Loading trucks is pretty boring so I'm just talking a bunch of pictures.

Since this server is ment to be informative I thought I show you how we know how much weight we have on the truck. This gauge measures the pressure on the air bag suspension. We're shooting for 80psi

The pup doesn't have air bags so we just look through the windows and guess.

@Der Seeteufel - SD so you all don't have any animal crops out there?

2018-06-26 19:27:01 UTC  

We don't do livestock on the farm I work on but there are 4.32 cows for every person in South Dakota. There are cows everywhere. This corn is going to a stock yard to feed cattle before they go to market.

2018-06-26 19:29:50 UTC  

That's cool. Glad you're feeding my beef, haha😁

2018-06-26 19:33:06 UTC  

When I was 18 I worked on the kill floor at Purnell's sausage. That was a different experience. Totally different than hunting. The Purnell's were are neighbors when I was a kid.

Do you all grow just corn, wheat and sunflowers?

2018-06-26 19:35:35 UTC  

Mostly. Sometimes we grow millet and a little bit of the dreaded soy.

2018-06-26 19:39:10 UTC  

Is that based on demand?

2018-06-26 19:43:41 UTC  

Yeah and weather patterns and crop rotation. It's actually pretty complicated how they decide what to plant.

2018-06-26 20:33:12 UTC  

We even use infrared satellite images to detect crop density and draft fertilizer profiles. We planted one field half sunflower and half peas last year and planted it all spring wheat this year. We used the satellite pictures to see we needed more fertilizer on the sunflower side of the field. We would have known that anyway but accurate fertilizer application can save us a lot of money over 1600 acres.

2018-06-26 22:18:43 UTC  

Make sure you wear a mask around the soy. 👗

2018-06-26 22:50:52 UTC  

Wow, that's crazy. Farming got real high tech. I'm so used to living my life like it's 1918, I've lost track of how far we've come😁 😂

2018-06-27 00:37:24 UTC  

I even wear a mask around corn.

2018-06-27 00:38:07 UTC  

Mostly for dust though. Its really bad inside the bins.

2018-06-27 00:40:50 UTC  

I actually took this selfie for a girl I'm texting, but I have a doxx proof job so I'm not that worried about posting selfies.

Hail storm came through last night. Wiped out as much as 18,000 acres. My boss is not in a good mood today. I'm going to try and get some pictures later I think we probably won't work most of the day today.

At midnight there was a 30% chance of rain. This morning there were grain bins in the middle of fields. These are a few pictures one of my coworkers sent me.

2018-06-27 16:18:31 UTC  

Corn went from waist high to ankle high and roads are washed out everywhere.

2018-06-27 16:21:37 UTC  

Luckily we are going to probably be alright our farm secretary just got off the phone with insurance and we should be covered for most of it.

2018-06-27 16:27:05 UTC  

Damn so this year’s crop is almost entirely destroyed?

2018-06-27 16:29:09 UTC  

Yeah we got wasted. There is a 20 mile wide strip of ground that got devastated and a lot of our fields are right in the middle of it.

2018-06-27 16:31:44 UTC  

My boss sent me a snapchat of one of our wheat fields and said 2k18 harvest is in the books. It looks like someone took a lawnmower to it.

2018-06-27 16:53:59 UTC  

Damn that sucks. Is there still work to be done on the farm for you?

2018-06-27 17:22:24 UTC  

@Zyzz yeah there's a possibility that we can replant some and they can still use me as a mechanic but I'm guessing I'm going to get my hours cut back.

2018-06-27 17:24:01 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD are you serious? That’s it?

2018-06-27 17:30:24 UTC  

@Deleted User yeah. We have a hand who has been doing this for 40 years and he said he's never seen it this bad. We still have some fields to harvest but it's bad.

2018-06-27 17:32:20 UTC  

So sorry man.

2018-06-27 18:49:20 UTC  

This field...

2018-06-27 18:49:54 UTC  

Looked like this field yesterday.

2018-06-27 18:52:43 UTC  

This used to be a wheat field.

2018-06-27 18:55:06 UTC  

This is a different corn field.
