Well, we are getting there, slowly. As of tonight we have 180 acres of corn still to harvest. The bin dryers are full and running. We have decided to start shipping wet corn to town in a effort to finish harvest. This is not something we normally do but we obviously have some concerns about the calendar.
As kruser mentioned in his earlier post it is still wet. These pictures kind of show that there are places that are very wet.
Because of the wet conditons, we are using the auger wagon alot. Hauling corn out to the road and loading in the road or hauling it to the bins and dumping it there. It is slow going but we are running and that is what matters at this point.
Just a picture of a nice fall day and the combine running.
A picture from early evening one night this week.
A look as the bin is filling, almost full.
Farming in the dark with the lights of the big city of Farmington in the background.
Picking corn on a drizzling dreary morning. We have had a few of these latley. Never used to run in these conditions, learing lots of things in 2009.
The late afternoon clouds made for a intersting picture.
Another day comes to a end. On this particular night our work didnt end for several more hours.
Of course wrigley is along every step of the way.
With the long days and all the activities we all have to take a break now and then!
I had hoped to finish harvest this week. The weather doesnt look like it will let us get done what we need to but we should get to where another break in the weather will let us get done. Been a long year and we are all ready to put this thing to bed.
