[AT] Horrible harvesting conditions.

[John Hall]

 Idea for a new thread--whats the worst conditions you ever worked in to 
harvest a crop. Hot, cold, wet, dry, dusty, storm damaged etc. I know there 
are crop conditions that are not bad using modern equipment but with some of 
the older stuff I am sure it was a challenge.

One that comes to my mind is picking corn after Hurricane Fran back in '96. 
We hooked the picker to a Farmall Super-A. Since the tractor had an offset 
design, we could hitch the picker over on the left side to keep the tractor 
as far away from the tangled corn as possible. The corn was blown down to 
just over knee high. We were only able to pick it in one direction.
