Last evening the combine arrived to harvest soybeans. They finished combining late last night, and emptied the last of the beans from the grain cart into the semi this morning...
Then it was time to switch from the bean head to the corn head...
Then he headed out across the harvested bean field towards the corn. He opened up the fields here at home so that Jim could pick the rest of the corn here for the corn crib...
Jim began picking around lunch time this morning, and here are the first two bin wagons emptied into the corn crib...
Jim doesn't fill the crib every year, but decided it would be a good idea this year to pick at least a portion of our fields rather than shell them out to be sold or stored in the grain bank.
If the weather stays nice and the equipment works like it should, he should hopefully finish up by tomorrow. Then it will be time to shred stalks and bale corn fodder.
A very busy, busy, but blessed time of year for your family.
