View of the day-Al goes in to check on the probed rye sample at the Gettysburg elevator.High humidity meant a long wait to get started on the rye. We had lunch in the camper and Marilyn worked on the laundry to kill some time until we could do a test.
Al went out and did a test around 2pm and it was 12.9% moisture...good news. Al went out and combined the General and the farmers truck full while Marilyn got the last of the laundry done.
Marilyn went out and took over so he could unload the General and fix the steering on the tractor. One of the nuts had backed off on the steering cylinder so he could only go in a straight line. It was nothing serious and he had it back together by the time Marilyn had a hopper full. We finally finished the field and were happy to be driving across the rough pasture for the last time.
Marilyn drove the combine back to town then Al picked her up with the General and we went back to get the last load of rye...for that field, at least...then Marilyn brought the trailer for the pickup head back to the camper and we took the new brackets off to paint them before the rust could hit them.
That was it for the day...supper in the camper and an eye on the radar...
