When I was talking about augers, I meant an auger to put grain up into a grain bin. Fun fact though a combined has multiple augers to move the grain to the gain tank of ther combine and another one to unload to corn onto a wagon or grain cart. A drill is like a seeder to plant the crops.

This fall we combine some corn to go through ther drying system and sell to the elevator. The corn went through 3 augers in the combine, 1 in the grain, 1 up to the wet bin, 1 out of the wet bin, 1 conveyor in the dryer, 1 auger out of the dryer, 1 auger up to the dry bin, 1 out of the dry bin, and 1 up the semi truck. About 11 augers total. That's ridiculous, and some the corn is still good quality ha. We also moved it to grind for the pigs that added another auger of the grain cart to an auger up the harvester, then 2 from the silo to the grinder. That's 4 more augers.

So many cool things to learn and new toys to try out. I think I'll be discovering new things for hundreds of hours to come.

Thank goodness for Epic Games giving it away for free, or neither of us would be on PC, and I wouldn't be on 19 for that matter

On the topic of the Global Market mod, you can sell anything, but once you sell, it doesnt immediately show on the market listings, so you can't just buy it back. I don't know if it is like a BGA and sells at 12 am, but i didn't get paid for the initial tip into the silo. And you can'y buy everything from it, and least not yet...

I just feel bad for anyone NOT enjoying this on PC. Map size restrictions and slot counts would have ended by fledgling farming career in it's infancy.
