[QUOTE="ADR, post: 5190627, member: 12473"] I have yet to see a farm crew that didn’t have at least some spillage. Even just folding in the auger on the grain cart will leave a small amount of grain on the ground. I don’t see how any harvested field is therefore legal to hunt. I am as meticulous as anyone when I’m in the combine but inevitably a rookie cart driver or overzealous truck driver will almost always spill something. Sometimes a handful, sometimes a couple hundred pounds. When you take a 100 acre corn field that yields a modest 150 bushel/acre, that’s 15 semi loads. If in the loading of 15 hopper bottoms 200 pounds gets spilled, that is 0.002% of the total yield. That would be completely acceptable loss by most any farm standards. I just don’t know how this small of an accident would ruin an entire field. [/QUOTE]
