View of the day-Busy day in the field today.

We got started before noon on the winter wheat, having a good strong wind helped out quite a bit. We still had to do a lot of patching out of the green stuff, so once we had caught up to the worst of it, the pin got pulled and we moved back to the barley.

The barley was a LOT drier than it was a couple days ago, it was smooth sailing for most of the day...no patching out needed. No breakdowns to speak of either, which was pretty nice for everyone involved. This year there are three CaseIH combines, an 8010, an 8230, an 8240, plus a John Deere S670. Tomorrow there will be another CaseIH 8010 joining the crew.

After the sun set, the situation changed fairly rapidly and by 9:30, it was time to shut down for the night.

With rain in the forecast for Thursday night, it will be an early start and a long day tomorrow...
