      Do the farms own all that equipment? I apologize since I'm from Europe and we have very small fields here. How does it work? Do they lease the machines for the harvest? Cause in my country everyone owns their equipment and I cant even imagine someone owning 2 of those things let alone 6 or how many they have...

      @@sgtbigpoop8559 not all but the majority of the largest operations are still family owned in the United States. Also there are some pretty large custom crop firms. I’m not sure about Canada. It’s actually very hard for small farmers in the United States now. New equipment is so expensive and sluggish commodity prices have made it impossible for the small guy. Small farms have sold out to larger ones that have cash flow and equity in land to purchase the struggling smaller farm. It’s a shame I was a small dairy farmer in my late teens and early 20’s. But I do respect the large farms and always thought the large farm equipment was cool. Was always a dream of mine to have a large farm in Montana.

    Love ,love ,love your philosophy on the yeild monitors and sensors , certainly good tools but you still get paid by what goes across the scale and the moisture test that comes out of that load !!! 50feet would never leave the lot in Illinois most everything over 20 gets trailered most of the time !! So many machines that you have a traffic jam in the lot is a fairly unique problem I'd think but pretty fun and impressive !! Keep these coming and thanks a lot !!!
