Combine

As I sit here this morning getting some work done before preparing for the family to arrive I’m thinking of all the things I’m thankful for. My customers are one of them and the Sather Family is no exception. This is my 7th session with them and I enjoy everyone even more.

John and I headed out to get some combining images. Last time we did the flamer and we are going to try to document all the stages. The Sathers run an organic farm and I love learning more and more about it as I spend time with them.

Here are some of my favs. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and hug those beautiful kids for Ayden and I will you.

It’s like a big monster that just eat up the corn stalks…

… and spits out what it doesn’t want.

Shh we won’t tell where this is taken from, but it intrigues me so much how the machine pulls in each of the stalks and strips the ears off feeding them into the auger thingy (yes I know I don’t know the technical terms yet).

I always wonder what is going through John’s head when I sit or lay in the middle of the rows while the combine is coming right at me. I bet his hand is on the kill switch. I like this one as you can see the full load of kernals up to. And the arm ready to dump into a truck – if there was one there.

And the corn being dumped into the grain bin. Yeah you should have seen what I looked like when I crawled out of there. Someone should have gotten an image of me.

Just a corn image I really really liked.
