The men starting cutting the grain on Saturday, August 16th. Because of the late start planting this year and the cooler weather there were some fields that were still green. They started on the ones that were the ripest and then moved on to the others as they ripened. Harvest went pretty well. It did rain one day about half way through harvest. The weather wasn't warm enough to dry the grain for a few days after it rained and it set them back about five days. The moisture content of the grain needs to be so low before it can be stored. They finished with the last of the grain on Friday, September 12th and they started cutting third crop hay the next day.
This field is Cherry 4 (yes the fields have names)
Unloading into the old Peterbilt.
