Description
On Highway US 166 east of Chetopa, Kansas, I ran across an interesting scene - a field filled with old farm equipment lined up like a row of elephants. This is on the north side of the highway, just east of county road SW 90th St. There is a state highway sign nearby with the name of the community of Faulkner, apparently misspelled as "Falkner."
This photo was taken with a Canon PowerShot IX20 IS with the lens set at F/4, shutter speed 1/1,000 second and ISO-80.

You forgot dirty:-) In Russell, Kansas this summer I photographed an old one at work and it really turned out the dust.

Great shot Keith! Before my father bought a combine (in the 1960s) he put up every bit of his grain with a thresher. Noisy, hot, and dangerous work--not to mention it took brute labor to keep the thing fed! He used his machine for contract work, too. Farm-to-farm lumbering along at about 3 MPH behind a tractor it would take hours to get set up before the work could actually begin. A different time...
