Quick Dick McDick is a farmer in Saskatchewan. I'm also beginning to think that he's a bit insane, but some of his videos are funny. (I'm sure his kids think he's insane.)
For those of you completely divorced from farming, the crop is actually called Rapeseed, or oilseed rape. The scientific name is Brassica napus subspecies napus. Once harvested and dry, it will be crushed and turned into canola oil.
This is Quick Dick McDick's video "My Canola."
He had a video on canola oil production a while back. From the 357 Magnum Archives: Environmentalists, Who’ve No Idea What a Combine Harvester Is…
I love how combine harvesters work. Reap. Separate seed from the chaff. Chop the straw and expel it out the back. Load a cart while on the move, use the cart to load trucks. Why? Because you can't afford downtime. (You may in fact be racing to harvest ahead of a rain storm.) And the precise control that GPS enables is a thing of beauty.
And because no one listens to music that wasn't popular when they were in high school: "My Sharona" by The Knack, from the 1979 album Get the Knack.
Thanks for this. Now it's going to play in my head the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteOne of the two concerts I've gone to since I crossed into being retired was Weird Al, so parody songs like that are kind of a thing I'm in to.
The best cure for ear-worms is to listen to more music...
