I recognized the "Modern Farm Systems" bin! Originally made in Webster City, Iowa. Owner used to fly at Twin Comanche (this was in the late '60's). Starting in 1971, after I completed my military service, and was working for the State Employment Service in Webster City, I referred many a client to the site. I've always marveled at how long the paint seems to stay fresh for the "MFS signage! I believe MFS is no longer producing any product. 2011, when refurbing the paint on the exterior of our Upland, CA, home, I rented at scissor lift (concrete surrounded most of the house). I would not have been able to compete the task just standing on a ladder!

I was told it takes about $2000/hour PLUS THE PILOT'S CUT to profitably keep an 802 in the Air. What's the cost for a Thrush?

Great video! Really cool camera angles 👍🏼 I’m here for the aviation, farming, and whatever else comes my way. I enjoy learning about agriculture in the Midwest because it is so different from what we have here in the west. I’ve heard about cover crops for years and thought I had it pretty well figured out but your video helped confirm it. I thought that was probably a Citabria in the hangar with the Bonanza. When I saw them I was hoping that we would get to see them soon. I’ve never been in a Citabria and didn’t realize that you had one so that will be fun. Thanks again for the great video 👍🏼🇺🇸

@@willjohnson3907 cereal rye is usually around a bushel per acre. Some of that depends on the government program that they are using. When seeding, we try and get to an airport as close to the field as we can. We try not to ferry over 15 miles maximum. We charge more per acre for seeding since we are doing more trips to cover the same amount of acres.

I’ve never rolled my lawn. The lawn at our old house was 25 years old and still very smooth, but we don’t get frost heaving or rain in the summer (mower ruts maybe?). I’m guessing that takes a toll. I’ve seen it done on baseball fields and that’s it. It’s pretty rare for us to get five inches of rain in a week during the winter. If we do we are starting to worry about flooding. Benefit of California I guess.
