June 23, 2011

View of the day-The chaff hadn’t even settled before Ken was out with his rig seeding into the stubble.

We got an earlier start than yesterday and had a pretty productive day. Al had a short haul across the road to the bin where he unloaded the seed wheat, until he had all the bins full. While Marilyn got the last of the field finished, Al and the guys got stuff moved over to the next field.

This time we had to take the header off to move the five miles over to the next field. Ken was waiting with his rig to start seeding a mixture of sudan grass, field peas and turnips…feed for their cattle.

Marilyn got started right in combining on the new field and although it looked pretty good from the road, once she got into it the yield was disappointing…only around 12 bu/ac, a far cry from the almost 50bu/ac yield of this morning, but at least it was weighing in at 59lb.

Al had it pretty slack, but did manage to get a couple of loads in to the elevator and Marilyn combined just over 140ac.

Now that’s a good day…
