View of the day-Brent is keeping an
eye on the bin out in the field, heading up the ladder to see how much room is
left. It is the camera that makes the bin look like it is on tilt.
Al got the usual unloading, servicing
and fueling done, then started combining until Marilyn made it out to the field
around 10:30am. After switching out, he went back to filling bins and moving
augers…which there was a lot of with the smaller bins and the big yield…getting
close to 70 bu/ac.
We finally finished the section of wheat, then moved a mile down the
highway to the next quarter section of wheat. Marilyn had been having issues
with the feeder plugging and after inspection, Al decided to put the new chain
on the reverser. He had been wanting to do this for over a week, but couldn’t
get time to do it, but now he had to make time. Once the chain was replace, the
problem was solved.
The cat tails are plentiful and
really explode when the reels hit them. It’s almost like a blizzard…but let’s
hope we don’t see that for a couple or three months.
We kept combining until supper time,
then we went into town in two shifts for a delicious supper of turkey with all
the trimmings. Jean had worked her magic with the turkey and brought it in to
Balcarres to Bob’s mom and dad’s for us to have a feed. Did we mention it was
delicious?
Back in the field, the goal was to
finish the field and hopefully have enough room for all the grain. We managed
to do just that even though we had to leave a bit on the combine.
No sign of rain, so it should be
alright…
