Images of the 2007 Harvest Pg 2

What is it?

Oh crap, I'm out of gas!

Combines leading the caravan. This is some serious harvesting!

Are those guys asking for a boat?

Is this departing Kiowa or Frederick?

One of the unique skeleton trailers used to haul combines.

The two field maintenance and fuel trucks

This is a million-dollar rig! Its another custom harvester hauling two combines on a single trailer.

Tommy in his off-hours in Oklahoma. Life is nice!

Dan in the comfortable air conditioned confines of his executive office - a Steiger STX 280 tractor.

Well . . . Do you spose he's also got his feet on the steering wheel? The Webmaster thought

at least a few of you might wonder what he looks like.

This is a sunset across the fruited plains at Russell, Kansas, June 19, 2007.

It was a great relief to be out from under the rains of Oklahoma and southern Kansas.

See, I told you Daniel liked something besides tractors and combines!

Here's the line-up for Russell, one tractor and grain cart, two combines, two grain trailers and a fuel/maintenance truck.

Look carefully at the shine, because this is where they start getting dirty in the lazy Kansas sun.

This is one of the more interesting photos to the WEBMASTER (aka Dan's Dad). As the sun sets across central Kansas a

storm was rolling in out of Nebraska. The two combines march a silent sentinel across a wheat field that drops off only beyond

some undefined distant horizon. The photo was taken on June 22 at Russell, Kansas.

After the storm had passed the last streaks of light pierce a calming night. The scene looks across a farm pond

east of Russell, Kansas.

Back to business. A typical day at the office for the Russell/Colby gang. Combines Five and Six run side by side

at Russell in a cloudless blue sky.

GOOD NEWS! The crews left the Kiowa / Nash area for dryer regions. By mid-June Daniel's crew went north to Russell, Kansas and the other gang headed north west to Garden City, Kansas to cut wheat. They have apparently not been disappointed. They are out from under the torrential rains devastating Texas, Oklahoma and eastern Kansas. Both crews continue west in the dry environs of west Kansas wheat fields. The first week of July they arrived on the high plains of desolate eastern Colorado, rejoining half the other gang for a week of harvesting the fruited plains of golden wheat. Hay guys back in Ohio. I've seen 90 acre wheat out here and 2,500 acre wheat fields! Can you believe that! Pictures as they become available.
