September 15


View of the day-The Kaposvar Valley Creek just north of the field we are combining west of Esterhazy, SK.

Our company left before we got up this morning, he wanted to get north of Prince Albert by noon...pretty ambitious. We finished getting the camper hooked up and ready to go, then after fueling up and having lunch, forged on to Esterhazy. Al pulled the camper for a change and Marilyn followed in the car.

After getting the camper parked set up, we went over to the combine, cleaned the windows and moved it out to the canola field a mile north of the yard. Marilyn combined enough to make room to park the grain truck, tractor and cart, then took Al back to bring the cart to the field after he dropped off the truck. Once he got back, Marilyn went into town to get an adapter for the water filter for the camper and pick up a few groceries. After Al combined the first truck load, Marilyn took over combining until he came back, then went back to the camper to hook up the water and dish.

Al got another couple of truck loads done, then called it a night after the straw got a bit tough. A productive day, and it looks good for a couple more. Once we finish the canola we will be moving south of Esterhazy to do a pile of barley.

Nice itchy barley...
