Why my house is always dusty-Let me know what you think

Took these today from an upstairs window with my Nikon D3000 all at ISO 100 The first one was shot at 1/4,f22, 300mm, the second was shot at 1/40,f22, 270mm
and the third 1/13,f22, 70m
I have tweaked them all in Pse and cropped them. Would you crop them different? I was playing around with aperture and shutter speed. I learned that grain coming out of the chute looks the same at pretty much any shutter speed.

I think I have always know where it was from. If it wasn't plowing in the spring it was baling in the summer then harvesting in the fall. We are close to the road and right across the street from this field. I don't know why the pioneers couldn't have built the house a little further from the road and field. Of course when they built it they farmed with horses and oxen.... I have been in this house for over 20 years so I am used to it. sigh

With the lens I had I couldn't get far enough away to get it all in, so instead of cropping at the grill I cropped at the cab.
I tried to run out and take one with both in it, but the wind has picked up so much it was buffeting the tripod and camera and blowing chaff right at me.
I tried from the window again, but have lost the light.
Here is it pre crop.

Aw Choo!
Those look like soy beans and they get awfully dusty.

Yes they are soybeans. And they are dusty. They got them in just before the rain started tonight.

When i was a young gal, we had the farmers cutting in the fall, and if you had breathing difficulties --you were dead, when they stated cutting. That is one dirty crop. I am glad for you that its over with.

I am glad that it is over also. My husband was out helping the last two day and he can hardly breath tonight. When we farmed it ourselves it was always in hay. I love the smell of new mown hay and miss it now that we lease out the land and buy the hay.

I hope his lungs clear. i also have great memories of fresh cut hay, Or Alfalfa.
I along with you have to buy the hay and its close to $10 a bale at this time,and increasing because of the drought. Its becoming scarce.

Must be you are in the south. I flew over Texas in August and it looked like a waste land. I wish we could send you some rain. We have had record amounts of it this summer. It is raining right now. We had flooding like I have never seen before this summer. A lot of our Michigan hay is going south. The price here has been driven up here also.

I'm in Colorado. Eastern side. Been a Drought here for at least 10 yrs, but when Tx and Ok got hit this year with Drought also, the Cattle Ranchers went right to the growers and bought out the whole years worth of Hay Crops. I think our hay is being trucked in from Wyoming now.
I waited 2 weeks for a delivery.
Hoping and Praying i can still find it come winter when i run out.
