Got the combine moved out to the field this morning, ready to start cutting oats once we got the go-ahead. There was a heavy dew on everything this morning, so the start time had changed, although there was a strong east wind that helped to speed the drying.
We were down to two combines, but it was just as well, since the oats was running in the high bushels, and the haul to the bins was a 20 mile round trip.
Marilyn had a visit from one of her theatre friends, who was passing by on her way back from Carlyle to Yorkton. This year she didn't get a ride in the combine, since Al was doing the driving.
We quit just after we lost the sun behind a cloud bank...the straw was getting really tough and we didn't want to plug anything up.
We learned our lesson on that, the hard way...
