Near these rows on the contour line is the Mississippi, Missouri divide. To the left, west in the picture, the water flows to the Missouri River. To the right in the picture the water flows to the Mississippi River.



A sunset thrown in.
A screw auger that shucked off a one year old bin stirring auger.

The best for last, the apple pie my wife made this morning.

I did not know that about the "State Divide" - very interesting.

It is a long line, we just happen to farm on some of it.

Watershed delineation boundary, cool

Used to digitize those out with digital elevation model and lidar. Break em down further into sub-watersheds. Even micro-sheds for gravity sewer master plans.

Is that field in one, or two Soil and Water conservation districts?

One I'm sure. We have done tiling, and terraces on both sides.

cool! looks like some good ground there, any loess involved?

I'm not sure, I'm to lazy to look it up. We have rocks if that tells you something.

The pie ain't bad!

How's the water supposed to know which way to flow it looks flatter than piss on a plate That's cool wabbi not a bad place to be in heavy rain when the water flows away in two directions. Nice looking land.

I'd love to have about a thousand acres of that dirt over here!

They are selling 160 acres this week. Better than our farm, under 10, 000 is cheap.

Some river music?

You are pie-wealthy Richard.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It runs north and south through the State. If you know where you are looking, you can see it from the air. If you take highway 44 west from the south side of Camp Dodge and go to Missouri Valley you will pass over it and there is a sign so designating the line. ON a map I believe it falls between Guthrie Center and Audubon as you are driving Highway 44.

In 1982 if you had a pile of land that cost you more than $2500 an acre, you went broke.

Hope you has a big slab of cheese on the side....state law in Wisconsin......

Sam Olson takes much better pictures. Sam makes work look like fun.

It breaks up some boredom, thinking what the fire might like in the evening. It is still work however.

Interesting Wabi,

But that's not topography. A gopher hole could change the course of a mighty river there it looks to me.

Pie. I like Pie. Your wife appears to do a good job on them too. Enjoy.

So how did the corn do on the divide?

Heard through a friend of my Dad's they were pulling 275 - 300 per acre on creek bottom ground south of Silver City.
Had to slow the combines down to 3mph.....

The corn is doing near 220 an acre. it's not as level as the pictures look. That is why we contour farm.
