    Great video, it shows what a lot of farmers are dealing with this year. You also did a good job explaining the brittle corn that was breaking, and how you had to get as much as you can before it is laying on the ground. There are no easy decisions, and you have to harvest to make a living.

    It's a rough life compared to the days of dairy farmers getting up at 5:30 AM to milk cows. Then moving the crop harvested the day before into storage and getting equipment ready until the fields dried out. Running tractors without cabs spending the day harvesting then milking cows again at 5:30 PM.
