August 20, 2016

View of the day-More fun with the drone today.

We were out at the field early to get the combine moved to the next field. The yellow one was put into retirement for the rest of the barley, so it was just the three of us...and we all ran all day without a breakdown.

Marilyn had a chance to take the drone out again...still in beginner mode, so it didn't get too far or too high. The only thing to figure out now is how to get them off the drone/tablet/phone and do some editing. When that happens, you'll be the first to know.

We moved to the last field just before the sun started setting and we could really tell. Productivity went down in a hurry...we spent more time backing up to clear the header than we did going ahead. By 8 pm we got the quit sign and were only too happy to shut her down.

The combines got moved back to the yard and after 20 minutes of feeding the mosquitoes as we had the "recap meeting" with the rest of the crew, it was back to the camper. They are left with only about 120 acres of barley left and they will be able to lap that up in no time, so we are done at Wapella.

Might be moving day tomorrow...or not...
