An Introduction to Corn Headers

Corn headers are some of the best tools available for successfully harvesting corn, and are able to process even enormous fields of crop in a rather short amount of time. If you’ve recently started growing corn, or are interested in investing in this valuable crop, we recommend reading our article below on the many benefits of using corn headers. 

What Is a Corn Header

Corn headers are unique attachments that are installed onto a combine to successfully harvest corn. While they aren’t the only heads on the market that will allow a combine to successfully process corn, they are considered to be the most effective and efficient tools for the job. 

To successfully harvest corn, corn headers use large, long fingers to sift through and grip the stalks, while the rollers at the base cut and separate the stalks from the ears of corn. The ears of corn are then rotated by an auger before moving into the combine machine for further processing. 

Should You Buy a Corn Header? 

Corn is a popular crop, and can bring in a significant amount of revenue for a farm. If you plan to grow corn—even if it’s a small amount—a corn header may be a wise investment for your combine. As we stated above, corn headers are the best choice for getting the absolute most out of your harvest while also ensuring that your crops are collected in a timely manner. As a result, a corn header is often the best tool available for ensuring you receive the maximum payout for the amount of crop you’ve produced.
