Thought I would post a few pictures of whats doing on around here right now. We have been busy drilling wheat and fall harvest has officially started with lots of guys going on edible beans right now with sugar beets to follow. On with the pictures.
Our cart that we use to fill the drill up with and the drill in the background.
The 49 and one of our drills.
Here is the outfit that is custom farming the beans on my grandpa's pivots. For those of you who don't know edible beans require to be rodded, windrowed and picked up due to low pods that are susceptible to bean loss. They have to be rodded and windrowed at night and early morning when the due is on so the pods don't shatter also. These are pickett one-steps which rod and windrow the beans in one pass, most guys have switched to these now days. The one on the 8330 is a 12 row which is huge for a pickett, this is the first one I have ever seen, the other two are 6 rows.
Some windrowed beans.
A neighbor combining with his 9670. As you can see they are very dirty, just another PIA about edible beans.
Another neighbors combines sitting at the edge of his pivot, he is done with that field, I wish I could have got them in action. A Gleaner R72 and L2.
Some beans standing.
Our crops are looking extremely good around here, it is looking to be the best corn crop we have ever had. Here is a couple pictures of our best dryland field.
Looking like it should make around 115 and that will be the best dryland yields in this area ever. Usually we are lucky to get 75.
Our sunflowers are looking extremely good too.
I put the all crop head on the R52 a couple days ago to start getting it ready. First year with sunflowers so we ended up with an old worn out all-crop head off of a sale
Needless to say thats why it is on the combine so early.
Thanks for looking. Comments and questions welcome!
