Second harvest

We were done with harvest almost as fast as we started.  I would've uploaded these a couple of weeks ago...but Blogger had issues with me and my pictures.  From what I've read on other's blogs..I'm not the only one it doesn't like.

The bin is almost full on the combine here.  Setting inside the combine, the only way you know when it's full is the annoying beeper that goes off. 

Troy and his Dad eating an early supper waiting on Trent to finish filling up.  Lunch/supper outside...with the bugs, the flies and the dirt.  Typical for this time of year.

Emptying into the semi which Troy gets to drive to town.  Harvest was so slow that nobody needed me except to bring food to the field.

A view from the other side of the semi.  This truck holds about 600 bushels of grain.

 I rode for awhile...since they wouldn't let me drive...and you can get a better view of good vs. thin wheat.   Why a combine has a windshield wiper is beyond my comprehension. 

This is the first year we've used this new header.  It has a conveyer belt that takes the cut stalks up into the combine.  I just know anything that falls on it better be ready to get chewed up.

Harvest lasted maybe 8 days this year.  The wheat is sold and the money is already spent at the bank.  We now have another crop, milo, planted.  Some of it is under irrigation so we can control the rain!
