Combines largest wheat field

I remember as a kid reading in the Guiness book of records about a wheat field in the 1950's that was over 50,000 acres. It was located near lethbridge, Alberta and I would assume it was on the Blood Indian Reserve. There is one farmer now that apparently farms about 100,000 acres and another that farms about 60,000 acres of it. Don't know how big the fields would be, but I know there are not many roads or fences (the horses just roam freely).

how do you cut a field that long, do you lay it out in mile stretches or try the whole lengthIJ

The largest field I have cut is apx. 5000 acres with no fences in it. There are larger fields in the are. We are in Alberta

In the Guiness records book it lists one just a tad south west of lethbridge AB. at 10,000 acres. It's time to update that book since that one in Aus. that our buddy noted at 45,000 acres. Need to be going into that sucker with at least 20 machines with 42' heads.

my roommate at montana state said some guys he knew owned a few sections i a line they took out the mile roads etc... something like 4 or 7 mile rounds somewhere up on the highline august wieser rosholt, sd

Here is a picture taken near Byers Colorado. Think there is 20 CIH combines in one field. not sure how big it is.... http:__www.angelfire.com_ks_kburditt_20case.jpg
