Bad luck for someone

I passed by this burned up cotton picker the other day. It has been there awhile since the field has been plowed for sometime now. I'm surprised that the ins co has not had it picked up. But, a few years ago a harvester burned and sat nearly a year before it was picked up.

A few years ago, behind my brother's house, the farmer was shelling popcorn. The combine caught fire and burned completely. Corn was still popping in the bin almost a week later. Looked like a big snowdrift around the combine. It wasn't removed from the field till after the crops were planted the next spring.

Insurance company will will list it on a salvage auction site and sell it where it sits with the buyer responsible for loading. Cheaper than transporting it to a storage yard and then trying to sell it.

probably costs way more than it is worth to move it. Recovery+rigging+hauling. even if it is only five miles.

Sorry, I feel bad for laughing at someone's misfortune, but I can't help it. If only a reefer truck full of butter turned over nearby it would have been the perfect storm.
