The rain is a comin’ down.   It’s not cold, but the gray skies are not a happy thing today.   Rain wasn’t supposed to hit until about 1 pm, but here it is at 830 am.  We do have some grain moving to market from our storage, but no field work again today.   Sunday’s rain stopped any soybean harvest yesterday, but we did go pick corn in the afternoon.    Now, all field work will be stopped for the day.  And, if the forecast is correct, we may have several days this week with the combines in the shed!

Rain is coming down this morning…

It’s a gray, drizzly rainy day.

The combines sit tucked away in the shed waiting for some dry weather.

What we’ve harvested so far has been quite good.  So, we are pleased with the results we’re seeing.  Let’s hope dry days return soon… it is not much fun to harvest in a soft or muddy field.  And, if your machines create ruts with their wheels, those damage the soil for the next few years.

Wheat planting could begin as early as Saturday.  But it appears we will not have the fields completely harvested by then in order to begin.  And the fields may not be dry enough.  We will do as much as the weather allows!

Have a great week!
