If Farm Girl Friday still existed, I’d save these for tomorrow. But since there isn’t, might as well show you today.
The silver poplar (remember) was rubbing on the combine, so what’s a farmer to do:
Since there are no power lines nearby, you grab the chain saw and climb on top of the combine!
At least it’s a better idea than standing in the bucket of the front end loader, which was the other suggestion.
