We spent the morning getting the rigs unloaded and serviced, then got the trailers parked out of the way. We weren't sure where we were going first, so we checked in with Kim...his barley was too wet to go. Al said "darn".
We grabbed a late breakfast at the Skyline before deciding to move out to Phillip's spring wheat field, 5 miles from the farm. Here we had another job where Al didn't have to haul the grain, so he was able to stay in the cart to keep the combine moving, while Phillip hauled to the bin which was in the field we were cutting. Not a long haul, at all.
There was a bit of worry to start with as a rogue cloud burst passed just to the north of us...right across Kim's barley field. We had clouds and lots of wind for the rest of the day, but the temps never got higher than about 72ºF...chilly with the wind...a nice break from the last week of killer heat and humidity.
We cut 102 acres...a good day...
