Saw the news report. Have not heard much from farmers though. Some are talking about the giant grass bio fuel.

Nice pictures. We also have a JD 9860 Combine...with a 30' honey bee draper. We also have a 9750 with a 25' honey bee draper. I like the 9860 because we can use a 35' flex header for soybeans. We also have a 876 Brent cart and they are very nice, makes harvest go alot smoother and keeps the combines moving with it's big fast unloading auger. I'm from Arkansas too, what town are you from?

We farm mostly around Black River located near Dowdy, AR which is near Cord, AR. Cord is sort of southwest from Pocahontas I believe.

About time you turned up again Roddyo...

He's been too busy out making money to come play with us.:):notworthy

I went to a farm sale down in the delta the other day and this was in the back yard.

The first thing I thought of was EGS. Its good to see some old soldiers still in action:)


Just remember I'm no Minne-Mo man buy any stretch of the imagination. That being said, it is nice to see some of those old boat anchors in action. Is that set-up for flood irrigation? Is it set-up to run on LP from a tank or pipeline? Interesting you just don't see anything like that around here.

I never would have guessed you being from over in that area.

A buddy of mine and his son live at Strawberry and farm toward that direction I think.

Losing it and spending it is just as fun as making it:)

I really don't know what the deal was on the Minnie Mo. That picture is actually in the back yard of a sub division. I really think it's hooked up to natural gas from the house lines. We have some of that here coming off the pipeline. There is no telling what it cost to pump water with that setup. It lloked like an 8 inch discharge.........here we got 14's.

BTW, I saw a Link Belt 2700 for sale in an auction. I'll send you a text.

Strawberry is my address actually but I live near Saffell. Is your buddy Vince Wright and son Spencer?

Vince is who I was talking about.

I sold a backhoe over your way yesterday also.......a 416B. I think it went closer to Cord.

I haven't heard anything about the grass bio over here........that's what we need, something to put this dry land ground and some hill land in and make some money. I hope these peanuts get this rice off of this sandy ground.
