View of the day-Al dumps a load of rye from the cart to the General.
All the rain missed us last night...everything went south, but we still had the humidity to deal with in the morning, but yes indeed, we finally got to combine today!
We decided to wait until 2pm to do a test, just to give the rye some time to dry out, and it worked...the rye was 14%...borderline, but "the man" said we could cut a load and see where we were at.
The load was dry, so we kept going and finally finished the field that we had started on Friday...80 acres...not great productivity. We got moved across the road to the next field and made a couple of rounds, but the combination of the bindweed and humidity as the sun was going down meant an early night. Even though the grain was plenty dry, the weeds were bringing the moisture up to the danger zone and the elevator said to shut it down for the night. The forecast is for fog tonight, so it will be another late start tomorrow.
Maybe we can finish the rye...
