View of the day-The buggy-man had another busy day, even though the green ones were having issues.

Al got to start combining today so Marilyn could go on a fuel run for the General. It was a fast trip to Whitewood to get some clear diesel and some subs for lunch, then it was back in the saddle.

We had a good day, finishing off the section that we had started on yesterday. The green ones were out at the beginning, but another belt went on one, and there were fuel issues on the other, so they missed quite a few acres. They very well could have been out in the field and not been seen, since it was not a flat piece of land and Marilyn spent a lot of time out back in the low spots.

The weather was perfect...we even had some wind to keep the dust away. It did disappear at sunset, but we were pretty close to done anyway. After getting the combines unloaded, we moved three miles back to the farm yard where we will start again tomorrow.

Jeff, his wife Michele and son, Carson came down for a visit...actually, it was a corn run. They brought down 100 cobs of corn for the farmer to do some canning with. This was the last round of the sweet corn that had been planted and it sounds like they had to fight the racoons to get them. The plans are in the works to racoon-proof for next season.

Finally got to break the 120 acres again...pretty easy to do with 38 foot swaths...
