Last Load

We finished!  The last load of the beans left the field at 6:00 p.m. heading to the Beanery.  The truck will get in line.  By 6:30 the next morning we will be there to drive the truck through the unloading area.  We are about 7th in line so by noon or 2:00 depending on if something doesn’t break down the 2011 Pinto Bean Harvest will be over for the year!

Then in about two to three weeks (if the weather holds and the moisture level drops) we will start combining corn!

Whew!

This is what we work for…Harvest!

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

  1. This has been a learning experience. I remember cotton gins running all night during picking time, but I knew nothing about beans. Thanks for the lesson!!!

  2. Hooray for you!!! So glad you got them out and on their way. Hope the weather holds for your corn crop.

    They are starting to defoliate what cotton is growing here. My renter is not in a hurry to do that…wants it to mature more, and that’s o.k. by me. Another hot day tomorrow, so should help cotton to break open those bolls.

    Blessings!

  3. Do I understand that you put the truck in line, then leave it overnight, and then come back the next day to finish up the transaction? I’m glad the harvest went well! Crossing my fingers and saying a prayer about that fickle corn moisture level.

  4. Woo Hoo!!
    We have our hay down for the fourth time this year. Not a very big crop tho. But unheard of to get a fourth cutting in our county.
    Now we are in SD getting started on the cornstalk baling!!
