View of the day-Getting used to the straight header again, unloading wheat on the go...never spilled a kernel.
Frozen hose again this morning, but the sun came out and fixed that right up. Al went to pick up a few swaths of canola that were left in one of the fields, then came back to the yard to blow the combine off before starting in on some wheat swaths.
Kim had swathed some of the wheat that was lodged so part of the field was down and the other part was standing. Bob wanted to bale the straw so, he was dropping it with the JD. We swapped out headers after all the swaths were picked up and Marilyn had to get used to going from a three foot swath to a 35 foot straight head. That didn't take too long and she actually got to test out the reverser that was put on a while back...the straw was still pretty tough.
We finished off the first field, then moved to the next one which was just on the other side of the fence. It was only 80 acres and with three machines running it didn't take long to get that lapped up and once the trucks were all filled we parked for the night.
Al got to run Kim's machine, and will again tomorrow, but Marilyn has orders to make sure the Sirius radio is installed so he can listen to all the NFL games.
More straight wheat tomorrow...
