The American Farmer

The American Farmer Link – by Sandra J’s Photography

Visiting the mid west in the fall, especially Iowa, you are bound to see the combines running as the corn and beans need to be harvested.

This individual in the video below is someone we know and I asked him if we could make a video and take a few photos as he was combining at sunset. I gave him the video and photos, he has never seen his hard work looking from a drones perspective. You can see the corn rows are very straight as well.

Years ago, I knew a farmer that always drove around the countryside, after he planted all his fields. Just to see if his neighbors’ rows were straight. Just a thing farmers do I guess.

I am trying something new here with this video. I will see if it works after this post is live. I entered my video right into a block here on word press, which should show up below, hopefully. So that you can see the video right from reader and not having to go to the web site itself.

I also imbedded the video from my you tube account below, which only shows up on my page site, just incase it did not work above. 🙂

Watch this video on YouTube.

    1. It does, it was quite exciting standing at the end of the field and having the combine come out from the corn and turn around in front of me. Being sunset made it even better.

  1. Great video Sandra! The statistics were impressive. One of these falls you need to head east to see harvest time in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. I grew up watching a John Deer combine harvest corn on one farm while down the road a string of Belgian horses pulling a binder harvested the corn on another farm.

    1. I definitely have to do that. There are a lot of Amish around my sisters as well. I used to raise draft horses, so watching them work a field is always a beautiful sight.

  2. Excellent work, Sandra. Reminds me of how the Lord may see our work and lives, whether they are straight and true or maybe a tad off. May we all continue to try to excel for Him who did so much and continues to do so much for us. He is worthy. His love is everlasting. May we all receive an excellent harvest. Blessings

  3. Thanks for the video, Sandra. I grew up on a very small farm. The days of pulling all the machinery with a tractor. The land gets in one’s blood. Just watching the video was reliving some of my youth. Some very long and fruitful days. There is an unbelievable satisfaction (to the soul deep) in the harvest, especially when all the work is done before snow flies. Then comes the season of going through all the machinery in maintenance for planting starts.

    1. Yes, it is quite the life. Some of our younger generation will miss out on working the land and working on your own tractors. It is hard work, but very rewarding. Putting up hay was my favorite thing. Nothing like the smell of fresh cut hay.

    1. I never knew what sugar beats looked like. Very interesting. I love watching videos like this on how things are harvested, farm equipment and such.

    1. Yes, when you are standing next to them as they come down a row and turn around in front of you, they are massive. And this one is actually one of the smaller ones.

    1. Thank you for letting me know, I am still working on it. The videos just don’t want to play in reader but they will on my web page. 🙂

    1. Thanks Ray, it seems to work for some folks and not for others. That the videos don’t show up in reader, just a link. So I have been trying different formats to figure it out.

Love to Hear from You
