We had a few random sprinkles during the night, but not enough to delay the 10am starting time this morning. Marilyn shuttled drivers to trucks in various parts of the field to help ease the racing around that the poor cart driver was subject to. He has a job like herding cats, to try to keep all the machines in the same general area of the field. With only cell phone communication, the instructions tend to get delayed just long enough to make them useless when one of the "cats" veers off.
With all five machines running it didn't take long to cut 350 acres. As a matter of fact, the combines were getting cleaned off before 5pm. The spring wheat was finished.
Al brought the combine back to the yard to blow out the rads, filters and change headers. Since we were done with the straight cutting, we needed to get set up to start in on the canola swaths tomorrow.
Perfect weather for the Labor Day weekend...and more importantly, harvest...
