View of the day-The General waits for Al while he finishes a round before taking the load to the elevator.
Al took last night's load into the elevator first thing this morning, then came back to the camper to lay out a game plan for the day. Al moved the cart over to the next field, then Marilyn picked him up to go for lunch out at the sale barn.
After lunch Al took the General out to the field and started combining while Marilyn stayed back at the camper and did some book work until he had a truck load, then went out to take over. We got the field finished and Al moved the grain cart up by the radar base north of town, then Marilyn picked him up and on the way back to the field, stopped at the farmers yard.
Al got the farmer to give him a ride back to the field for the General, which he dropped off by the camper...the elevator is not on harvest hours anymore...then he took him back to the combine. After Al got the combine moved up to the next field, the farmer brought him back to the camper and that was it for the day.
It was another gorgeous day...perfect harvesting weather, perfect grain moisture at 11 to 12%...the kind of day that reminds us why we love doing this.
Once again, a far cry from a week ago...
