We got to see the 2017 LaRosh wheat harvest film premiere at the theater in Smith Center KS today. I think this is the sixth year our son has done this and it has been interesting to see his progress.

For those of you who are interested in such things, this is the edit board for about the first minute of the film. He had over 16 hours of video to make this short film.

I remember the old days when we would take a load to the mill and wait while they checked the moisture. I got on a combine a couple years ago with a friend and the machine was checking the moisture as were were combining wheat. It also showed a map of the field and was showing the bushels were were getting in each section. It showed what we had combined and what was left. Darn good GPS in those machines.
The crop dusters also have great equipment. When you run out of spray it shows on the machine. You go get another load and it knows right where to start spraying again. Modern technology is great for them. Crop dusting is a lot different here on the Eastern Shore than out west. There are lots of electric wires and woods. They all have wire cutters on the wings. Some can handle a pretty good crash. Saw that where a plane engine stalled and the plane went into the woods. By the time help arrived the pilot was out of the plane and he was fine.
