Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

sitting at the ATL tag agency... getting excited to be close to back on the road again, even if it isn't in my own truck yet!

 

what's the latest update on your truck?

 

Cowdoc where is it that you live?

I would rather haul rice then cut it. We use to cut rice with a pair of Massey Ferguson combines and when it was muddy we would put tracks on them what a pain. Thank god the boss decided to spend the money and bought a pair of John Deere combines with FWD.

 

Wheathauler it is drizzly rain down here and is supposed to be that way all week. So much for washing my truck and trailer Saturday.

 

Been busy, I am at home most of this week, got to do jury duty starting tomorrow. They won't pick me because I won't answer their questions like they want them to be answered.

 

Its 65 and absolutely beautiful here today, like yesterday. One truck made 2 trips to town hauling our own beans (4 miles), the other truck sat and looked pretty all day. Not enough people cutting around here to need trucks. I mowed and weedeated the yard and checked my phone every 15 minutes, but nothing. Chance of rain tonight and tomorrow, great.

I was on jury duty a couple years ago in the summer for one week, 6 different trials, but had to show up each morning to see if you'd be picked. I was too nice, got picked on one of them that was a trial for a speeding ticket, I should have told them to have him pay the fine and quit wasting our time!

 

Big John I live in Walnut Ridge, AR. The farm is out east of town towards Light up and down the Cache River. I love working out there. Desolate,quiet, and peaceful. Lots of eagles and hawks. One big Eagle's nest in a big Cypress on a slough off the river. We also see deer and raccoons bout every day.
Mrs. Bullhaulers wife we don't stage it per se. This year there was some rice planted in early April then the rain set in and we couldn't plant anymore til mid June. Unless the rice is salted it has trouble maturing out this late cuz it's too cool so alot of it is being cut green. We pretty much salt ours so it will dry down. It's been raining alot lately. I did get stuck once yesterday. Our IH 9400's have positrac and that helps alot.
The beans around here were mostly planted in July and they're not maturing out either. It's been a very challenging year for the farmers around here. Much more normal year down in Luzeanna.
Mrs. Bullhauler if you are on 63 tween Hoxie and JTown when you get to Sedgwick we've been working bout 1 1/2 miles north of there.
