Harvest On Hold

It’s raining here….again!

The only farmers working are the sweet corn harvesters and the farmers/ranchers with ensilage or chop’n corn.   These guys must think a big freeze is coming, because most times farmers don’t want to work in mud.  But they have tractors pulling the trucks out when they get stuck.  The other thing they don’t like is to have half thier field out on the highway or roadways.

We are stopped until it drys out.  Pinto Beans Can Not be harvested in mud.  Rain smashes the pod down into the ground so the combine isn’t able to pick up the vines and thrash out the beans.

So we wait.

I did see a patch of blue sky last night so hopfully by this weekend we can begin again.
