Picture of the Day for August 21, 2013

Farm machinery has its own type of artwork. This inner circle of the Case Steam Tractor rear wheel makes an interesting pattern. But it isn’t a wheel that you would want to run over your foot as the wheel is five and a half feet in diameter and two feet wide and the steam tractor empty weight is 24,000 pounds. You can see the full wheel on Monday’s picture.

Picture of the Day for July 30, 2012

The sun is shining on the start of another work week and for farmers that might mean combining oats, baling hay or milking cows. But most of them didn’t have the weekend off so the work days just continue rolling one after another.

The method of farming work has changed over the years becoming more automated but I can still remember my great grandfather using milk cans when he milked his small herd of dairy cows.
