View of the day-Another good day of cutting by pretty much everyone in the area. Everywhere you looked there were plumes of dust flying…now this is action!
We scheduled AIS for 10:30am and with the wind blowing the way it was and the 88º temps at 9:30am meant we could be have been going even earlier. We knew we would be putting in a long day without starting at the crack of dawn, and it was going to be another hot windy one.
Marilyn got the combine fuelled up, then went back to get snacks for the day and Al got the rigs moved closer to the next part of the field, then started combining. Once Marilyn made it back, it was round and round until the field was done. This one didn’t yield as good as the first one, only around 20, but the test weight was still up at 62lbs.
We took the header off, then moved a few miles over to the next field, put it back on and started right in making dust again. Marilyn combined until the
truck was almost full, got the combine fuelled, then Al took over while she went into town to make sure she got her order of the Friday catfish special from Miss Dotties…awesome stuff. After picking up the fish, then getting the slip tank filled with fuel again, it was back to the camper for Marilyn. Al made another hopper full, then came in with a load on the General to dump in the morning.
No rain in the forecast, so we forge on…
