Hauling Grain to Town

Another part of working at Valley View is the harvesting and hauling of grain. Today I am going to talk about corn harvest. When the corn is fully matured and ready for harvest, we take the combines, trucks, and grain cart to the fields and start harvest. When we load the trucks, depending on the moisture of the grain, we either take the grain to town or to the dryer back at the farm. If we have to take it to the dryer, we unload it into the holding bin that empties into the dryer. After it goes through the dryer it travels up the grain leg and back down a spout that is directed to a specific bin. Once it has landed in the bin it is cooled by fans on the bin and hauled to town. When all of the corn has been dried and hauled to town, corn harvest is over!
