View of the day-Poised and ready to start the second last field in Gettysburg, SD.
It wasn't an early day because we knew we wouldn't be able to start right away. We weren't supposed to get any rain but there was a band of clouds that were just to the south of us that were looking like they could dump at any minute...they never did and it cleared off leaving us with a beautiful day for combining.
We got the General moved through the yard to the field...there is a long, tight tree lined lane that the combine won't fit down, so it had to start at the other end of the field. After taking a test in and finding out it was 13.2% moisture, we were ready to roll.
Al started combining and Marilyn went back to the camper and got the pressure washer rigged up to give the tractor a quick swish before taking it out to the field. By the time she got it to the field, Al had the General loaded so she took over the combining.
When Al got back with the General, the farmer gave Marilyn a ride back to the camper and Al combined until the cart and General were full, then brought Big Gen back to the campground to unload at the elevator in the morning. After cleaning up and having supper in the camper, it was relaxing time.
And now we are under 100 acres to go...
