Harvest-June 2007

I was asked if I had left the planet, and if you can count being in the field going to another plant...I'm gone. When the weather has cooperated, we've been up to our eye-balls in wheat...seed, chaf, dust, break-downs, diesel, sunburns, hydrolic-hose breaks, and thunderstorms. We should've finished about a week ago, but the clouds have decided to pour moisture upon us so it maybe another week before we're even back out there.

Pictures from the past month:

The view of harvest thru the Truck Driver!

(if you have questions..don't hesitate to ask)

First Day of Harvest--First Field:

Mama's two best helpers! ~~~~~~Waiting on the first swath so a sample can be taken to town and tested for moisture.

First harvest together (she's especially good at bringing supper to the field) We're still workin' on wedding plans too.

Checkin' to see if the combine is working right.

Second Field:

Wind and hail damage--the wheat just lays flat on the ground and it's hard to pick it up off of the ground with the combine-header.Troy concentrating.


Yet another field:

Jack hiding....or so he thought.

We've cut about 800 acres--on about 10 different fields scattered across 20 miles. IF the rain would hold off for a few days, we could finish in TWO days! But we just can't find two DRY days.

I had almost 400 pictures in my camera....so if you want a different angle.....I got it!
