We started cutting wheat Monday evening.
My farmer man cut a sample and I carted it off to the elevator to find out the moisture on it. It came back with flying colors. 11.9%
Our friend that works at the elevator said, “Tell him, he’d better get to cutting!”
The grain was dry, but the stalks themselves weren’t. They were tough and didn’t want to feed into the header just the best ever. So totally convenient. Ahem.
It was humid here. Humid for Kansas. We’d had a little shower of rain Monday morning. If you could even label it a shower. Just some sprinkles to dampen things. Combined with the humidity it causes not-drying-out-quite.
We cut just enough Monday evening to say we’d started.
Tuesday morning we had a tiny shower again. Late afternoon, the combine fired back up and we did get some acres cut. Mr. Matthew was cutting the small field right beside our house. I always love it when he’s working so close. It makes for porch-sitting and watching, great photo opportunities and easy-easy to deliver meals or drop by the kitchen for food or an iced tea and easy access to go ride with him.
Praying for a safe and bountiful and smooth harvest!
love the pictures! we live in corn/ soybean country…and its so fun to watch all the fields pop up around our house… our harvest is in the Fall…and it becomes my absolute favorite time of year with the leaves turning and the tractors going!!!
Oh, I agree! Watching the crops spring up is so inspiring.
My daughter and I were just discussing today how harvest has it’s own feel and air of excitement, even though it is busy and hot and tiring. 🙂
You got some great shots!!!!! Your farm is so pretty!! Wondering what is going through Mr. farmer’s mind as he
leans against the 4wheeler. All that gold and green and yellow sure go together well.
Thank-you!
The colors do look lovely, don’t they? {And Mr. Farmer Man is so cute! 🙂 🙂 }
Most of our wheat is out in western Oklahoma. Hope your harvest goes smoothly and safely.
Thank-you so much! We should soon finish up. Is yours all cut?
Yes it is. We just received almost an inch of rain on our cotton and milo. I have a happy farmer.
Sounds wonderful!
Great photos! I hope you got it all done safely! Coming by from Country Fair Blog Party!
