View of the day-Al takes a picture while driving the cart and Marilyn dumps on the go...somebody doesn't clean his windows...
We got out to the field around lunch time and were able to start right in on the wheat. There was only 45 acres, so it didn't take too long to get that lapped up. The wind was unbelievable...it was just like Oklahoma, dust swirling and a haze in the sky...great drying weather...or so we thought.
We moved over to the rye field...the dreaded rye field...and did a test...14.3% moisture. Bad news...the elevator refused to take anything over 14%. The farmer had just finished swathing it, so it was very likely that by the time we had finished the 60 acres it would have been even higher moisture. We called it an early day, again, so the farmer could get a little further ahead with the swathing.
We parked everything and went for an early supper, then went back to the camper for another super-do-nothing evening of Olympics and internet.
Al is back to looking for the rope...
