View of the day-The very last of the barley getting unloaded at the bin. Al is well out of the dust with his remote control for the hoist and endgate...that was a great investment.

Even though the day started out cloudy and cooler, the barley was good to go right off the bat. We were alone for the first couple of hours as the farmer had to do a few header and auger repairs, but once we were both out there, we didn't stop. With no grain cart and the trucks not coming out too far into the field, we had to do a lot of driving to dump the combines.

We finished the field around 8pm and got everything moved back to the farm yard...glad to see the last of the itchy barley. The farmer switched headers and went out to pickup some canola swaths before the forecasted rain could put a stop to it. We came back to the camper to call it a night.

Tomorrow we start into the wheat...unless it rains...
