When we arrived at the field where they were harvesting we saw the BIG combine with a corn head attached at the front. It slowly travels through the rows of corn chopping off the corn stalk as it goes. As the combine storage area fills up, the tractor pulls the grain wagon along the side of the combine and the corn is augered into the wagon. The combine travels at about 2 miles per hour down the corn row.

The combine stopped when it reached the end of the row of corn.

We picked an ear of corn while we waited for the combine to stop. The corn stalk is really tall and the corn was hard to pick! I'm glad we have combines to do the work.
