Widespread Burned Up Corn Has Used Forage Chopper Values RISING

3 weeks ago I was filming a farmer interview on his farm in Hudson, WI. After the interview we walked over to look at his corn.

There are no ears”, he said. “Burned up.”

Not just in Hudson, WI.

Not surprisingly I am seeing the buyer demand rising and auction sale prices escalating on good condition used forage choppers. Case in point, yesterday (September 7, 2022) on our friends at www.bigiron.com weekly online sale.

1977 JD 5460 forage chopper from Pierce, Neb., sold: $34,751


Pete’s Note:$34,751 is the Highest auction price on a JD 5460 chopper in 7 years and the 2nd Highest auction sale price the past 22 years
