Terry had the corn checked for moisture and we were DRY!
Out to the field we went, joy mantling our cheeks
On Tuesday’s bright late morning in October (thankfully not January like a couple of years ago) smelling of dry corn stalks, and shelled corn we began filling the truck!
By 1:15 in the afternoon the first load was down to Elevators. By 2:30 p.m. it was back in the field.
Now…hopefully there are no breakdowns, or some sort of crisis, or rain…rain would not be a good thing right; harvest is here!

No, just through the setting sun…the fire was more to the southwest of us.

well, again, my ‘judgment’ of how far and where seems to be pretty much off-the-mark/shot. my brother was driving back from Olathe and thought it might be a controlled burn (!). oh, I googled “current fires in colo” and still nothing showed up in our area — nearest would be Parachute and Dove Creek.

It was a huge fire…I wondered if some hunter started it.

Yay!! I hope it continues to go well for you! We just harvested our corn and beans over the past two days, and it’s a good feeling to be finished. All except for about 5 acres of corn that Jim wants to pick because the moisture level was a bit too high yet when the combine came, and he didn’t want to be docked at the mill.
