View of the day-Al unloading into the bins at the field. He had four in a row, so there was a lot of conveyor moving going on.

We woke up to a chilly camper. We had run out of propane during the night, but thankfully, it wasn't too cold to sleep...getting out from under the warm blankets, however, was another story.

While Al got trucks unloaded and the combine serviced, Marilyn took the propane tanks into Melville to get filled. Once she got back and replaced the tanks, the heat was on again. After making lunches, it was time to get out to the combine and get to work.

We were working on the north quarter section of a half section of wheat. The wheat had to be kept separate, so while Bob's combine had it's wheat hauled west of the field, Al was able to work on filling four bins right at the field. With the wheat running over 60 bu/ac, he was filling alot.

We got all the bins filled and started working on the trucks, but it was clear we wouldn't have enough room to finish and it was getting tough, so with 10 acres left we shut it down.

After all 105 acres for the day was good enough...
