The farmer who rents the family farm was getting his beans in this weekend while I was around to deal with a HUGE tree that had fallen across the driveway and blocked access to the building site.
I took a little time to go check out how things were going before it got dark.
This reminded me of my late Dad combining beans on this same field in 1996 and I had some VHS tape of that:
Soybean harvest 1996:
Dad was using the 1968 Deere 45 he'd had since 1974 and he farmed 4x36" rows. That 45 was getting pretty worn by '96 but still going.
The renter is a bit more modern and has this 2004 Deere 9660STS. I don't know what width of head. I rode a 'round with him.
Soybean harvest 2018:
That 70 acre field got knocked off a lot faster than Dad would have been able to manage.
Looks like bean harvest is in full swing or near to in that area of Minnesota.
