Annika got to have her first combine ride tonight at the Greenfield's farm. She LOVED it! She was so excited all day to go to the farm and ride the tractor. Little did she know the size of it (not just the John Deere riding lawn mower that Uncle Dale has)!
It was really 21st century farming with a whole computer system with GPS that literally drives the combine for you....It has sensors that "feel" the ground to move up or down, tell you the moisture content for the corn and the number of bushels harvested.
She was so amazed to watch the back of the combine fill with corn after it got "eaten" in the front...and then loved watching it get emptied into the other tractor driving next to us. What a cool experience! I grew up in Iowa and didn't get my first combine ride until 3 years ago!
Annika now wants to be a farmer when she gets big "just like Lyle" (though she still wants to be a princess too). I think she'd look really cute in her pink dress and tiara driving a combine through the fields.
