    30"??? you got troubles! Can the picker and M be narrowed up? If not 
you better start hunting a planter NOW before spring price surges take 
effect. It took me 3 years to find a 4 row--wound up with an IH 800. If 
you just want to play, you could do it with a 1 row planter.
  Seriously,  do you realize how much modern corn you can pick off 5-10 
acres?  Trust me when I say it will be a lot if you get rain--way more 
than the old timers used to. I don't know about down your way but there 
is considerable market for "deer corn".  There are some guys that are 
really serious about it, moving a lot of volume.
