When I was a kid helping the old man, my job was haul the loads of this crap and dump in ensilage dugout.  Also had the drive a tractor over the crap to pack it down.  It stunk like a sewer with acholic fumes burning my nonsterols.

That was too easy, but it gives me an excuse to post my fav silage chopping video.

Tom, maybe you can make sense out of this scene.  Why do they use horses to pull the power machinery?

fun silage chopping irl story:

We used to have some german mennonites from Montezuma KS come and chop sileage and alfalfa for us (WTF? Alfalfa? Yes, apparently that is a thing we did) and they'd run like 5 rigs all day doing it and we'd get a giant assload of it to feed cows. Anyway, the family that ran that operation got busted for moving hardcore illicit drugs from Mexico. they'd apparently go down there in the guise of doing farm stuff or something and come back with like drugs or drug money or something. not 100% sure how it all worked. but they were german, all of the people that worked for them were mexican. real weird set up. chopped the living crap out of silage and alfalfa though. also some german mennonites in Meade got in similar trouble for something to do with money laundering or some crap from Mexico. Quite the deal.




tl;dr German Mennonites are basically farm mafia kings

[steve dave]

also, I can do an incred german mennonite accent. like, if a guy's name is Jim you say JEEEEEEM instead. it kills in the SW KS farm scene.

[steve dave]

they say some sounds super loud. like, ALLLLLL-FALLL-fu for alfalfa.

[pissclams]

name names in the meade bust

actually led me to google it and figure out wtf they were doing. look at this farm mafia crap:

George Enns, 70, and his wife, Agatha Enns, 68, both of Meade, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy.

In their plea, the defendants admitted:

At least $1.6 million in cash and $5.2 million in third-party checks was deposited into a joint account the defendants held at Plains State Bank in Plains, Kan.
The defendants knew the funds in the account were the proceeds of unlawful activity although they did not know -- or do business with -- the individuals whose names were on the third-party checks
The defendants did not use the account at Plains State Bank for their own business and personal transactions. They had accounts at other banks.
The account at Plains State Bank was used for the deposit of cash and checks that George Enns received during his trips to Mexico. He carried the money into the United States without reporting the funds at the border.
Funds in the account at Plains State Bank were transferred out of state to purchase genetically modified corn seed. The seed was shipped to the border where the corn was transported into Mexico at the direction of George Enns.
 This process is called trade based money laundering.
Sentencing is set for Feb. 27. The government is recommending three years on probation and a money judgment in an amount to be set by the judge.

Beall commended the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Internal Revenue Service and Assistant U.S. Attorney Debra Barnett for their work on the case.

you want to know another fact about old george? he had a trampoline and he'd let me jump on it whenever I wanted. almost certainly bought with dirty corn money. smdh.

That seems like an absurdly long distance from the chopper to the truck. Have you ever been silage blasted by the chopper?

[steve dave]

usually the truck was pretty close. but yeah, it really whizzes it out of there. no, never took it in the face. would probably suck pretty bad.

No cab tractor side by side dad would blast me at the end of the row.  Corn cob chunks at 100 mph hurt like hell.
Just duck the farm cap to keep it out of your face.

Apparently tractors are viewed as a gateway drug to wanting a car?
