September 1, 2015

View of the day-Al getting the start on the oats today, dropping straw for baling.

We were out at the combine early to service and fuel up, then Al started combining while Marilyn went back to get lunches ready. Al had to make a few changes to the settings so he could drop the straw...it didn't look like much in the swath behind the combine, but we will see what happens when the baler shows up. 

When Marilyn got back to the field, we switched drivers and al was back to hauling oats...lots of hauling and lots of oats. Even with only two combines, the cart man was racing to keep the grain away from the combines.

We combined until just after 9pm, managing to cover 133 acres...a new high for this season.

And its hardly even a month since we started...
