The smoke from the fires is still thick here.  You can see it all around even close to you. I can not imagine what it would be like to be in the midst of the fire itself.  This is bad enough.

First Terry opens the field

Then Misty cuts while Terry watches

Then on her own.

This is not an easy machine to drive since you don’t use a stirring wheel, but

levers!

One field down. One more to go.  But first the corn has to be cultivated and the rows packed so the water can be set in it.

The smoke filled canyons

Watching the setting sun through the smoke.
