Helped our son get started with corn today. I got promoted-demoted?? to truck drive so I took some pictures. First one are opening up the field-son is running his-1989 9600 combine with a 8 row head and my wife. Jeanine is running grain cart. Two of the grandkids didn't have school today so they rode along. Pictures on highway are me driving and coming up to the alcohol plant at Fairbank Ia. which is 10 mi. from our place. Every load gets probed twice as the one picture shows- then they sent me to dump at the pile they are making. The conveyer unloads a 1000 bu. semi in about 5 minutes---impressed me. They put it up last year and it holds 2.3 million. The picture of the green gravity box sits by the scale shack and is what they dump the corn in what the probe gets---they probe before you weigh so it is all free corn for them-don't know if it goes for the employ Christmas party or it goes in Poet's pocket. It was a interesting day--everything is all computerized. ----sorry I have that one picture twice and for some reason I am to dumb to figure how to get rid of the one....Tee
