With no rain in the forecast, we are now thinking that we will begin wheat harvest on Monday.  The combines are ready.  Bill and Larry are making arrangements to be here to assist with the work.  Looks like we will be rolling next week!

It will be interesting to gather in that crop.  Despite the cold and rainy months of April and May, the wheat crop has looked pretty healthy.  We are hopeful for a decent yield.  As always, we regard a good yield as a blessing from God.  We do everything we know how to do to plant and care for the crops, but without His blessing, it doesn’t amount to much.  James 1:16-17.

The weather this morning is much more comfortable, starting the day at about 62F.  The humidity is down, too.  As I went down to the Burke and VanVleet farms this morning in the Gator, I didn’t even need to run the A/C!  Next week, a return to the high 90s is predicted.   That’ll make for good (and typical) wheat harvest weather.  It is our goal to get the wheat cut and the DCB planted by next weekend.

Enjoy your weekend.  Happy Fathers’ Day!
