View of
the day-It’s official…the 2013 harvest season has started for us.
Al’s
plan was to be out at the field with the combine to take a test at 2pm, so
after getting a quick lunch together, we were right on schedule. Marilyn followed in the pickup as Al drove
the combine out to the field and started combining a sample. Kevin came out and took the sample in to the
elevator at Alva to get tested, and while we waited for the results, we went
back to the farm to get the General.
We got
the word that we were good to go, so Marilyn started combining, then Al jumped
in to take over for a few rounds until the cart was full. Once we got a load on the General, Al started
on his 30 mile drive over to the elevator in Alva. Marilyn continued combining and timed it
right as Al returned just in time to take another load into Alva…the canola was
running better than expected.
Marilyn
kept combining until Al got back with the General, then we filled the truck
again, but this time the load was only going to Cherokee to get parked at the
elevator…it would go into Alva in the morning.
We got the slip tank filled for the morning fill, then went back to the
camper.
The end
of a good 75 acre day...
