View of the day- Cotton plants in the wheat that refused to give up the ghost.
We got started early again and were going great guns until another hose went. It was next to the last one that went, so it didn't take as long to get it apart, get a new one made, and get back in the field.
Trucks were an issue today, with the lineups at the elevators. Al could haul 10 miles to the east to the small town of Harrold, or 10 miles to the west to the city of Vernon. Harrold had the line-ups because they were loading rail cars to make room for more grain. The first load of the day had a line-up of 18 trucks, so Al turned around and went to Vernon. There was a cloud burst while he was unloading outside so the box was a bit of a mess.
Still, with the delays and breakdowns, we added another 120 acres to our total, and the end is in site. Hopefully, we will get finished and get some equipment loaded to head north on Wednesday.
