Little bit of farming and random pics
Nice terraces
Couple large farms
Went on a parts run and found some old combines
Massey #1
Massey #2 Further up the road
Old Deere and nice truck
Old white and newer IH
Ochs harvesting (they test cut 3 different fields, none were ready, I think we cut 3 fields before they started)
Fairgrounds/parking lot. At least 2 cutters park in a pasture near where they start.
Our partners "new" antique
Second best field of wheat, mid 80 bushels 61-64 lb test weights
Both semis
S77 which was paired up with a newer R series, first gleaner crew I have ever seen locally.
Neighbors truck, owns 3 identical ones
Start of new bin
Roland Harvesting
Terrible picture but the entire wheat harvest crew
Best field of wheat we cut, guess what it ended up at
Thats a lot of straw
Never knew you could count rows in wheat and have free auto-guide but it sure worked good
End result of auto-guide test ;D
Neighbor has had a rough year, equipment shed burnt down with most of their equipment (uninsured but wasnt worth much anyways). Got a "new" 1688 and apparently the rear axle wasnt ready for wheat harvest.
Cool truck color
Well thats all I got, wheat harvest has pretty well finished up in my area, Went to Illinois today and still a lot of wheat along the KS/NE border that needs cut.
Wheat was so good combined with a 2.5 hour turnaround time for the trucks we needed the little cart as well as a 3rd truck for this field.

Lots of green stuff, kind of looked like a scrap yard
