Not many miles – but a lot of trips

An old Montana sight

 

Wheat coming out of the back of “Frank”

This gives you a good idea of how it’s done. The truck is backed to the auger on the ground, which moves the grain to the tall auger which dumps the wheat in the bin.The farmer we’re cutting for has grain bins very close to the acres that we cut today. I didn’t put many miles on “Frank” today but I sure made a lot of trips from the field to the bin! I even got a couple of pictures for those of you who don’t understand what happens when I talk about putting the wheat in the bin.  It wasn’t a hot day today in Montana so standing out in the sun wasn’t so bad. It’s when it’s 100+ that makes “” the wheat miserable!This is the grain bin I unloaded into all day. I think it’s brand new.

Looking out the door of elevator #2

This shows the stacking of the wood planks and how the walls of the old elevator were built.
