Sugar Beet Harvest

[Askewww]

Thought I would post a picture or two of something different for a change. And prove that not everybody that wears a rolex is a city slicker!!
From this past falls sugar beet harvest.

Working ground in a "vintage" 1997 4760. It's absolutely amazing the advances they have made in tractors and GPS. This is the first tractor I bought. Which was last year as I'm 21. 😂

Yes they sure do haha I wouldn't trade living in the country for the world. And I know warm weather makes me wanna get the bow out and let a couple fly!

Very cool! And you're right not everyone that wears a Rolex is some guy in a suite that attends power meetings every day. I only wear a suite on two occasions. Weddings and funerals, and even then...no tie.

I wear shorts, t-shirt, sneakers, and a Rolex every day. And sometimes I wear flip flops for work. LOL. I work with my hands in my own business in my own little shop.

Exactly! It's amazing how people from all across the world doing everything on this planet can come together over a watch!

I have always been a watch fanatic. Plus, I'm a gear head and there are a lot of gears in a mechanical/automatic watch.

This is a fun read and something different. It would be nice to periodically see some new pics that go with the change of the season.

Great pics. I think there are more non city slickers than you think on the board.

That giant root is a sugar beet? That thing is huge!

[SUBversive]

Great pics thanks for posting.

[theloxmyth]

But where's the obligatory 'watch in picture' shot?

Teargas vials from a safe I opened Tuesday:
(See the watch band? )

I agree but never see any picture from people out of the city. Don't think I personally have seen a pickup on the rolex and your car so here you goImageUploadedByTapatalk1426767989.770220.jpg

Didn't own one at the time! Only had one a couple weeks. There will be plenty of rolex and tractor pics don't worry haha!

Yes it sure is! Between my farm and my dads we averaged the top yield out of our 3 districts so we had some huge beets! And now we have a year of bragging right which is nice. This was pretty much the main excuse to buy a rolex in celebration for getting 1st out of everyone. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1426768243.340868.jpg

Cool, I am actually from Bozeman, MT but my dad grew up on a ranch in Baker, MT near the border of ND. Most of his brothers and sisters still live in Baker, MT as well as Bismarck. My dad's family still run three separate ranches in Baker.

Great pics, I was born in SD near the Black Hills and just don't get back often enough. Did a lot of trout fishing and playing on farms some relatives had when I was a kid... Thanks for sparking such great memories.

That's awesome! Have a couple buddies that are ranchers and idk how they do it. Cows are something else haha

Right on!....retired blue collar, worked long & hard, enjoying retirement, haven't had a suit on in 15years.


I have nice watches because of what they do and how they do it, not because of what they are.

I've posted pictures of my truck before. I've always though of posting a picture in the "what are you wearing thread" but figured it would flop.

My wife and I have a fruit distribution business (not my primary job). I grew up on Apple orchards. A lot of my friends are orchardists and fruit packers. I worked the orchards when I was a kid during the summer. Makes me appreciate how easy I have it now.

We do about 50,000# of fruit a year. Small stuff compared to the big guys but fun.

I like the direction this thread is going! Shows a whole other side to this board that isn't shown much.

You don't appreciate the all the "lets see your Rolex and toilet paper" threads?
