Talking about driving a combine brings back so many memories. I grew up in Oklahoma and there was/is wheat everywhere. The combine crews would come in to town to cut the wheat about the middle of June. Yes, some farmers had their own combines, but many farmers elected to sub out the cutting. We had crews that came back year after year that we came to be really good friends with.

I've never driven a combine, but I've ridden in several. And I've driven the truck full of wheat back to town to dump at the elevator. My mom was the manager of an elevator so I've also worked there, weighing wheat and testing it for moisture and bulk.

Goodness! That was a long time ago!
