Just a smidgen of dust

Third day in the Beans, 12% when we started and 10% yesterday afternoon. Late in the the day on the first round out by the road the dust stopped traffic, LOL. Amazing to me is even at 10% there was almost zero shatter loss. The beans we raised 40 years ago would be 80% thrashed by the header at 10% and shatter loss was significant. I'm just the cart flunky, cushy job in beans. They added a camera to the spout so you can see in the trucks. That was money well spent

Not raising much dust here between raindrops, some early soys are down to 10 percent. And, the cart 'flunky is a job that requires as much or more coordination than the combine operator where most everything is auto something....!

So long as you stay off the road the dust would be OK with me. I nearly ran into a combine while driving a back road in Ohio a few years ago. The snouts suddenly came out through standing corn which was planted within a few inches of the pavement. Here in the northeast, from what I see, crops are not planted within 6 feet of the pavement.

I was the cart flunky hauling oats and had to learn quickly the proper use of a Kilbros gravity wagon with auger. He taught me how to unfold and engage the auger, but I was fearful of spilling grain by not stopping the auger in time, but I seamed to get the hang of that really easy too.
