August 22, 2019

View of the day-Time to get rid of all that itchy barley chaff.

Another early-ish start to the day. This one was courtesy of warm temps and a strong SE wind. We all got going around 11 and while there wasn't a lot left for five machines, what remained was scattered, so there was a lot of driving.

We finished around 3pm, then waited to see if the winter wheat was going to be dry enough to attempt cutting. While we waited, we had the shop trailer out in the field, so Al blew out the rads and engine compartment...the wind helped quite a bit with that.

We got word from the farmer the moisture in the wheat was way too high, so our day was done. After finishing the short cleanup, we headed back to the yard with the combine.

Now we wait to see if the rain misses us...
