Progress

We had a bumper apple crop this year, but haven't had time to make cider.  Harvest is in full swing.  Corn and soybeans are both dry now, and we are approaching the halfway mark.  Yields are variable, with corn running below average and soybeans above average.  We have been sleeping with our windows open, which means we get to listen to the sound of grain dryers and bin fans all night.  I get used to it after a few nights, and I'm usually tired enough anyway after the long days.  The combine sat in the shed two days last week.  One day we were waiting for parts and Saturday I was home alone with no help (no brother, no nephews, no sons, even the wife was gone), so I sowed the wheat.  This is about the earliest we've put wheat in.  Right on the fly free date.  Friday night the leg shut down.  One of the Zellers came out and determined that we roached one or possibly both motors on top that drive it.  Since they are 108 feet in the air, we called our millwright.  This morning they showed up with their crane and we had two new 10 HP motors running the leg by noon.
