Harvest has begun!

What was just a possibility this morning is now a reality. The combines are out on the fields and the first grain is being brought in.

Peter combining wheat on the field across the road from the farm. The straw is kinda tough and it is slow going but the swaths are being eaten up. The wheat is not quite dry but that is what aeration bins are for.

The first load of wheat going into the bin.

Look waaaaay across the field and you can see Kerry combining oats on a field just down the road from home a ways. It is also pretty slow going, good thing it is only a 25 foot swath, but the early yield estimate looks promising. The semi is getting it's first load of grain.

A doctored up photo of Kerry doing oats. Not bad for a zoomed in shot that has been color adjusted and cropped!

Anyway, harvest is officially underway!
