A day on the farm

[95_stroker]

Been gone for a few days, some of you may have noticed, some of you might not care.....

I took a trip up to the north country to visit the folks for the weekend, its supposed to be right in the heat of the harvest season but they have been unfortunately blessed with about 10" of rain right in the middle of their small grain harvest. We managed to bury the combine up to the axles on Saturday trying to find some dry ground to harvest. Sunday we were a little more successful.

Pre mud-fest.

Drier ground, dust flying is a good thing.

Hey I know that big red machine! Inside and out....I preferred the inside where the A/C is but breakdowns kept me outside ALOT.


Hope the yields were good. We had anywhere from 40-60 bushels/acre depending on the field we were at. And the price of wheat right now is !

Mike, nice pics but I am sooo disappointed, you didn't get a one of the buried combine???

 

[kbud14]

YES!!! I too know that combine like the back of my hand. We yielded 78.5(the .5 is just for braging ) this year. Best wheat we have ever seen, and the most acres of wheat we have ever put out. Sadly we contracted half at $4.50, but sold the rest at $5.00. This is gonna be one hell of a year for our crops. Our beans look great, our corn looks average, our beef tastes DELICIOUS!!

Mike, would you be upset if I said the bike looks better with your sister on it

 

[hheynow]

Hard red spring wheat is tops in my book!

Mike, looks like you have a lot of that Red stuff on the farm. I still like them old Farmall. Sounds like you need to keep an eye on JH, you know how them truck drivers are.
