This looks like a new space ship from NASA ready for take-off, but it is really from an Iowa farm. This last summer my brother installed an extensive drying system and what you see here is steam coming from the drying system. The corn from the field is loaded into the large bin and is moved by conveyer into the space capsule shaped bin. On this cold, crisp, fall morning the steam was rolling off the dryer. The corn is dried to a certain percent of moisture so it will keep over the winter. After it is dried in the "space ship", it is moved into storage bins like you see on the right. The weather has been very nice this week, so the farmers are going crazy combining.
I love this time of year in Iowa!!
