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.

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.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

They are busy emptying manure pits and finishing 4th cutting hay right now...after that, it will be go time.



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 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

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.

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

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.

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.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.
