1928 or 29 Ford model AA helping with the harvest

I have done this with a "modern" truck. Following along in the truck alongside while the chopper clips the field and the blower blows it up the chute and into the truck.

There is a fair amount of play both side to side and front to back. And a lot of "forgiveness." The man in the tractor will tell you if you don't follow appropriately - don't want to overfill to one side or one end.

I worked for the power utilities for 35 years before being laid off in "deregulation" and finding my career path changed. I was never EVER thanked for my work at the utility. The farm was ALWAYS thankful for my help, and quick to tell me so.

I don't imagine "driving truck" has changed much to my experience. Maybe faster today?

Always good to get some recognition at work. But the best recognition comes from within. It flows from self-esteem.
