Yall are prolly wonder'n what this guy has been up too, or... maybe he just fell off the edge of the earth while looking fo the other side. well, right now as most of you prolly already know, i'm living out here in Pa., good 'ol Lancaster County. i first moved out here a couple weeks after summer camps at BLC to help out this farmer dude where my brother in-law is milking cows. i've been out here helping this guy fer about 6-7 weeks now. The guy sows, grows, mowes, chops, and sells corn and hay and some straw, well, he doesn't xactly chop straw but he sells it. enyway he has 'bout 300 acres of corn that he sells to local amish farmers and thats where my job comes in. i would run along side the harvester with a tractor and cart, get filled up(refer to pix) and haul it to the famers place and unload it, many times over. you might think it would get old, and for some of you i know it would, but with what a person gets payed to sit in a tractor all day with all the comforts needed or wanted during the hot squelching days, it really didn't bother me at all. in fact, there were a couple days where i was sit'n in the machine for about 22 hours straight with a supper break in between, to sum it all up... FUN for this hoosier farmer brown. "what can brown do for you". u now what i mean!! now the harvest is perty much over with and i'm look'n for a mekanic job in Pa. that'll keep me busy til my job back in Indiana is ready for me in the spring. can't hardly wait til then!! see, i have some perty cool family members out here that'll let me stay in there house til they move back... that would be Ian & Gloria Dripp Fawcett, and of course there 'lil future farmer boy, Jeremiah. bout every weekend except when i went home for my little niece Emily's funeral, i've pretty much been keepin up with all the camp staff from 'round here that was up in canada this past summer, knowing all these fine folk and i guess that makes it that much harder to go back home, not that i dont miss ya'll hoosiers, cause i DO. it's like when i first left indiana to go north, it was hard to leave then, now it' the other way around. don't worry ya'll, some day i'll be back in the area can't think of to much else to say without being on here fer a couple more hours. Enjoy the pix!!! heres a cool sunrise!!!!
GOOD 'OL TURBO< HE CAME ALONG WITH ME TOO quite the travel'n pooch, just like his owner
Driving along side the harvester and fill'n up on a cool foggy morning.
This is what supper time consisted of, take a 'lil break out in the field and chill out!!!
This was a silo shot when we loaded up to go to Juniata County we had a job where we had to go 7 miles fro mthe field to farmers place!! unfortunatly i missed the oppurtunity to go with!!!
One of our last custom jobs of the harvest season, chopping hay.
