Nancy Thomas, probably a neighbor to you, is my aunt. My mother is her younger sister.
Before you ask, I have no blood relationship to Deane.
How far are you from them?

They are about 2-3 mile west of me. Dean would often stop at the local welding shop and could often tell some good jokes. I am at the east end of the wind towers and have none on my farm Tom

That's not vintage. Seems like just yesterday I was doing something like that. Did it back in the fifties. Operated a Fox eight knife with a Leroy engine chopper being pulled by a Cletrac tractor. Was blowing it into a stake Chevy truck. This was marshland so there was no stopping the truck unless you wanted to sink in the soft marsh soil.
Up until a few years ago a local farmer had a corn chopper, but not the trailer. His daughter would ride along side of him with a truck to catch the corn. I can remember them being just off a bit, and the corn completely missing the truck for a ways. This was a favorite field for geese on their way south. Actually there were a few farmers doing it this way, and it always made for good hunting in the fall!
Very little waste with the trailer.

Out here in the San Joaquin Valley of California a lot of corn is grown for silage for the dairies. It is chopped with huge high horsepower self propelled choppers. It is blown into ten wheel trucks with forage boxes. I have seen as many as 5 or 6 trucks working to keep up with the chopper. I don't know how far they are hauling but probably not far. None are standing still.

The farm south of me had one of those with the Detroit Diesel engine until the 80's. All the silage hay and straw for 40 cows plus young stock went through it. Saw one on a dealer lot once with a chevy gas engine. I think it had the odd shaped rocker covers like the 348 or 409 engines.
