At Warehead Farm, milling grain is grown by the farmer.

Throughout the growing cycle the crops are tended to by a variety of machines in order that pesticides and fertilisers can be applied.

Today this sprayer, a Bateman 3000, was in use and can be seen here applying a pesticide to the crops.

Okay, so I cropped the bus photo so it'd fit an 8x10 print, and I really dig how the RSA Tower is disappearing into the fog on the left. Just for shits and grins, I'm going to see how this prints from the scan before I take the negative down to the lab and have it done the right way.

I also darkened it and jacked the contrast up a bit in Photoshop.

This is my new "favorite photo I've ever taken" for the time being, and it's the clincher for wanting to get back into black and white film photography; something I've been seriously mulling over the past several weeks.

NOTE: a good stand is key to holding soil and preventing erosion. A good stand is a function of seeding method, seeding rate, and good quality seed (certified seed with a high germination percentage). In the event of a poor cover crop stand, erosion can occur.
