During my drive through some back roads of Iowa, I came across a collection of rusted farm equipment.
It was interesting to walk among them.
Who knows what the original device was but it seems to have been converted to a cart to haul irrigation pipe around the property. It stands out by the bails of piled hay. Days of duty may be bygone. The field beyond don't look too stinkin' good neither. I was told the field needs some serious work. The first crop was usually to grow alfalfa to invest it with nitrogen. The first farm crop ought to be growing champeen soil. It's a can of cake after that. Everything goes into a chipper-shredder, including cottonseed meal, alfalfa, shredded tree limbs, autumn leaves, grass clippings and kitchen leftovers. Pretty soon the soil is primo and will grow anything.
The series slipped over to the horse-drawn implements, as long as I have a long way to go on the genealogy, scanning, retouching and documenting journey that has cost me a couple of months so far, sheesh. My eclipse shots are still languishing on my disc. I suppose that if McIntosh worked his soil, he probably set a field to grass hay or alfalfa that could be baled or stored in the silo for winter feed for his dairy cattle.
The Ag Museum is still open for weekends, including Fridays for a while into fall. It's probably time for a leisurely stroll down to Mac Lake. I loaded up with autumn captures this year in general and accessed the only snow Saturday last winter. As always, it's a great spot for exercise and access to Mac Lake. There is always something more at McIntosh but I won't search today. I apparently can't find everything in a single pass. I like the natural patina of the rusting tones as they were. There is great diversity in those tones.
