Traveling through Western Illinois and Iowa you will find acres and acres, even miles, of deep black earth that is being planted with corn and hay. Getting that corn and hay once ready for harvest is no small matter. In the late summer and fall we often see threshing combine machines at work. Until yesterday I did not appreciate the size of these behemoths. In fact behemoth is not a sufficiently grand term for these marvelous mammoth machines.
Just on the outskirts of Muscatine, Iowa, sits a John Deere dealer. Located on the property is a lies a line of these large combine threshers: the John Deere STS Combine Bullet Rotor. Pat and I stopped and walked up to these Brobdingnagian monsters. You can see in these two photos, just how elephantine they are.
