    I’m currently working harvest and it’s a fun job. I drive truck and on average I’m hauling 440 bushel a load and sometimes I take 15 loads in a day. We have 45 foot headers on the combine and have bankout wagons to go into the hills where the trucks have a hard time getting to and fills up to then fill up our trucks. It’s long hours and usually no days off unless it rains.

    As a former FFAer and 4her, it's cool to watch the old demo tapes of farming in the 40s to the 90s. I was born in 2009, and our farm runs allis chalmers equipment.

      That’s definitely not a GMO wheat variety. Didn’t exist until recently.
      In October 2020, Argentina approved the world's first genetically engineered wheat for cultivation and consumption
      We have a few growers here in the Canadian prairies that produce Red Fife,Einkorn,Emmer,etc for specialty flour companies.

      Yea that is not GMO wheat. We still do not grow GMO wheat in Kansas and we probably never will because too many of the countries we export to would not accept it. The wheat is most likely Turkish Red wheat from Ukraine or a dwarf variety which is not a GMO but the result of selective breeding.

      @@davidagostinho1807 dude it is Kansas. It does not get much rain and back then especially when the tillage practice was to use a oneway, you don’t conserve much moisture. The wheat does not grow tall at all. It does not matter if it is Einkorn wheat or Spelt. I have grown those in test plots on my farm and they did not get very tall at all either because of moisture. Hybridization is also not some lab thing and neither are dwarf wheats. Hybridization occurs naturally in nature and is just the cross pollination of two different breeds of the same crop. Dwarfism in plants is also a natural genetic defect and does not need to be created in a lab. Plant a field and you will find some dwarf plants. Then just select the dwarfs and replant them. It is not some boogie magic science.
