing between plants improves light interception and yield potential while a denser canopy reduces weed control costs. Calmer Corn Heads specializes in manufacturing corn heads for narrow row corn and looks forward to meeting producer needs for 12-inch row corn heads.
