That right there is another problem with this show.When have you ever seen a storm destroy 10,000 acres of a crop?You might have a strip of that bad hail,or maybe a good sized patch of it,but its rare that you would see 10,000 acres all in one place destroyed by hail everywhere so bad you cant combine it.I think they tried on the whole show to hype everything about it. When the truck blew up and they were crying about how much they were going to loose,well they could go buy a straight truck like that for less than 10,000 dollars maybe less than 5000 dollars if they looked hard.I guess after spending 250,000 each for combines they cant afford tractor trailers. Id hate to think a Louisville Ford straight truck from the 70s or 80s maybe with a diesel engine, would cost so much that it would break a big operator like that!Besides that why not yank that engine out and put another one in?Plus the guy with the older New Holland was having trouble with it shutting down.What did he do the 200 days he wasnt on the harvest?The guys I know that have combines spend a couple of months working on them in the summer usually so that stuff doesnt happen. Plus they acted like they were going to speed up the combines I guess when they were saying they needed to go faster,to hurry up and knock the last 100 acres out.The combine is only going to run so fast,and it doesnt care if there is a tornado in the next county or not.Like they would go faster somehow and do more.Some of them didnt even have tractor trailers so with those big machines how were they going to do any more?Either they must have a short haul to the elevator or a whole bunch of trucks they didnt show.Actually I dont see how they could even get the trucks unloaded fast enough to keep the combines running,no matter how fast they ran the combine,looks like they would be waiting all the time on trucks.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
