What were they farming?

That's not a combine, it's a forage chopper.

I don’t farm, I just guess on a lot of this stuff My wife grew up on a farm and I know more about this stuff than she does.

I've never seen a unit like LouNY shows in post#6. They grow RAPE/CANOLA around here. You can see the fluorescent crop for miles. It's fluorescence will show on the overcast skies. I've never seen a crop of rape being harvested.

If I remember correctly, in Trouble with Tribbles, it was quadra-triticale...so a tetraploid version of the wheat-rye hybrid??

Chopping triicale for silage?

I think I grew up calling that Timothy. But the people who used the term were wrong.
