Working on concrete for a change
Smaller mesh too keep farm dogs straying out on the highway

The last five days have been dry there’s been a good time lately for grass it’s
Grown like hell the dairy boys have been chopping grass for silage
And round baling they used quite a bit of winter feed late summer when the drought was on

1”-3” of this stuff is going to put a halt to harvest & anhydrous application. If it was the dry powdery stuff it wouldn’t be so bad but these are big wet flakes. The bottom falls out on temps for a couple days after this moves thru.

We are seeing much the same stuff right now. If it is cold will that give you a shot at harvest? Kind of like drying clothes by freezing? Then the question will be will you be able to drive around without getting stuck?

I’ve had snow destroy beans. Lost a good bit of money 10-15 years ago when it melted it pulled the whole plant down so flat I couldn’t pick them up

I think if it melts it will freeze up nice & we can run until it starts getting slimy, then the machines will just slide around. The snow needs to be off of the ears & leaves or it makes the guts of the machine sticky & goobers up the sieves & a lot of corn gets carried out the back & if the shucks are wet it often times “butt shells in the gathering chains & you lose a lot of corn thru your gathering chains onto the ground.

I have seen a lot of beans around here get flattened by heavy wet snow.

I’ve never witnessed it but I have actually heard of it. Pretty rare.

I don’t think he’s confused tho, he was doing his call to the hens when he has found food for them, so I think he was just genuinely concerned about the egg getting cold and the hen needing to get in there and tend it lol

 

[JugHead27]

Either way the eggs been fried up now so jokes on him
