When the hum of the combine harvester sounds on the wheat farms in Montana, it means a new day has begun, another busy one.
As the protagonist of today, Retevis RB86 GMRS mobile radio will accompany its owner to start the day's work, the symphony of harvest has been played, and the busy harvest season, even if the global economy still has great uncertainties, but at least, For the harvest season, every farmer is happy. But once harvesting begins, it must be done as quickly as possible, and ensuring that pellets go back to the warehouse is the ultimate goal of every farmer.
"Old horse with new saddle"
For the farm old combine, the Retevis RB86 GMRS mobile radio is the new saddle.
"Mike, the loading truck is about to be full, stop after this line." "Ok, got it" ... The conversation is between Mike and his mother. Mike's mother is the "commander" of the entire farm, directing the farm's harvesters and loaders, plus two agricultural transport vehicles. With a tacit understanding, the harvest of nearly 20 acres of wheat was completed in a short time.
This family farm team is equipped with a total of 4 GMRS radios, the father and son who operate the harvester, the driver of the two agricultural transport vehicles use a Retevis RB86 GMRS mobile, and Mike, Mike told us that this is he just equipped for their farm this year. It costs less than $1000 , but it has improved a lot of efficiency.
Equipped with GMRS radio, it is one of the new atmospheres brought by the "post-90s" Mike to the farm. Father Paul said with a smile: "This is an old horse with a new saddle!".
"Don't look at my dad's approval of GMRS radio now, but it wasn't like that when I was about to buy them." Mike said. For these GMRS radios, his father, Paul, was angry with him. "A GMRS is worth a hundred dollars. We already have CB." Paul complained to his son more than once that it was not worth it.
But when the team actually used the new equipment, Paul realized that it was so good. When encountering scattered plots, the four combine and tractors could not see each other in their field of vision, and it was very troublesome to communicate via CB radio and mobile phones. With the New GMRS radios and the coordination and scheduling of Mike's mother, the efficiency of the entire team has almost increased by double.
"GMRS is indeed more reliable than CB, it is clearer and more stable. I should have used it earlier!" Paul said.
"Lunch is ok, come now"
It's lunchtime, Mike's mom calls them over for lunch with the RB75 GMRS walkie talkie.
After a short lunch, Mike and his father hurried into the combine harvester. The combine harvester is busy again, Harvest season is busy and stressful.
'The wheat harvest only takes about 10 days. Early harvest and late harvest will reduce the yield, and there are still uncertain factors in the weather. We can only rush for time and progress. " Mike said. Although he has only been officially on the farm for two years as a fourth-generation farmer, he understands what's involved.
Go out at 5 in the morning, only have a simple lunch at noon, and have been busy until 8 or 9 in the evening. In this state, Mike's farm team has lasted for 3 days.
A combine harvester is responsible for harvesting the wheat, two transport aircraft are responsible for transporting the harvested grains to the barn, the three drivers are talking through Retevis RB86 GMRS mobile, and the rest of the farm personnel use RB75 mobile stations. "This is the best solution," Mike said. "We chose this waterproof suit because we need to prepare for a possible storm, although it is sunny now"
