History's Harvest

I know it posted here last week on History channel's "Harvest", but did you catch this weeks? Whoever produces that drivel should have to clean the pig pen with a three tine fork.

While I can't fault the people the show is about I only hope they are not proud of History's end result. I thought it was misleading at best and very narrow sighted.

If they want to do their name justice they should dig up some history of harvesting not what happened last month.
 
I got a better TV question for ya. Why do people with perfectly good firearms jump in a mudhole and grab a wild boar by the lips? If I remember right- from the OLD history channel, hunting with guns became popular after a French king was killed by a wild boar... like- 600 years ago??? 'Reality TV' just isn't real.This is the horrible result of so many 1980's VHS video cameras falling into the wrong hands....
 
I watched it for the first time last night. I enjoyed what little of the farm work that was shown along with the landscape that I had not seen before. Since I missed the previous parts of the story, I am not sure what you have seen, but where I come from, we shared the load with the equipment that was still running with the manpower available. The father in Nebraska? with the New Holland must have had an easy night with nothing to do! I don't know if the young blond thing was the young guy's wife or sister, but what little instructions he seemed to think that she needed, would not have passed for adequate in my family either way!

About the only reality show I watched last year was Gold Rush. They had as much petty B.S. as what I understand was available on one of those idiot shows like Jersey Shore or the like. I just wanted to see what machinery the people had to work with and how they coped with adversity. And I am talking about the problems with the weather and the machinery. There have been soap operas on tv all my life and I have seen enough of them for as long as I might last into the future.
 
I liked where the old man plugged up his machine and had to quit so the kid had to stay out all night to finish the last 600 acres. must have been a big bin on his.... never saw him dump it... just ran all night with his eyeballs drooping over the steering wheel. lol
 
Yep, getting a grain cart stuck is NOT as big a problem as they made it out to be. Get a chain and pull it out with the combine!!! Been there, done that! Plugged up combine? Unplug it and get back to work. Didn't they say something about being down for three days because of it? The kid "saved the farm" because he combined all night? Amazing!
 
I have not watched any of this new "Reality " series.I don"t think ,from the comments that I have missed much.One of my favorites is "Wild Wings Alaska.I don"t pilot any more but my memory can relate to some of the difficult flying these bush pilots encounter.
 

Getting a grain cart stuck? We called them "auger wagons" in the rice fields way back when. I wish I had a dollar for every one I pulled one out or was pulled out myself. This was in black gumbo with a hard pan below it, ideal for rice, so you didn't fall through and bottom out. So pulling a stuck tractor or occasional stuck combine out was no problem, as long as the operator used a little common sense and didn't bury it.The only thing real in most of the "reality" series is 'Real'ity.

I find it quite enjoyable, I like watching it. And everyone says everythings fake, but who really cares? Entertainment is entertainment.
