whattttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Like Mike is not crazy about wood!!!
Storm came through last night.
Amazing!
Small cypress grove on my street
Harvest season has started. These are the neighbors just to our south.
The auger cart will follow the combine around the field so it can unload on the go. Once full, the auger cart will fill the semi - in one load!
Anybody care to guess the value of the combine, auger cart and tractor?

$300 to 400 thousand?
The semi is probably the more economical purchase
That's a good guess.
My hunting buddy in Kansas had a combine harvester and it was$250,000 but he purchased that years ago. That being said, my guess was probably too low. What were they harvesting?
Harvesting field corn, sorry should have said that. Forget that what is commonplace to me, others may never have seen.
Kind of slow going in this field, a lot of corn laying down from summer winds. Have to go at it from multiple angles trying to pick it all up.

I was going through old photos on my computer last night and found this one I made at an air show in Ft Worth in 2011. I had just purchased the new Nikon D7000 and a great lens that allowed me to capture this shot of the Blue Angels as they came in over the crowd.
A Nikon - I knew I liked you for some reason ! Black lenses rule! Love the image!

I remember that view in the first picture. That's where you explained the reason for one cob of corn per stalk.
When I got to Mass., I saw 3 cobs per stalk on sweet corn stalks, and there had to be at least 48" between rows. My DIL's property borders a vegetable farm, and those tomatoes were absolutely delicious. Much better than store boughts. Too late for cucumbers.
When I was at Tim's, I saw that giant pumpkin. It is impressive. Sorry, didn't take a picture.. ......... Jerry (in Tucson)
Missing those times...
There is close to $1,000,000 in the three pieces of equipment. Around a half mil + for the combine, about $100,000 for the grain cart and probably $250,000 to $300,000 for the tractor. Of course those are prices for new equip and the costs go up depending on options.
Many around here will lease a combine as it's really hard to have that kind of capital tied up in equipment that is used for only 6-8 weeks a year.
Nephew drives combine and truck for an outfit in Kansas that runs harvest from Alberta to Texas. Keeps him busy 11 months a year.
Every morning I'm greeted with this sea of purple. By noon they have all dropped off. The next morning they are back. Pretty cool

My old boss and mentor showed me some at Barton Springs Pool in Austin many years ago. He said it’s colloquial name - is said - when someone asks do you want to plant some more of this - hell no.
Wild petunia and a very cool but spreading plant.
