Traffic on our country roads is now at it’s highest point
If it isn’t an ensilage truck, it’s a truck hauling, onions, or potatoes, or pinto beans
The weather is perfect…..warm days (high 80s) and cool nights (low 40s)
Without even a HINT of a rain storm
Or the ever-lasting wind.
As I write this all these cute little beauties are sorted and sacked and stacked ready for sale.
Nothing left but the bean straw. (Which, by-the-way, cows love to eat!)

Wow – all those “pinto” beans! This harvesting is all new to me.
When will you return your Aberdeen Angus cows, calves and bull
in to the field to clean up the leftovers?
Looks like you have had perfect harvesting weather.
Cheers

Your weather sounds just about perfect. We are having day time highs in the upper 90’s and night high 79’s. We are having rain so the grass keeps growing, too fast. It is hard to think of that many pinto beans.

Great photos.
Does anyone make beanstraw bales, or do you just let cows and hogs in to clean it up ?
It just makes my heart swell with pride knowing all the American farmers are harvesting their crops all over the nation. Corn harvest starts here in Vermont in 2 weeks. The trees are changing color and the leaves are falling off the trees over night because they are so dry and brittle.
We need rain.

WOOHOO! So glad nature has provided great weather! Those trucks full of produce look wonderful. Our farmers are not as fortunate. We had a wicked windy day not long ago that flattened a lot of barley fields. A lot of that crop is considered a loss. And a cold spell froze all the potato vines so with the late start and the early end of the growing season the spuds will be small this year.
But happy for you and your harvest.

Hard to see but that looks like a model 95 combime. 40 years old maybe more. Straight truck early to mid 80’s maybe. I’m a chevy and a deere guy. Some one is taking care of business here folks. I appreciate seeing this equipment still in operation and looking good.

Farm “traffic” makes you slow down…and in this fast paced world it is refreshing, I never mind following a farm vehicle.

So with the hay up, beans harvested , do you only have corn left to do?
The silage trucks around here have been fast at it. I very much dislike being on the same road as them wild drivers. Season cant be over soon enough for me!
