Spring's Equipment

A Willmar Eagle 8500 Sprayer at the Sunfield grain elevator--presumably available for the rental use of the elevator's customers. As I mentioned a couple days back, I love the exotic gear the local farmers use.

It runs in the family. When Debbie was living in southern Minnesota, one of her pasttimes was watching the passing farm equipment. Only those were huge factory farms, and that equipment dwarfed the stuff I see.

We'll return to this scene in the fall.

Sunfield's four miles down the tracks and M-43 from Mulliken. It's about the size and shape as my town, and has a similar population. But it's a half-century older town. Also unlike Mulliken, Sunfield's elevator's still in operation, and the Main Street central business district's still largely intact.

As I've mentioned before, Mulliken's become a bit of a Lansing suburb. Sunfield remains primarily a farming community.
