With the Quantities involved it has to be going somewhere? Pretty much 80-90% that is produced in Mato Grosso and North East Brazil either gets exported or processed and then exported. They get two crops per year in this region too, so they plant a first crop of soybeans and plant cotton or corn immediately afterwards. Most of the soy either gets exported to China and the EU, whereas the corn is exported everywhere around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Few pics from my latest Midwest crop tour. Not to many action shots this time. The first photos are harvesting of mint. Each trailer when closed is air tight, they then pump steam into the trailer and extract a concentrated mint juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Here are a few photos from trip around the US Midwest last week. The crop was really late, really surprised to see so few beans meeting in the rows. Also, was interesting to see quite a few farmers switching away from tracks to LSW wheels.

Tractorman810 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I hope you didn't eat that lot all to yourself i have often wondered why all the yank stuff runs around on skinny's or dual skinny's when a decent set of tyres like europe use would be better, prehaps they are seeing the light at last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the US has a big adoption of control traffic farming, so the compaction isn't an issue. Most of the guys using LSW tyres or tracks are used for tillage. The narrow row crop wheels are for planting. With some farmers moving to 10~20" row spacing, some farmers have started to use LSW type tyres for planting.
