I believe that is wheat country in general, but lentils could be there as well.

From a few weeks ago, the Zeorian Harvesting & Trucking in Montana doing wheat. I believe its winter wheat. I like her video's. The JD X9 has a 50ft head.

Mike Mitchel running an 40ft air real while combining red lentils in Saskatchewan CA. I know nothing about these air reels. Correction! Mike is going green while the rest of them are combining red lentils.

Well done presentation, especially for 1963. These were highly regarded combines and AC was a great brand until companies started cobbling each other up and killed it. The same with Oliver.

Go to 2:29 in this video to see the size of an ear of irrigated Nebraska corn. if you would have shown this to someone 50 years ago they would have said it's not real. But today it is.

And those 325 bu/acre yields of today could well be double that in the future. American creativity and determination keep making it happen.
