Started on a few acres that are going direct to a packing shed to be graded and bagged in the next few days. The shredder is going out in front to mow off some tops that are still standing and cleaning up some patches of yellow nutsedge so the loader gets through easier. Then the rod lifters follow and pop them out of the ground. The harvester then follows after.

Will start rod lifting for the long term storage stuff later this week and will let it field cure for a week to 10 days before putting in storage

This little 4 row topper loader is going through the field making he opening so a truck can get in along side. It's just dumping onions back on the ground for the 8 row machine to pick up

The 8 row machine loading. The green patches are nutsedge.

The reason we are running these right now is this variety has quite a lot of plate rot also known as butt rot.(smells like butt)

Butt rot

Had 4 people up on the loader throwing the rotten stuff. Just had creep with the loader.    .8 to 1.0 mph. The chains on the machine are hyd driven and can be slowed way down for situations like this
