View of the day-Soybeans...what else?


The first part of the morning consisted of unloading the trucks that were in the yard from last night, then we both went out to the field in the pickup to service the combine. Marilyn brought the pickup back to the yard so there would be less vehicles at the field to move, then waited for the call to take the General out for a load.


Al got moved to the new field and all three machines combined the beans that had a lot of volunteer corn, which made for high moisture. By the time Marilyn got the call to go out to the field to get a load, the combines were just winding everything down and once the two trucks were loaded, the other Case went home, the green machine moved to the last field and we moved back to the yard.

Back at the yard Marilyn had a time getting all the corn infested beans out of the box of the truck...good thing Ben was there with his long reach to get the last of it out. Once Al got the combine to the yard, he gave Mike a ride back out for the loaded semi, before coming back to get cleaned up so they could go for supper with Ben's mom, Jeanne in Jamestown.

And...finally...

But not to worry...we're not home yet...there's more to come...
