Corn went from waist high to ankle high and roads are washed out everywhere.
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.
Damn so this year’s crop is almost entirely destroyed?
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.
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.
Damn that sucks. Is there still work to be done on the farm for you?
@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.
@Der Seeteufel - SD are you serious? That’s it?
@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.
So sorry man.
This field...
Looked like this field yesterday.
This used to be a wheat field.
This is a different corn field.
Definitely won't be any women in this wheat field anytime soon.
No words bruh
I'd post more pictures but it's just more of the same for miles and miles.
😢
The other day I found some wild wheat growing on the side of a trail
*urge to cultivate*
@ThisIsChris You should go back in a couple of weeks and check that wheat. If it appeals to you, you could probably harvest that and cultivate a small patch of your own. Obviously you wouldn't be able to do much with it but after a year you might be able to get a loaf of bread. It would be a pretty cool hobby project.
We got a new rotor for one of our combine headers. Probably won't get much use this year but at least I still have stuff to do. Installing this thing is going to take a lot of work.
We're replacing the conveyor belts.
We actually don't have the bands that link the ends of the conveyor belts. So this project is on hold for the time being so I went up on the scissor lift to get a couple more pictures.
@Der Seeteufel - SD that sounds like a great hobby project. We were driving through some corn fields today, it was compelling
I just got done pulling the plates out of a 24 row corn planter only to have the 36 row planter pull into the shop.
It's a good thing I'm not afraid of heights.
Harvest has begun
@Der Seeteufel - SD how’s the arm?
It's good. I've got full use of it as long as I don't bump into anything.
