Combine Harvesting

Yesterday we visited one of Mac's field sites.  We watched (up-close!) a small combine harvest wheat.  Ian was especially interested in how the combine was loaded onto a tipping trailer.  The boys decided that when they are old enough, Eric will drive the combine and Ian will collect wheat samples in bags.  We also collected grasshoppers.
