Now thats ambitious! Drove halfway across the country for a picker and 
you don't have a tractor to mount it on! I like your way of thinking! 
Now you get to buy and M! That should be pretty easy. If you are just 
going to play, you can probably get a 2 row planter for about a grand. 
Or you could just put a single row behind your A. It took me about 2 
years to come up with a decent 4 row that wasn't an antique in my neck 
of the woods. Should be a lot easier for you, more corn down your way. 
Didn't you buy a hammer-mill a while back? Looks like you are starting a 
start to finish feed business.
