Wheat

Harvest is one of the busiest time of the year on the farm. Then to make it even busier, the ideal time to plant winter wheat in our area is the last couple days of Sept. and the first few days of Oct. So, we have to pull one or two guys off of the harvest crew and prepare the ground and drill the wheat seed. We spent yesterday and today doing just that, and I finished sowing the wheat by suppertime tonight. The heat is good for the seed and soil, and now a gentle rain would be great to help get it germinated and out of the ground. The tractor cab that I was in all day did not have a functioning A/C, meaning it was about 15 degrees hotter in the "solar collector" cab than the outside temperature! I'm feeling pretty ragg'd out this evening. But I'm happy to have that job done and can resume havest full speed(which for us isn't too fast).

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
