A couple of weekends ago dad and I headed to the thumb to watch Chris and ETL farms harvest their beets with their new machine : The Euro Tiger XL ROPA. It a BAMF machine; I told Chris that it reminds me of a slithery dinosaur. The ROPA is a beet topper and harvester all in one. So they can get their beets done in a quicker time and the beets are-how do I wanna put this- 'fresher' because they don't sit in the ground without their tops(leaves) on; they are topped harvested and taken to the beet factory in an our or less so ETL beets are the SHIT!!!! :)
I have to admit its pretty neat to sit and ride with Chris while he is running this amazing machine! When we got up there Dad practically ran out of my car and into the Ropa with Chris; he was funny to watch-kinda like a little kid wanting to go on the jungle gym!
So Chris is just over 1,000 acres done he has about 300 acres left; give or take a few. So hopefully he will be done soon then he can hibernate for about a week -THEN we have our engagement photos!!! YAY! I scheduled them for the 13th of this month with the mind set that if he can make the engagement photo shoot then he will def make it to the wedding!!! Just kidding hunnie I love you!!!
Sorry about the videos-I'm not a professional!!!!
