Me and my best friend put this video together over a span of two years. The first year is the one with canola and only newer New Hollands, the second is the year of wheat. In the first year I was along on the CR970, the second I was along on the TX68 while my friend was along on the CR970 with the straight head. My dad was driving the swather and his dad was driving the long beige tandem. The wheat averaged 70bu/acre while the canola did 30-35bu/acre. This is the Canadian Food Grains Bank field in our area, which both of our dads are in charge of. The orginization has fields like these throughout the Canadian prairies. The local farmers all pitch in with equipment and money. The proceeds of the crop all go to feeding African children. We put this video together to show in our church and churches around the prairies. To show them what Canada Food Grains Bank is doing. You can see the both of us standing side-by-side at 3:25, I'm on the far left eating water-melon, and on the image you see on the video before you play it: My friend has his hat on backwards because of the sun and I'm to his right. The images did get compressed in the making of the video so they aren't porpotionate. But enough rambling on, here is the video:
