Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: harvester

A different version of a photo I posted earlier today . I may like this treatment better--but I can't see making a habit of this trick. This one, too, looks better in a lightbox: Please press Z. Thanks.

Harvesting soybeans turns the entire rest of the plant to dust. South of Mulliken, Michigan.

A dirty job; somebody's got to do it. The combine's just dumped part of its load into the orange trailer and has turned to make its next pass through the wheat. The chaff goes out the chute; the wheat stays in the harvester. I found this guy by keeping my eye out for the characteristic cloud of dust. There's a bigger truck waiting for it to arrive at the other end of the field. In the past three days nearly every wheat field in Roxand Township's been harvested. Clearly it's time.

My self-assignment this morning was to find a farmer harvesting wheat. No luck; best I could do was a handful of harvesters parked in mid-field, mostly after completing the job. This guy's behind the barn and house, on the edge of a half-harvested back forty. I'll try again, perhaps later today and certainly tomorrow.

Best large, at least in my opinion. One of my neighbors, out harvesting corn. Think I'll stick with my office job.

Soybeans, from harvester to truck....
