See that slow moving combine?
We don’t like driving it on the road anymore than you like following it.
But it’s necessary.
The land we farm is not in one giant piece.
Instead, it’s like a quilt – there are squares and rectangles in different locations that make up our livelihood.
We only transition when we need to. Fuel is expensive, and this isn’t a quick job, you know?
See that pickup truck behind the combine? This one is pulling a 30 foot corn head or soybean head. I’m the one driving this equipment.
I’m taking care to make careful turns and watching for mailboxes 😬. My kids might be in the backseat. Farming can be a family affair.
See that UPS driver and blue SUV following me?
They haven’t been able to get around me. We are going 15-20 mph but they are patiently following behind our convoy.
I appreciate these people. The ones who keep everyone on the road safe. Who keep calm and know harvest is only a season.
I’ll give them a wave as a thank you. I’m turning onto a different road soon and they can be on their way.
Thank you to those of you working together with us to keep the roads safe this fall.
We see you, and we appreciate you. 🚜💚
