View of the day-Al makes yet another round on our last field...finally.
It was another wet night with the dew dripping off the trees and the fog so thick you could hardly see the street lights...we knew there wouldn't be an early start.
We went out and did a test around 2pm and the elevator tester said 16.9% moisture...just as bad as yesterday...no wait...worse. The good news was that the clouds were breaking up and the sun was promising to heat things up...too bad it was late in the day.
Al went out around 4pm and did a test and this time it was 12.9%...that sure dropped in a hurry. Al went right back out and started combining and since there wasn't that much left on the field, he lapped it up in no time.
Al moved the combine around the block to the last field then Marilyn picked him up and took him to the tractor and cart so he could move it over to the new field where he continued combining until he had the cart full. Marilyn had picked up some buck burgers from the VFW and took them out to the field.
Al tried to get the combine empty enough to close the hopper topper but there was just too much, so we went over and brought the General from the first field. After we topped it off we were able to get the lid closed on the combine and quit for the day.
Tomorrow we hit the 90's, so we finish for sure...then the cleaning starts...
