Picking beans! My first combine experience.

 

     About a month ago I was able to go with Brooke and Todd Tanner on a ride-along while they were harvesting beans.  I've always seen the combines in the fields, but never thought I'd have the opportunity to ride in one!  Todd picked me up along a side road in his tractor and grain wagon and took me out to the combine.  I climbed up into the cab where Brooke showed me the basics of this amazing machine.  I'm still a rookie, but I learned a lot about soybeans and the harvesting process.
 
     So interesting for someone who's only lived in cities!  
 
     I rode with Brooke for about an hour and found the process to be relaxing and strangely satisfying to see the rows and rows of beans being harvested and poured into the grain wagon. 
 
     I am loving my new city and all of these experiences!  Check out the photos!
