Went to the farm yesterday morning to set the combine to pick oats.I have not been there in about 6 weeks wife has not been doing good can't get to far from the house. Oats look good and are ready to cut but it was threatening to rain. Corn was shoulder high to 6 inches we got a big rain right in the middle of planting. Watermelons look they are ready to take off growing that rain messed them up had to replant most of them.I don't know how long it will take to pick all 15 acres of oats. This big time farming is tough. lol

Know what you mean. I have been since the first of May trying to plant 4 acres of soybeans and it rained again last night.

I"m just wondering, never heard the term "pick oats" before? Is that a common way to refer to harvesting oats in SC?

Ron, The only oats grown in my area seem to be just grown for hay. Corn looks real good around here. We have had plenty of rain this spring. Only probably 25% orf the beans have been planted. Tobacco is looking real good. Hope everything works out well with your wife.

We pick watermelons,we pick cotton, we pick beans ,we pick corn, and we pick oats, and we "harvest" buggers when we get off the combine at the end of the day. Thanks for asking.

We either shell or pick corn here, we cut hay, cut wheat, cut beans, and cut milo. Don't have cotton and we eat watermelons. Thanks I was just curious, it's said differently all over the country.
