Mystery solved.

Friday we started noticing this rust color all over the snow. Took a couple minutes to figure what it was. The wind shifted from coming out of the NE to coming out of the S. The neighbor has been drying crops for about a month now. With the wind shift all the corn shucks from the dryer are blowing from his place all the way over here on the other side of US20.
I'm not complaining, but I'm sure there are a couple of transplants who moved here will be. They have already complained about the dryers running 24-7

When I worked in a feed mill in the early 70's we ran a grain drier 24/7 everyday from about mid October until after Christmas. We dried a lot of corn.
 
My dryer is right on the edge of town also. Pretty sure Mickey D'S doesn't like the bees wings either. They are building a new Chrysler dealership right across the road. They better hope we don't have SE winds in the fall or they can wash cars everyday or they could buy me out, it is my retirement fund.
 
People bought new houses near a chicken ranch, then complained about the smell. Wasn't long the chicken ranches had to move. In a different town same thing about a scrap yard grinding metal for recycle. People complained about the noise. Scrap yard won on that one. Something about being grandfathered in. Stan
 
Bob, yes the stop sign is on US20. I don't know the total snow fall here but seams like after the first accumulating snow on the 9th, (see pic) we have had squalls and additional snow about every day. It has finally warmed up to 42F here today.
I will be moving some tractors inside this afternoon that have been setting outside. I sort of got caught with my pants down with the unusually cold weather and accumulating snow.

Yeah my dryer has been there 47 years, I'm grandfathered in also. People in town will say "Oh I hear you started drying", never any real complaints though. I only dried for about a week this year, used to be about six weeks or more. A lot less acres and much drier corn. When we drove home from church this morning my wife said to me " remember all the years we used to be still combining corn now" we were done before the first of November this year, first time ever.
 
We have a used car dealer next door. If the old man owner was here, he would be having a Hershey fit, but he goes to Florida in early fall. His son runs the place all winter and he is a pretty easy going guy.

Still lots of beans and corn standing in the fields around here. Farmers can not sell beans here if they are marginal on moisture level. The mills with roasters are all backed up.

Loren,

LOL! Around here, a lot of people call those little rusty bits "bee's wings".

Every week during harvest/drying... our church entryway gets a fine layer of bee's wings on the floor.
 
Here, large elevator pays car dealership across the road to wash dealers cars even though elevator has been there much longer. Up to the elevator to contain there own by product on there property.

Friend a mechanic at dealer says he would never buy a new car there that sat on the lot through harvest. All the red dog that blows out of the air ducts when he starts one.
 

Yupper on the transplants. We seem to get 2 types. The first is the typical citiot that buys a place out in the sticks and instantly starts demanding services and changes to make the new place just like the one he left. The other type buys a place and over stocks it with livestock they have no idea how to care for, fence in, house, etc.

Both types are a pain.
