Duets (sp?) tractors started showing up last year.....we will see

We have more Claus then Deere choppers here. New Hollands are also common. Deere is the big one for tractors and combines. Fourth cutting is fast I know. Last night our son and family hosted the x country teams to a pasta
feed. I was over there for two hours and 1 chopper did 3 fields that totaled about 120-140 acres. They were merging 72 or 90 foot.

30 years ago it took a week to harvest,,,,,,Now takes a day........

Yes sir,
Man we sure enjoyed a couple years down in your area where my son was a pitcher at the local college.
Good luck with your harvest.
A few fields getting picked here too. So dry this year. If you didn’t irrigate then it’s about done here.

Me and my son at his last home game in May before he graduated.

NICe!
Sucks that baseball scholarships are not great.

I saw an extensive convoy of chopping equipment being hauled north on 23 this evening. Not sure if they had finished working something further south or what.

I'm glad u guys enjoyed it down here

I grew up on a corn field. I woke up one morning to what looked to be a hundred thousand geese out on the corn stubble. My dad pointed out to the field and said "you want to bust some birds?"
I had never seen them like that before, and I wasn't a waterfowl hunter r
At the time, so I declined since I figured they'd all spook soon as I walked out there.

I remember there being a cargo truck that drove alongside the harvesters. I guess the times have changed

…. Send me a tote sack full

We have one farm not far from me that milks 8,000 cows in two facilities. When they get rolling they will have 3-4 choppers going and that means about 2 dozen semi trucks to keep up with 3-4 packing tractors. The fuel oil delivery trucks empty out their tanks right in the fields.

There used to be more to motor cross then the machine .....

Yes sir, when did you all plant the corn down there, early April or maybe even late March...?

First 2 weeks of April

We started yesterday.

Neighbor here said he'll start cutting sileage next week or so.

Very first silage field chopped near me the end of last week. Lot of really green corn standing and several fields that have not tassled yet. Going to be a drawn out season. Not near as many acres for grain this year as many more acres needed for silage with the marginal yields.

Bryce

Neighbor started chopping silage yesterday but said it will be quite sometime before they start combining corn. Beans are just starting to turn this week. Should be a bumper crop for both. Typical with the market being so low the way it is.

should finish up with corn today

What are getting for yield?
