@PineValleyDigital Thanks for the comment! I didn't know I'd be doing video of harvest that day and just saw them while driving around with a couple of cameras. I wish I'd had time to show more of what's involved in harvest like you did in your clip which was very good. I was close to your area in June, 2010, and I was very close to Peru a few days ago. I'll be looking at more of your video......
Nice video. I drove a truck beside a harvestor one summer for about a week almost 50 years ago. Equipment was a lot smaller then, that's for sure. I was born in Kansas, and I've lived a lot of places since I left there after highschool, and I gotta tell you, I have never missed it once.
@jggrow well that's the difference between a farmer and farm hand!!!! i was born and raised on the family farm in new mexico, and i been gone from there a few years, and there's not one day that passes that i don't think and miss all the hard work. even the smells of the equipment,
@larryjosanchez I get your point. I did the work and enjoyed it when I was a kid. But I moved on. So, how many acres do you have under cultivation now, and how has the big drought affected you?
Thank you! Parsons is down in the far southeast corner of the State. One of the sites I checked indicated it's 276 miles from Bunker Hill. Lawrence is almost straight east and the site shows it's 196 miles between the two points. There is a large "wheat belt" that runs through the center of the USA from Texas up into Canada. The cutting in Texas started some time ago. Harvest crews start there and move north. I'll have to do a little research on wheat growing in Sweden. Thanks again!
Great camera work on your part. Excellent driving on the combine and tractor drivers part. Thanks for sharing
BTW, my grandfather was from Peru, Kansas
