both us laughing again

this year! the old lady.....ooooops….I mean the loving wife and myself sitting on the deck sipping hot cidar watching the renters harvest the field next to the house! o-k...so they have a new green combine, 3 straight trucks with aluminum boxes, and one semi, and a green MFWA tractor with a new grain cart. the trucks are all sitting up on top of the hill, back away from the highway. they have the grain cart and tractor sitting right along the highway (she says they want everyone to see their shinny tractor....like "look at us"), the combine comes to the end of the field, drives past all the trucks, drives all the way down the hill to the highway and unloads into the grain cart. then the combine drives back up the hill and starts combining again. the cart goes and unloads into one of the trucks and returns back down by the highway. the combines next round comes all the way down from the end of the field again like last time except it turns around and then they drive side by side along the highway unloading on the go, cept the combine isn't combining anything as they are doing this, and twice the combine drove right past all them trucks so they could show off down by the highway! then the cart unloads in one of the trucks again! we laughed so much, I could sell tickets! as they worked their way back away from the highway more, then the combine would just dump into the trucks as they were way to far away from the highway then! they parked the tractor and cart.

Sounds like some very ignorant BTO /operators there,, About like around here, theres so many beans left in the fields, makes no sense

They wanted to keep you up on the porch,didn't want you out in the field pointing to all the grain getting seeded out the back.

If they had scantily clad girls he'd still be watching rather than posting

Heck they didn't wanna get the darn tractor dirty

Gee, were there any TV cameras around?? Amazing how some guys can seemingly afford to waste that much time. We do 120 acres corn/day 8 rows at a time, and are usually one of the first ones done in the area. And then I hear how many beans are still in the field with snow on the way and it makes me sick. How fortunate they must be.

That would've been a neat time to have a video camera. That's hilarious!
