Hauling it home to the woodpile.

Quads, you must learn to slow down a bit!

I am surprised at how green your corn is (that which I was able to make out in the blur of speed!). Around here most of it is almost ready to pick. Just waiting for the moisture to come down a bit more. I might add that there is some very good corn this year around our place. Got in early with good moisture. Suffered in June but July and August we had must more than normal rains.

Soys are almost ready to combine too. Most white beans are done. Some beets have been pulled too.

Man;
You have a fast ATV.
Even on level ground mine would have taken a 1/2 hour+.
Is the maul up side down LOL
Very nice Vid

When is harvest time?

Wow, fun video. Great looking country. You really ought to have to pay to cut firewood and haul it home in surroundings like that.

No more Rockstar Energy Drink for quads.......

That was corn? I though some kind of silage.
Looked to short for corn this time of the year, the drought explains that (& the speed you were driving , the light got warped)

I was waiting for the quad to stop at the end and see a couple hitchhikers jump off the back end .......like a couple border collies or something

We had NO rain and 90+ nearly every day. The coons were starving. Even electric fence and trapping didn't keep them out of the corn this year. Neighbor who waters ahd over 800 plants this year, got 36 ears thanks to the coons. Popcorn she planted for me got left alone though...strawberry pops, small ears of hard red corn. I gave up on corn years ago...am in a woodlot, and the coons got it everytime, just as I was ready to pick. Did plant strawberry pops once, which, again, the coons left alone. A well meaning friend cleaned my garden of its dead corn and burned the debris while i was away for two weeks. When I told him it was popcorn, he looked at me and said, "It sure did pop well!" Looking forward to my first actual taste of strawberry pops this winter, popped of course on the PH.
Beans, tomatoes through. Winter squash vines dead, squash ready. Long growing year (since early April), finishing much earlier than usual. Won't have to worry about the frost killing things....

We too live in the woods. Coon did not used to be a problem until the fur market gave out. Now very few hunt them. So we find all spring, summer and fall a lot of road kill. As for them getting into the corn, we try to take care of that problem long before the corn is ready. We usually get about 30 every year and sometimes more.

The corn might not be harvested. Our drought was so severe this year that the non-irrigated ground crops failed. No hay, no corn, etc. I feel sorry for the farm that rented the fields from us, but they had it insured.

And the price of hay has skyrocketed here!

Neat video. It makes a good sequel to "direct from the saw camera". Do we see the start of a series here?
