The video say it is private. The pics are sure nice. Sounds odd, combining in Alaska. :)

Wasn't aware you could even economically grow grain in Alaska.

interesting video,
all i can think of is it looks like a dangerous place to take video,,

i knew a guy that lost both his legs in a combine accident,
he lived to start a jd dealership and was able to pass that down to
his family, and it's still going today (my employer!)

thanks, but just be careful up there!

So now you have me curious. I assume the straw is bedding for the dog teams? Do you distribute the straw along the Iditarod trail at the normal stoping points? Who are your customers, the teams or does the race itself buy the straw? And how is the straw distributed? Very interesting.

We just sell it to the mushers.
That's all.

Combining it at 50% moisture....:confused2:

Are those the same mountains in the background as your post on 9/26/2014? Snow in today's pics and frost on the stubble? :eek:

Hope you can finish it up soon as I suppose the grain doesn't continue to dry off much now.
