View of the day-Our first Kansas wheat, running about 40-45bu/ac.
We were up early to grab a quick breakfast and drive the 25 miles out to the bins where we would get things unloaded. We wanted to get everything done in the cooler morning temps...if you could use the word cool to describe it.
After unloading the combine and cart, we did a bit of fixing then moved about 10 miles to the first field. After getting the header hooked on, Marilyn started combining, then let Al take over for a bit to enjoy the air conditioning for a change...and to sneak in a brief rest while he filled the truck. The temps were up in the triple digits again, but only for a couple more days then the 'cold' front moves in and temps will be in the upper 80's...of course that is the weekend forecast
Later in the afternoon, Marilyn got to enjoy the company of Maitland, Maddy, Macy and Mandy...not all at once of course, as they came for their annual combine ride. After finishing that field and removing the header we got everything moved back across from the bins to start the next field. We combined until 9:30 when the truck was full then headed back to Great Bend early to get cleaned up then go grocery shopping...and blogging/surfing.
Almost 100 acres today...
