We were out to the field by 9:30am and after doing a bit of servicing, started combining. We were in some low spots that had green straw, so if it wasn't the header plugging, it was the spreaders. We got lots of excercise going up and down the ladder to clean them out.
It was cloudy all morning and, although it wasn't in the forecast, we ended up with a shot of rain shutting us down for an hour or so. We came back to the camper to kill some time and hope that the showers were done for the day. It turned out that they were...here at least. The sun was shining and there was even a bit of a breeze.
We went back out to the combine around 4pm to start up again, Al carried on combining and Marilyn went back to the camper. We had one reinforcement from Alberta helping us out, with two more to come, all with the same combine as we have. They also brought a grain cart, so productivity should go up...as long as the rain stays away.
Hopefully we see a 100 acre day soon...
