August 16, 2012

View of the day-Al dumping canola into the grain cart.

We got out to the field around 11:30am and Al pulled the first shift.  He combined until the General was full, then Marilyn came out to the field with lunch and took over in the combine.  

Al had a short haul, since the bin site is in this field and we are continually getting closer to the bins, so at some point he will be meeting himself coming back on one of his trips.

The temperature was a lot cooler and there was a strong north wind, but the sun was shining which was a nice change.  It almost felt like late September...and we are only halfway through August!  Still, we know fall is coming and the rest of the week is looking like it will have the same temps...except the nights are forecast to go down to 40ºF...brrr.

We managed to get in 125 acres and are looking at slightly less than that to get the field done, so...we could possibly be done with  our USA harvest tomorrow.

Won't that be a great birthday gift for Al...
