Are you saying that one of those loads was a tritom and one was a super b?

Yes. That’s why I said guess which one was the B Haha

[Blaithin]

Here’s a comparison shot to help you guess which ones which.

I load trailers like that at harvest sometimes. (Although heaped with peas is excessive even for me) Field to bin. SLOW.
Beware buying used trailers.

About a decade ago, I know a guy who runs multiple trucks and was known for heavy loads had a farm visit from the Highway Patrol. They asked what elevators he sold grain to and then made an official request to those elevators for the scale tickets for all his loads in the last month.

Then a week later they made another farm visit. It went this way. So though we have the right to go back as far as we want, we decided to stop counting when we got to $20,000. We could have gone much higher but I think we made our point.

On the way out the door tgey said, Oh by the way, we may stop by again. You never know.

True story

Here's a picture of our drought ravaged hay crops. Not even as tall as the baler.

Next is a picture of a volunteer canola that must have been in the fertilizer blender growing in my lowland hay that was seeded in early june. The hay has been mostly a failure since it didn't rain after seeding. But the volunteer canolas did exceptionally well. Someone would have promised me it would be this dry all season, I could have seated this to Canola early and had a fantastic crop. No pods on any of the volunteer canola plants. Between the moose and deer eating the flowers as fast as they grow, and maybe the lack of sulfur, the few flowers that made it didn't make any pods.
I should have seeded canola here and sold it as silage to my neighbor. Could have had a tremendous crop. I didn't want to miss the opportunity to get it seeded to Grass since it may be the only spring it's dry enough. Last time this ground was farmed was in the fifties. Then it started raining and was never farmed again.

Fire south of me this afternoon. Assuming a combine went up. It got into the hills and trees so it’s probably going to be a dink to get out.
