We combined corn and these are strips where we chopped for silage. The corn was planted in wheat stubble.

The corn ran about 70ish bushel. Not bad for dryland.

Yup..... You guessed It.... Grain Cart Girl... That's what the guys call me.

Driving to meet the combine..

Waiting for the combine to cut the strip so I could drive across and unload the combine.

Happy birthday. Some of us Rancher/Farmers like a few machinery pictures. Thanks. We might call those "vintage combines" now days. Boy are the new one's getting huge. Had a few Massey's like that one. Never owned a JD.

Must not have rice tires :wink: What happened to the back panel on the combine?

Happy Birthday, Katrina! Just wondering how 70ish bushel per acre corn even begins to pay its way? Around here that would be bordering on crop failure. I think the average bu per acre projection for Iowa this year is somewhere in 180 bu. per acre renge. Of course, all our water is natural and believe me, we have plenty. We had another 2.5 inches this week. Still lots of crops to be harvested. Latest harvest since 1954.

Enjoyed your pictures.

Those are 62 Inch wide float tires. Looks like we goin to tracks next year. Panel is off becasue we blew a hydraulic line.

How far away is high ground for the pulling out unit to sit on?

Dont even ask how we got it out. It took 2 steigers and a case of beer to get it out. I was standing on the levee. Nothing else got stuck we use floats or tracks on the combines and tall skinny tires on the tractors. Those dig down and grip

I thought you drain the paddy fields before you harvest the rice? Even the little farmers with the conical hats and water buffalo know that. :wink:

you do. but this is what 28 inches of rain in october will do. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and go for the crop so it doesnt spoil
