We harvested the last of October on some very golden days.
The combine went back and forth and left quite a dust trail in its' wake.
Boyd had this view taken from along the river.
It just so happened I had a conference in Logan and was heading home at the same time they were at Wheatland Seed near Collinston.
I stopped by and got to see the process in person. Here is the safflower being dumped out of the bottom of the semi.
It goes from the bin under the grate and is dumped in to this part of a long series of chutes and tubes.
This is the left over "trash" that they actually sell.
It ends up stored in these very tall silos. And, yes, someone has to walk to the top of this series of stairs and platforms to check how full the silo is.
More trash from inside the semi's trailer.
Now, we just need the price to double over night and I will sell. Fingers crossed!
Sorry about holding the camera wrong and creating a vertical video :(
