View of the day-The auger is done with the canola, so Kim and Al get it moved from the bin.

We got going on the canola later than we would have hoped, but there wasn't too much left on the field, so we had it lapped up in a couple hours. We went back to the yard to fuel up, then the plan was to get on to Bob's canola. 

Bob went over and did a sample, then brought it over to Kim's to test. It wouldn't even register on his tester, so they took it over to Precision Ag, thinking their tester might be able to do it. Nope. Same thing.

Kim decided we should go up north and get on the half section of standing wheat, so we changed headers and moved north. Al went back to grain hauling in the semi and Doug hauled in the tandem.

Al was up supervising the loading of the semi to make sure he could get the tarp rolled. You know combine drivers...they'll rail the truck if there not supervised.

We got going on the east side of the field and it was going pretty good until we lost the sun and the humidity went up.

The little wind that we had, disappeared and the dust was just hanging in the low spots. We kept going until our speed dropped and the combines started growling, then we quit for the night.

Here's hoping the rain misses us so we can finish...
