Finally!

Harvest has finally started for us. We got in two and one half days of harvesting soybeans. They were still a little wet, but we started anyway. As soon as the first field was finished, it was disked, and last night I finished sowing our wheat. It is a relief to have the wheat out of the way, so that we can just concentrate on the combining.

This morning I woke to sprinkles, and then it was cool, dreary, and raining all day. And it continues. So much for harvest this week. Two years ago, this is the day that we finished harvest!

The corn still isn't drying down very fast, and we are having to buy corn to feed the hogs.

Our lender served farmers a free pork chop sandwich lunch at the elevator today. And the WIRL noon show was being broadcast live from there. So since none of us could be in the field, we had some farmer food and fellowship while listening to the market report.
