A good drying day but the crop needs a few more like it before it will be ready to combine again. So it was also a good day to haul hay bales home. Don't want to leave the job til the cold weather when I'm riding an open tractor.

Since it was a perfect flying day and the leaf scenery still good I found time to take the drone up this evening and get a few pictures and
some video . My canola swaths on the right.

(quoted from post at 20:04:18 09/19/18) I am wondering what make and year that car is.
Its the same old 52 Merc that I have probably posted here dozens of times already. People will be getting sick of the sight of it but I'm crazy about the Mercury you know.

I assume you are central time zone? Do you use standard or "daylight saving"? What's the approximate time of the drone photo? Here in southern MN (CDT) we have sunset about 7:30 now. You must be about 600 miles north of where I am and your shadow is quite long. So I assume your drone photo time to be 8:30 if you're CDT. Am I close on the estimate? The shadow says the photo is looking to the south. Are the canola swaths a mile long or maybe a 1/2 mile? Hope the combining goes well when you get back to it. You always have nice photos and videos.

Hi Ron. I guess we are on standard time. Its the kind that stays the same all year round. Pic was taken between 6 and 6:30 and I never noticed what time the sun set but likely close to 6:30. Looking straight South and those swaths are only half a mile. Just behind and to the left of the camera there are 7 quarters (160 acre each) of canola. Quite a bit of it standing to harvest.
 
55-50 Ron. You would be amazed how the sunset is much later on the West end of a time zone to the East end of the same zone. About an hour. When I was driving cross country, if I was paying attention it was quite apparent. In Mn and Ia we are about in the middle of Central time zone! From the west Indiana border almost to the Colorado border is all Central. There are 24 zones worldwide,so they have to be an hour wide. I think the central time zone im Texas is quite a few miles wider than the central time zone in Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. That is because of the curvature of the earth.
 
I understand what you are saying, but I hadn't thought about it in any detail. I assume you are the same IA Roy who just had surgery after a fall into a shop pit? I'm one of those who prayed for you "behind the scenes". My roots go back to central Iowa - I have great grandparents buried at Rhodes.
