Hello occupants of the US Mountain West and surrounding locales. I am currently undergoing a project to locate as many surviving hay derricks as possible. They are a passion of mine. These are some models of various forms, though many have unique base constructions, so if you see something kinda similar to one of these images, its probably a regional variant (unless it's a grain auger, my mortal enemy). There will be examples throughout the blog if you're unsure.
If you know the location of one, please let me know. I have anon enabled to ensure there are no doxxing concerns, if you don't want to comment directly. If you like, I won't even publish the asks.
(Please be specific enough that I can find it on Google street view or something, you don't have to know the address, just say something like "X farm in X place", "near mile marker X on X highway," or "X street in X." Too many people on facebook and image websites will maybe list the state they took the photo in and nothing else, it drives me crazy, I spent hours searching the Salina area in Utah on maps until I finally found the specific location of a photo I found).
More of these are pulled down every year, and I want to try and find as many as I can to try and preserve some of the history surrounding old farm equipment.
