I read a report this morning that suggests that drought condition will move westward thru the Summer. We don't have deep subsoil moisture, but surface moisture is enough that a considerable amount of bottom ground will not get planted this year.
Never seen that done in the US. It takes too long to un-hook and re-hook. Usually the chopper never stops when cutting anything - corn, alfalfa, other crops for ensiling.
That guy is just annoying.
Those massive "mother bins" at the end of the field get me. I know they are necessary there because of the long hauls for the trucks but it is just another piece of equipment to keep the combines running.
That is an interesting system but without knowing what there conditions are like, its hard to see why they are used. Everywhere you travel to, you'll see agricultural things that are not done quite the same. I think its quite interesting to see the differences.
If there is any, even temporary delay of truck arrival, everything stops. The large cart allows a temporary delay without combine shut down.
My family has multiple trucks running back and forth so guys can stop to get lunch or break for some unknown reason. I imagined those carts were made to operate in soft soils where those trucks couldn't.
