View of the day-Black dust comes off the combine...it looked like the combines were on fire...but they weren't. All John Deere today...we aren't prejudiced.
We were up really early...for us...7:30am, awaiting the arrival of the phone man. He was pretty much on time, got us hooked up without a problem and was on his way.
We got off pretty lucky last night with all of the bad weather going around us. There was a tornado just south of Hamill and some hail...good thing we missed it and there was no damage in town.
It was still pretty wet and humid, so we were going to wait to go out to the field until after lunch. After doing a bit of servicing, we did a test and it was still too wet, so we went back to the camper to wait it out for a few hours.
We finally got started around 3pm and made dust...literally...until we finished the field. We were working alongside the farmers comb
ine, but the field was big enough that we never ran into each other. Al was relegated to cart driver, but he had a nice tractor and brand new grain cart to work with. We kept him busy and he did such a great job that we never had a chance to stop for a break or to unload...we made good time.
