Roll down your window and you still can't see.

We don't have a bucket lift truck but we do have a scissor lift and a pickup.

I guess OSHA doesn't come out to farms often

Nope OSHA doesn't regulate us at all.

nice

awesome

I got a shout out in the most recent FTN for sending these pictures to jazz hands. It's right at the beginning of the show.

Nice

That's a really nicely done picture

Cleaning corn. Eventually we'll get this cleaner installed into the leg system but we had to rig up a temporary system.

I had to clean a dead cat out of the fan compartment of a combine today. To answer your first question yes it did go through the fan while the fan was running. Farming wasn't very fun today.

Wise men know "grain isn't vegan"

Yeah look at all these dinosaur bones I've burned.

Sunflower harvest.

Sunflowers are our most dangerous crop. They are very dry and produce a lot of dust. When we saw this smoke on the horizon we were worried one of our neighbors lost a combine. Luckily it was just someone burning tires.

Fire is such a concern that our service truck pulls double duty as a fire truck with a 600 gallon water tank.

Sunflowers are oily as well, no?

Depending on the variety some can be very oily.

Generally speaking though the dust is what starts on fire.

Who sees it?

The deer?

Dust particle fires/explosions are crazy.
I caught an episode of Modern Marvel's and they talked about this grainery explosion in the 70's. Absolutely crazy.

There's a video of it somewhere.

@Der Seeteufel - SD awesome I heard that and actually wondered if it was you. Nice!

What do you think that would do to a tractor tire?

Found it out in one of the sunflower fields.

Dumbass animals, always dying and crap

wow thats so pretty!

I think Molly prefers the quadtrac. More room to curl up and nap.

Beautiful

Guys it's over an hour after sunset and overcast. All I can see is what's in my light and the combines off in the distance. For some reason tonight feels spooky.
