I was given notice that some pipeline work would be done in some of my rented fields. I had a great cutting of hay from the place, and I have 28 acres of 12 foot tall, tassled, beautiful corn on the place. Really, it's been like my zen rock garden lately. So, I took a drive over to check it out in the sun today.
Beautiful perfect fields, ears filling nicely... but wait... something is wrong...
Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Did someone give me hallucinogenic drugs?
WHAT IS THIS?!?
It appears that the pipeline work necessitated the removal of a 120 foot wide right of way for some new pipe!

I won't get too angry, they did say they would pay for the corn that got knocked down, going by current ear, kernel, and kernel row counts on teh undeveloped corn at CBOT price (which, came out to be 243 bushel per acre) but, for some reason just seeing it chopped up like that with bulldozers approaching literally made me vomit... I guess it's foolish pride, or maybe it was like watching a toddler tromp through a perfectly feng shui'd zen garden... It just feels tarnished now. At least I have some pictures that I can save forever. I will be staring a lot at the pictures during the winter, and for anyone really tromped by the drought, maybe you can enjoy them too for now. I just wish I hadn't ate all that food for lunch before seeing it...

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
