It’s getting closer!!!
Dad came home and said the corn is 14.2% dry….we can begin!!!
Oh, wait! Not yet!
The Elevator guys said the farmers can’t bring in any corn until after the audit. Their audit will be done on the 30th, so the corn can come in on the 31st.
YIPPEE!!!
Fuzzy and I LOVE corn harvest. We work with Mom and we help Dad. There is always a reason to be going somewhere…out the field, in the big truck, (we don’t get to ride on the corn combine, but Mom does and of course Dad does.) But Fuzzy and I sit and wait at the end of the rows.
Er……..Fuzzy waits
NOT ME!!!! There is lots of news out there and I want to know what it is!
Dad says he will start combining on the 31st and haul on the 1st; too many farmers are loading and storing on the semi-s and the grain trucks already. This will make for a very long day at the dumping station that first day. Also, the Elevator guys say they are closing down at 2 on that first day (meaning they will close the gate at 2:00 p.m. …if your truck is in the gate and washed you can stay and unload, if not you have to come back first thing (5:00 in the morning) the next day.
Dad says it takes a couple or so days before everyone gets into a routine. Always it’s a race against time…you can’t combine until the dew is off the corn, then you combine until the dew sits on….way into the night. The trucks go down, sit in line and wait until their turn, then come back and get filled up and head back down…the combine goes up and down and up and down.
Hopefully before any type of storm comes in.
Fuzzy and I go where ever we can whenever we can.
This is Fuzzy and Mom and I on the four-wheeler
This is me with the sun in my eyes… shish!
The cats don’t help….Monkey stays inside so her fur doesn’t get mess up and Sammy likes to hang out by the catnip. (Sure he does a good fair of hunting mice, but that doesn’t count. He doesn’t really HELP like Fuzzy and I 🙂 🙂 )
We went with Mom and Dad to town to take down a corn sample from another field so Dad knows which field to start on, and she wanted to get some milk.
We like sitting in the truck at the grocery store…lots of people and lots of really nice smells. Dad waited with us so someone wouldn’t try to take me…I’m way too friendly you see.
Mom got us some really yummy bones
Fuzzy took two….he doesn’t like to share, see how his paw is holding down one!
But I don’t care…I have TWO of my own!
Yummm,

Corn harvest sounds exciting to me too! I’d love to experience that…all of it. Wow. I’m so glad I get Fuzzy/Boomer blog posts. Our dog died in December and we’re biding our time before getting another one (we live in a city; it’s different)…so it’s nice to have doggie stories every week from you and Celi. Never get enough.

Fuzzy and Boomer live the life! 🙂 The picture on the 4 Wheeler brought back memories of the farm dog where Jeff worked: Jake was half sharpei and half basset hound. Weird mix! He loved riding anywhere on the 4 wheeler with us.

I bet that’s what the soybean farmers here have to do before harvest each day. We’ve had a lot of morning dew. Bet they have to wait for it to dry.
You guys are so much help! That is great. Good that dad stayed with you (and sad that he had to), too many dogs end up lost.
You all have a wonderful weekend! ♥
