Harvesters

On Saturday we got a close-up view of a Combine Harvester at work. Living in Edinburgh it's not the sort of thing we see very often, sometimes not for several years.

And today it was just the other side of the fence. It was huge! Churning away at the crop - wheat, I think. Gathering in the seeds, and chucking out the chopped-up straw behind. It was fascinating to watch, as I hope you see in the video clip above.

And then once it reached the end of its run it emptied out the golden grain into the tractor trailer, as you can see in the clip below. The field lay before us - ripe for harvest.



It reminded me of the time that Jesus said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few." (Matthew 9:37)

In recent years, I have come across a good group of Harvesters. You can read about them at their website.
