Al was up early to get the trucks unloaded and Marilyn had instructions to be combining by 10:30am...and she was. We finished the field we were on...there was only a hopper left...then started moving everything over to the next fields. They were only a mile as the crow flies, but we weren't crows, so we had to take the scenic route.
We made four trips to get everything moved over and once everything was was placed for loading, Al took the General in to the elevator and Marilyn started cutting. The sprayer had only made three rounds around each field and we could see the difference...the inside was still really green, so it looks like we will be having some down time.
On the first round of the first field, Marilyn plugged the feeder house from picking up the wheat that had laid down. Al came out to give a hand pulling and it actually turned out to be not that serious and after 20 minutes, she was back making dust. After getting the outside round done on the first quarter section, Al had made it back from the elevator and was back in the cart tractor. The next field was three quarter sections together in an "L" shape, so in order for Marilyn to make it around, Al had to follow with the cart, to keep her going.
The elevator closed at 5pm, so Al focused on filling the trucks. After Marilyn finished the sprayed rounds, Al had his trucks full and had a dump on the cart and we were done for the day...and a few days, actually, because it's way too green.
Back at the camper, the landlord came for a visit...
