View of the day-The first tentative round on the last half section...of wheat, at least. Lots of mud hiding, but no one got stuck.

Al and Kim spent the morning moving trucks up to the next field of wheat, then after lunch, we got into the combines and tractor and made the move.  

Kim decided to haul grain, so Al got to drive his combine for the day...which made him happy. There were a few water runs through this field, so we had to cut out around them, but there were still a lot of wet spots that we had to be careful around. The dual tires really made a difference, Marilyn was able to drive through the soft spots with a full hopper without sinking, although she isn't getting too cocky just yet.

The tractor and cart were needed most of the time to get across the driest spots along the water run. At least the trucks could get close enough to the other side of the run so it was a short shot for the cart.

A beautiful day and more of the same for tomorrow...
