Just as I remember farming back in those days. The old Massey Harris combine, exactly the same model I was involved with in 1960. Building a rick. Loading a trailer. It all has to be done correctly. No one wanted to pick up the same bale twice.

I don't know if you guys realized but you would be directly attributing to the ice cap changing just by being there messing with it.
@IronWarrior95 Жыл бұрын
You really think anything of this would make any difference for an ice cap that is some kilometres thick and as big as a country? I really hope you're joking. What should even happen? It's pure ice hard as rock. You couldn't do anything that is significant enough to change anything for an ice shield as large as this even if you wanted. They don't even impact 1m of snow on the top layer where they drive over it and only thing it does is compacting some snow on the top layer. You would literally need a 10km large meteor to do anything with that ice shield.

I was a former hand potato picker for one glorious student job summer circa 1968 in Bourne, Lincs. I was intrigued by the South Lincs potato grower who won, along with my niece, a very recent farmers weekly competition. Congrats to you Mr. Neaverson. An interesting article and it brought back happy memories. I live in Australia now and know well 19 crimes wine! You may want to look up One Hundred and Fifty Lashes a good beer bearing the name of Australia's oldest brewer, James Squire, and yet another convict.

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. It brought back memories of seismic oil exploration on the north slope of Alaska and arctic ocean. We lived on cat trains similar to yours but not as nice. Mainly used deltas and nodwells made by Foremost made in Canada. We were normally never more than a 100 miles from Dead horse, Alaska. The distance you guys traveled would be quite the adventure.
