bucket list - help someone harvest grain - drive the tractor with the grain wagon.

I agree, but would like to add that the size of the equipment or the size of the crop doesn't matter either. It's the love of seeing things grow. I think I spend as much time in my food plots as I do in my garden or anywhere else.

DITTO!
Did that in '95- for a college friend in eastern Washington- I drove combine and my 15 year old son drove wheat truck- 2 weeks, hard work but wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
Then came home the day after Labor Day, to news of layoff of 1/3 of the work force at Farm Credit. Started up the law practice the next March (after looking for honest work in the meantime), been at it ever since.

Come on up to WI! As soon as the fields are solid enough, (LOTS of rain in the last 9-10 days) I'll be combining oats. Won't be working on corn until Nov.

All I have to say is which company is still in business? I worked at Deere for 33 years, but I have 4 different colors of tractors!

This tale is about driving the grain wagon with a green tractor, following a red combine with a green corn head. At least I have two of the colors covered and its tractor related.
The first time I ever drove an articulated four wheel drive tractor was driving an old loose jointed 8630 Deere with duals pulling a wagon beside a combine dumping on the go at 6 MPH. I was zigging and sagging with the front of the tractor weaving and wagging just a few feet from the end of the corn head. I'll never forget that experience till the day I die. That outside front dual could have pulled itself right over the end of the corn head if I would have twitched at the wrong time. Jim

I wish more of the younger farmers around here felt that way, they've gotten really spoiled the last few years with above average yields and great prices, all most all of them are starting out farming the land their grandfathers pour countless years of blood sweat and tears into, only to take it over from daddy who worked about a third as hard as grandpa did. Now theyre in a rush to get the crop in and head to the lake until spraying season then back to the lake until harvest and after harvest head to the dealership and trade for new tractors and combines, get a new pickup and the wife whatever she wants then off to Arizona until things start to thaw the following spring.
