Day 183 - And the work goes on . . .

The wheat has been harvested and now the straw is being baled. This baler (red machine behind the tractor) throws the bales into the wagon and as the wagon gets full, occasionally one bounces over the side. While one farmer is baling, another has begun applying "natural" fertilizer. While I was waiting for the spreader to get closer, there was a grinding noise and he stopped to investigate. Apparently something broke, as he drove tractor and spreader back toward the barns.

"Cool beans!" You captured a bale in mid-air!
