Give me a tractor any day compared to a combine. There are so many buttons to push and so many things going on at the same time in a combine. While you're cutting you have to let out the auger so you can empty into the auger wagon as it comes up beside you. You have to pay attention to where you're driving and to how full the auger wagon gets and you always pay attention to any unusual noises because that can mean a break down. There are alarms that go off for everything. It's really hard but after a while you fall into a routine and then it's not so bad. I've only started driving one in the last 3-4 years so it's all still pretty new. Every year it's like learning to do it all over again.

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!

I love living in a farming community, there's just not a whole lot do to...LOL. I would love to drive tractors and combines just anything really. I use to back the semi's to the docks to be loaded at Frito Lay.
