It has been a great week for harvesting soybeans.  But, sometime this afternoon, we will run out of April-planted soybeans.  If you recall, we planted beans for a week in April, and then we were only able to get into the fields for 2 days in May.  The rest of the soybean crop was planted in June!   It appears that we will have to move back to harvesting corn for a week or more in order to allow more soybean fields to get ripe and ready.

Here are some pictures from the soybean fields.

John keeps the air filters cleaned so that the engines breathe easier.

Had to replace a couple broken sections Thursday morning.

We are hoping that when we change back to corn that we can find some fields that the corn is dry enough to place directly into storage, not needing the dryer!

Have a nice weekend.
