Is it me, or does this kind of look like one of the rabbit masks from Bioshock?



Get a brain, Morans!



Walmart brand dog food?  It's not so good, actually.



The soy has turned brown.  The farmers can't start the harvest until the soy beans are sufficiently dried.


 
Center pivot irrigation is fairly rare around here because this area usually gets enough rain for growing corn and soy. 

A long pipe, equipped with sprayers and supported by wheels is connected to a water supply at one end.  An electric motor slowly drives the pipe around the center pivot, watering all the crops in a giant circle.  Some center pivot systems are a quarter mile (400 meters) in length.  You can easily spot center pivot irrigated fields from the air; they appear as giant circles.



Rudolph out for a drive.  The next day I was talking with a Costco employee who mentioned she saw someone driving around with a Rudolph plush in their car.  That was me!  :)



Now it's a party!
