Combines GlEANER PlANT TOUR IJ

[Silver_Bullet]

Yes, I have been through the plant in Hesston. And, I would like to go back again sometime. Some of the presses and machineing equipment they have there is quite impressive. I'm in the southern edge of Nebraska and we are right in the middle of harvest here. I talked to a farmer Sunday that lives about 20 miles to the north of me and they had not started yet so harvest is about 40 miles into Nebraska as of today.

I have been thru the plant and have lived 13 miles from Hesston all of my life. Until I went thru it, I had no idea that this awesome plant does what it does. It hasn't been that long ago that the Gleaner plant moved there from Independence. I run a Gleaner, but didn't know it was of the scale that it is. It's definitely worth going thru. It's neat to see a Massey, then a Challenger, then a Gleaner, and so on, roll off of the line. Marc

I'll finnish this weekend if the weather holds. Was your crop any goodIJ I cut 2 semi loads off of 400 acres yesterday, (some was left uncut). I did get into some better than expected irrigated wheat today, fortunately.
