1300 miles through Oregon and Washington

Hi followers,

like you know, I have moved to Washington State from California last weekend. This weekend and about 1300 miles more on the truck odometer, I am already back in Idaho. In Caldwell, ID.   I will spend this week to demo the BiG X 1100 and our trifold 12 row header Easy Collect 903. But first some more about the road trip through Oregon and Washington State…

The landscape in the west of the US is changing very often. Especially in Oregon! Driving through the desert, along mountains and pastures, forests, lakes and rivers. On the mountain plateaus farmers are growing grain on dry land. Going from Oregon to Washington you cross the Columbia River, which is the natural border line between the two states. Just behind the border, you have a very nice view on Mount Adams. But less words and more pictures…

















The demos last week went very well. A highlight was to chop corn at a big dairy with about 41.000 cows. That farm was farming about 93.000 ac with corn and hay, grain, potatoes and vegetables. It was very impressive. Unfortunately I can’t show you any pictures about that. My camera is lying somewhere in a corn field in Washington. I have lost it. But a new one is bought already, so there are BiG X pictures coming next week.

On Saturday I prepared the BiG X 1100 for the coming week. The corn is not that tall than it is in California, but customers are talking about 35+ Ton/ac. We will see…

Regards from Idaho,

Benedikt
