While truckkng grain, losing my bearings in the field at night and kinda not knowing where I was for a bit...especially on the quarters that had bushes on them.

Flashing the combine lights to let the trucker know you're full.

Holy cow yes no cab on 410 Massey combining barley I m sure the wind changed the wrong way each swath. Shirt done up almost can't breath. But when the wind right the old straight pipe and the cool night breeze what an experience the noise the smells I can feel it like yesterday.

City relatives come out helping out trucking and augering into square bin and hauling and hauling. I said hey how much in the second bin? Oh we Haven't fillled the first one. Hahaha went to yard and grain runnning out the back. City folk!!!!hahaha funny until picking it up with no grain vac.

Neighbors helping neighbors don't even have to be asked.

A little further back hauling grain in no hoist dumping with the lift at the elevator Always some other neighbor there to chat with.

Baling hay riding the stooker for dad. There's a nice job on a hot day!! Hahaha

I remember seeing many more equipment lights out in the fields even though they weren't much brighter than a candle. More neighbors....now "crews" come in and clean off square sections in short order...then they're gone.

Way more yard lights.

Truckers reading books using the cab interior lights or flashlight.

The orange "glow" of the exhaust manifold of the old gas powered engine of an IH 403... (NO CAB...**** me...had the reddest eyes in school----not "high" either).

Wooden bins and seven inch augers(even remember the six inch). One and three ton trucks.

Combines crawling around the fields. ....had to line them up with a power pole to see if they were moving at times.
