Some pictures from last year. Hard to show how steep a hill really is with a picture. This hill is about a 40 degree slope.

[image] [image][image]![[Linked Image]](http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af99/BluMtn700/109_zps46082f44.jpg) [image] Got things working good yesterday with only one combine having a minor hickup and still managed to get 24 semi-loads in.

We just got back from ND yesterday. The small grain crops up in the Dakotas look really good so far. The row crops look great, now if jack frost doesn't get them....otherwise silage is the word.

Actually these are Rayco levelers. And they add about 125,000.00 to the cost of the combine. I prefer the Hillcos but they do not level as far over.

Blu- I spend a little time out by Dayton every year. Every time I see those hills and the equipment working the slopes I get puckered up.
Some steep country for sure!

Are you guys all down on the equator or wtf?
Our grain crops are still green and growing. Only thing cut up here so far is the grass seed crops (mostly rye and bluegrass).
Something clever here.

The world does not revolve around Poland, sir. Out west they plant everything July 1st and harvest July 29th. That's how they doos it out here. Travis

The TV reported that Kiowa got 5" of rain last night. Are you keeping your head above water? Everything OK?

We didn't get that much. Maybe 4 inches the last 3 days. It was enuff to wash out all my watergaps on my fences and the road in, is in bad shape. Can't get a car in, but pickups can make it. At least the wheat was put up before all this chit hit......

Our crops in northern North Dakota are just filling. Look to be very good if nothing happens. Finally got some dry and warm weather which will help. ED K
