New Machines in Agriculture

[Jdeere562]

I just ran into this. Hard to believe the new machines. Very interesting!

I would hate to of been born a chicken.
The chance of you being someone's 'pet' is very slim.

You would never know what was going to happen if you were a chicken. You'd probably freak out with the machine grabbed you and that would be the last thing you knew.
You would have a short and fattening life

We just had The World AG Expo here, lot of great inventions for agriculture.

Commercial chicken processing isn't a pleasant process. The chickens are hung by their feet from a conveyer with their heads being dragged through an electrified water bath. Some chickens manage to keep their heads above the water. Then their throats are slit by getting dragged over a rotating blade. Chickens are alternatively stunned or killed by being gassed. The old chopping block and hatchet in the backyard are quicker but not doable on a commercial basis due to the sheer numbers. Chickens raised for meat are usually slaughtered when 7 months old. Egg-laying hens are slaughtered when their laying capacity declines at about 18 months old.

I once interviewed a young lady for a job at one of the companies I worked for. I asked her what her last summer job was. She said a she had a job stuffing live chickens into a semi trailer. I thought that sounds a lot like working here in our downtown office. We ended up hiring her and she did great.

But since the topic is new machines in agriculture, how about the John Deere 9RX series of tractors.

I work in the seed industry. Our specialized equipment is really cool.

The World Ag Expo is mind blowing for sure!

Narrator should have went to the bathroom before recording. Can tell he's holding one in

We raised 100 roaster chickens each summer.
When I was really young, we 'processed' them at home by hand. That kind of sucked.
When my dad had a few dollars in his pocket, we took them to a processor....

Pretty interesting stuff. They've come a long way from calf buckets, 8-cow milking parlors, and hay stacker wagons. My dad moved round bales with two homemade tines bolted to the bucket of a JD 4020.

The narrator mistook chemical sprayers for irrigators several times, though.
