Here is the harvest on the same section that the new combine below was cutting.....
Taken in 1925 in the same field west of Uncle Mike's home.
1932, Mom on machine, Calvin driving and Grandpa riding shotgun... Mom's job was to tell them when tank was full so it did not run over or spill out.
nice clean job, huh... haha... the worst was combining oats or still yet barley .... yuck...
yelp.. the contrast starts..haha.. Dad and Mannford Cook 1962 on Kastle Farm
Mannford was Dad's best friend and one of the greatest assets for us in a new land, having just moved here in 1960 from Yukon..
Dad is fueling the machine and this was the first combine my folks bought and paid cash for. It was a big deal in those days...notice the lack of ac/power steering/monitoring, satellite guidance, etc... and computer chips...
sharing again harvest photos from 2008 and before... this is about 900,000 dollars worth of equipment today... not see are the support vehicles...
that account for about another 250,000...
