View of the day- It's official-the season has started!
We got up extra early again today to go for another round of biscuits and gravy at the second day of the kickoff breakfast. Marilyn did win a door prize this time...a toy gas pump...how bizarre. After the meeting we went back to Davidson to get the shop trailer and head out to the farm to get the header ready to do a test.
Once we got the header tuned up and hooked up to the combine, we went out to do our first test of the season. It was testing 14.6 so they figured we could cut a load and it would dry down in the heat and wind. We carried on until 10pm and managed to get 52 acres done...a great first day. The combine worked without a hitch...it better...and the wheat is yielding about 40+ bushels per acre.
The weather is to be in the high nineties and over 100 for the next week so we should be able to get a lot done, and a lot will be done in the area with all the crews that are around.
We're online now with phone service, so no more skulking around for wireless, although the lady at the town office told us we could just park outside her house and use her service...did that last night.
But now we have...dial-up...
