Do you really think the world's largest and most profitable farm's haul combines over a wooden bridge like that?

That's not even legal in Brazil or Argentina or Uruguay.

Pretty sure that's somewhere in Africa...

That's SF3!!!!!! During the flooding years....homemade bridge to cross a normally dry ravine.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself, you can handle it!

Regardless of where it is, I would like to know how they rescued the combines and trailer. Can't see any easy way to do it. Any link to where you found the pic? I tried a google image search but google thought it was a tree, reasonable assumption, they are green.

See that would be my luck move to Brazil load up the machines and the dam bridge break.

We just drive through water like that.

Hahahah

Ha, Pic is actually of saskfarmer moving north of the valley during a wet harvest. Had to build his own bridge cause government one washed out.

He and a couple of neighbors salvaged some lumber from an old grain elevator. Luckily they bag everything cause there is no way that bridge would have stood up to hauling 1000s of tonnes of grain back over it!!!! Next time maybe try a stone crossing.

Some more fun facts on south america.

Brazil has 2,000,000km of roads under 10% are paved.

Canada has 1,000,000 km of roads just over 40% are paved

Argentina is 240000and 65000 so about 30%. Not bad

No wonder Brazil has huge issues moving product to ocean.
