I finished my own harvesting earlier this week, so I went to help a friend finish his harvest today. We became buddies in the first grade, which was 45 years ago. I got the privilege of driving his grain cart and had time for a few pictures so here goes.
This was shot as we arrived at the field where the equipment spent the previous night. Time to grease the combine.
And we're off! Only about 35 acres left for today, barring any breakdowns we will finish early today.
Our area had a severe drought this year. Much of my own corn was less than 20 bpa. This field lies in a bottom and the corn was much better than most in our area.
Cart loaded, headed for the trucks.
Yep, that is mud. Where was it this summer?
More mud with trucks waiting near the trees.
Loading time.
After a few more trips it was lunch time. Thanks to my wife it was homemade vegetable/beef soup, deer salami with cheese on crackers and an apple. Mighty fine!
This is my buddies dad checking on my loading job. He is a very young 80 something and can out work many men half his age.
Another set of watchful eyes to keep me in line. Old Pedro has a bobbed tail, and when he wags it, he moves it up and down instead of sideways. Funny to watch.
Then with one more load left to haul--KERBOOM ! Sounded like a cannon. May need a new tire for next year. Thanks for lookin.
