That scar is 3/4 the length of the State.

South Dakota isn't exactly the size of Rhode Island either.

@Der Seeteufel - SD yikes did that harm people's farms?

2018-07-24 18:14:53 UTC  

Yeah it destroyed more than 15,000 acres just on the farm I work on. The reason you can see the lines is because basically everything is dead along that 420 mile swath. @ThisIsChris

@Der Seeteufel - SD I am sorry to hear about the farm you work on.

2018-07-24 18:30:44 UTC  

Luckily we had insurance to cover most of it. Rather than losing 5 million dollars this year my boss should break even. That's just the reality of farming. This was a once in a lifetime storm though.

Farming tire tech I learned today. This tire has big tread that grips the soil at low pressure, then if you inflate it to high pressure, only the center of the tread contacts the ground, making for good fuel efficiency and tread wear when driving on pavement.

We actually do that with our normal tires. It probably isn't as effective as this new tire is designed to be but we do increase our tire pressure if we are going a long way down the highway.

I'm driving the grain cart today.

This cart can carry about 80,000 lbs of wheat.

I think this is the last load for tonight.

2018-07-25 04:19:20 UTC  

Oh and if anyone is wondering what that kink in the reel on the combine is. That's what happens when you don't pay attention and hit a rock. That was from when I was driving it the other day.

2018-07-25 04:20:11 UTC  

Luckily I was able to hit the E stop before the combine ate it.

2018-07-25 16:16:51 UTC  

This is why you wear a mask when sweeping out bins. This mask was new when I started 30mins ago.

@Der Seeteufel - SD ask for a respirator, homie

2018-07-25 18:25:16 UTC  

The mask actually works just fine. It's relatively large particulate. I have a respirator for chemicals.

2018-07-25 18:59:18 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD is it true that you can "drown" in a silo?

2018-07-25 19:16:20 UTC  

Yeah. You should never enter a bin while loading or unloading because you can be buried or sucked into the grain. You also have to be careful when entering a bin that has been partially unloaded because the top layer can crust over and form a void. You don't so much drown as get your lungs crushed by the weight of the grain but you suffocate just the same.

2018-07-25 21:55:29 UTC  

Ouch.

2018-07-25 22:42:32 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD I've seen a lot of guys recently wear those masks when mowing their big lawns. Glad to see people are getting wiser about PPE.

2018-07-26 00:15:47 UTC  

Never thought of that. Good idea. I have 2 acres to mow.... thanks

Picking up chicks? @William Russell

2018-07-27 15:56:56 UTC  

Dumping them at their new home. You have the best pics btw @Der Seeteufel - SD

2018-07-27 16:46:52 UTC  

Thanks. It's pretty easy when someone lets you use millions of dollars worth of their equipment.

I seen an illegal try to climb up the wrong side of a ladder today

2018-07-28 00:11:16 UTC  

We're moving on.
