How Great The Yield From A Fertile Field

Slow

Harvest progressed slowly this week for a variety of reasons.  The combine spent a day and a half at the dealership to start the week.  We had some rain delays, and one full day of heavy fog during which we felt it would be unsafe to be hauling grain on the roads.  Another half day when the alternator quit on the combine, and an early evening when the feeder house drive belt played shed and shred.  Hopefully this coming week will allow us to finish.  We did finish filling our bins at home. 
So far, our highest yielding corn has been the replant corn planted the third week of May.

We bought about 5 pounds of Halloween candy not knowing if we would get any trick or treaters.  We had two this year, but that leaves a lot of candy for us to finish off.  😉
