Images of the 2007 Harvest Pg 5

A Few Views from the Combine and other interesting photos

As the day begins Combine Number 4 is clean and ready to haul its header out to the fields. In all the views

this Webmaster has examined, it comes across that the cleanliness of the equipment speaks loudly to the

sense of pride and the quality of the services this organization provides. This is truly a team dedicated to

providing the highest quality of service.

Once in the field, these are views from the operator's cab of a combine taken as it heads to the field to continue the harvest.

Here's how it looks in the field. These combines have straw choppers thus the dust being expelled from the back.

Not all fields are flat. Here is a terraced field in Kansas.

With the tractor and grain cart following close behind, here's how the action looks at the combining site.

Day's end.

Webmaster's insert as the caravan proceeded north across Nebraska to South Dakota. This is McCook, Nebraska

going over the Burlington Northern - Santa Fe Railroad main line.

Since this web site is based on the WW II canteens, and there was one at McCook where the troops

were served, here's a couple of paragraphs of history.

The canteen was made up of volunteers giving up their time and providing donated food to the hundreds of thousands of troops on trains passing through on the way too and from the two fronts of WW II. It was started June 5, 1942, to be able to maintain canteen service for troops passing through the city. When troops stepped off the train for a 10 minute stop, workers would funnel them though the south depot doors, past the counters where they would have the magazines, fruit and candy, then they could stop and get a cup of Kool-aid which was mixed up in cream cans on their way out the west depot door and back onto the train. Later they added pop-corn balls and sandwiches. All food was prepared in the homes and much of it was given from very limited foods that were rationed to civilians during WW II. The volunteers were there around the clock for almost four years to cheer on the troops. A profound humanitarian gesture. For more information on the canteens CLICK HERE

This is a composite of two photos showing a portion of the equipment sitting at a truck stop. Clean and well maintained equipment

is only part of the pride of this custom harvester. Their crews are cross-trained and know how to handle many pieces of equipment

and multiple tasks from routine maintenance to washing the equipment to setting up the combines for optimum harvest.
