The Combine: A Photo Essay

So I promised y’all some pictures of the combine in action, and here they are. Without further ado, the combine.

Combine, meet a reader. Reader, meet a combine. Look, now you’re friends with this heavy piece of equipment. In case you didn’t know, the combine is used to cut wheat. I can explain to you how it works via photos. So, looking at this picture, you’re looking at the front of the combine. The front has a giant column that revolves very quickly.

On the giant rotating column, you will find a series of plastic teeth. They bend the wheat back ever so gently and push them towards…

THE TEETH! Imagine these coming at you with all the force of a giant engine, now imagine them coming at you with all the force of a giant engine while they are slicing back and forth so quickly you can’t even follow them with your eyes. Great. Now you understand how a piece of wheat feels right before it meets its demise. Now this whole machine is operated by…

The farmer! Enter Mr. Wise, expert wheat farmer of over 50 years. He operates the vehicle by using a bunch of levers and by turning…

The steering wheel! And the steering wheel helps turn…

The tires! Which in this case are be-speckled with groovily artistic light from a grate above. Now all of these move the combine forward so that it can…

Cut wheat!

Lots of wheat!

So much wheat! Oh the humanity! The massacre! So many innocent botanical lives lost!

Then you go, open the door, talk to Mr. Ted, and tell him to get the truck because your grain bin is full! So he get’s the truck and you…

Unload the grain! And then your work as a farmer is done for the day. So you go back home to pet your…

Really cute dog! His name is Duke, because  ”Carolina” is a totally stupid name for a dog. Ew.

And that’s the combine! I hope that you enjoyed this informative photo-essay! Have a great day!!!!!!!!!! Bye now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
