Geringhoff is showcasing its latest addition to its NorthStar Elite XL series of corn headers, now available to North American farmers.

“This is actually the largest corn head in the world at 24 rows and 30” row spacings. It’s a full-on 60’ long corn head,” says Samuel Coalson, director of marketing for Geringhoff North America.

Coalson says the NorthStar series of heads has been engineered to provide exceptional performance for farmers in the most adverse conditions, such as in fields with downed corn or with tough cornstalks, thanks to the addition of the Integrated Crow Flow Reel. It removes the ears from the stalk and processes the stalk, allowing for greater breakdown and postharvest tillage.
