We were back at it before 10am this morning. We did have 13 sprinkles of rain during the night and it was extremely smokey again, but at least there was some wind...not that it did much to clear the air.
We finished the remainder of the spring wheat that we had left from last night, then moved to the piece that had been patched out for seed wheat. We nicely got that done when the big combine wouldn't give up the goods and dump the hopper.
While the guys worked on that machine, Marilyn drove the combine back to the yard to blow out the rads and filters while we waited to go to the next field. Once we got the word, Al led the way to the next field, just outside Kipling on the 605 grid. We cut a large patch to get all the trucks parked, then waited for the rest of the gang to show up.
We are now in standing oats...well, mostly standing...some of it is lying down in places, so it means paying attention to get it all. The cart driver is going to earn his beans with the yield going over 100 bushels/acre.
Good thing for him we are only working with two machines...
